"CREW-aholic"

It's clean, crisp, fun, innovative, preppy, geek-chic, all American, tom-boyish, feminine, colorful, neutral, plain, loud.....It's J.Crew. I absolutely LOVE them. More then the fashion, the attitude, and the atmosphere they create in their retail stores....I'm obsessed with their monthly catalog. Yea, when I get the mail and the J.Crew catalog is somewhere stuffed in the middle of bills and nonsense....I get this cheesy smile and my day gets that much brighter. Sounds crazy huh, but me and my brother go back and forth about the layout, the styling, the models, the fashion, the colors, and the artistic expression through out the entire catalog...and remind ourselves how amazing and creative the J.Crew team is.

 

I don't know how else to express my love for these catalogs (I have a pile of them in a corner of my room cause I find it morally wrong to throw them out, hehe......so serious too!)

He's effortlessly cool!
