Once upon a time (before motherhood), I was going to New-York every two years and one of my fav’ US shops to visit was J. CREW so last year, when we went as a family, Mila and I went on a shopping trip and got lots of gorgeous things for her including a pair of New Balance we couldn’t find in the UK. Now, J. CREW has 4 stores in London and a fantastic website that ships everywhere. If you’re not familiar with the brand and the fabulous Jenna Lyons, check out these four basics:

1. THE WHITE SHIRT (the one featured below is the Bib popover)

2. THE GREY COAT (the one featured is the Stadium-cloth hooded zip coat)

3. THE CASHMERE SWEATER  (the one featured is the cashmere boyfriend jumper)

4. THE BOYFRIEND JEANS (the pair featured is the Eastwood jeans)

Which look do you prefer?
