W2WW hits the runway at J.Crew!

My usually boring, getting-ready-for-the-week Sunday night was anything but last night as I got all decked out in J.Crew for a fall fashion show at the Natick Collection store.  When it comes to the fashion part, I can hold my own.  But walking the runway was going to be something all together different.  

I dressed in one of the outfits that J.Crew stylist Sylvia Gesell put together for me and was accessorized by Jen, who I was missing terribly at this point!  The pre-show banter in the dressing room amongst the "talent" was a welcome distraction.  There were about 20 of us in total, decked out from head to toe in J.Crew.  There was a lot of complimenting going on and shopping the outfit that your neighbor was wearing.  I swear one woman was going to buy those cheetah pumps right out from under me.

Here's a super fall pairing of navy and royal with some J.Crew signature arm candy.  And those MacAlister wedge boots looked sharp with the pegged jeans.

So here I am in the burgundy trousers with cashmere camel v-neck sweater and amazing cheetah ponyhair pumps.   We accessorized the outfit with a bright pink clutch, big sparkly necklace, and those fabulous cheetah and gold bracelets.   It all happened so quickly I just went with it and had fun.  I saw a few camel sweaters and burgundy Minnie pants at the check out after the show and am happy to have inspired the audience.
Here are two of my other favorite looks from the night.  The layered vest over a colorblock camel & black blazer was hot. Underneath was a sparkly top and those fabulous multi-strand pearls that could dress up a burlap bag and make it rock.  If you haven't discovered the multi-strand pearls yet, click on the link right now and see what you're missing. 
The men who were modeling were outstanding, especially rugged guy and cool dude behind him.
Best of all was walking out and in between the flashes, seeing friends and readers cheering me on.  

Thanks for your support ladies! ~ LB

  4. Bella, the pearl necklace really is fab. Both Jen and I got it. It's the twisted hammock necklace. The sparkle top is the collection sequin color block top. I see loads of wear opportunity in fall and then for holiday parties. Jcrew has 25% off everything right now so jump on that! Thanks for reading,

  5. Sweetsy, the blazer is the wool flannel blazer in festival blue. It looked sharp on the model and totally easy to wear for fall. Jcrew 25% off right now if you're going to try it, do it now. Thanks for youre comments!

    1. Now that I know it is a current blazer and looked it up, I wondering if you are certain it was festival blue and not grape? It is incredible how purple it shows up on my monitor while the website photo in festival blue looks very much, royal blue. Can you clarify for me or maybe it is just one of those things:)

    2. It is absolutely the festival blue and not the purple, I'm certain. It looks true to the color of the blazer she wore that day. Though I bet the purple was would be great too! Good luck!
