Madewell has a similar effect on me as its sister store J. Crew - I want to be as easy-going and casually beautiful as the effortlessly styled women in the catalogues and lookbooks, but when I actually get into one of their stores I find myself sort of at a loss; nothing seems nearly as tempting. At least, that's what happened to me last year in nyc when I hit Madewell for the first time. Maybe this year will be different since I've developed more of a covetous relationship with their goods online. Here's some of the items I am currently craving:
silk shutterbug top, and above, silk maxi dress
more after the jump...
I just had my passport renewed because I'm dying to shop at Madewell! Can't wait for the F/W collection to arrive.
ReplyDeleteGod that first dress is divine. Love that we both did Madewell today!

i love that first pic!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I completely agree with how you've described going into their shop. Ok ok, I've never actually been to a Madewell shop but that is exactly what I experience whenever I go into JCrew. I swoon and swoon over their catalogue and the online shop and then go in and feel strangely 'meh'. Maybe it's because I realize that in order to buy all the small elements of the perfectly yet non-descriptly styled outfit I'd be out a couple of grand.
ReplyDeleteActually I have a biker jacket from Madewell that I pretty much wear everyday. There are definitely some gems to be found. xx
