Last week I was delighted to attend the J Crew event, at J Crew Brompton Cross, hosted by Laura Fantacci the shopping editor of Red magazine and WIT blog.
It was a fabulous evening with lots of champagne flowing and a chance to look at the cream of J Crew's Spring Summer 2014 collection including the stunning range of Sophia Webster for J Crew's shoes.

 |
| Embroidered Tunic in Chambray £118 Another classic boho top in beautiful fabric, look stunning on I have ordered this top. |
 |
| Merino Tippi Sweater in Heather Dusk £69.50 A great basic will go with anything from slouchy distressed boyfriend jeans to a floral pencil skirt, a capsule wardrobe must have. |
 |
| Vintage Denim jacket in Melrose wash £150 Alex from The Frugality bought this at the event and it looks fab on, would be so versatile, wear with maxis, shorts, white jeans and throw over cocktail dresses. |
 |
| Vintage Straight jean in Abbot wash £128 |
 |
| Flower Fan Necklace £49.50 |
 |
| Crystal Venus Flytrap Necklace £98 |
 |
| Sophie Small Body Crossbag £89 |
I have selected the items above as I see them as capsule collection pieces that will see you through a few seasons if not more, J Crew is on the pricey side but the styling and details just make each piece a little different and a little bit special.
It was a fab evening and a great opportunity to catch up with lovely bloggers including Keri from Chronicles of Dolliedaydream, to talk all things fashion!
I love a little trip into town for a little inspiration, are you a J Crew fan, have you bought anything from there, if money were no object my wardrobe would be full of lots of lovely items but as that is not the case a girl can dream and maybe buy one or two pieces!!
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments as always, Frances xx
