J.Crew Fall 2014 RTW

i finally caught up on nyfw happenings last night cuddled in bed (hiding from the brrr, chiberia). and well, they strike again. or so tom mora, j.crew's head women's designer does. inspired through his trip last year to berlin, this collection's inspiration is 1920-30's germany and it's full of sparkle & color (would you expect anything less from j.crew?!). during this era, it was a very prosperous time for art, poetry, and music (or so i read here). all of which was centered around cabarets.

enter in: the j.crew fall 2014 rtw collection. the dropped waist pants, color palette, vertical white & black stripes, and tweed. post world war I women started wearing ties and and wearing pants. being in menswear and personally loving mixing super feminine pieces (like gold sequins) & a red lip with menswear inspired pieces- this collection is everything and i can't wait to get my hands on it this fall before the pieces sell out... which we all know the outerwear will be the first to go. ;)
