BEST FALL BASICS: SPOTLIGHT ON J.CREW

09.20

J.Crew has been a go-to brand of mine since high school, so nearly two decades! It was actually one of the very first brands I partnered with when I started my blog. I hosted an event for the J.Crew store at The Domain in Austin in the fall of 2012. Needless to say, we go way back! From quality coats to the perfect-fitting pair of jeans, I’ve purchased just about every kind of clothing item and accessory from this all-American label. The quality is on point for the price, and they’re so good at staying on top of trends while maintaining a timeless appeal. They are also one of the few brands fully embracing size inclusivity – they carry sizes XXS-3X / 00-24. It’s no surprise J.Crew is also one of Meghan Markle’s favorites! She owns these boots, this shirt and this cardigan (which she wore just two weeks ago)!

When J.Crew reached out about a partnership to promote their fall collection, it was a no-brainer. If you live in Texas like I do, sweaters and coats may be the last thing on your mind right now… but nothing like a little fall inspo to get your wish list and wardrobe ready for the season! Whenever I’m shopping for new wardrobe staples, I take a peek into my closet and identify pieces I don’t already have. For example, I recently donated a bunch of old coats I no longer wore, and realized I was in need of a classic black style for everyday casual wear. What I like about this style is its easy fit, spacious pockets (a must for me on the go!), and lightweight wool, ideal for Texas winters.

Check out and shop more of my favorite fall styles from J.Crew below!

  • The next coat on my list is this double-breasted style! The Sienna color looks like such a rich camel hue… my kind of neutral!
  • I love a good mock neck sweater. It’s probably the neckline I gravitate towards most in the fall/winter season! I picked up this style in natural and it is such a pretty ivory hue – the best basic. Tempted to also get it in grey! I’m wearing a small.
  • Nothing more elegant than a winter white outfit! Thinking of snagging this skirt in ivory.
  • If you’re looking to invest in a comfortable flat boot for the season, don’t miss this style! They come in black or brown.
  • I’m including this chic blouse in my Fall/Winter Work Capsule Wardrobe (hopefully launching next week). Such a sleek staple you can style day to night with ease.
  • These jeans I’m wearing in this post feature an on-trend button fly and are in the coolest smokey blue wash for fall! They’re true to size, and very stretch and comfortable.
  • This ruffle-hem dress is such a cute option for weddings this fall! Shocked it’s under $150. Also really love this one!


PS: because it’s still a million degrees here in Dallas, I took these photos inside at Homewood! If you haven’t been to Homewood yet, it’s a delicious restaurant + bar on Oak Lawn. I actually celebrated my birthday here with my girlfriends in July! The interiors are gorgeous and the perfect setting for capturing these rich fall pieces – thank you again to Homewood for letting me use your space as a backdrop!!! Don’t miss this Parker House Rolls when you go for dinner…
