New Crew

Considering that people like myself practically don't go out anymore, getting a new pair of shoes is the farthest thing from my mind.

But when I saw this pair of New Balance x J. Crew 574s, it made me want to go to the US, snag a pair, and walk around as much as I can!

Hoping and praying that this is the year that we'll all be able to do that.

She's still with the Crew

Thanks to The Haunt, this colorful cotton pique dress from J. Crew went from an out-of-stock dress to Ate Bullet's closet.

She liked it so much, she wore it immediately.

That's what the crew can do.

Part of the Crew

So, there's this nice linen dress on the website of J. Crew. It's a perfect dress for summer, given it's breezy silhouette and tropical print.

If you check it out on the website, you'll see that it's so popular that it's already sold out.

Good thing there's The Haunt!

Not only is the dress still available, it's at the fraction of the price.

The gold elements of this dress are so chic! Not only is there gold foil print, the zipper has that nice, golden sheen.

Finds like these make worth visiting the haunts well worth it.

Color Story: Peaches and Cream

White is a color that's not that popular in local circles. In fact, when people wear white, you can almost hear the snide side comments such as: "Hi, Doc," "Nurse... Nurse..." or "Where's the wedding?"

It's actually quite a shame because white is such an elegant color. And it's a color that's not just for doctors, nurses or weddings. When worn properly and thoughtfully, white is a great color to incorporate in your daily wardrobe. 

For example, you can start with a base piece like this creamy white pencil skirt with gold zipper details.

This chic skirt is from J. Crew, which - thanks to Jenna Lyons - makes ultra chic pieces.

To keep the entire color palette light and easy, this light peach crepe blouse from Kamiseta is the perfect pair.

Together, you have a clean, easy, palette cleanser of an outfit.

I doubt if any doctor, nurse or bride would be this fashionably peachy.

Roar of the Lyons

Aside from Alexandra Chung, another fashion figure whose style is non-chalant yet uber cool is Jenna Lyons. As President and Creative Director of J. Crew, she really embodies the spirit of their brand - classic but cutting edge.

Whenever I see her in fashion events, she's always immaculately dressed. And by that, I don't mean that she's overly dressed. She's the type of girl who stands out because she doesn't look like anyone else, and that's in a very, very good way.

Take for example her outfit for the MET Ball's punk-themed soiree:

She's wearing this nerdy-geeky ensemble, but with a touch of punk. That sweatshirt with a quote from the classic The Clash ditty is all the punk she needs.

With ensembles like that, she's really one of the queens of the fashion jungle.
