The other day right as I was about to throw on my new light weight jacket from J.Crew, I noticed an unusual tag. A tag that I have never seen before from the beloved company. In green colors it said “Re-Imagined J.Crew”. I immediately knew what this meant– J.Crew was finally taking a sustainable approach. I went on their website to check out more of this new strategy. From 100% organically sourced to recycle material, they are producing fabrics that are better for the planet. By 2025 all of their products will be sustainable. Their wool will be machine washable. The cotton will be certified organic. The silks will have a safe dye. Other fabrics will come from responsible sources. This is a great step in the right direction and I am so proud of J.Crew to doing it! Here are a few items from their sustainable collection. I already have this white top, this other white top, this dress, this beach coverup, and this lightweight jacket. Oh and I have my eye on this white dress— on sale!

Happy Friday! Cue the Justin Timberlake memes because tomorrow it’s gonna be May. And not only is it the 1st of May, but it’s also the Kentucky Derby!! I am so excited for the race tomorrow but bummed I will not be at a party sipping mint juleps while wearing a wide brim hat. Next year perhaps! As of now I do not know who I am rooting for in the Run for the Roses. I do hear Essential Quality and Rock Your World are the crowd favorites. No matter who wins it will surely be an exciting few minutes. (more…)

Happy Friday! Did this week fly by for anyone else? I blinked and it was over. This is how I pretty much feel in general about April– that it has flown by fast. I guess I can’t complain, it is the weekend anyhow, and I am ready for some R&R. (more…)

Happy Friday! After a few rainy days I am looking forward to a weekend filled with sunshine. I really need to get out of the apartment and clear my head. One of the worst parts about the pandemic is we can’t hug, and I could really use a hug right now. I miss being in a room filled with friends and hugging them upon arrival. Or being around my family and getting a good bear hug from my parents. Or something much better, a hug from my nieces. (more…)
