Trina Turk for Banana Republic {in the sale section}

I posted on the Trina Turk for Banana Republic collaboration when I first noticed it, and the Swirl Cowl Neck Knit dress was one of the items I was considering. I wasn't able to check it out in-store and was hesitant to order without trying... so I was really delighted to find one on a sale rack recently. I tried it on and liked it even better than on the rack, so bought it and wore it Sunday, like this:

I've stopped by three Atlanta-area BRs recently and found a few - to quite a few - TT items at each of them... the clutch in both colors and the scarves, as well as a some dresses, including the Picses Strapless Dress and Swirl Tunic Dress, all marked down in the sale section.

What do you think about this collaboration? I'd love to hear what people chose or if you'll shop it now that it's on sale.

Happy Tuesday!

J Crew Extra 40 July 2012

Seville Printed Wedge Espadrille in Chocolate, Soludos for J Crew Classic Espadrille in Navy White Stripe, Linen Cable Knit Cardigan in Brilliant Purple

We are still on the East Coast, but have reached Georgia and my parents' house so I've found a little time for J Crew shopping.

I've loaded a vacation's-worth of pictures on my iPad but it is still so much easier for me to work with my own computer at home. So I'm going to wait to do picture sifting and most vacation posting until we return at the end of the month. We've had wonderful experiences and fun in NYC and DC, and Manassas, Culpeper, Roanoke, and Asheville. Fun, learning, sore feet, and expanding waistlines (probably just mine... Great NYC restaurants followed by things like fried pickles and white cheddar pimento cheese in a jar with house made pretzel chips? Can't say no.)

Anyway, I made a quick stop in a J Crew yesterday (and Gap Kids - extra 40 off there too) and found some shoes. Shoes. Why do I end up with the heaviest things to tote back... and haven't even been to LK Bennett yet...)

For sizing on these... I usually wear an 8 1/2 or a 39.  In the Soludos flat stripe espadrilles I took my expected 39 but in the wedge I sized down to an 8.  I tried on a 9 and it was way too big.




Happy Wednesday!
