clothes vs. styling

j crew really seems to be on top of the game lately. they definitely have captured the hearts of a really big group of people with their most recent collections. there's no doubt that they provide a quality product, but i'm wondering if my recent obsession with them is because of the styling in their promos, or because of the actual garments.

no DOUBT i would probably kill some people for the floor length sequin skirt, but i'm curious... how much of this would i actually want to pick up and buy if i saw it hanging on a rack? how much of this is really as innovative as the kick-ass styling makes it all seem?

judge for yourself

mind blowing

everyone pretty much likes j crew. it's a store that has a lot of quality clothes and they always last and look very nice. but when i saw their fall 2010 lookbook, i died a little on the inside. it's so unbearably amazing! "edie beale meets the girl scouts" is how the creative director explains their inspiration for the season. well, i love it.
