MadeSOwell

Lovely things about my internship:
a) I shared an elevator with Anna Wintour this morning.
b) She scares me.
c) I'm so happy I ditched dentistry in favor of magazine editing.

Madewell has recently debuted an online store that offers a fresh twist on J. Crew style at prettier prices. In particular, ruffles boosted simple vests and dresses, giving them a more stylish and upscale edge. They also update J. Crew staples and put a youthful spin on classics. My two favorite picks?



Both available at Madewell online, these pieces keep ruffles from looking too girlish by letting them act as details instead of the main event. Both beg to be belted - the first with a skinny belt and the second with a thick, masculine belt to up the androgyny factor. Even better, they're affordable for the subtle touches that they lend to any outfit ($62 and $88, respectively). Thus begins my torrid love affair with Madewell.

Anna Wintour? How cool are you? :) What publication are you working with?

How tall is she? I bet she's fairly small. (Totally random question there!_

Years ago, in NYC/Bloomingdales, I shared an elevator BOTH ways with AW, alone! Was terrified, and unfortunately dressed AWFUL, not that it mattered, she never glanced my way, but, with sunglasses intact, stared straight ahead...full on city style!
