After seeing the latest images for J. Crew‘s Fall 2011 collection I had to ask myself…”Have I been living under a fashion rock or did the brand really step up their style game for their latest collection?” And in all honesty, I think the latter is the answer. I couldn’t help but oooh and awe as I browsed through the outfits, which mixed hip masculiinity with a very chic and feminie touch for women. Given that I’m way more into nuetrals, I became slightly obsessed with the way the collection paired classic (and wearable) pieces such as deep pleated trousers and sweaters and�trench coats�with jewel colored and monochromatic looks (such as the one above in all orange).

What I love most about the collection is that everything looks wearable and�transitional, meaning that I can rock the pieces to my office or out on the town…As much as I love summer and am excited for shorts and tank-tops and bare feet, J.Crew has totally got me lusting for Fall.
