If you’re not already watching “J. Crew and the Man Who Dressed America” on CNBC, what are you waiting for!?

Like I said, I’m super-psyched to see what Creatures of the Wind has in store for J. Crew. I think the CFDA is a magical, virtual-fashion-hug-giving organization led by the queen of the world. Diane, please be my fairy godmother.

A sneak peek at what will be in stores in May: lace, intricate embroidery and updated accessories!
The club is kickin’ it up a notch! I always used to think of them like I thought of J. Crew growing up: matchy-matchy separates for 90s soccer moms who were on the brink of slipping into the mom jeans phase.
Now, just like J. Crew has proven my preconceived notions wrong, Club Monaco is doing the same thing. CM has seriously started to make an impact with beautiful ad campaigns and a burgeoning presence on social media. Watch out!

So what does a day in the office look like for Jenna Lyons? “Never the same. Cramped. Crazy. Between the different things that I get to touch, whether it’s store design or store windows or the catalogue or the web or clothing design and Crewcuts and Madewell, I get to meet about a lot of different things,” she said. “I met with Mark this morning about locations for Fall catalogues; I met with Alice from Madewell about casting for Spring; we’re rigging the presentation for Holiday right now; I’m looking at marketing campaigns for Summer; and we’re talking about a brand book for international. There’s so many different things happening.”

Sometimes we go to sorority parties and pretend like we’re part of them.
It’s a thing.
These girls are kind of adorable. Spreading the Madewell love!

JCrew | 770 Behind The Line: Eye-openers →
this week’s roundup of delightful discoveries
Elissa, our online photo editor:
“I’m currently obsessed with Buenos Aires–based artist Jazmin Berakha. She captures beautiful suspended moments in her embroidery—I especially love how the intricacy is contrasted by simplified outlines of women.”
Jo, VP of Marketing Creative:
“These riotously colorful and spontaneous film stills from Michelangelo Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point take a fleeting moment and freeze it in a beautiful image. I’m a sucker for anything confetti related!”
Inspiration found here.
Alison, one of our web designers:
“T-shirt designer and artist Jess Rotter’s color combinations are always spot-on. Combine that with wit and an occasional nod to the ’70s (Stevie Nicks tee, anyone?) and you’ve got an unstoppable shirt that friends will ask to borrow and never return.”
Inspiration found here.
Catherine, one of our web designers:
“I want to live in the world of artist Nina Bovasso. Marimekko-esque flowers meet a pack of Snoopy dogs with a dash of Care Bears sky blue is just what I want to see and wear (within reason) this spring.”
Inspiration found here.
