J.Crew December 2012 Catalog inspiration

Who here gets giddy when they receive the J.Crew catalog in the mail? I do! My two favorite catalogs in the world are Anthropologie and J. Crew. I have saved many of their catalog clippings for over a decade it seams as my fashion inspiration. I'm glad I now have this blog to share the images I love (instead of piles of faded pages in flimsy folders, cluttering up my space, and a nightmare to rid of when moving). In the new colorful J.Crew December 2012 catalog, I actually gravitated towards the "neutral" palette. It reminded me how much I love wearing cream, dusty grey, and camel in the winter. Too bad I don't live in the cold Midwest anymore, otherwise I would be shopping for shearling, Irish fisherman sweaters, cozy cable-knits, and camel suedette pants!

And here are the pages from J.Crew December 2012 catalog that is the source of my inspiration today: 
The "Gifts for Him" inside the front-flap cover was what initially got me buzzing.
  Why do guys always get the best timeless pieces? This is why we love menswear!

Late Bastille Day

I missed out on a red, white, and blue 4th of July post, so I'm compensating here for Bastille Day!
Paris, Rue de Parme on Bastille Day by Pierre Bonnard
(notice the little girl in the painting with the dotted coat, so very now!)

I don't know anything really about France, except I love French paintings from the past, and of course their fashion history. Remind me too look up more information on Pierre Bonnard!  I was so drawn to his paintings displayed in the Washington D.C. Smithsonian art museum.
