retailer I love… J.Crew Factory!

You ladies know already that I have a pretty strong love for J.Crew Factory.  We've talked about the pros and cons of the brand before on the blog (see here for the most in-depth review and read the comments too if you are curious about how others feel about this brand) but for me the pros have always outweighed the cons.  Especially lately.  I recently went to a store (whereas I usually shop online) and was thrilled with the quality and beauty of the pieces in person.  One of the cons of the J.Crew Factory line is that their online store doesn't do the best of showcasing the pieces to their full extent.  I will make a blanket statement though and say that 99.99% of the items I have gotten from J.Crew Factory are BETTER in person than they look online.

Speaking of shopping online, everything is 30% off today at J.Crew Factory (ending tonight, so hurry!) which is a great deal in my book! Here are some of my top picks for summer… because while the warm weather has been around for a while, there is still plenty of summer shopping to be done! (who's with me!?!?)
