hello again

My last post was written on February 10, 2012.  By February 22^nd I was no longer an innocent bystander in the world of J. Crew; I was officially employed by the company.  Unfortunately, one of their rules states that you can’t blog about the company while employed there (oddly specific, right?), so I had to put the blog on hold indefinitely.

The fact that I'm back means that I'm no longer working at J. Crew.  Unfortunately, as a college senior, I needed to focus on my internship, finishing school, and starting a career.  Working part-time just didn't fit into my schedule any more.  However, I loved working at J. Crew, and hopefully someday, I will be able to rejoin the company.  My dream of designing for the catalog is still alive and well.  (Not to mention how much I loved their employee discount!)  

I learned so much about what makes the company tick, stuff that only an insider would truly understand.  I respect the company and where they’re going, which is an impressive achievement for any employer.  I am so grateful that I was able to leave on good terms.

Looking back at my last posts and forward to the ones I am planning, it is amazing how much has changed in just a few short months.  There are so many great things going on at J. Crew, and we’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

bright, bold, and beautiful

It’s February.  The dull winter sun bleakly shines down on the brown grass poking through the brown snow.  Students are getting back to work on their second semester, and a surprising amount of people are procrastinating on taking down their Christmas decorations, as if they are clinging to the last piece of hope and cheer that the Christmas season brings.  You people look like you could use a pick-me-up.  And J. Crew has just the thing for you.

This spring bright hues and popping colors are in.  Way in.  They’re just what you need to brighten your day and your wardrobe.

Bold swimsuits in a variety of patterns and styles remind you that there is only a month or two until Spring Break.  You can make it that long!

And best yet?  They’re introducing a new pair of sandals.

Better get ready.  Summer’s gonna be here before you know it!
