Jennifer and I went to J.Crew on Thursday, September 8, 2011 to look at what's in the stores now.  We went to their store located in Rockefeller Center (30 Rockefeller Center NY 10112).  This is what we found are the trends for womens.

This visual display is right in the middle of the selling floor.  The left and right mannequins are wearing the same floral pattern but in different silhouettes. The left mannequins are dressed in the floral skirt while the right mannequins have that same pattern in a dress.

As you can see, this mannequin is also wearing an orange top with the same pattern as the above picture but in pants!

Here are three must have Accessories:

1. Rigby Saddle Bag
*Key Item*

 This  leather saddle is absolutely to die for! The gold clasp were inspired by a suitcase lock. The exterior has a back- wall zip pocket while the interior also has a back- wall patch pocket made with cotton twill lining.  Also, there is adjustable shoulder straps! When I was looking at the price tag, I found another tag that basically told customers that this color may come off on your clothes.  Oh no! The retail price is $148.

Here is more information about why J.Crew decided to create this saddle. J.Crew Blog

2. Pattern iPhone 4G Cover

In the store there were the two designs for the iPhone case. When Jennifer and I were walking around the store we actually saw lots of customers having the leopard case in there hands to purchase! The cover is a stretchy pull-on cover. Retail Price is $22.50.

3. Wool Fedora

I loved this wool fedora so much that I purchased it! The amount of detail on this fedora is just perfect with a grosgrain ribbon trim with just the right size bow. Retail Price $49.50
