J.Crew Meets Liberty of London.




Have you heard the news? J. Crew and Liberty of London have teamed up and created one of the most cute, stylish, and cheerful collections that you will ever see. Liberty is a world renowned department store right in the heart of central London. It is known for its colorful floral and paisley prints that adorn everything from scarves to shirts to pillows to shower caps. 
When you see the clothing and accessories of this collection its pretty obvious these two companies are a match made in fashion heaven. The preppy chicness of J. Crew and the famous floral prints of Liberty come together and create clothing that is the epitome of a perfect spring wardrobe. So kiss the winter blues goodbye and know that spring will be eternal as long as these cheery outfits are around.
Hello Spring!!


In love with this look!

Fancy Feet.
Blazers, trousers, shorts, and blouses all don the icon florals but it was the accessories of the collection that really caught my attention.  Let’s start with the shoes shall we? You want flats? They’ve got them, lots of them. From typical spring colors such as yellow, pink, turquoise, purple and blue to a more tropical feel with vibrant reds, oranges, and greens. These will be the statement piece of any outfit you decide to wear this spring or summer.  There is also a more subdued looking pair for those with a classic taste. They are blue with tiny little white flowers with a cap toe and will certainly be able to be worn for years to come. Flats are always a warm weather must. They add a chic feel while still being comfortable enough to run around in.
 The heels of the collection are perfect for a date night, girls night out, or just whenever you want to feel pretty. Magenta and pink blooms adorn the pointed toe pumps to give them an English garden party feel. And honestly, what girl doesn’t want pink flowered shoes?

Let’s hear it for the boys.
The man in your life can get in on this epic collaboration if he so chooses. Ties and bow ties are adorned in the fun colored prints as well. With ties like these though, its probably best to stick to a basic neutral colored top to avoid looking like a circus performer or crazy long lost uncle (we ALL have one of those).  Then again I have seen a girl or two totally pull off a tie with skinny jeans and a blazer. These ties add a perfect little pop of color to any outfit, no matter who is sporting them.


Everything in between.
Have enough shoes and ties in your closet to last until the end of the world but still want to get in on the flower power? Allow me to introduce you to the belts and scarves. Belt a sun dress and throw on one of these eye catching scarves to complete the sunny-go lucky-look! Xoxo, Audrey Anna
