It is that time of year again... the Crew's Holiday Party Time! {Although in my head, I am singing it to the tune of "Peanut Butter Jelly Time".}On a semi-related topic, just received my invitation to the NYC holiday party. First off, it's at the Fifth Avenue store this year instead of Madison Avenue Collection, presumably because the Fifth Avenue store was just renovated. Excited about this since the Fifth Avenue store is much closer to where I live and a bigger store means way more merchandise to choose from. Second, it seems Jenna won't be in attendance this year which I find strange (and frustrating because I left just before she arrived the last 3 years in a row!) Tom Mora and Frank Muytjens are hosting.This event will take place this evening (although I am not sure what time it starts).
It is so nice to hear from Tom Mora! I am also looking forward to seeing what he does for the Women's line.Tips for holiday dressing from J.Crew's Tom Mora
By Rachel Raczka
November 8, 2011
We rang up Tom Mora, J.Crew's new head of women's design, before he arrives in Boston tomorrow for an appearance at the Copley Place store to celebrate the brand's holiday collection. Mora grew up in New York ("Queens, but you don't have to say that," he joked. "Just kidding! I love Queens! It was so nice having a suburban upbringing") and went on to attend Parsons school of design and work for Ralph Lauren before joining J.Crew. He brings a stylish sensibility and everyday glamour to the brand, where he previously designed special occasion collections.
Being the dapper gentleman that he is, Mora offered up his top 5 tips for working color and sparkle into a season often dominated by the little black dress.
Put on the glitz: "I think there's a whole new feeling of getting dressed up and what that actually means now," said Mora, who promised lots of sequins and glitter in J.Crew's holiday looks. "You can wear a really slim turtleneck with a metallic jacquard or plaid pant, a great heel, and red lip and look fantastic."
Pair bold hues with an unexpected neutral this season: "An amazing orange or red mixed with a heather grey or a taupe can introduce that pop while still neutralizing a look."Go for the extreme: "I always think it's fantastic when someone is wearing a shocking pink top or a red bottom," said Mora. "It takes a lot more confidence but you can make a fantastic statement."
...Or play it safe: "If you feel like it's too much for you, try wearing a red pendant necklace or a clutch in a bright color," he added. But even baby steps are appreciated when trying a new trend. "Women are so much more sophisticated and experimental now. Rules, one by one, are getting chipped away."
Try the glittery ballet flats, but don't forget what mama said: "If a woman looks tailored and amazing and stands up straight, no one is even going to think twice about what she's wearing on her feet. Half the battle is the confidence a woman brings to an outfit."
Biggest faux pas of holiday dressing: "You know when you see actresses [at the Academy Awards] and you say, 'That doesn't look like her, she over-did it. I know you have 5 billion dollars of jewelry but you didn't have to wear it all.' Pull back a little bit and still be you," Mora advised.
"Don't go to the hair salon and have your hair done in a way that's not really you. Be who you are."Want more of Mora? Meet him in person at Copley Place tomorrow evening where you can enjoy cocktails, chit chat, and 15 percent off your purchase at J.Crew.

"Thanks!" to Tina Z (in this post) who shared some exciting news with us.J.Crew Fall/Holiday 2010 Insiders Fashion EventFirst, this event sounds a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Just meeting all those members of the design team is great. The additional gifts are fantastic! Second, it's weird to see a cost of $25 to attend. However, I totally think it is worth it. Just the $25 card gift card alone makes it even-stevens for me. Third, I do not have an American Express card, but now I want to get one.

Enjoy a savory fall menu of festive cocktails and delicious hors d'oeuvres to the sounds of a live DJ. All attendees will receive a $25 gift card upon arrival, a 15% discount applied to all* purchases that evening, a gift for purchases over $150, an exclusive gift bag with an item selected by the design team and a VIP card for 20% off your next online purchase.

There is an interesting article over at the Wall Street Journal (click here) about a recent event at J.Crew's Mens Shop in SoHo (NYC). [Incidentally, the image below with Jenna Lyons comes from this article).]
Harvey Weinstein Celebrates Crazy Joe Gallo, Michelle Obama, J.Crew
It was Weinstein though, who turned out to be the rebel Monday night. The event began at 6:30 and organizers didn’t want to start the reading until he arrived. After roughly 90 minutes and no sign, the show went on without him. The author and the actors looked dapper in their tailored J.Crew suits, sport coats and ties. Mr. Folsom chose a sleek, sheeny charcoal number that he said reminded him of the kind of sharkskin suit that the natty Joe Gallo might have worn. When Weinstein finally arrived unannounced, he didn’t follow the script.
