And look, eventhough she is on the beach her hair is perfectly groomed, which is SOOO unlike the recent catalogs. Thanks for the look Alexis.

There is something about this cover- everyone is smiling and having a good time. Like many of you already mentioned, the woman looks fantastic! Even though she is gorgeous, she comes across real.

I just picked up this dress at a flee market a few weeks back and I've been dying to know what year it was from since it didn't have that information on the tags. I didn't realize it was that old. The dress is in amazing condition and very well made (in Hong Kong). Wow J. Crew, maybe you should take some inspiration from these flashbacks.D*skahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231271723410897584noreply@blogger.com
