I'm really excited that New York-based fashion brand J. Crew's UK site opens at the end of the month, and just a bit gutted I won't be able to get any purchases in before I go on holiday!

J. Crew is headed up by the talented Jenna Lyons. You may have already seen her stunning Brooklyn home - I'd seen the odd room shot here and there, but it was in the September issue of Vogue that I got to see it in all its glory and discover more about Jenna's cool and creative style. I love the stylish simplicity, thoughtful details (a red house number set into the door steps) and general feel of casual elegance. And that bathroom? Well, just wow.
