The clothes were great, but here’s what I really found inspiring in the latest J.Crew catalog…
Fuchsia lipstick. More specifically, Funny Face by Nars, which the catalog actually pointed out. I may have to add another lipstick to my favorites.
Next, I ran across the perfect shade of pink (with a lot of lilac in it). When I was a kid, my two favorite Crayola colors were thistle and orchid, and I think that color preference has stuck with me. I’m also liking the font here.
And then there was this five-year-old boy’s haircut from the crewcuts section. I think it would look pretty great on a lady. A lady like me, perhaps?
I’m loving the lipstick shade & haircut, too!
great finds!
I’m not big on wearing lipstick… but I think the color is very nice for you.
I LOVE the haircut…
Isn’t it interesting how we get inspiration from the most random places?
Dang, that j.crew has style! I’m loving the haircut and certainly think a “certain lady” could rock something like this :)
I agree – it’s the inspiration and styling that I’ve been taking from Jcrew more than the items themselves – I love the recent direction the company has taken with Jenna Lyons at the helm. I even had a dream that she was asking my advice for the next season, but then I woke up and it was time to fed my baby breakfast, :) ha!
That’s much better than the dream I had last night… Al Gore doing a tame Chippendales type of routine, now available on video! Um, what?
that haircut would look great on you. are you going to go for it?
I don’t know. I’m sort of growing my hair out. I’m thinking maybe the front could be like that though? But then I wonder if I’m not just inventing some new type of mullet with that idea.
I was thinking the same thing about that lipcolor. I think I’m going to try it this weekend. That cut would be cute on you. You should do it.
i’d never thought about it in that way, but i have that 5 year old boys’ haircut. i love it and get lots’o'compliments **tooting of own horn in progress** you should go for it for sure! esp. with baby #2 on the way. it’s so easy to manage.
Easy to manage maybe, but I’m afraid I’d have to go in for more regular haircuts. Sometimes I stretch them out to four (or more) months between appointments.
the key is to go really short. i was hesitant when i first chopped it, so i left the front longer. now i take it to like 1″ at the shortest points so i can go at least 10 weeks…i could let it go longer but i usually have an event that i feel like sprucing up for. four months won’t happen.
You’re cracking me up with the inspiration from the boy’s haircut! And I do think it would look great on you. I wish such an easy style would work for me!
I have seen a couple other blogs that talked about that NARS lip color. It is going to be a popular one this season. I LOVE J.Crew…I just wrote about my favorite pants from there!
xo,

I think that might be the haircut I’ve been looking for!
ooo that hair cut with that lipstick (gotta girl it up a little)… a winning combo!
I had that same lipstick when I was a kid…although instead of a ‘neutral-hued look’ it was probably paired with blue eyeshadow & bright pink blush ;)
I am not an everyday lipstick girl but for special occasions I will don a dramatic red lip, Jungle Red by Nars. If it’s a fun, casual event my favorite bright pink is #207 by Makeup Forever. I am obsessed with makeup as you can see here!

I’d love to try a short hair cut like that! It would be great with the lipstick too.
Thistle and Orchid were both my favorites, too. I was so sad that they were discontinued! I recently found an old box of crayons in my parents’ basement, and saved those two for nostalgia’s sake.
No!! Are they both discontinued? I thought just one of them was.
I am in need of new lipstick. I must check that shade out.
Thistle is an awesome crayon color. :)
I LOVE the haircut – is it a little beibian??

Ha!
I’m currently rocking a slighty shorter version and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. 2 seconds to style it and I don’t need a blow dryer…saves on electricity :)
GO for IT!

I love that you are inspired by the details. The haircut is very gamine, love it wish I was brave enough to cut all my hair off.
LOL @ Esther – When I saw that haircut my first thought was Biebian as well! :-)
You can totally pull that haircut off.
Loving that lipstick!
Hee! At one time I thought so, too!

Loved it. So easy to shag my fingers through with a little water wax and run out. Between the red hair and short cut, I was in the salon all the time, though.
Yeah, I’ve had short hair before too. I remember it needed really frequent cuts to look good.
I think that haircut would be grrrrreat.
OK, I bought that lipstick today. Love it.
