J.Crew hit solid gold when they hired Jenna Lyons as its executive creative director. Since Jenna's arrival, J.Crew's collections improved considerably from preppy gear into a well-rounded collection that women and men, both young and old, can't get enough of. Starting September 13, Jenna will step into the role of president of J.Crew, a huge step in the right direction. As July winds down with earthquakes, rain and scorching heat, I am finding a little solace in the Fall lookbooks from some of my favorite stores, including J.Crew, whose Autumn 2010 collection is making me wish for cool temps ASAP. Covering up is a cinch with textured tights, faux furs, rugged motorcycle boots, lace-up booties, cropped pants, wool blazers and cozy knits.
