The real secret to style is in the details. Once you've embraced it, it's impossible not to address it in every aspect of your life. With this in mind, I was flipping through the new J Crew catalog today. As I've expressed before, I'm a big, big, big fan of Jenna Lyons, their Creative Director. Under her direction, J Crew has really become a staple in many people's wardrobes, including mine. For a few years in the recent past, I regularly visited the store for clients because it was such a good building block for wardrobe updates. But now, I find myself choosing things for clients and throwing in a piece or two for me, too! So I was loving a lot of what I was seeing in the catalog (especially this jacket)
and set it down to start making dinner when, there it was- the back side picture. It is of this amazing luggage called the Abingdon Collection. Waxed cotton canvas in khaki with leather and cotton handles and strap give it a relaxed, well-worn feel. I think it totally exemplifies that chic-without-trying look that can be so hard to achieve. And that is what I mean- when you're willing to care about even the luggage you are carrying, you may be obsessed. But, in my opinion, this is one obsession that is worth having!
