Even though Spring is just upon us, and Summer not far off, New York Magazine includes a first look of J. Crew's Fall 2011 collection, available in stores August through October. I'm still on the fence with loving J. Crew's clothes these last couple of years.... I miss the classic styles and basics that they built their reputation on. I like the handbags and totes from the Fall collection for their color & shape, but the clothing as a whole seems to lack structure, leaving little indication of the overall inspiration. Is it thrift store chic? Or Annie Hall meets downtown hispter? Not sure....
