It's no secret that I adore all things J.Crew, but when I think of the brand, I think amazing colour, super fabrics, great cuts, preppy, preppy, preppy - I don't usually think of the exotic. When I spied the new Fall '13 collection from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, my adoration went to a whole new level and since Valentine's is tomorrow, I just had to share the love. J.Crew's Head of Women's Design Tom Mora took an impromptu trip to Morocco at the end of last season and was clearly inspired - it's like Heathers goes to Marrakech. It's like a master class in how to mix and match colours/patterns/prints. It's like my wardrobe fantasy. I would actually be willing to skip summer just so I can wear look 1, look 7, look 30 (the black & white striped top, black coat, white pants) and that navy/cognac ensemble. And even though I've never really understood people who like purple, I think I finally get the appeal. Okay, I can't even look at these pics anymore - I literally just watched my wallet burrow itself right into the bottom of my handbag.
