Hi Everyone!
This has been an amazing week for me. Today is my 39th birthday! And, this past Wednesday, I attended the J. Crew NYFW presentation. Jenna Lyons personally invited me to the show. And, let me tell you, I am still shaking with excitement. As you know, I LOVE J. Crew and Jenna Lyons. This invitation/trip totally made my year!
This was a dream come true for me. I started my blog, jcrewismyfavstore, years ago because I LOVE J. Crew and because I wanted to see size 12/14 women like me representing the brand I love. I am still on cloud nine. Every single person on the J. Crew team treated me like a rock star. It was an amazing experience that could not have happened at a better time in my life. This past Tuesday, the day that I went to NYC, marked one year since I had to say “see you later” to my amazing Mom. The trip was right on time for me. And, I could feel my Mom cheering me on, as always.
Here are a few pictures from the presentation:
The first two pictures are two of my faves. I met my shero!:
Jenna is absolutely amazing!!!!
And, here are a few images from the presentation. I am super excited for Spring!:
I will post more images from the presentation this week. I love all of these looks!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday and congratulations to you, Rynetta! I love that you started your blog because I think it's fantastic to see real people in the J Crew clothing. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself! Hopefully this is just the beginning of future visits to J Crew Fashion Week! (I'd like to see Gigi go too! and wouldn't it be fun for the two of you to meet in real life!)
Vava – I will *definitely* be meeting Rynetta in-person next year.
I can vouch that Rynetta is one of the loveliest, most beautiful and huggable people ever. I can't wait for you two to meet βΊοΈ
