madewell.

did YOU know j.crew has a little sister company?

like banana republic's gap.

{or gap's old navy... but that would just do them a horrible disservice.}

it's called madewell

and i'm feeling a little like a chump for not having known this until now.

a die hard j.crew fan since i was 15...

and i had no idea.

maybe that's because they only have like 6 stores

and 5 of them are on the east coast.

but, this just in...

they've got online shopping!

hip

hip

hooray

can't wait to get my hands on this very dot-a-licious cardi

or this striped hoodie

i fear the love affair with horizontal stripes has made its way back into my life

stacey and clinton would have something to say about this.

they've got a great denim shop, too.
