July 16, 2014 By: Nada Manleycomment

Who doesn’t love the artful layering and unstudied elegance of J. Crew. It’s irresistible. Fortunately, the styling secrets of the J. Crew catalog are relatively easy to master. Here, 3 pointers for pulling off the signature look:

1. Bold Lips: A bold lip on an otherwise bare-ish face is a trademark of the brand’s style. So is shiny, slightly undone hair.

Crew styling secrets here. http://www.babble.com/babble-voices/tips-from-a-j-crew-personal-stylist/
