Fashion Treats

Many stores discretly downsize their clothing quality due to the high cost of production during the recession.  However, J Crew hasn't failed to disappoint me with creating chic design with durability.  The following pieces are from J Crew, one of my fave stores. Love the comfort & quality of each item.    
Rimini cardigan: "A tough-chic twist on the cardigan, the motorcycle jacket-inspired asymmetrical double zipper and side ruching" is crazily irresistible.  Original: $98.  Paid $35. 
Soft & lightweight.  The small beads add a hint of a glam to a simple design.  Original $40.  Got it for $11.
Traverse cardigan: "Dual rows of luxe ruffles are perfectly placed across the placket of this cardigan in a flattering crisscross design."   Original $88.  My price: $22.
Dulphine bling-button cardigan: ultra thin but insanely warm.  Original $69.  Paid $35.

 Love the exquisite gathered silk chiffon and beads on the ruffle cardigan. Original $118.  Paid $35.  
Montreaux cardigan: "The classic pocket cardigan gets a touch of edgy glamour with a double-end locked zipper."  Original $88.  Got it for $35.
The crystallized silk bracelet is anything but plain.  Original $40.  Got it for $14. 

What I'm Watching: "Secret Garden"

It's no secret that I'm secretly falling for Hyun Bin in "Secret Garden" (SG).  Love him in "My Name is Samsoon" as well as SG, which unconventionally portrays the love story as the Little Mermaid instead of Cinderella.  I'm eggcited to watch new episodes!!  Sadly "Secret Garden" will be Hyun Bin's last TV drama prior to serving the military in March 2011.  I give him my early best farewell!!
