"Thanks!" to many of you, including Ketan, who shared the following email from Madewell this morning.The email features Madewell's favorite it-girl and fashion collaborator, Alexa Chung. In a new segment called "Tried & True" (click here to check out), Alexa explains how to wear Madewell's five most iconic pieces.
- Perfect Chambray Shirt (Item 25240; $68.00)
Alexa says... "This shirt is incredibly soft and comfy. I like to wear it on days when I can't be bothered to think about what I've got on but still want to look nice." - Striped Tribute Tee (Item 38540; $38.00)
Alexa says... "A striped tee is a wardrobe staple and this pale pink guy is a twist on a classic." - Skinny Skinny Jeans (Item 39284; $95.00)
Alexa says... "Skinny jeans, they're so easy to team with anything. I usually wear an oversized band tee with mine." - Denim Midi Shorts (Item 39262; $59.00)
Alexa says... "Jean shorts are practical but also make an outfit a little more unexpected." - Safari Shirt-Jacket (Item 38120; $128.00)
Alexa says... "Military clothing just looks cool and this take on an army jacket is great for a relaxed tomboyish layer."
Similar to other JCAs experiences, I have been noticing Madewell more and more in the past 12 months. They have really stepped up with their collection, in terms of styles and prices. I am a fan!In particular, I am crushing on the jacket she is wearing with her Iconic Pick #4 of denim shorts. She picked the wrong iconic piece! ;)
Don't forget! They are offering free shipping (on $100+) with promo code GOFORIT.
Will you be checking out Madewell? Are there any items you are interested in getting? If so, please share. :)
Where can I get the jacket in that bottom pic? I don't see it at Madewell. Hmm
ReplyDeleteI know Wolfy! I searched for that jacket in the new arrivals, regular, and sale sections and could not find it. It's so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I've been able to find was the horse pin is a Flea market find. The jacket too? What a tease.
ReplyDeleteIt would be pretty funny if Alexa is wearing a different brand's jacket. ;)
ReplyDeleteJ.Crew's Marissa Webb did that in an email (wearing a Joseph's Navy Emmanuelle Double Breasted Jacket while trying to promote J.Crew's Lambskin Motocross Jacket.) Total tease indeed!
Here is more on the outfit:

Is Alexa just a stylist, b/c she mentions that the blazer is her own; whatever that means.
ah, this is a preview for the next fall collection. She mixed some spring items in her lookbook.

But I found a somewhat similar blazer from last fall.

Thanks Wolfy for letting me know about that jacket! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been checking out Madewell too. They have the bensimon sneakers I've been after!
ReplyDeleteMadewell has asked Alexa Chung to do another collection for them. It is scheduled to debut this fall.
ReplyDeleteDaniBP, Gravity Pope has bensimmon at comparable prices without the added import duty.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for my 25% off sale Madewell order to arrive but if it is anything like the rest of the items I've bought there I'm sure I will be pleased. I am checking them out at least weekly. Can't wait to visit when I go on my U.S. business trip in April.
