Fringed MacAlister boots

Just when we thought it couldn't get better: our famed MacAlister boot, now with fringe—and like the original, these are made from the finest Italian suede. Our original MacAlister is inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in WWII. Unlined for a more casual feel. Hit at ankle. Crepe sole. Made in Italy.

Julienne suede heels

We gave the strappy heel a modern tilt: wide, overlapping suede straps (for added support and style), our new high cone heel (don't worry, the interior platform makes walking easy) and a luxe gold side buckle—perfect for adding an instant flash of fashion to any outfit (and we do mean any outfit). Italian suede upper. Leather lining. 3 1/4" self-covered heel with a 1/2" interior platform for extra comfort. Man-made sole. Made in Italy. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

Petite grosgrain gather top

Easy to wear and ultra-flattering, this is one of those seasonless pieces that's always in style. Made of our new washed silk crepe de chine, it mixes the classic sporty-chic styling of a henley with dainty, feminine touches (grosgrain accents at the neck and placket, gathering at the front and dainty pleats at the shoulder and back).

Petite cord pencil skirt

Pencil this in: our classic leg-lengthening silhouette in perennially chic corduroy, updated with vertical front seams, a thinner waistband and a hint of stretch for an even slimmer, more flattering fit.

Back vents. 19 1/2" long. Import. Machine wash. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

Zip-side foil sweatshirt

Your favorite sweatshirt—slim fitting in french terry cotton (we love this fabric) with old-school raglan detailing. It's been dressed up with a cool-girl side zipper and a foil-printed front, so it's not just for lounging around the house but for wearing out (with jeans and statement heels, we say). Crewneck. Long sleeves. Import. Machine wash.

Lace ruffle tank

An everyday scoopneck tank dressed up with cascading strips of raw-edge silk chiffon and lace (our latest obsession). Spun from our supersoft and textured vintage cotton. Import. Machine wash.

Linen-silk cargo pant

Equally chic with heels and flip-flops, our cropped ripstop cargo (a design darling that no girl in our office is without) has been updated in a sexy, slouchy linen/silk blend—we washed the drapey fabric to give it a superb handfeel. Belt loops. Zip fly. Slant pockets, back patch pockets with flaps, patch cargo pockets. Import. Machine wash.
City fit—our lowest rise.
Sits just above hip.
Fitted through hip and thigh, with a straight, cropped leg.
26" inseam, but we like it rolled to 24".

Petite Adriana silk rows tank

Our office is buzzing over this update to the classic tank. Our designers hand draped rows of raw-cut silk on the bodice to create a beautiful back-and-forth detail. The silhouette is slouchy but slim, with a slight empire cut. Silk. Import. Dry clean. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

Cord Atlee skirt

Our pouf skirt in forever-cool cord. It's an everyday piece that's anything but basic, thanks to shirring at the waist and slant pockets in front. This is the piece you'll reach for again and again all season long—because it's that flattering and versatile. Cotton/elasteral. Full skirt shape. Sits at waist. Side zip. 16 1/2" long. Import. Machine wash.
