Review: J. Crew Louisa Lady Jacket

The J. Crew Louisa Lady Jacket in Gingham Terry Tweed has a classic fit, so it's cut somewhat generously through the waist, giving the piece a boxier shape. In size 00 the jacket measures 14" across the shoulder, 17.5" from underarm to underarm, 18.5" in body length, with 21" sleeve lengths. The material, a cotton blend that's 54% recycled cotton/32% polyester/12% acrylic/2% other fibers and dry-clean only, is midweight (thus great for transitional weather) and hides wrinkles well.

Button-Down Sweater Dress

The button-down sweater dress is a transitional weather staple that I can't wait to re-style once temperatures rise. Button accents add sufficient visual interest to the basic sweater dress, and if you can find it in a ribbed material (providing stretch and creating a lengthening effect), that's even better. While I quite like the one that I am wearing here from The Drop--the price point is reasonable and the construction fair--the front buttons do not naturally lay-flat and instead want to crease and curl. Sizing up helps this problem, but doesn't entirely solve it. If you do order, definitely consider upsizing.

Review: Lululemon Strongfeel Training Shoe

The Strongfeel, with a streamlined silhouette defined by rounded contours and cutouts, is designed for strength training, it has a flat sole with low-profile cushioning and a higher back which stabilizes the heel and provides an anchored sensation. The upper is surprisingly lightweight but also hugs the feet securely, while the slightly curved outsole provides traction for plyometric exercises.
