The unsung looks from the Met Ball 2012

It has literally taken me this long to find a picture of Jenna Lyons at the Met Ball. She is one of the most stylish people in the world and I knew she wouldn't just go for a gown. I absolutely loved her take on evening wear – a hot pink satin skirt paired with a crisp smart white shirt finished with a cropped denim jacket and pale pink suede shoes. Such an innovative take on eveningwear!!
Another of my favourites was newcomer Lena Dunham – writer, producer, director and actress in the new HBO series "Girls". She wore a custom Wes Gordon dress in green. I love the choice of pink stilettos that made the look really fun. Bet Lena's best accessory was her date: Hamish Bowles who also looked amazing in a Dolce & Gabbana pink blazer.
I felt a bit bad for Lana del Rey. She wore a stunning silver number from Altuzarra paired with a black cape. I feel like Gwyneth's look from the Oscars really hindered Lana's fashion experience at the Met Ball. Even though this was a totally different and beautiful look it was hard not to remember G in the amazing white Tom Ford...

J. Crew FW12: Jenna Lyons as her own Muse

I am absolutely in love with the latest J. Crew collection that was shown in New York a couple of days ago. It's incredible how Jenna Lyons continues to push the envelope at the high-street giant. The printed cropped tailored trousers are my favourite pieces. I love how they look with a cozy cashmere jumper and a pair of bright stilettos. All of which seem to have been inspired by Lyons' own style. It's impossible not to see similarities between what she has been wearing to the shows in NYC and the FW12 J. Crew line. Even the model casting and styling seems to have been inspired by her looks – i.e. geeky glass frames, statement shoes.
I absolutely die for Jenna Lyons' personal style. There seems to be a new generation of creative directors that are incredibly good at their job and whose personal style lives up to their collections' standards. Just like the Olsens or Victoria Beckham, Lyons experiments with her personal wardrobe and continues to buy other designers collections – Proenza Schouler, Céline, Altuzarra – despite her allegiance to J. Crew. She's got a super unique aesthetic that marries classic American sportswear with the more refined and fashion-forward cuts and trends of the Parisian catwalks. A marriage that reflects on her work season after season.

Are you a J. crew fan?

Yes, I am throughly enjoying all of Vogue's CFDA Fund videos. I love how they're put together and it's so nice to see how all the nominees seem to be really working so hard for it even though most of them are already what you'd call established designers.

I already posted about my favourite random bit from the last video, Episode 3, with Altuzarra's puppy dressed in his latest winter collection.

Now I am obsessed with this look by Jenna Lyons, creative director of J. Crew, from Episode 4. A couple of months ago I posted about how much I loved her style on my Harper's Bazaar España blog. It's just amazing how she combines classics in such an interesting way. I love the fact that she wears a lot of J. Crew but admits that she 'loves fashion too much to only wear J. Crew'.

Her latest hit is this super cute outfit of mostly J. Crew basics –skinny black jeans, blue oxford shirt and sleeveless denim jacket– mixed up with a camel Comme des Garçons Play cardigan.
