Last year in Paris, I visited one of Isabel Marant's boutiques. I'm not gonna lie: I'm as smitten with her & her designs as the next gal. I wanted everything in the boutique, but walked away with nothing- at the time I decided it was too expensive (it still is). Erica's recent post had me again considering investing in one of her pieces: like the Fuso Vest (1st pic) or Peru Jacket ( 2nd image).
I thought I'd share some of my Marant-esque finds with you. J.Crew has a few pieces right now that are very Marant (you know Jenna Lyons and her design team are Marant fans).
J.Crew has a slouch pant that is styled very in a similar manner to Marant's relaxed paper-bag waisted styles this spring. They also have these knit pants that are a knock-off of Marant's. I also really like these linen cotton tees that appear to be modeled after Marant's tees.
The last photo is a Marant jumpsuit that I adore (love that crazy print)- but really don't know if I could pull off.
Sigh. I've got a major Marant crush, and I've got it bad. Silliness on a Monday...is there anyone you have a fashion crush on?

she IS fab and TOO expensive indeed.
I have a little summer dress/tunic thingy and that's about it... :)
I think it'd look great on you!
I have a fashion crush on Karen Walker. Just a crush until it's sale time...
Oh, I know, to die for! You have such great taste, thanks for your comments on my shopping woes, you rock :)
ditto on the marant love. i have those j.crew slouchy sweatpants in my wishlist. i wonder if they fit big though, there's slouchy and then there's sloppy.
that jumpsuit is the best!
I love that jumpsuit! Oh, you've given me a reason to check out J. Crew. I just remembered when J. Crew was the place to go for bleach-out style, ho-hum khaki pants, button ups. So very different now.
As for fashion crushes, I'll always harbor a thing for Jane Mayle.
Oh, sometimes Odessa in Portland has good Marant finds.
great! I love the trousers!
I'm afraid I'm often not courageous enough to buy such clothes... I often think they don't fit me...
you made me smile: it often happens to me that I enter a shop and I love everything in it, but at the end I leave without buying anything...
i love the marant knit pants! they somehow manage to eclipse the current 'sweatpants as clubwear' trend that i am seeing everywhere these days. PS my lifelong fashion crush is on dries van noten. SIGH
ooo, Karen Walker, Jane Mayle, and Dries are all very crush-worthy. You all have great taste!
