When J.McLaughlin asked me to do a lifestyle post that would include a few beautiful pieces from their holiday line….well of course I said yes! I’ve always known about J.McLaughlin because they have a shop in my own town of New Canaan, Connecticut. They originally started in New York on the Upper East Side back in 1977. They have grown to over 100 stores and each has its own character which is often seen in the delightful sketches of my dear friend Patrica van Essche. I was invited to visit the beautiful Greenwich store. The Greenwich store is large and besides stocking almost every item that is also available on their website, the shop is stunning. Even the dressing rooms are beautiful with nice lighting and space that makes you feel as though you are in the comfort of your own home….except there’s someone right outside helping you with sizes and styles. I chose clothing with a holiday brunch at home in mind. My husband and I love to plan get togethers and part of the planning always includes a trip to the Union Square Green Market.
I’m wearing the Langley Vest and the Savannah Shirt in plaid. The shirt is tailored beautifully with a fitted shape so it’s flattering on its own or under a vest or sweater. I’ve worn it so many times. It barely even needs ironing. (In fact I usually wash it and hang it to dry and wear it the next day). The vest is comfortable and I love the pockets, especially at the market. I wear it on its own or under a sweater or coat for an extra layer.
I’m greeting my guests wearing the Ryann Cardigan Sweater in Camel. It’s the perfect combination of a structured piece, but still soft and comfortable. Under the cardigan I’m wearing the perfect white blouse. I love a white blouse and the Briar Shirt in Swiss Dot has enough detail to wear with a sweater or on its own. The Becca Leggings have become my go to pant for everyday and are perfect for travel.
