One of my best friends here in L.A. is from Paris. We immediately bonded over a vintage piece she was wearing at a party, and as they say, the rest is history. While we share many other interests and passions (including two energetic little boys who are the same age), we simply love to talk about fashion. With just one look inside our closets, you’ll see our shared love for many styles and brands. J.Crew is one of them. We both lean toward an effortlessly chic, preppy vibe, which is why J.Crew‘s offerings are a big hit in our wardrobes.

With spring just around the corner, I sat down with her—J.Crew app in hand—and we both shared our favorite pieces we’re eyeing for the new season. In the mix are J.Crew’s freshest spring styles, including effortless knits, chic flats, and vintage-looking jeans that lean into her Parisian-chic vibe.
