If you saw my Tweet yesterday, you already know about this! I’m pretty excited, though I would venture to guess that there’ll be long, long lines outside the store for the next little while since it’ll be the only J.Crew in Canada for the time being. I also hope that the selection is good and […]

It’s always sad to hear fashion designers closing down, and Nada Shepherd’s NADA is no exception.
