DEAR J.CREW, I LOVE YOU.

I first heard (or rather read) of  J.Crew in a book seven summers ago. Borrowing it from the library countless times, I would pour over the pages that were lined with images of Michelle Obama. Of all people! "She's relatable, she's not different from you or me. After all, she wears J.Crew!"or so the book tried to convince me.

Though it wasn't successful in convincing me of Michelle's relatability, it did introduce me to J.Crew.

And oh, do I love J.Crew.

SIX SUMMER PIECES WE ALL PROBABLY NEED:

1. THE DRESS FOR BRUNCH ON THE BEACH

You don't even have to ask for extra whipped cream on your french toast - this dress demands it.

2. FARMERS MARKET WORTHY SHORTS

The only outfit you should be wearing when stocking up on freshly baked bread, essential oils and dreamcatchers.

3. THE ROAD TRIP PANT OF YOUR DREAMS

You may have been belting Madonna and eating cool ranch doritos for the past 8 hours, but your outfit says otherwise.

4. THE "YOURE BASICALLY A MOVIE STAR" TOP

Accessorize with a box of twizzlers and a bag of buttery popcorn
