I was invited to attend a private event at my local J.Crew store for a menswear event. The grand marshals, or event main attractions were the Jenna Lyons and the head of Menswear design Frank Muytjens. WOW!! I went to the event with Alaina, Danielle and met up with Sarah too! After spotting her across the store, literally! We made our way over, waited patiently in line (behind the cutest little girl decked out the best little crewcuts' outfit, who brought her latest catalog for an autograph!!! Man, smart little chick-a-dee, souvenir!) for a chance to speak to her!
Jenna Lyons (not sure I can refer to her as 'her' or she, so she is full name here on out!LOL Star struck yes!) is just as polite, friendly and down to earth as you hope your icon to be! Jenna graciously took time to engage and talk to each and every person who waited in line to talk or take a photo with her! I wanted to fold myself up and hide in her pocket! She was beyond amazing!!! Through our candid conversation I learned Jenna is a fellow curly haired California girl. Ffate, right!?!? She mentioned she obviously battles with it as much as i do, since we both were wearing it straight!
She asked how survival of the first winters here were, we discussed how hats and gloves aren't just fashion statements, but real necessities! I wanted to ask her a million questions, like could I borrow here shoes (She was rocking Valentio Rockstud's!) When I complimented her on her outfit, she proudly explained she was wearing all JCrew mens items - in support of the boys. I was in awe, you would have never known! It did reassure my love for

Taylor I'm so so so EXCITED FOR YOU!! I'd still be passed out on the couch in a state of shock (or next to a fixture in the store). Jenna Lyons is amazing and such a trail blazer for women!! Yahoooooo for Cali girls makin' it big! You know what I think I like best? Her non-attempt to look younger than she is. She is not overdone with the make up and is totally comfortable in her own skin.
ReplyDeleteSigh
What.a.NIGHT!
