The world—or at least, the conservative-columnist world—was up in arms last month when Jenna Lyons admitted in an otherwise innocuous J.Crew spread that she sometimes paints her son’s toenails pink. Cue the fire and brimstone—and a new coinage, “Toemaggedon,” to boot. Amid all the controversy, Lyons and company have remained sanely mum on the issue, [...]

Friday evening isn’t a time you’d usually find students milling about their school auditorium—at least not of their own volition.

As it [...]

The J.Crew campaign to dress every girl, every day, soldiers on, and the retailer’s first bridal boutique—which launched with a packed opening party last night—makes a strong case that the wedding day should be no exception. But no need to tell that to brand acolytes, who’ve been booking appointments with the store’s bridal consultants since [...]
