Ok, so not super wowed, but gave me enough to get even a little hopeful for spring. Still, lots of ruffles and so didn't get the edge or shift I would have liked to see, but here were a few things that caught my eye.

J. Crew, Please Surprise Me...Ruffle and Bow-Free!
I am so hoping that J. Crew can surprise me in the New Year. When I saw a sneak peek of the above "Crystal Box" necklace (thanks to Alexis @ JCrewAficionada and Arely) which was apparently inspiredby the Fenton and Fallon jewelry lines, I was a little disappointed. I am personally wowed by this jewelry designer www.fallonjewelry.comhowever, it did not translate for me with J. Crew. All I could think was, "please, no more bows"!While it has been noted that Jenna Lyons of J.Crew and Dana Lorenz had met and collaborated further, it does not provide the edge I might have hoped for.I love statement pieces, but it seems there have been so many iterations of baubles, bows and endless ruffles from their clothing to their jewelry. Also, upon a recent visit to the B&M, I was less than enthusiastic about some of the what seemed to be "resort wear" on the majority of the back of the store.Does anyone else feel this way? I am ready to be wowed and these early peeks are not cutting it for me so will hope that I will be proved wrong. I have always been inspired from catalog to catalog, so will hope for anew in the New Year!
