KATIE ARMOUR

J.Crew Takes L.A.

January 27, 2011

J.Crew’s latest photo spread in Los Angeles has me yearning for southern California.  Though I was born in LA, I never fully appreciated it until recently.  It’s really having “a moment” thanks to Sofia Coppola, don’t you think?

P.S. Yes, that’s the cutie patootie from Mad Men/Gossip Girl.

   Gosh, I always wonder how shoots in LA manage to make the city look so dreamy. Seeing LA in person is a completely different experience!

   I agree! I grew up in LA and never appreciated the culture until recently. Now that I live elsewhere I miss it! Great shoot by JCrew.

   I grew up in the valley and I love that the downtown area of LA is getting fixed up and that the city does seem to be reviving itself! And these pictures are so lovely!

    Another LA native loves this. Recently moved to Hawaii but LA is my idea of paradise.

    I’m from LA, too… but it took living in DC to really love the place and realize what a California girl I am. I miss the weather!

    Whoa! I sat next to that dashing gentleman at a film event a few months ago. How funny! He was incredibly sweet. I recognized him from television stuff but I had no idea he did modeling, too!

    And goodness, she is adorable!
