Regent Street Royalty

As I've mentioned before, J. Crew opened its Regent Street flagship store in London last week, and I couldn't be more jealous of the Londoners who get to visit the new space. With a launch of this magnitude J. Crew came in with its big guns, and it doesn't look (or sound) like it disappointed. Occupying the quaint 16,000 square foot former residence of Burberry at 165 Regent Street, J. Crew already looks at home, doesn't it? The 9,000 colorful balloons add such a fun touch to the classic architecture, and I'd love to take home some of those gold letter balloons with me too!

Have any readers in the UK visited the J. Crew store yet? I'm dying to hear what y'all think!
