Our Pillow and Duvets Sale ends tomorrow, so we thought it was an appropriate day to share this quick video on what to look for when purchasing a down pillow and duvet. Our owner and creative director, Joanna Goodman breaks down the key elements of both.

Stripes are a great classic pattern for adding visual interest to your bedding. 

Do you prefer bold stripes, pinstripes, or something in-between?

Our owner and creative director, Joanna Goodman explains why down products cost more.

We're going to go out on a 'budding' limb and say that Spring is finally here! With it's arrival, comes our fresh store window makeover. So this week, we thought we'd share some of our own Beautiful Beds.

The merchandising team created a breathtaking space featuring our Lavato linens in a gorgeous pastel palette. It couldn't be more dreamy, if we do say so ourselves. If you happen to be in Toronto this weekend, make sure to stop by and take a look for yourself!

We were aleady thinking about jumping on the pajama fashion trend but it took The Sartorialist to push us over the edge. Today Mr. Schuman shared these street style snaps of a few folks confident enough to sport their pj's outside the house.

If you need us we'll be in our loungewear department picking out the perfect spring top.

It's so fun to look back on home decor trends from the early 90s. Our eyes are a bit overwhelmed by the matching floral curtains and wallpaper, but we still see some beautiful pieces hidden in the pattern overload (namely, the beautiful Au Lit linens). 

What do you think we'll find ridiculous in 20 years from current home decor fashion? Bonus question: What steps would you take to modernize the look of this bedroom? 

Harper's BAZAAR sat down with J Crew's Creative Director, Jenna Lyons and walked us through a day in her life. We love what she had to say about her nightly routine:

12:00 A.M. — I always shower at night; I don't like getting wet in the morning. I go to sleep with wet hair, but I have like seven strands of hair, so it's fine. To me, being clean and getting into a beautiful bed is just the best thing in the world.

12:30 A.M. — For pajamas, I have, like, 800 J. Crew T-shirts that I rotate and these amazing Kiki de Montparnasse boxer shorts. The thing that changed my life was really good sheets. I have this Sferra set that is kind of magical and these incredible white goose-down pillows. I have an amazing bed, a California king. I'm six feet tall. I sleep like I'm in a coffin, but I like to have a big bed. I have a gigantic sable bedspread, which is also kind of incredible—it's the most decadent thing I own. Every time I go to a hotel I miss my bed.
