I am fortunate enough to live in New York City, where there happens to be a Madewell store, but for those not living near a Madewell store are not so lucky. Madewell, the hipper and cheaper younger sister to J Crew, was not available online until recently. Christmas came early this year because J Crew has decided to start selling a few Madewell items on jcrew.com. Check it out, and hopefully J Crew will keep expanding the selection.
