J.Crew got bought out, officially. Shareholders were all wanting to sue when the sale was first announced because the board was never consulted. But overall, your sequin/khaki combos are remaining in tact. (The Cut)

Meet our new intern, Sarah
Feb 24, 2011 //

Allow us to introduce the newest member of the ELLEuk.com team, our intern Sarah.

Our brand new intern, and worthy winner of our hotly contested Win An Internship competition, started on Monday. Her name is Sarah, and she’s had quite the baptism of fire this week, starting as she did right in the middle of London Fashion Week. We haven’t scared her off though, so we thought we’d introduce her properly.

Sarah’s competition entry (which you can read here) caught our eye thanks to her great writing style.
