In december 2012 J.Crew - our favourite Stateside stop for wardrobe staples - already confirmed planning their first store outside of North America on London's Regent Street later this year. But this week the preppy US retailer surprised fans with the opening of a giant summer pop-up store in London. J.Crew also teamed up with the city's famous fashion school, Central Saint Martins, for a series of projects. And that, dear readers, is what we call overly cool. We were there to celebrate the flashy pop-up opening together with fashion editor Caroline Issa, E. Tautz creative director Patrick Grant, Business of Fashion founder Imran Amed, stylist Martha Ward and many more

If you're not living in London or won'tl be visiting London this summer, no worries. You can shop J.Crew online.

So Cannes has been inspiring. High class frocks and suited-to-boot men. What's been not to love? We're not the only ones who've taken inspiration either. Here's our top Cannes inspired blogger outfits- enjoy!

The Golden Diamonds here in the perfect blossom flattering dress. Spring perfection with a black shaped suit jacket to add a bit of drama. The sharp green earrings adding depth. Pretty classy if you ask us.

Lella Victoria

But let's just forget dresses for a minute and enjoy the fact our very own Lella Victoria and the gorgeous Columbine went for a more modern approach in their own stylish versions of a tuxedo. We love Columbines for it's simplistic but high fashion edge (it is an Acne suit after all) and lella Victoria for her originality and flare. Not many people can pull off that many layers and still look (as they say in Cannes) 'tres chic' hey?

As for hair, who hasn't taken notice of The Great Gatsby's influence across France? We sure have. And so has MAFFASHION. We're in love with this amazing up do teamed with the dark and mysterious lipstick. Yes please.

Woah there greenery. A craze has crossed the world of crafting and planting the most awesome rooftop gardens. Not only are they super pretty but super economically friendly too- they can save energy and lower the cost of heating and cooling! Plus if you live in a metropolitan area with little space or non-existant back yard, they can become a haven of tranquility, where the sun always shines! Plus, ever thought about growing your own veggies? We assure you they are easy and delicious. These our our faves from around the world, especially Manhatten- who knew a house/ block of flats could be so green?! And you Ireland- literally over the roof. Enjoy!
