A peek at Jenna Lyons of J. Crew's unorthodox—and utterly enviable—closet

Lately it seems like J. Crew's creative director and resident it-girl Jenna Lyons is just about everywhere I turn-not just in the clothing brand's steady stream of catalogs, but on Oprah, and now Elle Décor's new June issue too. In the magazine, she's featured along with her twelve favorite things, several of which gave me all new reasons to envy her (beyond her killer job, adorable family, gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone, and impossibly long legs, I mean).

For starters, have you seen her wall of shoes (of which Lyons says, "My son, Beckett, picks my shoes every morning. He always goes for the sparkly ones")? The range of options is pretty breathtaking (and they're even color-coded!). I love the idea of having all my footwear so easily accessible-though I think this out-in-the-open organizational technique only works when you have shoes as display-worthy as Lyons'. Check out the rest of her favorite items-from the groovy vintage Lucite chair she keeps in her office to her mint condition 1969 Mercedes-including photos, on elledecor.com.
