An Interview With TalkingShopping

I just want to mention that there is an article about the J.Crew Aficionada blog over at TalkingShopping, a site devoted to news about shopping (click here to read). It was very flattering that they wanted to write a story about this blog. :)

I credit (and always will) the success of the blog to you all. And I quote (which is funny, because I am quoting myself now): "The community that has built around this blog is amazing! ... Moreover, it is the members of this blog that really make this place so fantastic."

Thank you J.Crew Aficionadas & Aficionados!!!

  3. Wow CONGRATS Alexis! That's a pretty big deal! This blog is so awesome filled with the best resources! Thanks for always updating and keeping it running!!!

    PS: LOL i had no idea Madewell was JCrew's sister store. I was always like, "why is she always posting about this Madewell company?"

    But now it all makes sense! Hehe.
    Congrats again!

  37. You *definitely* deserve some kind of JC discount for all of your JC 'outreach'! (: Should we all bombard Mickey's inbox on your behalf??

    Paper Bag Princess: I would love it if J.Crew ever created a special code for the J.Crew Aficionadas. Maybe free shipping on any size order, for one day, for all Aficionadas and Aficionados. How awesome would that be? ;)

  40. Alexis, it's probably just a matter of time before Mickey or one his "henchmen" seek you out and bring you in to meet the crew (no pun intended). Your cover will be blown! They'll hang your picture in every B&M behind the counter and whenever you go into one, they'll fall all over themselves to kiss your feet! That would be so cool!

  41. Well done Alexis, thanks for all your hard work and effort.
