I can't believe it, but this blog is now officially three years old! Back on May 11, 2008, the first post "Welcome!" was published in the hopes of finding others who shared a love over J.Crew.Over the years, a wonderful community of J.Crew Aficionadas and Aficionados emerged. One that I am grateful and honored to be a part of. Thank you everyone! :)
Happy Birthday JCA!!! I discovered this blog about 9 months ago and read it daily. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job Alexis!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Alexis. Thank you for keeping this wonderful space - you´re a star!
ReplyDeleteI too want to say Happy Blog Birthday! It is my escape, something that has nothing to do with my day to day. I must say I escape here often and and I appreciate those that I get to share thoughts with. Those who understand the need for crewlade, my Jcrew friends!

J Crew celebrates JCA! 30% off sitewide with SHOP3MORE.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. That's a complete fantasy.

ReplyDeleteThis is one fabulous, classy, informative, helpful, and fun blog. It has the distinct honor of being only one of 6 bookmarks on my Firefox toolbars, right next to the bad boyfriend J Crew. :) Many thanks Alexis, I only wish I would have started coming here sooner, and I'm still thrilled for you that you got the official link off of 770! And many thanks too to the other participants who have provided so much great info and many laughs as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! Congratulations Alexis on an amazing blog!! Thank you for all you do to keep this fabulous community going. :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis! I've been here since Year One and it is a wonderful community. It's so nice to share the passion with others who understand the thrill of getting that popback at 4AM after months of stalking!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's all because of you! Three cheers for Alexis!
Thank you everyone for the well wishes on the JCA's blogaversary! It means so much to me!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Alexis! I really was unaware that this had just started just shortly before I discovered you!
ReplyDeleteI had total knee replacement surgery that same May and was off my feet for months - and discovered this, and then FFM's blog a bit later. I love the community you helped to develop here - and all of the 'friends' I have met both on here, as well as in real life!
Congratulations and thank you so much Alexis. Your blog has been truly inspirational and helpful beyond words.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis!!! This blog is FABULOUS!!! I found you about a year ago and it's been one of the first places I go when I log on! My husband, unfortunately, probably doesn't feel the same, b/c I've spent allllooootttt of $$ thanks to this blog, lol!! Keep up the great work and happy birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis. You've put so much effort into this truly incredible blog and it certainly shows. Keep up the wonderful work...I for one check it out each and every day!!!! (*-*)
ReplyDeleteI ditto everything else that has been said. Thanks so much, Alexis!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Anniversary Alexis! I've been tuning in nearly from the beginning and although my interest in J.Crew sometimes wanes, my interest for your blog has never faltered. It's such a great place to hang out.
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns on the day!
ReplyDeleteHappy third Blog-anniversary, Alexis! You do such an amazing job with this blog and the time and effort you put into it is beyond impressive. I am so glad I discovered it when I did. Hats off to you for fostering such civil and fun discussions about all things JCrew. This forum would not be such a wonderful place without you at the helm. (I think the term "Mothership" that gigiofca coined for this blog is totally apt!)
ReplyDeleteBtw, didn't JC offer a 15% off to all JCAs last birthday with the code "HAPPY BIRTHDAY?" Wish they would do something like that this time too....A girl can hope, right?! ;-)
Happy Blog Birthday, Alexis! Let me add my voice to the chorus singing the praises of this informative, dynamic blog and community – thank you for all you do.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary, and may there be many more to come! Virtual champagne for everyone!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy 3rd Birthday! And a BIG thank you Alexis for giving all JCAs a place to call 'home'! : ) xox
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis! Your blog is one of the first things I read each day. Thank you for all that you do!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday Alexis. You really have opened my eyes to the ins and outs of J Crew and I appreciate it. Congrats on the Big 3!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary Alexis!! This is the place that started it all for me, and I love coming here everyday. You're awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so touching to see all the comments on this post- from JCAs who have been here for the past 3 years to those who have just arrived- there really is a wonderful community here.
P.S. In case anyone was wondering... So far, J.Crew has not reached out and offered a code like last year's blogaversary BIRTHDAY code. But I am thrilled that their FREESHIP offer is running today. :)
Happy Blog Birthday Alexis! Like so many others, my day just doesn't seem to start out on the right foot without an early morning check in here. I really appreciate the time and effort you lavish on it and we lucky JCAs have reaped the benefits. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday JCA! Alexis, you never stop being amazing and helpful and down-to-earth. I have met so many great friends through this community and hope that it continues to evolve. I'll be here with you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope Jenna sends you pink nail polish, a new striped tee, and a discount card from Mickey. xoxo
Congratulation!
