"Thanks!" to many of you, Fabulous Florida Mommy (in this post) as well as Life as a Cat (in this post), who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website today (click here to view online).There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).
The latest July catalog (click here to view) is now available to view. The Men's only catalog is not available though.Can I say how much I love J.Crew back on the boat! And Lauren Hutton! This will be my favorite catalog of the year. Seriously. The. Best. As for my picks...
I Like! Okay, so the Tippi Sweater (Item 46725; $69.50) is a boring choice, but I am loving the shades it is coming in like Heather Dark Grape.
Meh. The Crochet Marled Vest (Item 44714; $108.00) doesn't look like a mess... at first. But just check out the side view. The vest gave her a tummy. No thanks! To achieve a similar look, I much rather eat Hershey's Kisses. ;)Don't Like! Jackets! So far, I am not impressed. J.Crew, you use to excel in this category. Bring back well tailored jackets in established fabrics.
Didn't Get the Memo? The pins, like the Jeweled Monkey Pin (Item 49293; $25.00), have been in J.Crew's brick & mortar (B&M) stores for months. And they are even on sale already for $9.99! I bought the Frog Pin just two weeks ago on sale. So it's weird to see them as a new arrival, at full price no less!
Also, Eddie Borga's collection made exclusively for J.Crew is now available to shop (click here). "Thanks!" to Moke & Fabulous Florida Mommy (in this post), as well as Christine, who let us know about the following articles on this latest collaboration:- Racked: "Eddie Borgo's Collection for J. Crew Arrives at JCrew.com Tomorrow"
- Refinery 29: "Eddie Borgo For J.Crew's Collection Goes On Sale Tomorrow"
- FabSugar: "J. Crew Launches Eddie Borgo Collection"
I didn't really expect to see many more new arrivals than what they added since they only do small rollouts now. It's nice to see the Paradisa dress and Mona Leather Pumps finally online. Unfortunately the addition of new arrivals means that several items have disappeared from the website including the short-sleeve selvedge chambray shirt and short-sleeve white shirt. They pull up when you type the name in the search box, but you cannot access the product page after that. It just sends you back to the home page. They really need to get that issue fixed, IMO.
ReplyDeleteI agree FFM...the Mona pumps are great to see online. There are soo many colors! Unfortunately I might just have to wait for them to go on sale...$200 is a lot to pay for some basic pumps. The one thing that looked really strange to me was the Racerback tank dress. The model is very fit, but it shows her belly in a weird way.

ReplyDeleteDid you see the Maritime Blazer at the front of the catalog (on the model)? The edge is rolling badly, and you can tell, there is no lining! Made the jacket look so cheap :(
ReplyDeleteNot much to see in the July catalog.
Have a great day Ladies!
I agree, it's an inspiring catalog. I like the casual boaty styling, but I guess everything looks better on a boat ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to try on the Mona pumps. I saw the black leather in store and liked them as a basic pump option but now that I see they are in many colors I'm edited for the purple suede. Hope the fit is good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented on new arrivals in a while, but there are some things that stood out to me this time...I agree that teh Pippi is a basic, but great to see a classic line in JCrew's vibrant colors. Also LOVE the Mona pump, but agree I will probably have to hunt them on sale as $198 is out of my budget for pumps now. Even things like the colorful resin necklaces and the iPhone cover (!)--its great to see bold color in the accessories again. I miss the clorful jewelry--its the kind of thing you couldn't find anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteI saw the pins in the store. The frog one was cute but I didn't not think it was even worth $9.99. I have found the jewelry to be not worth it. If it has been around$5 I would have bought it. I think someone posted where their monkey's head broke off as soon as they got home. That had me thinking twice about their jewelry. Cute but I know I can find nicer items for less...
ReplyDeleteI agree - don't like any of the jackets / blazers being offered. They are too cropped, too boxy, barely lined, flimsy materials.... And please stop making the schoolboy blazers! Maybe look to Talbots for more inspiration and yummy colors?
ReplyDeleteI'm dying over the Jardin skirt in the beautiful purple color! Is this a (gasp!) midi length being offered by J.Crew? The Mona pumps also have potential...love the peacock and red colors!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if they've had these before, but I just saw the iPhone covers...great idea on their part. Wish they would make them in some of the most beloved prints of yore :)
Darnit, the paisley bermuda shorts were just stolen out of my bag in mid-checkout! It's been a long time since that's happened. Sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, I bought some of those pins at the B&M 2 months ago... weird that they are just now online. Love the cricket one, which was covered in little teeny stones and was by far the cutest one. Of course it isn't online.
I love reading the comments. I'll peruse the new arrivals when I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteThe jardin skirt immediately caught my eye. The description says it's mid-length, but it's actual length is just 19". hmmmm. That's just below mid-thigh, isn't it?
ReplyDeletekikki cee: I chatted with a CS rep and got measurements for sizes 2 and 4. The length on the size 2 is actually 23.4 inches; the length on the 4 is to 23.7 inches. On me, that would hit just below my knee.
ReplyDeleteAppGal, thanks for sharing what you learned from CS. Perhaps they can change the item description on the website.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for two things; sneakers and fleece. With the freeship code and a strong Canadian dollar I had to score these; Nike® for J.Crew Vintage Collection Cortez® sneakers item #: 50306 price: $75.00 in the color anthracite.
ReplyDeleteThe catalog looks great, good summer items and classic J.Crew styling.
I am tempted by the Jardin skirt in the rich purple color, but the length shown looks longer than 19". Plus it won't ship until 7/4-boo. Picked up the resin necklace in tortoise yesterday-love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so annoyed!
ReplyDeleteThat Tippi sweater featured is great - love the colors, great basic for my wardrobe - but it's Merino Wool. Even in office air conditioning, I don't want to wear wool - the moment I walk outside I will roast!
So far not one good work top this season. The button downs are nice, but I don't want long sleeves in the summer. Other than that, all tank tops, sleeveless, or faded looking tshirt tops.
I wish when they advertise new arrivals it would be just that - the new stuff - not mixed in with the items that rolled out weeks ago.
It's nice to see another longer skirt, the Jardin, and such a nice price too. It's still shorter than it could be, but it's a start. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd as I've said before it's nice to see the non-platform pumps because it's a sign that my shoe binge will end. :) I need a platform, even a thin one. I also can't do such pointed toes. But I'm seriously happy for all of you who like the Monas. The colors are great! If they made the Coddington in all of those colors, I'd be in serious trouble. :)
Re: the Jardin...yeah I hope it's actually longer than the 19" shown on the website. It certainly looks longer, and the measurements the CS rep gave me confirm that, but I'm still worried that when I get it, it'll actually be that 19"...I want an actual mid-length like they promise in the description!!! So tired of these discrepancies.
ReplyDeleteI saw the resin necklaces in store and thought they looked really cute, but borderline cheap? I only took a quick peek. I have returns and will go in this afternoon. I will have my son w/me, so who knows how long I'll have to shop, but I'll try to report back. Off to go look at everything!
ReplyDeleteLove the Freeship code. It let me buy that elephant pin! I've been searching for a piece of elephant jewelry for some time now.
ReplyDeleteNothing else I am excited about. The copy says the Mona pumps have a man-made lining! Is this true?
Alexis, the colors on the Tippi sweater are so pretty, I don't think it's boring at all. The Eden also has the same color palette and it's just a basic v-neck cardigan, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe Chambray Shirtdress looks like a comfy summer piece but I wonder if the fabric is too trendy. Anyone care to chime in?
I am buying the Starfish board shorts for my husband. I love the blue colors and retro pattern and finally the shorter lengths have made it to J.Crew.
Oooh, really like the July catalog. Clean, simple styling. Yay!! Love. As for new arrivals, can anyone identify the hot pink pants shown w/the Eden cardigan? I love the merino crewneck and cardigan in that purple color and same for the Jardin skirt. Love! Wonder if the Jardin skirt will make me look fat b/c I don't have a tiny waist, though. I also liked the Mona shoes, but not at that price. Honestly, not needing a whole lot of pumps at the moment anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat color Maritime is the model wearing? I want that exact color but it looks to be between the two offered right now :P
ReplyDeleteI like the Tippi sweater - you're right Alexis, some yummy colors! :) I'm curious about the chambray shirtdress. LOVE the paisley pencil skirt - this may be a must have if it fits well. The jardin skirt has possibilities although I find it strange that it is shorter than the paisley skirt (according to measurements). And I already mentioned in a previous post about the red scarf, although it's color is rose not chili pepper (even though it matches the chili pepper belt).
ReplyDeleteAppGal, I should have read comments before posting mine! So glad that the jardin is actually a little longer and not 19". :) I'm also loving the purple!
ReplyDeleteOT: can anyone comment on the fit of the underwire swim tops? Should I order my regular bra size or do they run large as everything else at JC seems to these days.
ReplyDelete(Of course, vanity sizing in bras seems to go the other direction, at least at VS. I've been a B all my life and now I'm suddenly a C?)
Strange discrepancy on page 42. The model is wearing a cashmere cardi over a blue top with cafe capris. On clicking on the outfit, the top is actually the Waterfront Tank Dress. How did she fit the entire dress into the waist of her cafe capris!?
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think Tippi is boring at all! It's a perfect example of the classic with a twist in a smashing color that JC used to do so well. I will be buying multiples--if there is a cardholder or similar promotion. Sorry, MD, despite your best efforts last year to train buyers to shop full price, I'm not gonna do it.
ReplyDeletesub :)
ReplyDeleteRe: Skirt lengths -- I got burned recently in ordering the soleil skirt - it says it's 18 inches long on the site, but when it arrived it was barley 16. .... Re: the Mona shoes - $198 for man-made lining & sole? I don't think so, no matter how pretty the colors.
ReplyDeleteHexicon....I just ordered the paisley paradis underwire swim top in a 32C (my regular bra size). It was pretty big on me. I just ordered the 32B to compare and see which fits better. The 32C COULD work..but I would have to wear the straps anytime I wanted to get wet if I'm not wanting to flash everyone. I didn't quite fill it out as much as I was hoping :( I like a tight top though...I am a smaller girl and I hate feeling like I'm drowning in my swimsuits or constantly tugging on them to put them back in place.
ReplyDeleteLolita, I was curious about that beautiful color also and thought the same as you- it's a mix between the two. Glad it's not my eyes going bad :)
ReplyDeletelolita.lee.love - I noticed that yesterday when I looked through the catalog and wondered the same thing? How did she get a dress tucked into those pants without any bunching? Surely they cut the dress for that pick! I really liked that look, but I'm not going to tuck a dress into pants. :)
ReplyDeleteHexicon,
ReplyDeleteI ordered the seersucker underwire top in my normal size , 34A. It was huge - not sure if that's because i'm on the small size or not, but I oculd fit an orange in each cup!
The beautiful colors are back, which is awesome. I *will* be thinking twice before ordering more dryclean only options. I have to dial in Dryel and see if I like it enough to use regularly. Our washer isn't a front load like some of you have said works well. I appreciate the Eddie Borga pieces, but studs are a trend for me. I'm not punk enough to keep them in my life, in some form, all the time. I wish the Tippi also came in a v-neck. Nothing low like the silk and shrunken sweater or the Costine. A respectable, non-requiring-cami v-neck would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've noted new sale cuts from yesterday at the top of this post.
I just saw the merino v-sweater. Only 3 color choices and I don't like that white rib at the neck. What's wrong w/the designers at 770.
ReplyDeleteI purchased a few items the other day, here are my observations:
ReplyDeleteBoho Embroidered top in vintage red - sized down 1 for a more fitted look, runs big. Very pretty top, the embroidery is so pretty!
Faded Foil Dress - sized down 2 sizes in this, to a 00! Runs very big, I have never been a 00 ever! Very lightweight shirtdress, love the print. Fit is great once you figure out your size.
Candace Dress in Paisley - love the print in the dress better than the pencil skirt. 100% silk, feels great! Sized down 1, runs big.
I did place an order this morning with my personal shopper, and she knew I had wanted an Eddie Borgo leather bracelet. When she placed the order she said they were flying, and moments after my order was placed, it was sold out. I agree with Gigi, the colors are amazing in the new items...so I did bite on a few.
ReplyDeleteHope they are great IRL!
Saw some of the new items in the store. The Paradisa dress is beautiful! I want it, but not for the price right now. Maybe on sale…but so pretty! Liked the Candace dress in paisley…finally some color…blues and oranges! Not sure how that style of dress would look on me, but liked the print. And I liked the Faded foil dress. I think it looks better in person than online. I wasn’t actually thrilled with the Ikat dress though. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyone try the Featherknit stripe boatneck tee yet? It looks so pretty in the Casablanca blue in the stores…I want it. But…it has been over 100 degrees here everyday..and long sleeves just won’t cut it right now :(. I hope the price drops soon…or I may bite.
I wish that was a new color of the Maritime dress. I love it! The newer navy color is a lot darker than that...
ReplyDeleteThis picture so makes me want to buy this dress again in a new color...love it! Too bad it is way too hot to wear it here. :(
I haven't checked out all the new arrivals yet but I love reading JCAs' comments.
ReplyDeleteThe Mona leather pumps are classic looking and I love the colors but without a leather sole I'm not paying $200+.
@Hexicon: I recently went to VS for bra fitting and told me I was a C cup and I've been B forever. ;-)
I'm glad that whoever is designing shoes got their head out of their ass and stopped making chunky, strappy, studded, 5" heel atrociousness. But the mona pump... I want to love it, but I can tell by looking at it that it will be uncomfortable. Also, man made lining... NO. I refuse to pay more than $40 or $50 for these. Which they will eventually be marked at the clearance store. Thankfully.
ReplyDeleteI am wearing my marsala ballet flats from 2007 today, and they are the most comfortable shoes ever. Leather everything, and they are actually shaped like a foot. In Spring 2008 they changed the shape and all the flats since then pinch and dig into your feet in various places. Not there. Oh how I wish they'd go back to the old quality. I know it's never going to happen though :(
Unfortunately I was up with a baby last night but I did get to see the website update.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the links for products aren't working. There are several items that I would purchase but I can't get the links to work. I know they are still available because they were in my basket right before the site updated.
There was also a floor length skirt that was $70 and part of the roll out but it isn't there anymore.
The Jardin skirt was waitlisted when it first came up. I too like the idea of the skirt but honestly feel that they quickly put skirt together because they know that they missed the mark having too many short skirts but the consumer wants midis.
With the free shipping code (with no minimum) I purchased the Jardin skirt in the purple color. I think it will be a very versatile skirt for me that could span several seasons. (It is pretty much warm, hot, really hot, and warm again in Arizona!) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to AppGal for the real lengths!
That's it on the full price stuff. Now I will wait until the Elsa jacket goes really on sale (only $30 off on the Modern Red . .seriously, that's not enough to tempt me) or until I get a rewards card.
Have a great Thursday!
I put up reviews of some of the new items on my Feeling J. Crewzy blog last night. The stores got a new rollout yesterday so that's what I went to try on. Some of the items were already on the site, just not the stores; some are new.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm going to take the link to Feeling J. Crewzy off my Blogger profile once again at least for a while, so you'll have to access it by bookmark or search (I made it search engine indexable now).
Hmm, nothing is really catching my eye with the new arrivals and I'm sort of glad? I've been spending too much money lately and I'm grateful for the break from temptation! It seems like JC must have been listening to its customers, on this blog and otherwise probably, as they've moved back to a more classic look they had before 2010 or so. It's not really my thing however so I'm holding back. I've been looking through some older catalogs (I just acquired a stash of the entire set of 2008's!) for The J. Crew Archives and I have to say I much, much prefer the softer colors they had in 2010 rather than the bold, primary ones from yore.
ReplyDelete@hexicon: I'll contribute my two cents on the fitting of swimwears. I find it hard to buy jcrew swim but through trial and errors and multiple orders, I think I know what size fits me better. I'm always a 32b in vs, but the same size in jcrew is way too big for me, both cup size and band width. Interestingly and ironically, im mostly xs in all of their clohthigs but xs bikini is too small for me, I don't get any coverage. s is better. However, xs tankini fits perfect. One more thing to note, the hardly any top has padding, so u don't get any support/push up effects. They're pretty thins. I bought 3 sets recently but since I washed them I can't return. I'm planning to sew sme paddings myself.
ReplyDeleteI popped in this morning to check things out, and will post some pics on my blog tomorrow. Overall, loved seeing the pops of color, and some simpler pieces. There were some pieces online that weren't in my store (or I didn't notice). I like the Jardin skirt as well, and the Tippi sweater is very cute in fun colors (and a nice starting price point). Love J.Crew on a boat again!
ReplyDeletei bought the eddie borgo cuffs and a necklace at my b&m. they are fun and rocker-chic though i'm not convinced they're worth the price. while i'll likely end up keeping them bc i enjoy the look, not sure the construction is the best.
ReplyDeletesurprised the stuff is actually still available (cuffs back ordered)--i was convinced it would fly off the shelves/website but my b&m still had a bunch yesterday (they got them in on monday)
OT, but this is an interesting article from the NYT talking about shopping in summer and disposable fashion a bit.
ReplyDeletechecked out the Garden State plaza store today, lots of color, but not much tempting me, other than the leopard iphone 4 case @ 25 bucks no thanks,
ReplyDeletethat store always has the newest stock but today just "meh"
Ugh, OTT, but I can't get the short-sleeve selvedge chambray or the short-sleeve white shirt when I type the names into the search. Why oh why do boy's shirts pop up when I type in Women's.
ReplyDeleteNothing really inspiring me right now. I also really like the Jardin skirt, but a cotton dry-clean only skirt does not speak summer ease to me. Some nice new colors, but mostly just kinda meh. Maybe just an off day for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see J. Crew start carrying the wrinkle-free shirts that BR has. I think J. Crew would come up with more colors - I don't know why they haven't already.
ReplyDeleteThe bra sized tops are always huge in my normal size. I am a 34D and the 34 D is out of control. 34 C fits better. Similarly, the D cup tank suits are WAYYYYY too big. So size down for that kind of suit.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I am a clothing size 4/6... and I need a medium in the normal swimsuit tops and bottoms. Technically I should wear a small, I am guessing, since 4/6 is usually considered equivalent to small.. but I haven't been able to wear J.Crew small sized bathing suits since middle school.
Basically the sizing in their swimwear is, like everything else they sell, completely inconsistent!
Marietta,
ReplyDeleteHow long was the Foil dress and was your size on the smaller end? Thanks!
OT, but I ordered, and returned the Soiree skirt in the Shibori tie-dye print. First, the pattern was very nice, but no color, just black and white. Second, it was only 18" long in the size 8. Third can you guess what material it was NOT made out of? Correct, the copy online says it is silk and it is NOT. It is 100% cotton. And it was not marked as a Collection piece as indicated online. Some may love that it is cotton and not silk, but the price is really outrageous for a SHORT cotton skirt.
Hmmm...the only thing that catches my eye is the clay check print. I love the retro vibe. I must not be drinking the Crew-ade this afternoon! I usually mark a few things but nothing is floating my boat this round...
ReplyDeleteRegarding the new catalog, I loved the on-location shoot. I like the added colors. I really did not notice that many new styles. I agree about the Mona pumps and not paying 200.00 for shoes that do not even have a leather lining or leather sole. This is another JC cost cutting tactic and it is driving my business elsewhere. Again, the dresses are too short which is a good thing for my wallet! I agree they need to step up the style of the jackets and knock off all the schoolboy versions. I love the Jardin skirt and ordered the purple. My orders have been coming much sooner than the promised "waitlisted date."
ReplyDeleteIf anyone tries the Paradisa dress can you please comment on the sizing and length? TIA!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI tried (and brought home) the Paradisa dress last week. I just love the shape and detailing/colors--its the kind of dress that felt very "me" which I haven't seen at JCrew for a while so I had to grab it.
Size wise, I would say it runs true to size, though please know I recently had a baby so I am struggling with what size I am now! I got the same size I used to wear in pants, but a size smaller than my current size in pants. SO I would say it runs true to maybe one size large. The skirt portion hit just above my knee, I am 5'9" and have a longer torso. I would say the skirt tends more to "straight" than it does to "a-line" as said on the website. The straps are not adjustable but I found the fit ok. The bodice is pretty well structured but you might need a lightweight strapless bra for good fit.
I really love the dress and have to debate whether I will keep it or let it go and see if I can grab it on sale.
Hope this helps!
Mona pumps - adorable but not going on my feet at any price due to synthetic materials. A recipe for misery, especially in summer. Good call, barbabelle, jcrewphd, and shekster!
ReplyDeleteTortoise necklace - love! Nice to see J Crew *starting* to recognize the lower price points their jewelry merits. Don't stop yet, Mickey! You're getting warmer.
Jenna's cardi - I desperately need cardis for my chilly office. Never have been happy with Jackies over dresses. Love the Lilly Pulitzer shrug cardis but the color range is nonexistent. Tell me what you love or hate about Jenna's cardi. I'm not taking the plunge @ $50 a pop unless I'm going to wonder how I ever lived without them! Thanks JCAs!
Still waiting for a good range of knee skimming work dresses and skirts for my conservative office......waiting.....still waiting.....
Nothing stood out for me- I usually check out the jewelry and purses first and was very disappointed- the Borgo collection is interesting, but I can't really pull off studded cuffs and especially not for $135! all of the bags seemed like I had seem them before... the one item I liked was the new paisley scarf. It was online and now of course has gone missing, but is in stores.
ReplyDelete19" for the Jardin skirt is awfully short, I'm on 5'4" and it would be at the top of my knee. I think it's really cute but too casual for me, plus I wouldn't know how to maintain the disheveled look. If you sit in it for a long time do the butt area wrinkles flatten out? :) I do think it's cute though, and I hope J Crew is planning to offer more below the knee skirts, way more below! I want a true midi a-line.
ReplyDelete@Holly Tara: I own two Jenna's cardigan from last year. I like merino wool since they hold up better than cotton cardigans after I wash them. But I don't wear Jenna's cardis much unless it's over a dress or skirt. It's cropped and rather fitted on the arms and chest and I'm only a B cup. Someone here suggested going up a size so maybe if you're in between sizes you could do that. It seems to be selling well since JC has brought them back with more colors. HTH!
ReplyDeleteI just posted some pics and reviews of the Indira Ikat, a strappy version of the Souvenir dress, Mirabel dress and Indie here.
ReplyDeleteI love the Jenna cardigans I have and they have held up fairly well. I usually wear a 2-4 or s in JC tops and I sized up to a medium and it still isn't roomy. The sleeves are very fitted on this and it is fairly cropped, so I strongly suggest sizing up.
ReplyDeleteI only wear it with dresses or with a cami tucked into a pencil skirt. It hasn't looked good with any other types of outfits on me due to its short length and shape.
Has anyone tried the short sleeve white shirt?
ReplyDeleteThanks jcrewphd, that's very helpful. Think I'll take the plunge on a couple.
ReplyDeleteShekster - I ended up purchasing the Foil dress in 00, when I am normally a size 2. The dress definitely runs big. I am 5' 1.5" and the dress hit at just above my knees. HTH, it is a very pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed the description for the Maritime dress? Where it says "Falls to knee"? You've got to be my 8-year-old's height for this dress to fall to knee. Just look at the picture, Jcrew
ReplyDeleteI also love the Jenna's cardigans, kitsmommy. It's slightly shorter than the Marzipans but they are very finely knit and finished nicely, and all of the ones I have (5 now, I think) are been exactly the same dimensions, i.e., good quality control. I did size up too. I'm glad to see that they're putting out new colors, I'm going to order the camel one very soon. The image for camel wasn't available last time I looked, but there's another cardigan that comes in that same color and its picture is available. I'm kind of surprised that there have been three peachy pink tones, provence pink, guava, and now blush stone. I wonder why chose three colors that are so similar?
ReplyDeleteIs the Jardin skirt in the B&M? Has anyone seen in IRL?
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to note thaat I posted pics of the Paradisa Dress (before I knew the name)here on my blog. It's adorable!!
ReplyDeleteMarietta,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info. I thought it might fit a little big given that seems to be the current trend at JC. I sure hope it is longer in the larger sizes! Fingers crossed.:)
shopwithm,
Thanks so much for your dress reviews! I love the Mirabel as well! I did not even know that the Souvenir dress came in another version. I also felt the Ikat dress made my shoulders look big, but you looked way better in it than I did. :)
Posted some new pics/reviews this morning, of the Maritime in navy and the Rowboat, as well as the sale chambray Caroline dress.
ReplyDeleteHERE
LizPoms,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your info on the Paradisa dress! It sounds like it might actually be long enough for me! FINALLY! I doubt my store will get it so I will order a few sizes to try and see how it goes. :)
I was a sucker for the paisley skirt, dress and some sweaters. Here are IRL pics:
ReplyDeletehttp://handbagaficionado.blogspot.com/2011/06/jcrew-new-summer-2011-arrivals.html
@jcrewphd, I received my two Jenna cardis and love them! One was FB and is going back to B&M to be repurchased at 20% off with a catalog code. I'll be picking up more colors as they hit the sale section!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the catalog, I receive it at two addresses. (billing address and ship to address are different) One was fewer pages with a 20% code and the other was bigger with no code. Other than the discounts, I didn't realize we weren't all getting the same catalog.
