  1. The J. Crew online CS team was able to locate a Wiltshire Liberty Perfect Shirt in a BM for me, but the CS person told me I wouldn't get the 50% off, but only 30%, and I would have to pay shipping. At $49.99 - discount, that was still way better than the 99.99 online price. I got the shirt today, and not only do I really like it, but I realized that they gave me the 50% discount and free shipping -- so I got it for 24.99. Not bad. I can't wait to wear it.

  2. I got my 'sorry we caused such an inconvenience and made you sad' $25 gift card in the mail yesterday. It was all dressed up in a nice bright J.Crew envelop and gold. I jokingly told my sis that I now had a gold J.Crew card. I think she believed me.

  3. I know I already raved, but wanted to mention again that I love the cashmere purl-knit snood and cashmere glittens. So cozy, soft and warm. Also, the Collection Cashmere Shawl Cardigan is wonderful.

    Loving the 40% off online and 50% off in store.

    1. Thanks so much for your review. Because of it I went on the hunt. I'm so happy i was able to find both colors in the snood and a couple pairs of the glitters at the 50% plus by 15% discount. I can't wait to get them!

    2. kms423, do you mind telling me where you got them? I missed them on pop-back yet again. Sigh.

    3. Shopwithm, I would love to hear a quick review of the cashmere shawl cardigan if you have time. I've never seen it in person and am interested in your opinion on quality and fit. TIA!

    4. Michelle, I will try to get some pics up tonight! I got my normal size small and it's a nice fit with a bit of slouch, but not enough to size down. The buttons are lovely leather and it has pockets! I've worn it probably 10 times and no pills yet.

  4. Loving the swimwear I've gotten as pop-backs in the sale. The printed bandeau one-piece tanks are great, and for $27 (one was $23!), they really can't be beat.

  5. The FACE lipstick in Chili Flake caught my eye the other day while I was browsing on line, then a co-worker mentioned wanting to get it as well. So yesterday while on business in Philly, I ran out to pick some up (the philly store is cleaned out and had barely any sale merchandise FYI).

    LOVING the lipstick. Put it on this morning with no makeup on and I could have left the house just like that.

  7. I received the scarf in the hothouse floral print and also loving the cocoon coat. I love the colors!

    If anyone see the ribbon bow toothpicks in 29 or toothpicks in cabernet 28/29, let me know :) seem to have sold out on line

  8. Loving this morning's popbacks. I got the pink herringbone schoolboy for $30. Not bad, considering that Factory is selling the same colors for $98!

    1. Incredible! What time does one need to check in order to take advantage of these pop backs before they disappear?

    2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's 2 a.m. Eastern.

    3. bella, lately it's been around 5:30 am or so ET (a few minutes past that, actually). Sometimes they'll do it later or not at all, though, saddening all who got up at that hour to stalk pop-backs lol. I have not noticed a sale update before 5:30am, personally.

    5. This morning is was right around 5:45 am. I was up but not specifically to stalk. I did manage to get a pair of the cashmere-lined leather gloves!

    6. I've seen them as early as 3 am PST, which would put it to midnight. I wonder how many of us are making the effort to be awake when the site refills? The 21st was astonishing -- tons of items added that vanished within the first couple of hours (minutes?). Hope whomever got the cashmere perl snood that was in my shopping bag is enjoying it!

  9. Also loving the pop backs - and that many of them aren't coming up as final sale! Ordered the Grape schoolboy to try.

  10. I love my new ribbon bow toothpicks I picked up for $17 and I love my end-on-end cotton nightshirt. J.Crew has become my go-to store. The after Christmas sales have been great and I really cleaned up this year. Not sure my husband is happy though.

  11. I love that those of who preordered the Liberty items in the tresco floral have received them early. (I wore the shirt yesterday, in fact.) Today I received the scrumptious silk scarf.

    What confuses me, though, is why no official rollout of these items? In fact, I could have sworn that my PS said the shirt would debut in late February, not two days ago.

    Anyhow, love that I can wear them so soon, definite mood lifter on these past C-O-L-D days.

    Maybe the items will officially debut next week? I can give you all the link to the shirt, but as of right now, the scarf is MIA on the site.

    Well, scratch that. I thought I could send you to the shirt on the site, turns out that is MIA, too. Whatever, here is the item on polyvore: http://www.polyvore.com/pre-order_liberty_perfect_shirt_in/thing?id=74641636

  12. Just posted reviews/pics of Collection items that I love, including the ruffle collar shirt, cashmere fair isle, cashmere shawl collar cardi, and cashmere pocket sweater here.
