    1. Thanks @JSR! I'm really looking forward to the roll-out. I assume it will be on-line on Tuesday???

      Love the sweater with the sparkly frog closures, Stewart plaid pouches, Velvet cami, and more!

    2. Love the velvet cami in amber, pompom cable sweater in cream and red, jacquard skirt, and Lady jacket--wish they completed four pockets instead of three...why not make it two or four. 🙃

    3. Thanks, JSR. I like the Wool flannel pant with paper bag waist, but of course there aren't any tall sizes. I also like the waffle leggings and the panel skirt in palm leaf jacquard.

    4. Don't lose hope St! It might pop up on the day of roll-out..I like it too but wish it came in petite.

    5. Ack, thanks for the heads-up, JSR!! I MUST HAVE Skirt in floral jacquard
      $138.00 item F5911! (but I'm afraid I'll have the usual Pencil Skirt drama that I encounter as a shortie with JC -- waist fits, but hips are too roomy.)

      Collection Topcoat is really pretty as well (also pretty $$$, womp womp)Tie-neck dress in black is also beautiful. Some very pretty pieces!

    6. love this rollout..wow best in a long time. Zebra everything is great and some of the other items are great too

    7. I love this rollout too. I ordered the Plaid Lady Jacket because that is going to sell out quickly. There are a few other things I would also like but will wait and see if there are any promos.

  2. Ooh I HAVE to have those plaid wool Martie pants. I'll be curious to see if they fit small like the plain wool Marties do, or if they're TTS like the cotton ones. Hopefully someone will try them & report back!

  3. Any other CDN JCAs going to their local store for the early Black Friday sale for AMEX cardholders? I'm planning to go!

    1. Hi shopgrrrl, it sounds like its 30% off regular price right, wished for a better full price promo since 30% off happens a fair bit. Thx

    2. What is this delightfullness you speak of?

      Delete
    3. Yes, the fine print is 30% off regular and 50% off of "selected" sale items. I rarely buy new items, so I'm hoping the 50% off will translate to some good deals on clearance items.

      @Barbara, it's tonight from 6-8pm local time, Amex cardholders only (plus one guest). I received an email invitation via Amex last week.

    4. Thx shopgrrrl!
      It's supposedly the same as the Black Friday sale, just early access for the Amex event.

    5. Well, the Amex event was a bit of a bust for me. I fought my way through rush-hour traffic, which took 70 minutes instead of 40. The store was almost empty, I was welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine. I was told that the store was "mostly" 40% off, which is great for those looking for newer items (sorry, I don't know what the exclusions were). But the sale section was also only 40% off, which is the same as it was 2 weeks ago, and there hadn't been any fresh cuts, so there was really no motivation for me to buy. I guess I'll hope for better at the online Black Friday sale.

  4. I just wish my store would get in some more stuff. I would think the stores would be packed this time of year but mine is quite bare. Most of the sizes in the new stuff are already gone. I went by today to take back the pink Harlow cardigan that I had bought a few weeks back and couldn't find anything to exchange it for. I like the sweater but I was afraid it would pill so I never wore it and now I am kind of tired of the color. I am ready for something more holiday. Does anyone have feedback on the Harlow cardigan as I might repurchase in another color as I do like the style of the cardigan?

  5. I received an invite today....Vancouver store. its for breakfast this sunday 9am -11 am. they open normally at 11 on sundays.
    it say early black friday deals. its for good customers....nothing about AMEX. so this is Canada's early black friday....wonder if its the sale as the amex US promo....
    the invite says you get a free tote and can use invite if you come later on in the day and get the promo.
    I would be happy to know what it is before i make the trek there....

    1. I got that one too, it was waiting for me when I got home from the early access Amex sale last night. Given the lack of new markdowns last night, I certainly won't be rushing back again on Sunday for more of the same.

  6. Love the corduroy details on the new No.2 tweed pencil skirt, well done!
