No thank you! As a girl with a boyish figure the LAST thing I want to do is look MORE boyish. I want to look feminine! Jenna does not even subscribe to this idea. She has a boyish figure but I don't know m(any) boys that wear sequins!

I like Google Catalog a lot because it's like flipping through the actual catalog whereas Catalog by the Find is too similar to shopping the company's website without product sections. Anyway, it's all cool. Thanks again for sharing!

I liked seeing how it looked on a variety of real women. Ditto for the SAs in the Toronto store yesterday -- I so appreciated seeing the wool Cafe Capris on about 6 of them, all different body types. It was a great way to sell a garment when it looks good on everyone.farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510967097446525411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-24361130541867476982011-08-19T09:42:53.106-04:002011-08-19T09:42:53.106-04:00Can't understand why they dropped the online c...Can't understand why they dropped the online catalog in this economy. It gets me into the store to make the purchase. if I wait until the postman finally delivers a catalog, I've lost interest and probably purchased from another retailer. Show me your goods nicely styled as JCrew does in the catalog and I will buy them. Simple as that...no catalog, no reason to go to your store or order online, so no purchase! <br /><br />BTW, has anyone found the September catalog online yet?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171662561748965757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-16315670030176692632011-08-19T09:36:47.663-04:002011-08-19T09:36:47.663-04:00Elaine and Hexicon, the word mâché - 2 accents - m...Elaine and Hexicon, the word <i>mâché</i> - 2 accents - means chewed or mashed up, and the word <i>mache</i> - no accents - is a delicate type of lettuce that makes a very nice salad. What's on that t-shirt, as Napoleon would say, n'est pas français. Which is why I can predict with confidence that JC won't be heading for La Belle Province any time soon. Grammarians are massing at the borders as I write. Pity, because New York teems with underemployed language majors who'd have eyeballed the sketch pre-production for a sandwich.

I know there's the push for the company to appeal to "fashion people" to get press in news papers and magazines, but JC needs to portray their wares on models that represent their shopping just a tad more than the runway/couture models that they've been favouring of late.Closet Crisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901050375126195972noreply@blogger.com
