I liked the top, I ordered an XS but think S at COS might be a better fit. The material was great, length was perfect and the the neck detail was unique. Unfortunately, the slit in the front was too low and not a keeper. The other item was the fine wool top in Rust. Loved the color and the simplicity of the top, Rounded hem and unfurnished edges but it was very thin, another JCA had mentioned this about COS. I was impressed with the quality and choice of natural materials and will try again.JRSConiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267439414300795711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-88176025460814592062015-10-07T21:34:10.282-04:002015-10-07T21:34:10.282-04:00Hi Cobalt,

I purchased a cashmere crewneck a few years ago, and was not impressed. I really like the dress/tunic, but considering my past experience, and that the price had gone up, I was going to pass, but am reconsidering now!Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599893377335361408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-4001179567680148292015-10-07T21:29:26.114-04:002015-10-07T21:29:26.114-04:00thanks for the review!!

I've been looking at that trench -- I like mine to hit mid thigh, so that one would definitely be too long for me too.julielion96https://www.blogger.com/profile/02769063727174242992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-23370968451494552002015-10-07T19:18:48.313-04:002015-10-07T19:18:48.313-04:00Popped into BR after work - 40% any purchase, 50% ...Popped into BR after work - 40% any purchase, 50% off sale rack. Loving their pieces in the burgundy/merlot colourway this fall, so rich and yummy. Some great simple pieces - picked up the burgundy sweatshirt, the cropped windowpane top and the faux-leather front top. Tried a few sweaters but they have put a lot of angora and mohair in their blends this year and for me they were just all too itchy. cagliari67https://www.blogger.com/profile/16618905266377358932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89105046715348031742015-10-07T17:01:55.074-04:002015-10-07T17:01:55.074-04:00On the trench front we talked about a while back -...On the trench front we talked about a while back - I finally tried the Ann Taylor <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/classic-trench/384365?skuId=19350790&defaultColor=0375&colorExplode=false&catid=cat2860015" rel="nofollow">classic trench</a>. The color was slightly darker than the website pictures, and although the coat fit well in my usual S, it was too long for me at 40" (I'm 5'5" and it hit below my knees - the Icon trench is a much better length for me at 34"). Although the trench looked to be well-made, the fabric was not water-resistant. This coupled with the length made it a return for me. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-72359887718109737292015-10-07T15:34:50.351-04:002015-10-07T15:34:50.351-04:00Has anyone ever ordered from a catalog/company cal...Has anyone ever ordered from a catalog/company called Celtic & Co?catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-35069104807567961162015-10-07T12:59:43.562-04:002015-10-07T12:59:43.562-04:00A couple of reviews of skirts from Boden here.A couple of reviews of skirts from Boden <a href="http://www.shoppingandsewing.com/shopping-boden-fall-2015/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

The sizing is a little tricky - I found it a little too short in S, too boxy in M, but got an S Tall and the fit is awesome, slightly long and fits my long arms perfectly. It's 100% merino wool in a Milano stitch reminiscent of old JC sweater jackets. Very pleasantly surprised and happy with this one - if you're willing to try a size or two, I would definitely recommend.silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-40512160887481972582015-10-07T09:33:27.385-04:002015-10-07T09:33:27.385-04:00Everlane just rolled out its fall cashmere line-up...Everlane just rolled out its fall cashmere line-up. Basic styles & neutral colors, with a certain minimalist appeal. Their cashmere got mixed reviews in the company's first year or two, but the one sweater I bought & wore constantly last winter has held up beautifully w/ no pilling, stretching, or shrinking. cobalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848812326516312877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34776878037209252772015-10-07T09:27:27.323-04:002015-10-07T09:27:27.323-04:00I just received the perfect LBD from Anthropologie...I just received the perfect LBD from Anthropologie - the Paimpont black silk dress ($198). It fits perfectly on my busty frame, and is very comfortable. I paid full price and have no regrets - I would have paid more. The customer service wasn't great and I wish the dress had come packaged differently, but this dress is worth all that.<br /><br />This is the kind of dress that JC should be selling and isn't. I can barely remember being so pleased with a JC item - and paying full price to boot.cousyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321886213526230764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-79177292507499079442015-10-07T01:50:14.002-04:002015-10-07T01:50:14.002-04:00A couple of Old Navy vests here.<br /><br />A couple of Old Navy vests <a href="http://1moreshoppingblog.blogspot.ca/2015/10/old-navy-vests.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184724930345348154noreply@blogger.com
