It's a great coat.<br /><br />I also love the Chateau trench - I caved in and purchased it full price in fiery sunset and am glad I did. The color is amazing and the coat reminds me of old school J.Crew in that it feels special and well thought-outViolethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090413794079162631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-33081408350732884752016-02-03T15:45:20.542-05:002016-02-03T15:45:20.542-05:00Have some reviews of the new and lovely Watercolor...Have some reviews of the new and lovely Watercolor Floral items at Banana Republic <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2016/02/banana-republic-reviews-ryan-fit.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and some Athleta Reviews <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2016/02/athleta-review-odyssey-tank-and.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

I loved the shorts - the fit was great and the fabric was nice too (not see-through).

Great coat. I take a 2 in J. Crew blazers but a 4 in the Lady Day winter coat. I ordered the Chateau trench in a 4 and it just fits in the shoulders - no room for anything too bulky underneath. I think the A-line shape is cute and fits the casual feel of the coat. <br /><br />I also tried the Banded Sleeve Topper over at Ann Taylor. This coat comes in two colors similar to the chateau. This coat has much more professional look and a straight shape. Fabric feels great - substantial. The lining in the body part seems clingy. No hood. There is band detail on the back which is lower than usual to create/emphasize the straight shape - works ok. Very classic coat. Ann T regularly has 40% sales. I tried the S and XS - both could work but I think the XS is best. FYI: I had a bit more room in the shoulders in this XS than the Chateau 4 but the hips just fit.<br /><br />I'm probably going to keep both colors in the Chateau and the "coast" (neutral) color in the Banded Sleeve Topper -- which should more than round out my spring coat needs...Luxettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272560091052389518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-18451551869506965312016-02-03T10:35:42.786-05:002016-02-03T10:35:42.786-05:00We recently had an H&M open up in Missoula, so...We recently had an H&M open up in Missoula, so I decided to check out their new arrivals online to see if a road trip might be warranted. I've shared my personal picks <a href="http://bit.ly/1SkhCnt" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>. The last time I was in one of their stores was several years ago when I lived in Florida. I'm surprised to see that they are now offering a mix of mid to higher quality items, and a lot of natural fabrics, too. Check out my post if you get the chance, and take a peek at my Anthropologie New Arrival picks <a href="http://bit.ly/1RSjWSj" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>, as well as my picks for the new arrivals at Madewell <a href="http://bit.ly/20uUBPI" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>. :)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-38451208381258209172016-02-03T10:33:18.673-05:002016-02-03T10:33:18.673-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-62510655679173141402016-02-03T08:12:31.594-05:002016-02-03T08:12:31.594-05:00Land's End's new CEO continues to impress ...Land's End's new CEO continues to impress me. Spring prints are cute, quality and return policy are top notch. Very happy with two coats I received recently. And the Minnie pump is awesome. Gorgeous construction, comfortable and on sale now for 49.99. I just stay away from the frumpy styles. Almost always delighted with my finds. ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121478944826442351noreply@blogger.com
