There is some heel slippage but an insert will handle that and in the summer time my feet will handle that! They are super cute. I got the blue. rcb.shopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09557500983483062158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-68281821971678821232014-01-28T21:45:54.384-05:002014-01-28T21:45:54.384-05:00A trio of sMaCkDoWns, incl the seamed motorcycle p...A trio of sMaCkDoWns, incl the seamed motorcycle pants which net $65 w/BYEWINTER thru tonite. <a href="http://bit.ly/1ew7hMb" rel="nofollow"><b>Click here</b></a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-28284562695500014362014-01-28T20:34:12.349-05:002014-01-28T20:34:12.349-05:00Lots of new arrivals reviews lke all the new tees ...Lots of new arrivals reviews lke all the new tees and sweatshirts and skirts on my blog <a href="http://ina-wonderland.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Ina Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921238487710374164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-37251435655790833292014-01-28T20:11:46.965-05:002014-01-28T20:11:46.965-05:00A little late to the game but a review of the mili...A little late to the game but a review of the military jacket <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2014/01/j-crew-review-military-jacket.html" rel="nofollow">here</a><br />Tried on a ton of new arrivals today and should be posting those over the next few days.

Dot underwire swing top and bikini in coastal green blue: The colors are just as vibrant as they appear online. For me, the top didn't "swing" but that might not be true for everyone. I am not particularly well-endowed so I may have sized down more than others would. I also ordered the tropical floral ruched bandeau top, bikini bottom, and board shorts. The pattern is very pretty in real life! The shorts fit the same as my regular J.Crew shorts size. The bikini bottoms for both this one and the polka dot one fit exactly the same; so I'd hazard a guess that anything labeled "bikini" will be the same size and fit. I really like the top, the feature of having removable padding seems to be newer for J.Crew and I think it's great. Budget-wise I was only planning on keeping one swimsuit but I like them both a lot!AJLinBostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033349027431270122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-72348090432994478952014-01-28T14:47:01.057-05:002014-01-28T14:47:01.057-05:00Thanks for the review Luxette.

They arrived on Friday and did not disappoint. The colors are much more beautiful IRL than on the website - more vibrant. They will pair well with vibrant flame/modern red, navy, and the golden olive color JC had a couple years back, which I have a Jackie shell that will be perfect. The fabric is 51% silk and 49% linen. They read as linen with a slight sheen to me. I haven't worn them yet so I'm not sure about the winkle factor. I took my usual size and the fit is good. The difference I noticed was that there is a single pleat in the front of these pants, which I don't care for but it isn't a deal breaker for me. These are a splurge right now but could very well go on sale.

I got it for $18!!! And I love it!! It's got a nice cotton lining, hits above knee, but not embarassingly short, and looks super cute on. I got a sz. 4, which is mostly my JC size in tops/dresses and it fits comfortably. I can see wearing it all the time this summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89451618146012730052014-01-28T09:06:00.225-05:002014-01-28T09:06:00.225-05:00Pardon the repeat if you already read it earlier i...Pardon the repeat if you already read it earlier in the weekend post. A review of the collection cafe capri in Tattersall item # 04369. I have them and they are gorgeous. Other than a pair of Minnie's they are the only Jcrew pant I purchased this season. I took my usual size 4. I would say they are true to size but there is no stretch at all. The fabric is a substantial weight not like those paper thin silk pants they keep making. 81% wool, 19% silk and lined (100% poly) The print reads a little bit different IRL. Background is black and the grid is a plaid of orangey rust and rosey rust intersecting lines. I thought the grid was all one color. They are at a great price with extra percent off if you can find your size. I had these on my lust list early on and couldn't find a single review so I made sure to order before final sale. They look nice with a black cashmere crewneck, an ivory Blythe blouse and the twisted pearl necklace. I have a linen Tippi from 2 seasons ago in a rusty brownish color that looks nice with them too.
