I love them and they are so easy to dress up or dress down. They are incredibly well made with classic lines. I always feel beautiful and well put together when wearing them. The beauty of these two jackets (along with my Azalea Bella) has not been rivaled by J Crew since in my opinion.jcrewjunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279036028304223599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-926315632472325472010-08-27T08:18:07.159-04:002010-08-27T08:18:07.159-04:00The Bella is boss in my closet!!

I think back in 08. It wasn't a match for me. Too Edwardian or something about it. I have a very distinct hair-do, though, so it just may have not been a match for that. The material was nice, though. I had the green velvet one. I sold it almost instantly on Ebay for what I paid. <br /><br />Hexicon - Yeah, I don't know what's so secret or insider about the sales. It seems that the stores have some control over who gets invited to things, but I'm not sure. I think if you use your card, they know it at your local store and they send invitations, not corporate. If that's the case -- and I don't know that it is -- it's pretty lame. J Crew needs to issue a coupon that comes to the cardholder's house. Not in the catalog since receiving those is unreliable. The J Crew credit card is issued by World Financial Network National Bank. I wonder how much say they have in card benefits. In contrast, the wonderful BR card is issued by GE Money Bank. J Crew would get a ton more cardholders if they had better benefits. I would reinstate my card with better benefits but absolutely will not with the way they are now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-20444145271420577382010-08-26T19:14:03.819-04:002010-08-26T19:14:03.819-04:00I wasn't that big a fan of the bella (just bec...I wasn't that big a fan of the bella (just because the rounded collar isn't really my thing-- the lexington was more my speed), but i can acknowledge that it was a solid item.<br /><br />sadly, you know if it were re-released, the quality would be lacking. or, they'd go overboard, make it a collection item and sell it for $350. :/tmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794767345499432177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71225883989113738402010-08-26T19:10:06.036-04:002010-08-26T19:10:06.036-04:00I still have my 100% merino V-neck and turtle neck...I still have my 100% merino V-neck and turtle neck sweaters from 2000. They have lasted this long. J. Crew's quality was so much better than now. I feel that the stuff is more trendy and one would have to really look for the classics hidden amongst all the odd looking pieces now.<br /><br />I remember the Bella jacket. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it on line. The azalea was such a beautiful color. I never got it, but would if J.

Sadly, it did not work on my inverted triangle frame and seemed to accentuate my bustiness, which I always try to avoid. I think the yoke was a big part of the problem for me. I pinned the waist up to see if alterations would help and I just looked even more buxom. I have to say though, with all the raves here if it was re-released I just may have to try it again.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-35514336546110470352010-08-26T18:45:35.389-04:002010-08-26T18:45:35.389-04:00I fear the Bella will never return because it lack...I fear the Bella will never return because it lacks 1.) ruffles and 2.) sequins.Raina Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095323923070587294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25717515170536408802010-08-26T18:44:55.390-04:002010-08-26T18:44:55.390-04:00I may not understand the appeal of the Bella but I...I may not understand the appeal of the Bella but I feel your pain and eBay hopes. My 2 favs are the basic mohair cardigan from last year (yes I'm lucky not to itch) why did they have to put a ruffle on it this year? And, the 09 school boy. It seems like they thought if shrunken was good why not shrink it more? Fortunately the velvet comes in tall but I preordered the glen plaid and it looks like a crop top on me.
