  5. Hi Alexis,
    Happy Holidays to you too! Thank YOU to YOU for this blog...I have learned so much here, and become such a better J Crew shopper, and have discovered many more ways to wear J Crew (from members' ideas as well as Fabulous Florida Mommy!)

  13. Thanks, Alexis! I used to check JCrew each and every day. I now skim through JCrewAficionada FIRST. I wouldn't shop at JCrew without the great info that is shared here! Thank you for creating a space where all of us with JCrew passions can vent and share...

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And good riddance to 2008! It was a rough one...

  17. Happy Holidays Everyone! and Alexis thank-you for this blog it has enabled and also helped me at the same time if that makes sense.

    Now if I could only get home for Christmas we are having an ice/snow storm here today, looks like tomorrow is the best day to be on the roads.

  18. I Love this Blog!!! Although I can now call myself a JCrew addict rather than the JCrew fan I was before. Alexis, I think JCrew should have you on their payroll

  21. Happy Holidays, Alexis and to all fellow Aficionados!! lol

    Alexis, a special shout out to you because as others mentioned, I was already a jcrew fan, but now I am a jcrew addict. I feel empowered though, with all the information I receive from this blog. I also hardly ever pay for shipping anymore!

  38. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all my fellow Aficionadas and your families! I hope that all of us have tons of laughs, love and gifts, of course, this holiday. :D

    And THANK YOU, Alexis, for ever, undying love for this blog and J.Crew, of course...my everyday wouldn't be complete without checking it AT LEAST once! ;)

    p.s. - I've always loved that picture you used. So holidays-y! :)

  39. Alexis,

    Thank you so much for the lovely blog. I am SO appreciative to you for this blog; it is extremely information and enjoyable.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Merry Christmas to all, but not to J.Crew - a bah humbug! to them for bringing back Final Sale.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Alexis, as so many have said before thanks for such a great, helpful and informative blog.

    I know it's only a store selling clothing; not an organization involved with heart transplants, but it really have helped me score some deals and correct some problems.

    Between your blog and the personal shopper I have never had more J.Crew, to the point that it basically is all I buy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Everyone: You are *so* wonderful! Thank you all for the nice words.

    I have to echo the comments made by so many of you, because of the members & your great comments, I too feel like I have been a better and more well-informed J.Crew consumer. I have learned so much from all of you!!!

    There is one downside to this blog... which is that I have spent a lot more at J.Crew because of it! ;) I have to say, thanks to you all, I have tried, purchased, and loved several pieces I would not normally have considered! :)

    And lastly, happy holidays!!! :)

  43. Alexis:
    Happy holidays! Your blog is awesome and I am constantly amazed at your ability to maintain it. It has without a doubt fueled my obsession for JCrew. I have purchased countless things that I never would have considered based on the reviews and comments here. I hope that JCrew appreciates your efforts! :)
    Thanks again and Happy New Year!

  44. Merry Christmas to all of you! I have been lurking around this site for months but have never posted. I have to say that I never thought there was anybody else out there who loved JCrew as much as me -- I was a closet aficionada -- pun intended -- until now! I really enjoy reading all the posts and getting to "meet" you all! Thank you Alexis for starting such a wonderful blog. I go here first every day!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Dear Alexis! Thank you so much for coming with a brilliant idea such as this blog! Wish you and your wonderful family a happiest Holiday season ever!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Awesome blog! Thank you, Alexis! Happy Holidays to you and everyone else here!

    ReplyDelete
  47. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you Alexis! Thanks for all you do--it is WONDERFUL!

    I would also like to wish all my fellow J Crack addicts--Happy Holidays! I hope your stocking is full of J Crack gift cards and the gifts under the tree are all more J Crack.
    I know I have an addiction that this blog helped enable and after TURKEY and the misfortunes that went with it, J Crew was smart enough to offer an addict a great percentage off of future purchases which only enabled me and the CC to go that much more crazy! They are smart, aren't they? They know the best way to feed an addict is to offer a greater incentive to... get more!

    The New Year will bring much less JC purchasing for me..and because I have EVERYTHING I could want in my closet and some...I know I have a lot to be thankful for. I appreciate everyone sharing fit, quality, bargains, coupons and stores that have items we need (NEED?? Ha...must have more crack:) I enjoy reading this every day and in order to get well, I know it's one of the things I need to cut out. So, I will actually be trying to stay off the blog to the best of my ability...but that is going to take some serious willpower;)

    HAPPY 2009 TO EVERYONE~let's hope J Crew gets their IT together once and for all :)

  51. Thank you, Alexis for this wonderful blog! It's so exciting (and a relief!) to know that others share the same passion for J. Crew as much as myself. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday!

  52. Thank you Alex and Happy Holidays to all Aficionada/os...

    This is an awesome community of super stylish and friendly people. The lengths to which some of you go to help each other find particular items is just fantastic - and the fashion advice is A++++++!

    I never would have had the courage to wear the fabulous Berry Astrid without all of the great "enabling" that goes on here!!

    Looking forward to 2009 - now off to keep searching for penelope peep-toes...sigh...

  54. Alexis:

    It's been said before but thank you for a wonderful blog. It is not only informative, but you've made it participative. The only drawback is that I've bought too much JCrew and am overwhlemed by the possibilities in my closet:)Have a safe, happy holiday everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Everyone: Again thanks for the nice words- it really means a lot to me. And of course, happy holidays!!! :)

  57. Thank you so much for providing this blog, etc. It is wonderful to come here for honest reviews, and I look forward to reading everyone's posts.

    I have to give it to JCrew this year - they have been A+ with shipments arriving on time, and sometimes before the best case scenario. I haven't had that much luck with other places, like Nordstrom, Amazon, etc. All of my packages (presents) that were guaranteed to arrive by Christmas are now not scheduled to be delivered until about January 1st.

    I will keep JCrew at the top of my list when other holidays and birthdays come around and people need their stuff on time.

    Thank you for everything! Happy Holidays!
