"Thanks!" to many of you, including Crew_Girl_In_Canada & Anon at 12:03 AM (in this post), Anon at 12:14 AM & GoldCoastGal (in this post), as well as Kim & Marietta, who let us know about J.Crew's latest (& greatest) offer! :)
Madewell sent an email letting us know that they "know white jeans". According to the email, "nothing says Spring quite like a pair of white jeans- and when it comes to the most flattering gits, we're the experts".
A big "thanks!" to Anon at 6:18 PM (in this post) who let us know that J.Crew not only is featuring LemLem, a children's line of handmade clothes, but also provides a video about Lemlem on their website (click here to view video). Even more fabulous, J.Crew's Creative Director Jenna Lyons interviews Liya Kebede, founder of LemLem.
In addition to understanding the creation & inspiration behind LemLem, we also get to see "behind the scenes" of the photoshoot for the latest catalog (click here to view the catalog online). It is a relatively short video, but still interesting to watch. :)
A big "thanks!" to Ashley who shared with us the latest email sent to cardholders about the Leather Gallery Satchel (Item 13336; $298.00).
J.Crew sent an email today letting us know about their new arrivals. They also reminded us about their free shipping offer (on orders of $195+) with promo code MUSTHAVE. It is unclear how long this offer will last.

In addition to having new arrivals for men and women, J.Crew also provided the latest catalog, exclusively featuring Liya Kebede (refer to this post), online (click here to view). I am all for new arrivals and I can't wait to look through the new catalog!!!
If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to take advantage of what's left (if anything) in the winter sale or to see some new Spring/ Resort arrivals in person, maybe you might be willing to share that with us in this post. In particular, if you could share with us a few of the noteworthy items that are available, at what prices, and potential sizes the store is carrying (as well as the store location)- that would be fantastic!
"Thanks!" to Shirls who shared with us an email letting us know that the J.Crew in Cherry Hill, NJ is opening today. The location for the store is:
A big "thanks!" also goes to Angela (check out her blog: "Durangela") who shared J.Crew's latest promotion in regards to the Cherry Hill store opening. (Angela, and her 2 year old daughter, were also the first ones to shop at this store today!) :) J.Crew is offering $25 off purchases of $125+. This offer expires 4/14/09. To redeem this offer, just click here (or on the image above) and print it out (so the associate can scan the bar code).
A big "thanks!" to LizPoms who shared with us the news that J.Crew is offering a new line of clothes in stores. LizPoms (click here to read her post about this) found that several items had a special tag reading "Vintage Closet". GigiOfCa (click here to read her post about this) ran across the new line at her local store too. (Incidentally, the image of the tag above was taken by GigiOfCa & can be found at her post). :)
The items, including the blouse shown in the image (which LizPoms was kind to share), in this newest line appear to be more romantic and vintage in design. The items also offer lots of pretty details that make the line ultra-femme.
A big "thanks!" to Appgal who not only let us know about one of J.Crew's new arrivals being featured in the latest issue of Self magazine, but also scanned the images for us to view! (Click on the images itself or here to see it larger.)
A big "thanks!" goes to JTS (check out her great blog: "j'adore these stores") who shared J.Crew's latest promotion on her blog (click here for the post).
A big "thanks!" goes to JTS (check out her great blog: "j'adore these stores") who shared with us a fantastic article (including images) from WWD:
Georgia Girl (in this post) suggested a wonderful post topic "...the posts about the Gala clutch made me think that a fun idea for a topic could be our favorite J.Crew accessories. It would be difficult for me to choose just one, I do love the J.Crew handbags very much. Come to think of it, I have a lot of J.Crew gloves, hats, scarves, belts and hair accessories too. Not to mention shoes!"
The first item is a watercolor pencil skirt that retails for $110. This item is not yet available online (or it could be, but I couldn't find it). ;) I am curious as to what fabric (e.g. silk, cotton) this skirt is made of.
The second item is a pair of Madewell white jeans that retail for $98.50. These pants look very similar to the their Garment-Dyed Zip Crop Jeans ($92) from an earlier post (click here).

A big "thanks!" to Sweetmint who not only let us know about one of J.Crew's new arrivals being featured in the latest issue of Elle magazine, but also scanned the image for us to view! (Click on the images itself or here to see it larger.)
However, I do remember a similar purse from an earlier post (refer to the "J.Crew Wedding Collection: Sneak Peek to Spring '09" post). The only difference I can see between the two purses is the closure. The pink purse looks to have a different closure on the top than the green purse (which has the typical "shiny brass-finish frame closure").
A big "thanks!" to empalc, TweedyBird, Bianca, Anon at 10:18 AM (in this post), birdie butter (in this post), & Joanne (in this post), who let us know that Liya Kebede will be featured in J.Crew's newest catalog slated for this April and also shared with us the following two articles:

Crewcuts sent an email today letting us know about their clothes that are "perfect" for everyday wear. :)

A big "thanks!" to Belle de Jour & Susan who let us know about one of J.Crew's items being featured in the latest issue of Martha Stewart magazine. Also, "thanks!" to Susan who also took a picture with her phone's camera for us to view! 
Belle de Jour shared with us that the item is J.Crew's Golden Foil Agnes Jacket (Item 12180; $478) and appears in the article titled "Jacket Required". I was unable to locate the jacket online. Thankfully JLiz/Lizpoms shared an image of the jacket from a look book sent to card members over at here {great} blog (click here for her post).
"Thanks!" to both Anon at 8:50 AM and Soon to be PhD (in this post) who found out that J.Crew is now offering up to 60 minutes to make updates to online orders. This feature use to offer up to 20 minutes to make changes to orders.
"Thanks!" to many of you, including limegreen_lover (in this post) & Cass (in this post), who let us know about J.Crew's most recent promotion.
Gwen Dress
I will say that I love the ruffle front. That particular design is very much like the Teagan Ruffle Swiss-Dot Top (item 99679; was $98.00, now $29.99) that they offered last year. (I love that Teagan top by the way!) With that said, I am not a fan of the fabric, which looks... fuzzy? According to J.Crew, the fabric consists of "layers of chiffon, organza and soft French tulle".
Lastly, I don't know what to say about the bottom portion of the dress. There is waaay too much going on. Glass beads, sequins AND feathers? As Joey from the t.v. show Blossom would say, "whoa!"
At one point or another, Aficionadas and Aficionados have seen the dreaded green screen or the words "forbidden" and "error". As of lately, many of you have mentioned seeing this screen way too often.
A big "thanks!" to Teresa (in this post) who shared the following insights on this {troublesome & annoying} issue:
Incidentally, J.Crew offers some advice on their website (click here to view a larger version of the image above, or click here and here). Unfortunately, it does not offer too much in terms of remedying the issue.
Well, today's the first day of the Second J.Crew Sample Sale (refer to this post for more information on times/ day).
First and foremost... Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!
The first item is the Casette-tweed Marcel jacket (Item 12182; $550.00). J.Crew's website describes the jacket's fabric as "the "cassette" tweed because of the way its lacquered fibers resemble an audiocassette's glossy black tape. We think it rocks too." I have to give J.Crew credit for coming up with a unique product description. With that said, why would I want to spend that much money on something that resembles a cassette tape? ;)
The second image shows two items: the lovely Dazzling-dots Pencil Skirt (item 11804; $158.00) and the Marjorie Metallic Leather Ballet Flats (Item 12659; $98.00). The skirt is gorgeous. Unfortunately, I fear this is the type of skirt (because of the fabric and pencil shape) that you would nead to wear Spanx with. ;) As for the flats, I am happy to see that they are not priced around $130. However, at $98, they seem a bit expensive for the relatively simple design.
