  1. AS MUCH AS I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH JCREW OFFERINGS LATELY, I HAVE TO GIVE A PLUG FOR FEW CLASSIC ITEMS I PURCHASED THIS WEEK. ALL OF THEM WERE ON SALE WITH ADDITIONAL 40% OFF. AT THIS PRICE POINT THEY HAD NO COMPETITORS WITH OTHER BRANDS.
    FLORAL JACQUARD DRESS IN GLITTER BLACK
    ITEM 07869
    VERY NICE DRESS THAT HAS “HOLLYWOOD GLAM” VIBE. FITS WELL, I AM 5.8 , 36A, PURCHASED IT IN SIZE 8. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO TALL GIRLS WHO ARE NOT “WELL ENDOWED”. I CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT WEARING A BRA OR YOU NEED TO PURCHASE A BRA THAT IS CUT REALLY DEEP. I THINK ANYONE WITH SIZE C+ CUP WILL HAVE PROBLEM FITTING THIS DRESS PROPERLY.

    EVERLY LEATHER PUMPS
    ITEM 03830
    THIS IS NOT A NEEW ITEM, IT IS ALSO SOLD OUT NOW—I WAS LOOKING FOR PUMPS AND TRIED VALENTINA IN PATENT LEATHER FIRST (MY FOOT HATED PATENT VERSION). I WAS DESPERATE AND ASKED FOR EVERLY TO TRY ON. BINGO! COMFY FROM THA START AND I AM NOT A HEEL PERSON. I GOT THEM IN BLACK LEATHER. I WISH JCREW WOULD MAKE THEM IN NICE BROWN COLOR, I WOULD DEFINITELY PURCHASE ANOTHER PAIR.

    DEAN ANKLE BOOTIE
    ITEM 07045
    I WAS ON THE MARKET FOR BLACK HEELED BOOTIE BUT MODELS I LIKED WERE AROUND $500.
    I TRIED ON DEAN BOOTIE ON A WIM AND WAS REALLY SURPRISED HOW WELL IT FITS, LEATHER IS NICE TOO. THIS BOOTIE LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON THAN ONLINE. I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE IT BASED ON WEBSITE IMAGE.

  3. I loved my whole box of goodies that I got the other day, hooray! The Skier Sweater, Red Tartan Popover, gold Bar-Stripe Tee and Pearl Twisted Hammock Bracelet. Everything is super cute, making me a happy camper.

    Posted pics and reviews here.

    Also, want to mention that I love that they're offering more cardholder perks. I was going to ditch mine, but this year, I've felt it's been worth it to keep.

  4. Love how gracious CS was this morning in giving me a price adjustment on the Factory order I placed yesterday, NOT loving the fact that this is the second time this fall that the "special, early deal" for Factory First members was worse than the following day's offer for everyone.

  5. I was also able to get a PA on the Factory order I placed yesterday. I really should learn to wait and not purchase Factory items right away.

  6. I was so psyched when I popped into the nyc jcrew sample sale this afternoon and grabbed the punk floral skirt for $125 and a pair of glitter tweed ettas for $100. The skirt is 1 size bigger while the pumps are a tad small, but soo gorgeous! Definitely excited to wear both (but not together) during the holidays!

    The everly suede metallic pumps I got a week back for 60ish are sadly going back. Too much toe cleavage for me. They're size 6.5 so do let me know if youd be interested in them before I return.

  7. I am happy to report that the two pieces of jewelry I ordered on Black Friday arrived today and they both exceeded my expectations (crystal corsage and fanned petal). AND, they both arrived in DUST BAGS!! In all the times I've ordered jewelry from the Factory, I have never received it in a box or dust bag. Hopefully, this is a new "thing" and not just a fluke or holiday-only feature.

  8. I am very pleased with J.Crew customer service, lately, even though sometimes you have to ask twice. A lightweight merino v-neck was cancelled from my order saying they couldn't find one in store either. A rep called me and offered to do a second find-in-store, and they found it!
