    Why oh why do they never offer silver-toned jewelry?! I love their necklaces but I don't care for gold on me so I don't own any. I checked out the new arrivals this morning & there is one silver bracelet. Everything else is gold. Wah.

    I love the flamenco ruffles! I hope your dislike of them is my gain vis a vis a sale price!

    A question for those who've vented about pilling on JC's merino sweaters: Do the merino Tippis pill badly, too?

      Mine haven't pilled, but this has been the first winter they've gone through.

      Cobalt -

      Mine haven't pilled at all. I have 10 or so merino Tippi's and I've had some of them for a couple of years. HTH.

      Thanks for your responses! With the current promo + 30% off, I just might jump on the Tippi bandwagon.

      Haven't noticed pilling on mine, but washing it ruined it. I washed it on delicate cycle and dried it flat, it was a wrinkled shrunken mess. Ironing it didn't help.

      Yikes, sorry to hear that, Cate. I always machine-wash sweaters, don't have the patience or tolerance for drycleaning. Maybe Tippi isn't tough enough to survive in the wilds of my laundry room.

      It's possible I didn't do it right, but I don't know where I went wrong. If you have good luck with this in general, you'll probably do better than I did with it.

      I don't know what kind of washer you have, but I have a front-load Samsung which has a specific setting for wool. I have washed my Tippis on that setting, dry flat & they come out beautifully.

      I only have one merino tippi, but it was a pilly mess after one wearing. I bought it two years ago. I haven't bought another one since then.

    I sat down with my new catalog, iPad and a glass of wine on Monday night, flagged everything in the catalog that I wanted to check out online and went to the website.....8 out of 10 things I wanted to look at were not yet available on the website. I really don't understand why you would mail a catalog and have the merchandise unavailable. (And I work in Marketing for a company that mails catalogs.) Grrr...

      A variation of Boston Brit's vent - The Nike Waffle racers are featured in the June catalog. But sold out in 50% of the sizes on the website =(.

    Re: J. Crew's website
    It would be great if I didn't have to click on and then zoom in if I want to see an item in closeup.

    Good news: Madewell is having a 24-hour sale today. Bad news: It's only on select items and nothing that I've been wanting.
