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.
ReplyDeleteNot too happy about the styles in the new arrivals...I don't want to wear huge falmenco ruffles....who does?
ReplyDeletealso got to wait a few more days to see if a good promo is added to the new arrivals....
DeleteI love the flamenco ruffles! I hope your dislike of them is my gain vis a vis a sale price!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffles also!!
ReplyDeleteA question for those who've vented about pilling on JC's merino sweaters: Do the merino Tippis pill badly, too?
ReplyDeleteMine haven't pilled, but this has been the first winter they've gone through.
DeleteCobalt -
DeleteMine 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.
DeleteHaven'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.
DeleteYikes, 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.
DeleteIt'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.
DeleteI 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.
DeleteI 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.
DeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteA 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 =(.
DeleteTwo out of the two sale items I ordered got canceled today, ugh.
ReplyDeleteRe: J. Crew's website
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
