I am debating on whether I will keep them or try them out in regular leather instead. The price was so great on the patent leather, I hate to spend full price on the regular leather pair. I may just look into a heel insert to adjust the fit. <br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71912542619341487142012-08-10T18:02:34.784-04:002012-08-10T18:02:34.784-04:00A review of the J Crew Collection Snake Print Blou...A review of the J Crew Collection Snake Print Blouse on my blog<br /><br />http://www.bichonluvrscloset.blogspot.com/2012/08/j-crew-collection-snake-print-blouse.html<br /><br />and enter my giveaway!!<br /><br />PS If someone has that link handy to make links, please email it to me again (I lost it) to me at bichonluvrscloset at gmail dot com <br />Thanks!! :DSuzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708653277798146489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-19697373513134926322012-08-09T16:13:51.822-04:002012-08-09T16:13:51.822-04:00New here...just found this blog!

I thought they would fall out a bit after being hung up but they are still there. Very obvious in the camel color. I also noticed the hollow buttons which I saw someone mention on last year's post about the blazer. My search for the perfect blazer continues...joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325863898655253178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21740465318655706062012-08-08T20:56:04.606-04:002012-08-08T20:56:04.606-04:00Hi.

This top is perfect in a small. It's about mid-hip length on me (I'm 5'2). I would like it maybe an inch longer, but the medium would've been too boxy, I think. I like the closer fit of the small.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337743056688713317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14393457631219024002012-08-08T14:27:48.227-04:002012-08-08T14:27:48.227-04:00Some new arrivals hereSome new arrivals <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2012/08/j-crew-reviews-new-arrivals.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>OperaRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580291817668441900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48617485996652789062012-08-08T14:22:37.494-04:002012-08-08T14:22:37.494-04:00This is actually just a question as I was in a sto...This is actually just a question as I was in a store and noticed the anchor dress was $10 cheaper in store than it was online, but.. the colorblock stripe top, does anyone know how much it might cost in store?

Mine came with a very wrinkled collar. I tried steaming it and it didn't help much. I didn't want to try ironing it until I decided for sure whether I was keeping it. Did yours come with an unwrinkled collar?<br /><br />Caitlin - I'm usually between an XS and a S in tops and the XS is good for me in this one. It is short though. When you raise your arms, you show midriff if there's nothing underneath. I like that it's short though, because it can be worn tucked or untucked (though it may not stay tucked in as well as I would like).<br /><br />See <a href="http://ajcshoppinnghabit.blogspot.com/2012/07/peter-pan-polka-dots-and-snakeskin.html" rel="nofollow">ajc's review of it here</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-68467789058473821982012-08-08T14:18:21.930-04:002012-08-08T14:18:21.930-04:00Hello, has anyone tried on the Sequin-trim Tennis ...Hello, has anyone tried on the Sequin-trim Tennis dress?

That being said, ordered my usual sweater size and found that it runs TTS, isn't too fitted or slouchy. The cashmere is a heavier knit than the featherweight but I personally do not think it feels as heavy as my boyfriend cardigans. Not sure I will be keeping for the price tag but I'm going to sit on it a while, despite the fact that it doesn't have white stripes I think it could be a good wardrobe staple and do well for work as well as weekend.shopmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592410215423970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30849516485808874732012-08-08T09:31:41.917-04:002012-08-08T09:31:41.917-04:00Elaine - this year is my first foray in to buying ...Elaine - this year is my first foray in to buying shorts again and I had the same experience with sizing...ordered the khaki 5" shorts and found them to be tighter than the hot pink ones (which yes, are PINK).

It just really did not look long enough! Well, I finally tried it on. It is definitely meant to be a cross body, but on me it was uncomfortably high. The bottom third of the purse was touching my hipbone... it was just awkward. I could not wear it that way. It would totally work as a cross body for a shorter person though.J.CrewJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464373354705821248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-70093943189810416182012-08-08T08:00:04.405-04:002012-08-08T08:00:04.405-04:00Visited Madewell yesterday upon hearing they had n...Visited Madewell yesterday upon hearing they had new arrivals, and posted some reviews, including of the highly anticipated Flowersketch Peplum Top from the Fall Lookbook which is gorgeous, gorgeous in person <a href="http://feelingjcrewzy.blogspot.com/2012/08/madewell-flowersketch-peplum-top-and.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

It is a twill fabric, not a textured cotton like the crazy black, purple and citron paisley skirt/capris(I wore those today), but a similar weight twill of the cafe capris' material with the red and white lattice with the little blue flower inside, or the feather paisley skirt. Sorry, I am not good with all the names. I've only ordered patterned capris this year. I've discovered they hide many sins, dog hair the chief among them.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666135219142328347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-54746805305640409672012-08-08T00:04:11.157-04:002012-08-08T00:04:11.157-04:00Do you find it TTS, or would you recommend sizing ...Do you find it TTS, or would you recommend sizing up?

I've only placed a small handful of orders over the past two years (after hitting it hard in 2007-10) and was mostly disappointed with items. This was not the case yesterday. Yay! Much heavier, nicer weight than a tee, it's somewhat reminiscent of the original Jaspe tops. I'm considering ordering the navy as well. It's that good. ;)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337743056688713317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6387949812011214172012-08-07T23:19:47.788-04:002012-08-07T23:19:47.788-04:00David, what is the material like?

I absolutely love the sweater (I agree that it is somewhat loose through the body, but that doesn't bother me--I took my usual size), but it is SO ITCHY. I can wear cashmere and merino with no issues, but this was really bad. I'm going to see if I can find something thin to wear underneath, but it needs to come right up to the top of the neckline without showing since the part underneath the collar is the itchiest because of the extra weight. <br /><br />I also got a card with two one-time-use codes for 20% off a $150 purchase, one that says "FOR YOU" and one that says "FOR A FRIEND"--has anyone else received one of these? If my mom or sister doesn't claim the "FOR A FRIEND" code I will post it here.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172782486495509920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14584115717720542732012-08-07T23:07:45.166-04:002012-08-07T23:07:45.166-04:00The idea with a super-short wool dress is that you...The idea with a super-short wool dress is that you'll layer it with tights and be more OK with the length, I guess.Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.com
