Peacoats, Lady Day and berry Astrids galore. Lots of bootcut and matchstick cords. The fabric is thinner than retail, but nice and soft with stretch. The suiting section was ramped up with an awesome ruffled dress in black and gray, plus tweed pants/suit jackets. The sale section was very full and an extra 20% off. <br /><br />Men's section was pretty good with some sales on sweaters, denim and washed shirts, all like 40% off. Ended up with an oxford shirt for my son and that's it.Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975869818019507415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-28429034847220317392009-10-11T21:24:01.578-04:002009-10-11T21:24:01.578-04:00Went to both b&m and the outlet.

Wasn't jazzed about the selection at the store - very little in the sale section and want to wait for some sales on things/wait for the bigger rollout. <br /><br />The outlet was a success. Got a pair of dress pants (brownish with a faint mulberry stripe). Also picked up a button down on sale and splurged on a Victoria? cami (yellow/gray floral print). Seemed similar quality as the normal jcrew stuff.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719743486082035365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-702478833552346502009-10-11T20:28:15.989-04:002009-10-11T20:28:15.989-04:00So a few of us made it to the Tysons store today a...So a few of us made it to the Tysons store today and I tried on a whole bunch of things, but settled on some gorgeous basics. The tissue turtlenecks are always my favorites, but what I saw on-line was dullsville as far as colors...however, the store has some very pretty hues, including a deep teal/peacock color. Also, the sherpa down vest that the catalog says is not available in that olive color? Well, not at jcrew.com, but DEFINITELY available at the stores...and it is such a flattering down vest, all fitted and feminine (no Michelin man here). <br /><br />The store also had a TON of cardigans and v-neck sweaters on sale in the men's section and all us ladies raided it for the smalls and tried them on...I even bought one of them (a shawl cardigan lined in fleece) because it is the perfect kind of sweater for taking walks in and driving in the car when it is chilly out (but definitely not for fancy-town). Seriously, ladies, check out the men's sale section. The four of us who went all found a cardi or button-down or sweater to wear from that section!<br /><br />The Montebello Driving Mocs were down to 69.99, including the sandstone (which is still full-price on-line). I bought the toffee in a size 9...and I wear a ten usually, size down for sure on this one...<br /><br />Bekah: 80 dollars for the Jayne dress is fantastic. This dress will serve you well...it looks great on everyone who I have seen it in...dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-49891614761562741362009-10-11T19:27:45.640-04:002009-10-11T19:27:45.640-04:00Lauren S - You're welcome :-)

It was FP, but small sizes sell out so quickly at my store that I felt justified in grabbing it right away.<br /><br />Also bought the chocolate brown sherpa vest, which was marked down to $98. I like the fit of it--not too bulky--and the color.<br /><br />My B&M had some new items. There was a soft gray coat that may or may not be a new arrival. It was lovely but $298. They also had some pretty embellished merino sweaters, the merino turtlenecks, the tissue turtlenecks (nice purple shades) and the marled cardigan. Oh and the alpaca cardigans in the black, camel, and gray. I tried the black on and liked it, but thought it was a bit thin. I think I'll just spring for the cashmere V-neck cardigan instead.Lauren S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14022531610301336506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22168911989867364682009-10-11T14:10:26.238-04:002009-10-11T14:10:26.238-04:00Uh...hello...I just realized Columbus weekend = sa...Uh...hello...I just realized Columbus weekend = sales. *lol* All I know is J Crew only got $55 out of me this weekend at J'Crewlet. I didn't even take pics of what I saw because I wasn't inspired. As far as regular b&m, I guess they are training us to buy FP and also to not expect sales when other retailers are having them. Oh and no free shipping either on % off promos. Honestly, I'm not bitter. I just think it's all very interesting because Anthro has gotten the money I would have spent at J Crew.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22294052287485471792009-10-11T13:51:15.633-04:002009-10-11T13:51:15.633-04:00Lauren S. - I don't recall the exact feel of t...Lauren S. - I don't recall the exact feel of the fabric but I know it wasn't too thin or too stiff.

The supernova necklace is beautiful in person, and knock you down sparkly. If my life was more stiletto and less slipper sock, I'd be all over it! <br /><br /> An SA had on the marled sweater, and looked great in it! Great, versatile piece. I have a similar style, but in a multicolor marl from Anthro from a few seasons ago that still looks great, so as much as I'd like it I'll wait for a sale. <br /><br /> I ordered the new cashmere cardi in the warm mustard the day before the percent off sale, and am looking forward to seeing the difference in quality since last year. Luckily, I emailed CS and asked them to retroactively apply the percent off, and they did as a one off!!! Thanks to the JCAs who've mentioned doing that, I haven't had any luck with that in over a year. Maybe things are changing for the better.CheesyGoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778110564941632746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30242716443161654772009-10-10T14:14:30.111-04:002009-10-10T14:14:30.111-04:00I just left the B&M store in Friendship Height...I just left the B&M store in Friendship Heights in DC and I saw a lot of Tissue rolling-ruffles tanks in the rose and the slate colors in most sizes.

I like the new ruffled blouse - it fits me much better than any they've had before. The ruffles aren't so overwhelming. This is one I'd like to get if it goes on sale. I tried on a few new tees but didn't really care for them. They're cute, though. I bought the mens rick check shirt - I just love it! I knew as soon as I put it on that it was coming home with me. My ps told me that they thought it was a man's shirt at first. I'll be surprised if it lasts in the stores. One lady saw me with it on, tried it on, and bought it as well. I was able to size down without gaping at the chest. I also tried on and bought the cupcake tee in chalk. My only concern is trying to iron it. I am going to have to invest in a steamer at some point. :) The employees love these, and I can imagine that they might sell out. I like that it's more fitted than their previous ruffled knit camis. I also sized down in this. They were unpacking new jewelry as I was leaving. Many pretty items. I bought a necklace that is multi chained with 3 small fireballs scattered on it. It's so pretty! I can't wait to wear it; in fact, I almost wore it home. :) I also tried on and liked a new black and rhinestone ring. I hope it shows up online b/c the jewelry sells quickly at my b&m.math teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138745106263001588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-49729422623506771322009-10-10T11:14:02.424-04:002009-10-10T11:14:02.424-04:00Ah I missed the gray Double Serge trench!
