It all sounds lovely- Especially the Frances & the Eden! I can't wait to see the silk scarves too.

There is a silver/grey patterned Frances cami in the store that isn't available online...looks like it may be the one in the Glamour magazine layout shown with the Whirling Ruffles cardigan. The color code on the tag is SGR. I take a size 2 in that one, but a size 0 in the solid Frances camis. I also tried on the Ribbon-front top in Champagne (no Shadow color in the store) and take a size 2 in that one. It's much prettier IRL than online, IMO. <br /><br />The Paisley tee is now being offered in Green, but I picked up a tee that isn't available online...it's heathered grey with a dark grey/black sort of Henna/Tribal looking pattern on the front. The ombre' silk scarves are very pretty and there is a red toned one that works really well with the tortoise belt. They also had the striped long sleeve crewneck that was also shown in the Glamour layout. It comes in Navy, Ivory (which is ivory and light pewter), and then more of a champagne/camel color, too. My store actually had shoes today...not just flip-flops, either. They had the new flats out on display, but I didn't see any heels...still it was nice to at least see some of the shoes IRL. :) I tried on the Cotton Corsage cardigan and think it's prettier IRL than it appears on the website. The sale section was still an extra 20% off with the usual suspects on the racks. :)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-24236709169643870252009-07-27T12:16:32.421-04:002009-07-27T12:16:32.421-04:00Hi ladies,

Not sure if that's true or not, but 2 SA's told me that. I didn't want to risk it selling out, so I ordered. I'll be posting IRL pics when it comes on my blog.<br />I was also told that the Merino Ethereal Ruffle Cardigan would be online only.

I just wanted to let those in CT know that I stopped by the J.Crew at The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk (South Windsor,CT) and they did *not* have any new arrivals. They did offer 20% off final sale items- however there were not that many sale items left. (Not really worth the visit until next week). Hope this helps! :)Alexis {J.Crew Aficionada}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01823796392253094261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-41143053539666806302009-07-25T19:13:17.119-04:002009-07-25T19:13:17.119-04:00Mack - glad you were able to get your popbacks!

Won't process my order.. I've tried two cards! Keeps telling me there's an error in my payment method or something like that. (There isn't! It's the same info that's saved in their system - always worked before. I even tried a new card and still no love!)<br /><br />Another Web site issue maybe? I would call them and find out but I'm a bit too peeved to turn over the $$ right now! Especially after my trip to the 45th/Madison Ave store today.

She said the sales staff had expected the new rollout to be mostly low-risk tweaks to proven favorites ... Victoria, Ecole, Cambridge Cables, etc. And they are! Apparently Jenna and Mickey are playing it safe in the bad economy. <br /><br />Oh and the Dream yarn is supposedly improved in this version to reduce pilling because of so many complaints.
