Got the fleur de lis cardigan and burnished rubber riding boots. Odd, the only one left of each was my size! Hours later, I got the promo code for the 20% off. I wrote in and asked that the discount be applied to my order, and they quickly wrote back saying it would be! <br /><br />Couldn't resist the watercolor Evie tank and the paisley perfect shirt, as long as the 20% plus free shipping on my account were only going to last a few days. . . LOVe the silk/cotton shirt material. It tucks in nicely and stays flat underneath sweaters, plus feels yummy on the skin.fidelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357513390806542585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-35759574561257826892009-11-18T22:39:06.078-05:002009-11-18T22:39:06.078-05:00Dara, chiming in a little late on the Juliets--I t...Dara, chiming in a little late on the Juliets--I think that they look great but are barely OK in terms of comfort. I'd hoped that the chunkier heel and rounder toe would be good for long days at the office, but because these are cut low to show toe cleavage, I find that they hit the joint of my big toe in the wrong spot (not as bad as the spring 09 Cates though).

I purchased the stadium cloth Dani peacoat last year, and expected the Friday to be as thick, plush, and cozy, but it definitely was not. I thought it had much thinner material. The chest/shoulder area had strange shaping to it and the overall fit just wasn't 'on' like the other j. crew coats i've had. i was really bummed, as i think the coat is beautiful...hopefully others who have purchased it are having better luck with the fit, and don't notice a difference in the material like i did. :)rialcecirahchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163257587874883899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14441360105219027072009-11-18T20:59:39.030-05:002009-11-18T20:59:39.030-05:00I'm so sad.

It is a very nice piece of fabric. Things show through it mainly because of its light color. Personally, I like it better than the silk Frances or the silk Victoria because the ruffles lay nicely due to the lighter weight.<br /><br />The weight of fabric and yarn doesn't directly correlate to its quality. I used to sew a lot and I can tell you that a fine, nearly transparent voile costs a lot more than a heavier cotton broadcloth.kitsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707879362149921762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-62062190986499379732009-11-18T19:16:01.529-05:002009-11-18T19:16:01.529-05:00anyone notice the sequined V neck cardi on the Wom...anyone notice the sequined V neck cardi on the Womens' "new arrivals" page?

I have the Frances cami in the graphite print and you can literally the waistband of dark pants/skirts underneath it. I have the Victoria cami in a darker color so I'm not sure if the lighter colors of the Victoria were also seethrough but I am definitely glad I didn't pay full price for my Frances b/c it's paper thin.<br /><br />And Genny, I am so sad about there not being any red cards this year but you are probably right about that.Sarah Minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256576003473149144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-47584601706383530562009-11-18T17:46:04.875-05:002009-11-18T17:46:04.875-05:00I took the bait today!

I'm in Chicago but I have a super high tolerance for cold and I'm always running warm anyway, so I love lightweight cardigans. I have some of the Jackie cardigans but I'm really hating cotton sweaters now, I much prefer a fine-gauge merino. The marzipans are really nice, the fit is beautiful. I don't really like the buttons but no problem there. I've got marzipan in black, latte, dusk, pink, and now hydrangea.<br /><br />Another cardigan I'm really liking is the bling in the soft violet color. It's a little too sheer for winter wear (in Chicago at least), but should be fine for the other 3 seasons. The only other color I like is the guava, I might get that later.<br /><br />As for the velvet flower pins, dang I love these things! I've now got 1 slate, 2 blacks, and 2 purples all bought on sale. I hope another slate shows up, I want 2. I wish that they were available in pastel colors.<br /><br />.tamara.chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897696857151633520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-37981082775602557842009-11-18T17:27:29.811-05:002009-11-18T17:27:29.811-05:00Be careful La Belle, images like that are so spot ...Be careful La Belle, images like that are so spot on, they will hire you instantly!
