Seriously--they are beauties but I'm just not going to abuse my feet anymore. BTW, st. I've got a beauty of a pair of red pointy toed heels by Vince Camuto that are very comfortable! I also find the Ivanka Trump brand of shoes comfortable for heels (and they come in narrow widths. yay!), but her flats are incredibly uncomfortable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162137913558958268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-38920551149009997312015-11-12T16:59:25.265-05:002015-11-12T16:59:25.265-05:00You're welcome -- I should mention (though you...You're welcome -- I should mention (though you would figure it out!) that DHL is $25 opposed to CP which is $12.

DHL is super-fast, and as described. I placed an order Tuesday night, and is out for delivery today. With DHL, though, make sure you ship to an address where someone will be available to sign for the parcel, because having to pick up from DHL is a pain, only because they have typically 1 location in a city. <br /><br />Canada Post, I find varies greatly. My experience is 4-11 days. The longer times have typically been when I have placed an order with free shipping, so in those cases I can't complain!!Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599893377335361408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-53468883679159708312015-11-12T14:14:23.419-05:002015-11-12T14:14:23.419-05:00This sounds great.

...Hi Jan, Injanuity, and my other Canadian friends,<br /><br />So, to clarify, you've been able to just bring in the packing slips, (even though they no longer have prices listed on them), and successfully been able to make a return? And you didn't need to email J Crew CS first to get authorization? This sound so much easier and convenient!!<br /><br />And...by any chance was this in any of the Vancouver area stores?

It's not just polyester, which to be fair can encompass many textures, it feels like cheap formal wear polyester. Like the material that would make noise when you moved. I was genuinely shocked when I touched it in stores. I could not believe JCrew made clothes with something like that.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265529601244825818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63254140452053892162015-11-11T01:41:23.848-05:002015-11-11T01:41:23.848-05:00Feeling underwhelmed again for the second rollout ...Feeling underwhelmed again for the second rollout in a row. Like everyone else I love the Stewart plaid, but I don't know, something about a thin holiday color plaid without any flannel feels odd to me. The contrast lace overlay skirt is nice, but almost seems too "obvious." I'll try it on in store I guess because I don't hate the price (usually the collection skirts are what get me). Only other thing I liked was the collection brocade dress, but that's already sold out in my size.

I'm normally a size 8 in JC dresses, but ordered a 10; I'm the same size in skirts & ordered the 10. Ordering up was the right decision for me; I could not have worn the 8. The material is stiff, but very nice. Colors are saturated & quite beautiful. I love the dress, wore it this week and received lots of compliments.
