J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online).

There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The MAY catalog (click here to view) is still up. However, the latest JUNE catalog is not. As mentioned by several JCAs, J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

My top pick is the Chevron-striped Dress (item C6393; $148.00). I love a fitted dress and this one is just that!

Promotion Time! J.Crew is reminding customers that they are offering J.Crew 30% off select tees, shorts, and swim online and in stores (prices are as shown) with promo code SUMMERSTYLE. . This offer ends today!
