The Elusive Vintage Flower pin

I wish I had a review of J.Crew’s vintage flower pins but like most of you, I didn’t have a chance to see the pins before they sold out. No need to despair though. The company who supplied the to silk flowers to J.Crew sells direct to the public via their website. Or if [...]

From the dressing room..

I visited my J.Crew store this weekend to check out the 40% off sale and new arrivals. I didn’t find anything interesting on sale and my store did not have all the newest items. But I did have a chance to try on a couple of things..

City cardigans: I saw the Chiffon-bow city tee [...]

Jacinda jacket

I received the honey glaze Jacinda sweater jacket from dh for my birthday. I am very happy to say it fits true to size. (If it didn’t and I had to return it, dh would never buy me clothes again lol.) The material is a non-itchy merino wool double knit. It is thick enough that [...]

Favorite-fit stretch vintage bootcut cord

I had a bit of initial confusion about these pants. To make a short story long, I first tried these cords on in store 2 weeks ago. I picked up my regular size and found them to be at least a whole size too big in the waist. So I went home and ordered [...]

Chiffon rosette belt

The Chiffon rosette belt is currently $38.00 on J.Crew.com but several stores have it marked down to $9.99 with an additional 25-40% off. I purchased 5 of these belts (yes 5, don’t laugh I couldn’t decide which color not to get) earlier this week thanks to the tip by a kind poster on the [...]

Solid opaque tights

I purchased J.Crew’s solid opaque tights in Honey glaze. I’m buying Honey glaze everything this season . The tights fit true to size on me. The material is a litte bit thinner than my Hue tights. I think because the J. Crew tights have a 90/10% nylon spandex mix and the Hue have [...]

Felted wool mini

J.Crew’s wool felted mini runs true to size. I am 5′4″ and this skirts hits 3 1/2″ above my knee. The perfect short but not too short length for me. It has two side pockets that sit nice and flat. I am really happy with this skirt. I didn’t hesitate to pay full price [...]

Inspiration: A-line Skirts

J.Crew is offering some cute A-line skirts this season. The Belle skirt is available is several colors and fabrics; cotton, silk and floral prints. Unfortunately, the cotton Belle I tried on, ran big and was overwhelming on my small frame. But all is not lost, I recently received another great A-line, the Chambray swing skirt. [...]

Mercerized cotton v-neck tee

I received this tee today in Dark Fog and unfortunately it will be going back. It fits TTS. It is fitted in the arms and shoulders and a little loose in the waist. I suspected from the online pics that it may be a bit sheer but it is basically completely see through in [...]

Merino rose cardigan

The Merino Rose cardigan is a new item on JCrew.com. This cardigan runs true to size. It fits like many of the past merino cardigans, fitted in the arms and shoulders, cut straight through the waist. (It may run a little bit slimmer than the Tartine cardigan.) The Rose cardigan hits at the lower [...]
