Fall sale…new styles added. Really?

I received an email from J.Crew advertising new markdowns. However, I can’t say that I found many items that have been added to the Fall Sale.. I did see the following, plus a few random things from last year.

Cashmere turtleneck sweater My coveted Dark Poppy tneck is not included, booo.Tweed Astor jacket – From [...]

Super 120s Blair dress

Guest Blogger Hexicon shares her thoughts on J.Crew’s Blair dress.

Blair Super 120s Suiting Dress in Dark Peony.First, the color is even prettier than I was expecting. Rather than a bright magenta, it’s a rich, almost raspberry shade. Second, fit: For comparison, I am 5′4″, hourglass shape with square shoulders and thigh “issues.” In J.Crew [...]

Merino turtleneck sweater

I posted a mini review of the Merino turtleneck last week after I tried on the Bright Fuchsia in store. If you read the review, you’ll know I ranted a bit about the sheerness of it. Well, even though I was disappointed in the thinness of the fabric, I totally caved and bought the [...]

I was not happy but I consoled myself [...]

Cambridge cable V-neck sweater

J.Crew’s Cambridge cable sweater fits true to size. It has a relaxed but not baggy fit. The knit is soft and comfortable, not itchy. The cable sweater seems to fit a little shorter on me than on the model. It hits in between the waist and the hip and scrunches itself up closer to [...]
