I have ventured many times onto eBay.com in search of a deal or a hard-to-find item from J.Crew.  Just typing in a search for “j crew” spits back over 7,000 listings on eBay.  That’s a lot!  Last December, I purchased a couple of sweaters from the resort collection before my trip to Key West.  All [...]

J.Crew just sent out an email announcing the new arrivals of its CrewCuts collection. I absolutely adore the miniature J.Crew versions of so many items in this collection.  My niece is starting kindergarten next week and I just envision her in all of these little clothes.  She would be the best dressed little girl in [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote to Mickey Drexler, who we all know is the CEO of J.Crew. He did write back and was very pleasant and genuine. I will post his response after the weekend.  Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone!
Below is my message.

Hello Mr. Drexler,
My name is Leigh and I am the [...]

Distressed vintage slim jean in worn indigo wash, $135.00, Item 92222

A few weeks ago, I asked in this post if bright rhubarb was pink or red.  Well today, I learned that bright rhubarb is a bright pink color.
I was at the J.Crew store and happened upon the heavy-wool piqué Felicia coat in the bright rhubarb color.  It’s a gorgeous [...]

J.Crew sent out an email this morning announcing the new additions to their Final Sale.  I wrote about this yesterday, too.
I really don’t like the discrepancy in sale prices online and in stores.  Currently, the stores are running a promotion with additional 40% off final sale.
What goodies have you found?

Beware! This is a really long post. I tried on many of the new arrivals at the store yesterday. I couldn’t wait to get to the store and see everything. I was pleasantly surprised to see many of the items that caught on my eye in the catalog were on the racks. I did not [...]
