Confetti flapper dress, $700.00, Item 99510

From the J.Crew website:

This dress is party perfect—the softest grey silk covered in thousands of bright yellow paillettes. Sleeveless silhouette. Blouson bodice, straight skirt. Skinny straps. Scoopneck. Back zip. Interior corset for added support. Fully lined. Falls above knee; 21″ from natural waist. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Spot clean. Comes in a garment bag, shipped in a gift box with blue ribbon. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

This is a stunning number from J.Crew. It’s a really nice dress for the holidays. Luckily, if you are a size 4, you can get it for much less on eBay.

If you have been following this blog for some time, then you should know that I absolutely love the Daphne dress, a gorgeous wedding gown that J.Crew debuted back in January 2007.

I have written about the Daphne dress from J.Crew in the following posts.

Today I am happy to report that the Daphne dress has appeared on eBay in a size 2. There is currently one bid and the auction is set to end next Wednesday. Good luck to anyone who is interested in this dress!

Berry-trim Astrid jacket, $248.00, Item 96309

I think the Berry-trim Astrid jacket is a great piece from the fall J.Crew collection. I love that it comes in a gray color as well as two fun colors for the fall. I have only seen the blue and gray color in person and am very interested in ordering the plum plum color just to see in it.  Purple is a key color this fall.

I love that this jacket also comes in petite, but because of the shape of the jacket, I am not sure that it is necessary for me to order it in petite. I am waiting until the price goes down a little bit, or at least I am hoping that it will. I was just browsing eBay this morning and already found some great deals on the jacket!

What do you think of this jacket? Which color is your favorite? Have you purchased one? If so, which color did you choose? If not, are you considering purchasing one?
