The Lexi Collection from J.Crew

Last Fall, J.Crew introduced shoppers to the idea of buying J.Crew jewelry and handbags. They even sent out an Accessories catalog and opened an Accessories store in New York City. See the post, “J.Crew Accessories Shop Opens in NYC.”

This year, J.Crew continues to wow shoppers with some great handbags. The Lexi Collection features two clutches, a tote and a satchel. The price points are fairly high for J.Crew. The collection retails from $225 to $425. I am still on the fence about paying that much for a handbag from J.Crew

Have you seen any of these handbags in person?

The Coats From J.Crew…So Far

Every year, J.Crew introduces great coats to their collection, along with updating older styles.

With the most recent release, J.Crew introduced the wool ruffle-front and double cloth camino coats. I love how feminine and versatile both styles are.

What are your thoughts?
