J.Crew sent an email out today reminding us about their ballet flats. There are some very stylish options. I especially love the all the suede flat. These would coordinate well with most outfits.

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?

Pixie pant, $88.00, Item 97643

This pant has it all—a little stretch, a supersoft feel and a sleek, structured silhouette that’s beyond flaterring. We love it with a long cardigan, day or night. Midweight viscose/nylon with a hint of stretch. Sits at hips. Exposed back zip. Jodhpur yoke detail along inside knee. Hits at ankle. 30″ inseam. Import. Dry clean.

Do you notice a difference at all in the $88 Pixie pant pictured above and the leggings pictured below?

I am not sure what J.Crew is up to here. The pant and leggings are nearly identical except for the zipper.

Signature black leggings, $29.50, Item 17689

Our year-round legging that’s equally fabulous with a white shirt and flats or an oversize sweater and boots. It’s made of a very good quality stretch jersey so it’s completely opaque. We also gave it a wide waistband with a touch of elastic—the best for looks and comfort. Cotton/Modal® rayon/spandex. 27″ inseam. Import. Machine wash.

Wool flannel schoolboy blazer, $188.00, Item 18271

With the free shipping code J.Crew offered this week, I went ahead and ordered the Schoolboy blazer.  At the time of ordering the blazer, the waitlist date was July 21. Now the blazer is back ordered until August 11.

I called my local store which confirmed that they have yet to receive the blazer. I really want to try it on for the fit; it would be great to have a tailored blazer for the fall.

For those looking for a blazer like this one, I found some other great alternatives below from the Gap and Ralph Lauren.
