Pleated Paulette top, $168.00, Item 19834
An absolutely unforgettable top styled in silk taffeta. Rows of accordion pleated ruffles, placed asymmetrically, give this piece a stylish slant, while a removable grosgrain ribbon sash cinches and defines the waist. It’s perfect for any dressy occasion and just as fun with jeans. Sleeveless. Hidden button-front closure. Part of the J.Crew Collection.
I recently spotted the Pleated Paulette Top in stores and loved the detailing on it. The pleats are very feminine and fun.
I immediately grabbed one and jetted toward the fitting rooms. When I tried it on, I found that it ran rather large and the black ribbon was awkward.
I love how the top looks on the model in the photo above. But I don’t really like the styling as shown on the mannequin pictured below. I don’t think this top works as a jacket. The catalog image has the top styled the same way.
What are your thoughts on this top?
Shadow shearling jacket, $2,500.00, Item 20889
The shade of winter sky in luxuriously soft suede paired with the finest Italian shearling. The silhouette—slim and tailored with a flattering belted waist—fits like a dream. Only a dozen others like it exist. Lambskin. Shawl collar. Hook-and-eye closure. Long sleeves. On-seam pockets. Hits at hip. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.
As the holiday season approaches, many retailers including J.Crew will be adding one-of-a-kind pieces to their brand assortment. With the November new arrivals, J.Crew introduced the Shadow shearling jacket that retails at $2,500. This piece is available online and select stores.

J.Crew Collection While browsing the J.Crew Collection, I noticed there are several pieces that are covered in sequins. I do love a little bit of glitz here and there, but I think these pieces might be too much for me.
What are your thoughts on these pieces? Are they on your J.Crew wish list? Or are you over the sequin trend?
Sequined deco top, $495.00, Item 17209
Sequined georgette tank, $395.00, Item 96217
Dulce sequin skirt, $450.00, Item 13323
French serge opera coat, $800.00, Item 17509
I’ve had several readers email me about how much they love the French serge opera coat. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind statement piece which is now sold out. I especially love how it is styled in the catalog as shown below.
Are you surprised that the opera coat is sold out? Or are you coveting another piece from the outerwear collection?

Icon trench, $298.00, Item 11210
J.Crew sent out an email today introducing the Ikat halter dress ($225.00, Item 15197 & Item 15481).
I really love the print and length of the dress. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also comes in petite sizes. The Ikat halter dress is available in warm maize and navy.
Have you had a chance to try on this dress? If not, will you be ordering it?
