I am going to post it to the blog this week. Aasha, I have never been to a J.Crew Factory store even though there is one in PA. But because I have three regular J.Crew stores much closer to me, I have never had the incentive to visit the outlet. I know that doesn't help you much. Jacquelyn, if you do end up going, let me know what goodies you find. Thanks! Puglady, thanks so much for posting that story. I am going to post it to the blog this week.

I live in Tucson and this store is on the far side of Phoenix from me. I am excited to get it but it is quite a drive. I wish it were on the Tucson side of Phoenix!

Are they overstock of regular merchandise or more like some other factory outlet stores eg Gap, where there is stuff made just for Factory/Outlet stores (that is usually not so nice....). Also do they mainly have basics like wool sweaters, sleepwear, cords etc or do they have dresses, skirts, cashmere?? Thanks in advance.

Michelle Obama wears Thakoon

It’s safe to say that Thakoon Panichgul has had an unforgettable year.

First, Michelle Obama puts him on the mass-market map by wearing several of his dresses to high-profile campaign events. Then Target asks him to be its next GO International designer.
