J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

 

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online).

There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The March catalog (click here to view) is still up. However, the latest APRIL catalog is not. As mentioned by several JCAs, J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

Even better! It looks like J.Crew is offering 25% on all orders with promo code HEYSPRING. Plus, they are running 30% off everything for cardmembers (no min! both online and in stores!) with promo code CARDLOVE. This offer expires March 25, 2014. The fine print includes:

After checking the new arrivals, here are my top two picks:

* Thanks to J.Crew, I am into baseball caps. So of course I spied the Eyelet baseball cap (item A4331; $39.50), which is adorable for Spring and Summer. 

* The Stretch eyelet dress (item A2982; $158.00) is such a lovely dress for those warm-weather days. Looks super comfortable, yet dressy, at the same time. Just not feeling that starting out price point. Ouch!

With my top two picks in mind... I am once again kind of "meh" with the overall April roll-out. I am left to wonder where all the cute, cotton dresses under $100, are? Where are all the cute skirts? Where are the dresses *and* skirts that are knee length?!? (Some of us JCAs would like to bend over without flashing a crowd. Seriously.) Here is to hoping Summer has a little bit more for me.

While I am questioning some things, I have to ask about the styling of the Point Sur slim stacker Japanese selvedge jean in klutey wash (item A3614; $258.00). According to the description: "extra-long inseam... You're gonna want to cuff it to show off the premium selvedge." Is this the new trend now? I only have seen Sarah Jessica Parker rocking this look for what seems like ages. But I am not sure about it. Thoughts?

What items are you most excited about and why? Which items are you surprised (or not surprised) to see? Which items did you hope would be included? Were you expecting a bigger roll-out? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)

J.Crew's April 2014 Catalog on Pinterest

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Susan (in this post), who let us know that there are several images from the April 2014 catalog on Pinterest. (Click here for J.Crew on Pinterest.) The catalog is already available in J.Crew stores. Plus, it is being shipped out to customers via snail mail.

Word among several JCAs is that the next roll out of new arrivals (online) is this Wednesday. Brick & mortar stores might already have items on the floor.

Honestly, I am sooooo over Winter. Looking at images of Spring / Spring clothing is a welcome retreat. ;)

What are your thoughts on the upcoming collection? Are there any pieces you are super excited about? Does your local store carry any of the new arrivals yet? If so, please share!

J.Crew's March Catalog on Pinterest

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that there are several images from the March catalog on Pinterest. (Click here for J.Crew on Pinterest.) The catalog is already available in J.Crew stores. Plus, it is being shipped out to customers via snail mail.

 *Such a cute picture!

 * I don't know how to make the running sneaker trend work for me. They make it look so effortlessly cool here.

 * Simple and gorgeous!

 * This whole outfit is giving me some 80's flashbacks.

 * My favorite photo from the catalog. Love it!

 * Why is she so upset?

 *So the thing I love the most from this catalog is the Crewcuts dress on the far left. Why, oh why, did they not make this dress for women?!?

 * Per usual, the men's side is flawless.

Once again, I love the J.Crew location catalog! I was not overly impressed with the newest Spring arrivals, when they debuted on the website (& stores) last week. However, the catalog seems to present them in a new and exciting way.

J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online).

There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, but not the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The February catalog (click here to view) is still up. However, the latest MARCH catalog is not. As mentioned by several JCAs, J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

Even better! It looks like J.Crew is offering free shipping on all orders for today. Plus, they are still running 20% off everything for cardmembers (no min! both online and in stores!) with promo code CARDSONLY. This offer expires March 4, 2014. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid on purchases made using a J.Crew Credit Card or in conjunction with the opening of a new J.Crew Credit Card in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from February 26, 2014, 12:01am ET through March 4, 2014, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in Liquor Store or Ludlow Shops; in 769 Madison Avenue, Canadian or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders.

In-store discount automatically taken at the register. To redeem online, enter code CARDSONLY in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change. Subject to credit approval.

After checking the new arrivals, here are my top three picks:

*Schoolboy blazer in tipped linen (item A2560: $185.00) looks just like last year's version except the white trim is thicker. I love the style and look, so I am happy that it will be sticking around this year. Plus, I am happy that I got the original version on super sale! :)

*Grecian dress (item A3771; $98.00) is a nice throwback to what J.Crew use to offer back in 2004-2009. These types of dresses are great because: (1) the fabric is super comfortable, (2) it is versatile. Depending on how you wear it, it looks casual enough to wear to the beach or dressy enough to wear out to dinner.

*Cleo fabric loafers (item A1839; $160.00) just makes me smile when I see them. What a fun slipper to wear! Preppy and casual at the same time.

With my top three picks in mind... I have to say that I am kind of "meh" with the overall March roll-out. In all fairness, J.Crew's Spring Collection is usually not my favorite season.
