Sneak Peek at Upcoming J.Crew Catalog

A big "thanks!" to KnitYarns (in this post) who shared the following:

... I just popped into my local B&M (Garden State)the JC concept shop, and they were merchandising all of the new fall goodies...

There were beautiful spectator with chains Chanel type ballet flats- no price, but the SA thought about $200-eek. They came in Camellia pink and black, and saddle and cream. There was a Jules type shift in a vibrant green, a saddle and cream striped (OMG)cashmere mockneck ($228), a 2 tone cobalt and lighter blue bubble necklace, and lovely glass stone cobalt and deep green jewelry. There was a fabulous ecru lace embroidered bracelet sleeve top- with a little stretch- very elegant- $98.
Chanel tweed-esque capris in a violet with black and white. One of the loveliest most inspiring collections they have had for a while.

...I snagged a catalog, and will try to post some images. (My primary blog is geared towards knitters- so feel free to stop by if you are interested, but I also have a fledgling fashion blog (www.ontrendorchids.blogspot.com), and I will try to put the pictures there. They are so awesome, I would love to share!

There are more pictures over at her "New J Crew" post that you should check out.

Also, "thanks!" to Nicole, who shared the following response she received from a J.Crew rep about the Brompton Hobo:

"I’m very sorry, but the Collection Brompton Hobo (item 29063) will not be offered in an Espresso brown color this fall. It will return in the Henna, True Black and Rainforest Green colors. A new color will be introduced - Blue Sea (dark blue color). ..."

Lastly, according to many of you, including cashmereandchai (in this post), rynetta PhD (in this post), as well as Nicole, new arrivals are expecting to be available this Thursday, July 19th. Can't wait!

What are your thoughts on the latest arrivals from J.Crew? Are you excited about the upcoming collection? Are you ready for Fall?
