JCrew featured in Real Simple October 09

I was browsing through the latest issue of Real Simple and spotted this section on who else? JCrew of course! The article was about this season's best buys at your favorite stores such as Ann Taylor, JCrew, Loft, Banana Republic and the like.

Looks like there are some new items from JCrew that are not yet on the website. Check out the pics below (pardon the grainy iphone photos)!








1. Petal Camisole, $178
2. Opera Coat, $800
3. Thornbush Earrings, $75
4. Mettallic Market Tote,$125
5. Holden Cardigan, $98
6. Bailey ballet flats, $238
7. Harlow dress,$250
8. Stretch-flannel shirt, $98

So far I am loving item #7 The Harlow dress and #1 the Petal Camisole, but am concerned about yet another dry clean item. Errrr.... It's a cute cami with a toilet paper/paper towel kind of twist to it! I would need to see that one in person I think.
What do you think of the new items that are on the way? Do you like? Would you buy any of these?
