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?

New Jewelry at my B&M

Stopped at my local B&M on the way home from work today and here are some new pieces of jewelry I saw.

Salesman called this piece ' The Acorn Necklace', tho, I'm not sure if that is the technical name.
This necklace was $55. I tried it on but it was not spectacular. I did not really love anything in this case but thought the one on the far right was VERY Interesting. It is in the style of various baubles but instead, it is a bunch of lockets. Next time I'm in the store I will need to try that on.



Pictured below is the Horseshoe charm necklace, this is actually pretty cute in person. It is $48.00 item 19430. To the right looks like fall version of resin chain necklace similar to spring/early summer tortoise shell pattern chain necklace.



The necklace below looks like another 'statement necklace'. I have not seen this on the website or in catalog.



This case had a very interesting grayish blue ribbon & bauble necklace. It doesn't look like this piece is on the website yet.



This is not jewelry but it's the Nottingham Ankle Boots
Item 16940. One of the shoes I'm planning to pick up on Aug 23rd JCA event! It looks so much better IRL! The website shows two colors in dark slate and dark mushroom. This one seems like a rich gray color to me. I'm wondering if this is a retail store only version? Regardless, I think I'm going for this version. It's soooooooo pretty!



Overall, I thought the jewelry was okay. There wasn't anything I just had to have NOW. :/
I am hoping there will be more interesting pieces coming out soon.

What do you think of the new jewelry so far? Are you planning on picking up any new pieces from the JCrew fall collection?
