Super cute outfit. I love your color combinations. Now, I'm following your blog.

It was 30% off of final sale. Now it's 30% off with free s&h. I wonder if they will do 40% off next? Since, it often seems to go that way. Better yet, will I be able to hold out to see?!!? I don't want these 3 items to sell out, so I probably will just bite the bullet.

I have the Tillary tote in tan (SUCH a transitional bag, the tan color makes it perfect for spring/summer, yet the leather allows me to carry it into the fall). I absolutely love it - I was really considering getting the Celine luggage tote until my JCrew catalog came in and the Tillary caught my eye. After seeing this bag at a fraction of the cost, I couldnt bring myself to buy the Celine. I dont mind dropping cash on investment pieces, but I feel like this type of bag is "hot" right now.

I saw Tillary tote in a store in DC in Jan and my first thought was this looks exactly like the Celine!! It's beautiful and you can buy almost 10 Jcrew bags at the same price of Celine!!! LOL!!!

The bag was well made, a little on the stiffer side, but I think it's needed to keep the shape.

I personally like the tan color first, followed by the red and striped canavs.

How is the sizing on there cords. It seems like they have a lot on sale right now but I heard the sizing runs big. Normally, I wear a 24 in J Brand would I fit a 24 in J.crew. By their measuring chart it should be ok...my natural waist is 24 but I don't know how much vanity sizing they have going on. I'm about 5"8 and 108lbs. Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm also in Canada so returning is too costly. Not really worth it.

Hello, hope this isnt too late for you. I got the matchstick cords in my usual 26, and it was too big. It has no stretch in it. The problem was in the waist and thigh area. I had it altered but the shop inky botched it up and made it look like 80's tapered pants. So sad. :-( i would recommend you to size down, especially if you're curvy like me. Ive got thighs! Lol.

Thanks so much. No it's not too late. Looks like I might pass. Sounds like it might be a bit iffy. Too bad they are such great deals! I'll have to make a trip out to the nearest j.crew store (unfortunately not that near). I've been looking at their website lately and it looks like they have some great stuff but I think it'd be better to go in person first.

That's too bad about your cords!
