Has anyone bought any of the designer collab pieces such as the J Crew x Altuzarra stuff or the Pamela Love items? I have one of the striped tops from the Altuzarra collection on its way to me but was wondering about the quality. The Pamela Love items launched today but the jeans cost $340, which is a bit steep IMO.

Pamela Love is doing a Crew collab?! Where have I been!?

An SA told me that there will be a 20% sale in store on regular priced items sometime next week. Hope it's true because there's a dress I've had my eye on.

I honestly did not love any of the pieces Altuzarra did for JCrew, they could have been just regular JCrew!! It wasn't anything special, imo. The only thing I like in the Pamela Love collection is the belt, but the price discouraged me from the purchase.

thanks for the review, amee.. i looked at the pictures of the altuzurra on the website, but didn't love them enough for the higher price point. i doubt i'd get anything from the pamela love collection either.

Thank you so much hellokatiegirl and Eclipse!

That would be awesome! I hope it's true!

While I think it makes the store look more interesting, I personally hate when things are mixed together. I prefer shopping online, and if I'm in a store, I want to run in, immediately find what I'm looking for (I typically don't like browsing and lingering for a long time), pay and leave.
When I wanted a black skinny belt I saw in the catalog, it took me 15 minutes of circling the store to figure out that they didn't even have it, because their belts were randomly hung and basically hidden on racks of other clothing.

Same here! It's often too overwhelming for me to shop in stores now because I can't find any of the things I want!

This would be great! Thanks for sharing.

It seems like Jcrew is long overdue for an extra something off! I have been lusting after some sale items and I am patiently waiting for an additional sale. I just hope the items don't sell out in the meantime.

Thanks for sharing this sassy. The article was very interesting, although I feel like many stores now adopt this type of layout.

I also agree with renza that it is confusing to have things in random places throughout the store, and this may actually detract from people purchasing things due to frustration.

I also try to avoid purchasing full price items, especially at Jcrew, because I know most items will be drastically reduced. Therefore, when I walk into the store I bypass the front of the store and head straight to the back where all the deals are!

Same! I have also had really good luck/experiences with Factory pieces, so I kind of do a mix of everything.

Here's a picture of my shorts that came in yesterday!

The pink ones are super bright, perfect for summer! They were only $24.50 a pair, and I was in desperate need of some new shorts so I could not pass them up.

I am DONE buying clothes for awhile now -- anything I want i'm going to just put on my birthday/Christmas lists.

I should be done buying clothes too! Last week I came home and a section of my closet broke! My husband said this is a sign that I need to stop buying clothes! Especially from Jcrew. Last time we were in Jcrew he asked, "Is there anything in here you don't have yet?" I know I probably should stop, but they keep coming out with such great stuff, especially this season. When it goes on sale it's too hard to resist!

BTW I love your pink shorts, great color!

Wow, you look fab once again. Can you share the style # of this skirt? I would like to try to find one. I don't own a red skirt yet and if it fits like # 2 pencil I need to get a 2. I saw in my store but they only had a 0.

i love this on you! LOVE! what a gorgeous dress. and shoes! you styled it perfectly!! i am so happy you got this!!
