i bit the bullet and got the edie bag online before i kicked myself for missing out on it. this last batch i restricted it to just the collection circle eyelet dress and the bag.

I bought it last year and ended up returning. I had the old version too. It is stuff and uncomfortable, and it was a bit short/boxy for me. If they made it a tad softer and more fitted it would be a great piece. It is not warm at all, and I can't stand jackets without lining. They should add one, it would help. I got a Barbour jacket instead (the vintage beadnell I think) and am much happier with it in terms of warmth and comfort, though the field jacket is a little more stylish.
I agree--I too had the old version and found it cute but uncomfortable--i have broad shoulders and it was like a straightjacket for me. It is machine washable, at least, and it's a little warmer than it looks simply because the fabric's not breathable, but it's not worth the full price (I got mine for like $39.99 when my store was clearing them out). It's definitely useless without a lining--I used mine as a lightweight rain jacket when the temperature was in the 60s and 70s.
Since there don't appear to be reviews on this item... I just got the double-breasted gold-button blazer (21114) in burgundy since my order came today. I was hesitant about ordering it, but it was a great price with the 30% off and it was returnable since it was promo priced. After looking at photos on the model, I was nervous it was going to be too red (I already have a red schoolboy blazer), but it is a gorgeous shade of burgundy similar to a burgundy you'd see on a Burberry piece. The fit is great too since it isn't boxy. And although it is poly/cotton jersey, it is a heavier weight and is so comfy. It feels like a sweatshirt, but looks like a blazer. Hope that helps anyone who's on the fence about it. I highly recommend it.
I wore my poppy viv patent flats for the first time today that I got back in early July as part of 30% off sale ($90.99).
I was just wearing jeans and a white shirt and I went to put on my old standard brown sandals. I stopped myself and grabbed the j crew shoe box instead.
I love them! So comfortable and the perfect pop of color. Such a nice change from round toe ballerina flats that have infiltrated my shoe wardrobe!

Thanks for this review. I ordered this as well and should get it today. I'm hoping to love it. I got the navy.
I love these shoes! They look great on you too. I bought the viv flats last year (they were the matte leather with bows in red) but they were not very comfy for me. I am glad they worked for you! I agree that they are a nice alternative to the round toe ballet flat...I have way too many of those too!
I did the same thing last weekend. I really like the classic styling of the Edie bag and the price was right with last weeks sale. The hardest part was selecting a color! What color did you decide on? I bought it in the cobalt blue color.
Love this outfit! The skirt is very cute!
