Sadly had to return the goodwinn purse in camel. The color is not working for me and I wish the bag is thicker or not as flat looking. I also had to return the blue sun shirt, it runs big. Need an XS. Got some good deals from the store though including 2 matchstick jeans, a necklace, wool pants, and two sweaters. Hubby got some shirts too. Very nice deal with addl 40% off

Hi ! Just ordered the Macalister wedge boots ! Anyone have these? Are they comfortable? Just curious, what kind of pants do they look best with? Tia!!
I owned these boots about 3 years ago. They ran about 1/2 too big for me... My feet kept sliding in them! Very cute but mine got destroyed by all of the crocking from my jeans. Then I used suede protector spray and it ruined the color. I donated them
I suggest wearing these with cuffed jeans or skinny corduroys. Do not let the hem of your jeans touch them! I've also seen these styles with thick scrunchy socks with leggings or skinny jeans tucked into the socks.

Thanks for the reply! Well i have a tiny foot so hopefully they wont be to big..lol. So the friction from the jeans rubbed on the shoe? Did it create color transfer? I plan on wearing them with cords or denim, but will cuff then

Yes denim transferred onto my shoes (which were the nut color) and looked green! I'm a true size 6 and they were a little big but it's nothing an insole couldn't fix. I'm a little sad my shoes got damaged $200 down the drain
just make sure you test a small area before spray anything on them. I've been protecting all of my suede shoes and never had a problem before.Is anyone else eyeing the Boucle bomber jacket? I tried it on and it's so cute not sure about it for $200 :-/

Re: comments on quality:
I've had good luck with their Super 120's suiting clothes (a blazer and the city pant, both in super 120's fabric). They've both worn like iron, and the fabric also seems to resist wrinkles quite well and drapes nicely.
Their cashmere pills like crazy, but if you don't mind "shaving" it with a de-piller, it seems to wear well otherwise, and doesn't shrink when you hand-wash it.
I have a couple of J. Crew bags with pebbled leather, and the leather feels great and has also worn well.
I have had bad luck with their merino wool sweaters, which continued to shrink every time that I hand-washed them (cool water, no agitation).
I've found the denim which is closest to 100% cotton wears better than the ones with a larger percentage of synthetics, which tend to wear quicker (at least on me). That said, I'm in love with their Matchstick cut.

Has anyone tried the scallop-trim mini? I have seen a couple reviews and photos online, but I'm wondering if anyone has more thoughts to share.
I tried the heather grey and it's really cute, I am 5'2" and 135# and size 6 sits right at my waist, if I wanted to wear it low slung, which I think it's meant to be that way, I would have needed a size 10. I really loved it, but it was still pricey for how much wear it would get in my closet.
Question regarding the holiday reward, I got a GC in the mail, also recieved an email with a code, I can only use one or the other or they are two separate things?
I always miss out on those gift cards too! I am also curious if you have to be a cardholder to receive one.
Anyway, I haven't been doing a lot of shopping at the regular J. Crew much lately. (Although I have shopped quite a bit at the factory.) These Darby Loafers were my most recent J. Crew purchase. They are super comfy! I took my regular size for those of you who might also be thinking about them.

Beautiful! I love the Darby loafers - always comfortable and a nice change from ballet flats.
Hi Saira,
I finally got around to buying my wife another one of the Double Serge Heather Graphite skirts http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/dresses/PRD~03216/03216.jsp. I had already bought this for her in a size 10 regular and tall (for the added length), but when she wore the regular pencil skirt with a pair of her taller black leather knee high heel dress boots (shown below), while still looking good coming down to the tops (as the skirt is 23 1/2 inches), I thought about trying her it with the 21 1/2 to go with the boots. Per your recommendation, I went on ahead with ordering her a size 12 Petite so that the fit should be the same in the waiste, but for a few inches shorter on the skirt. If it works well for her, I will buy her a black double serge one too like this. Thank you for the advice. It arrives today, so should give an indication of how well this will look. Thank you!
