Luckily for us, tweedybird went to the event and shared with us her thoughts:
I went to the J Crew cardmember event tonight at the Madison Avenue / 79th Street store featuring Jenna Lyons and a preview of the holiday collection. Anyway, I must have had huge expectations because I was very disappointed. The store was pretty sparse, with few actual shoppers. It appeared that more than half the people present were J Crew employees (dressed very chicly but they all seemed a little standoffish as they were all talking amongst themselves in groups).I was also hoping to see more new items (a sneak preview of things to come in a new collection net yet in stores would have been very cool), but the things in store were largely the same items I've already seen. Or so it seemed.
Anyway, aside from a 15% off discount all purchases that evening, glasses of champagne and very light passed appetizers it was like any other night. Guests were presented with a prettily-wrapped gift (chunky gold bracelet), which was very nice and appreciated.
Forgot to mention that there were some visual delights in the store, such as a table of fluffy spearmint-colored cashmere sweaters and accessories as well as some really gorgeous fitting rooms. Also, I saw some painted (they looked tie-dyed, sort of) Elizabeth halters. Pretty and one of a kind, but a bit pricey at $250 (if I remember correctly).
"Thanks!" to tweedybird for her great review of the event. It sounds as though not too much was revealed (in terms of new and upcoming items), although receiving one of those bracelets does sound fantastic! :)
If you attended tonight's event at the Collection Store, please share with us your review too! :)
