"Thanks!" to Anon at 3:41 PM (in this post) who suggested a wonderful post topic: to list some of our favorite J.Crew Collection pieces that we have (or seen in person) and review them. I think this is a great idea, since so many of us have been able to purchase some Collection pieces, at some amazing prices, during the holidays.
The Sean Bag in Tulip (Item 99785; Regular $268.00, now $149.99)-- I am not a huge fan of the resin links for the handle/ strap, however the purse itself is gorgeous! The "smooth, supple and specially wax-treated" leather really is smooth- I have found myself petting it more than once. (Weird, I know! But it is that smooth.) ;) I also found the rich Tulip color is very beautiful in person- a great way to add a "pop of color" to any outfit. I appreciate that the purse is lined- which many J.Crew bags are not. :) I also found that although the bag is small, it is big enough to carry my wallet (which is not thin), a cellphone, and a small makeup bag.
The Frankie Bag in Guave Rhubarb (Item 96818; was $395.00, now $129.99)-- I waited a long time to get this bag and it was worth it as I love it! This bag is just the right color (e.g. can be used in any season; incidentally the color in person is like the color shown in the image) and just the right size (e.g. big enough to hold lots of items including a paperback book, but still a shoulder bag). The leather itself is beautiful, and it is great at maintaining its shape. I love that the bag has a zipper- which provides me that extra level of security I prefer. The only drawback to the bag is that it is not lined (and I am not sure why that is- it really should be).Another J.Crew Collection piece that I really like is the the Metallic Giraffe Day Coat (click here to read a review).
What are your favorite J.Crew Collection items? What are some of the reasons behind your choice(s)? If you purchased or have seen those items in person, please share with us your review. :)
