J.Crew Featured In Harper's Bazaar Magazine

A big "thanks!" to Sweetmint who not only let us know about some of J.Crew's new arrivals being featured in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, but also scanned the images for us to view! (Click on the images itself or here & here to see it larger.)

The first item is the Casette-tweed Marcel jacket (Item 12182; $550.00). J.Crew's website describes the jacket's fabric as "the "cassette" tweed because of the way its lacquered fibers resemble an audiocassette's glossy black tape. We think it rocks too." I have to give J.Crew credit for coming up with a unique product description. With that said, why would I want to spend that much money on something that resembles a cassette tape? ;)

The second image shows two items: the lovely Dazzling-dots Pencil Skirt (item 11804; $158.00) and the Marjorie Metallic Leather Ballet Flats (Item 12659; $98.00). The skirt is gorgeous. Unfortunately, I fear this is the type of skirt (because of the fabric and pencil shape) that you would nead to wear Spanx with. ;) As for the flats, I am happy to see that they are not priced around $130. However, at $98, they seem a bit expensive for the relatively simple design.

What are your thoughts on either items? Have you seen, tried on, or purchased these items? If so, please share with us your review! :) What are your thoughts on the fabric for the jacket and skirt (e.g. are you a fan and love them or do you dislike them)?
