J.Crew Featured In In-Style Magazine

A big "thanks!" to Pansy 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 beautiful Crocodile Cocktail Cardigan (Item 14348; $88.00). J.Crew's website describes this three-quarter sleeve cardigan as having a "supersoft cotton in a 14-gauge knit" with an "allover graphic print." I have to say, I love the design and I like the starting price point!

The second item is the lovely Jacquard Treasure Blazer (Item 12231; was $250.00, now $159.99). I can't believe that this jacket just came out and is on sale already! ;) J.Crew describes this jacket as: "This brilliant metallic jacquard fabric was specially created for us from a vintage swatch. It's made from rich cotton/silk/Lurex® metallic threads." I think this jacket is very pretty. My only issue is this jacket also has bracelet sleeves, which I am not a super big fan of.

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 "bracelet sleeves" (e.g. are you a fan or do you dislike them)?
