J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Bourbon&Pearls, as well as GigiOfCa (in this post), c.angela (in this post), life as a cat (in this post), & Irina, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website today (click here to view online).



There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).



J.Crew has also updated their site with some noteworthy changes:

• Unfortunately, J.Crew is no longer posting their catalogs. (Although, we knew this from the last update. I just had hoped they changed their mind and included it again.)
• The upper right hand corner displays an option to change country (United States, Canada, Japan, and United Kingdom) as well as currency.
• You can calculate your state tax and apply a promotional code at checkout before logging in now.
  
  
• Free shipping on orders of $175 without a code. J.Crew is offering flat-rate shipping of $8.95 for all orders too! It is applied automatically at checkout, which is kind of nice. This will be a constant as they shared on the "Help-Shipping and Handling" page:
  
  "We're excited to introduce flat-rate shipping for $8.95 and free shipping for qualifying orders of $175 and up. Free shipping applies to jcrew.com online orders shipped via ground shipping and totaling $175+ after applicable discounts and before shipping, handling and taxes are added. J.Crew Gift Cards do not count toward the $175 order total. Orders of $174.99 or less will be shipped within the United States at a flat rate of $8.95. Qualifying orders totaling $175+ and including shipments to multiple addresses will receive free shipping. Orders of $174.99 or less shipped to multiple addresses will be charged $8.95 for each individual shipment."
  
  

There is also one massive update to the Final Sale section (click here to shop online). Over 1700+ items for Women, and 460+ items for Men.



I am off to check out the new Fall arrivals now... In general, this is one of their better Collections in recent years. I am loving the shapes (puff sleeves!), longer silhouettes (hello knee length skirts!) and colors (I kneel before heather majestic purple!) for Fall. This is what J.Crew does best and I am happy to see them return to it!



Loving! I own too many Winter coats, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over the Double-cloth Townhouse Trench (Item 49612; $350.00). {gasp!} It is gorgeous! And I am happy to see the return of the shirtdress with the Blythe Shirtdress (Item 47714, $178.00).



Could have been great! Oh J.Crew, you make the incredible Teddie dress (Item 47465, $198.00) and add an exposed zipper in the back. Why? Just when you started getting me again, you pull something like that.



J.Crew, you use to make pants that fit me. But in the past few years you and I have not worked out in that department. The Foundry Pant (Item 50160; $158.00) is a perfect example. What is up with the saggy crotch area? And the back view isn't that great either. You can do better than this. Much better.



Really? Who came up with the Sequin Fanfare Bag (item 49265, $498.00) over at J.Crew? Because I would like to know the back story on it. (You know it is probably good.) It looks like a hot, galactic, mess. The worst part is that it doesn't even look expensive! Maybe it looks better in person. Who knows, I might change my mind. But right now, no thank you.



What items are you most excited about and why? Which items are you surprised (or not surprised) to see? Which items did you hope would be included? Were you expecting a bigger roll-out today? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)
