J.Crew June online new arrivals were posted on the website today! Since I live near a concept store, I was able to try on and review few of the items already. Here are the links to previously reviewed items:

From the items above, I love the chambray shirt and Java tunic dress. Here are few more new items that caught my attention:
Of course I love the Valentinas and the green is beautiful. The nude color is also pretty.
I do like this bracelet for summer, it looks like something from KJP but the price, ouch!

That's all folks!
What are your favorites?
Have you ordered anything or are you done with your summer shopping?
Please share, it would be no fun without you!!!
Thank you for all your great reviews! I love the tunic on you. A word of caution about JC suede-a few years ago I had a navy(JC) sweater transfer color on to a pale suede(JC) handbag as well as last winter my Edie calf hair bag left a big smudge on the front of an ivory wool blazer. I will say this for JC customer service, they sent a new suede bag(I had a very nice PS at the time), but with the calf hair Edie, they told me I must have spilled a chemical solvent on it to cause the transfer. Whatever! I am highly suspect of that bright blue staying colorfast. Thankfully, none of my suede Kate Spade bags have had any problems.
ReplyDeleteHi David, thanks for the warning. I usually had the opposite problem, my denim rubbing off on my light suede bag, did not think it could be othe rway but you are right.
DeleteGreat reviews!
ReplyDeleteI love the Valentinas but loathe patent shoes, fingers crossed non patent ones appear sometime, I'll treat myself to a pair before Christmas, they are so comfy and the perfect height for me now.
ReplyDeleteHi AJC
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your reviews! WOuld you say the Pom Pom COnfetti top runs TTS? Do you recall how it compares in fit to the Ultra eyelet shell? Looks like they have similar cut.
TIA!
I would say it fits TTS and about the same as eyelet shell with I think more room in the chest. Eyelet top gave me slight uniboob, but not this one. I think part of the reason is the neckline, which I like much better here.
DeleteThat tunic dress looking amazing on you, love the pattern. I have tried on so many of their trousers but they don't look good on me, shame because I love the patterns. Just bought a green sweater and a mint cardy from them, so happy with that
ReplyDeleteALW, I heard some bloggers like the fit of those pants better than other cafe capris, so you may want to give them a try.
DeleteI tried the 5" shorts in arrowhead ikat and they were nice but I'll see if they hit deep sale. I don't like them enough to buy them any time soon. I also tried the linen colorblock sweater. It's totally sheer, I don't know how we're supposed to wear that, or where. I really liked it otherwise, great colors and shape and slouch. I guess a cami underneath, but who wants to do that? I bought the dotted chambray perfect shirt, but other than these things, nothing else really caught my eye this time.
ReplyDeleteThanks cate, I will wait for sale also but I think the print is great. I say no to sweaters that require a cami, it is ridiculous.
Deletethinkong about the linen colorblock tee - as it happens, I buy bras in different colors (same bra, same size, but different colors), so I have an almost-navy bra and a medium blue bra. I haven't seen the tee yet, do you think one of these bras would work so I wouldn't need to add a cami? I always suspect the "add a cami" thing is JC's way of making the consumer buy an additional item, so on principal I'd rather buy an extra bra.
ReplyDeleteI think the same color bra would work but I am afraid you'd still see the belly area. Yes, J.Crew even wants us to buy a cami to go under cami..
Deletethanks, autocorrect, I wrote "on principle" because I meant "on principle."
ReplyDeleteI own the original confetti top in white. It did not have the exposed zipper and has a cool pull tab/string to help one zip themselves up...LOVE. If you missesd the original though glad they have a trendier update of the top.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the zipper but I will wait for deep sale.
DeleteThe Java tunic looks better on you than on the model. I love the chambray shirt and don't get me started on the green Valentina's !I didn't shop today as these our on my wishlist and will wait for a sale.
ReplyDeleteThanks again
Thanks Marsha! I am trying to refrain from buying anything summer.
DeleteI love your loves too and decided to get the polka dot chambray shirt. Good thing since my size is now backordered. You also look great in the pom pom top and printed pants. Heavy sigh ... I'll probably have to get that if it goes to a decent price. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this polka dot shirt maybe one of the best items this year. I did buy it and already wore it twice.
DeleteThank you so much for the reviews. I know you said in another post that you've been busy, but I've been missing your posts these last couple days!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cate! I wish I could blog more often, I have several post started but my hubby likes to have an evening with me for a change and I should not take that for granted, lol.
