**This post will be text and image heavy.
Who wants to see a few images from the January catalog? I was able to get one while in the store yesterday, where it is down to slim pickin’s, let me tell ya. Even the full price items were running a bit bare. It was the same at Anthropologie. I wasn’t able to scan this and had to use my camera so the colors aren’t as bright as they appear in the catalog.
Garment-Dyed Twill: #62443, $108 – Festival Green, Blue Grotto, Light Citron, Bright Papaya, Neon Persimmon
Ankle Stretch in Classic Rinse: #46240, $125
Ankle Stretch in White Denim: #59424, $98
You’ve seen me in the Light Citron here. I am not sure if the Warm Jade will be an in-store only or will show up later in the month online. I caught a glimpse of the Bright Papaya in-store and it looks like a great color for my skin tone.
Ripplestitch Sweater in Stripe: #62111, $88 – Ruby/Chalk, Shallow Sea/Navy, Navy/Chalk, Heather Grey/Navy
Cutler and Gross Round Sunglasses Collection: #52953, $495
Toothpick Jean in Festival Green
Jayne T-Strap Ballet Flats: #57117 – Bronzed Beige, Black
Tillary Purse: #63033, $148 – Warm Sienna, Collegiate Green, Dark Poppy
The Ripplestitch Sweater description states: ‘Like daughter, like mother. Due to popular demand, we took one of our most popular crewcuts sweaters and updated it just for you.’
The Jayne T-Strap Flats look very cute and the t-strap seems to have some sort of embellishment on it.
Keeper Chambray Popover: #44875, $78
Pleated A-Line Skirt in Ashbury Floral: #61602, $198, Silk, Fully lined – Bright Blue
Biella Metallic Penny Loafers
You’ve seen me in the Perfect Shirt and Jules Dress in this print. It doesn’t state the length of the skirt but it looks to be a midi.
High-Waisted Buckle Short: #60118, $68 – Shadow
Cashmere Shell & Cardigan in Heather Henna
Tillary Purse – Collegiate Green
Bubble Necklace (It’s back in more colors!): #92687, $150 – Turquoise
More colors of the ever popular Bubble Necklace. I am loving the Tillary Purse in Green too!
No. 2 Pencil Skirt
-Double-Serge Cotton: #59369, $110 – Natural, Citron, Black, Warm Jade, Casablanca Blue
-Basket-Weave Tweed: #63598, $128 – Grass Green, Marine Blue
-Waterfloral Collection: #60160, $228 – Glamour Pink
Now, I need another pencil skirt like I need a new pair of shoes but if I had to pick only one thing I would grab the cotton in Warm Jade. It speaks to me and is saying “AudreyBella, buy me first.”
The Downtown Field Jacket: #19034, $148 – Mossy Brown, Black
Cashmere V-Neck Sweater: Heather Blush
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Basket-Weave Tweed: Grass Green
Viv Flats: Henna
Edie Purse
Shrunken Fisherman Sweater: #41313, $88 – Beechwood, Cerise, Byzantine Blue
Minnie Pant in Stretch Twill: #18850, $79.50
Bubble Necklace: Either Coral or Papaya
Drea Patent Peep-Toe Pump: #64452, $198 – Neon Peach
The Shrunken Fisherman Sweater was one of my favorites from the early Fall. I had the Beechwood in my closet for several months and just wore it recently with my Navy Flair Skirt. Absolutely love it. Now, I can’t wait for the Byzantine Blue. I’d love to find it in White. Maybe that will be brought back later in the Spring.
So the Drea Peep-Toe Pumps are not quite the Joley Peep-Toe but the colors look gorgeous. I have a Kate Spade pump in a similar color of the Byzantine Blue but I’d love to see the Neon Azalea.
Drea Patent Peep-Toe Pump: #64452, $198 – Neon Peach, Wild Mushroom, Casablanca Blue, Black, Neon Azalea
Lucca Suede Sandals: #37224, $198 – Apricot Mist, Heritage Green, Soft Fuchsia, Navy, Espresso
Jackie Pullover: #65341, $65 – Canvas, Creamy Peach, Byzantine Blue, Warm Jade, Bright Violet, Vibrant Flame, Navy, Black
So the Jackie is coming in a pullover. I guess the popularity of the Tippi Sweater convinced TPTB to bring it in a cotton. The Warm Jade and the Canvas would be my first two picks.
The Tillary Collection
Bucket Bag: #63024, $198 – Warm Sienna, Dark Poppy (no Green! boo hoo!)
Purse: #63033, $148 – Warm Sienna, Collegiate Green, Dark Poppy
The Bucket Bag reminds me of the (and I’m dating myself) Dooney and Burke buckets that were so popular waaaaay back when. I love the green and wish it came in the bucket bag. The red looks very striking as well. I’d love to see it IRL.
Café Capri
Solid: #57064, $79.50 – Warm Jade, Casablanca Blue, Black, Natural, Desert
Italian Basket-Weave
Collection: #60162, $228 – Glamour Pink – It’s on Net-a-Porter
here.
Green is my favorite color if you haven’t guessed and this Warm Jade looks amazing. I really can’t wait to see it IRL. I’ve only see the Casablanca Blue in-store so far.
Blythe Blouse in Silk: #37871, $98 – Alabaster, Neon Azalea, Maraschino Cherry, Fiesta Purple, Royal, Black
Café Capri in Italian Basket-Weave
Tillary Bucket Bag: Dark Poppy
I wish I could have captured a better image of the Bucket Bag in Dark Poppy. It looks to be a gorgeous red in the catalog. I hope it’s the same IRL.
Jules Dress in Waterfloral Collection: #60743, $285 – Glamour Pink
Biella Patent Loafers
The description says this Jules Dress is in the basket-weave cotton, like the Café Capri and No. 2 Pencil skirt in this print. This print looks amazing and almost tie-dye-ish.
Of course, this isn’t the entire catalog and only looks to be a glimpse of what Resort/Spring 2012 will bring. I’m not sure when we will see these, if it’s tomorrow or in a few weeks. There were Classic ballet flats and Cece ballet flats in various bright colors. Shorts and button-down shirts in new Spring colors too.
What do you think of the new items?

Thanks for this, audreybella! I am in trouble, I liked at least a couple of things. And it;s not the Ashbury floral skirt! 😀
Thanks for posting this! Love the fresh colours, and the continuation of classics-with-a-twist styling! d
J. Crew, why must you continue to pull the dollars out of my wallet??!!
Thanks for putting this post together, there are so many things that are pretty and tempting, plus I got a few outfit ideas from these pics so I know this is going to be a good catalog for me to get my hands on.
I bought a pair of kelly green pants at H&M Monday and that pic with the burgundy striped top and t-strap flats has my name written all over it.
Thank you for doing this! I saw (bought) the green toothpicks today. They also have a new frog necklace and bracelet (with resin chain links) and a very pretty striped pleated skirt
Thanks for posting! I am so excited about the pull-over Jackie, because I can't wear wool
Thank you for posting!
Thanks for Sharing!
Thanks for scanning! I love the new print on the Jules dress & hoping there are blouse or top options as well. The peep toes are cute and the new bags-could be trouble. I'll be online tonight to see what else is new.
So nice of you to put all these images on your blog! Thanks. I'm thinking I'm safe though. Nothing I need, or I already similar items in my closet. I have the original turquoise and papya bubble necklaces and they are summer staples. So glad to see them back.
Great post AudreyBella! So nice of you to share the images with us. I am loving the new pencil skirts and the Jackie pullover looks promising. Did you try any of the items or were they available yet? Looking forward to IRL photos.
THANK YOU for the JCrew-fix!!
I've been hunting around the JCrew website tonight trying to catch a sneek-peek of new items. I am interested in the Jackie pullover too, and I love blue so I'm excited to see what they release for the first six months of 2012. Looks good!
Thanks for sharing! A Pullover Jackie?! OMG I die! I'm really looking forward to the new arrivals 🙂
Ah, I'm going to live in the Jackie pullovers, that's how I wear the cardigans anyway.
Thanks for sharing!!! A couple pairs of shoes are calling my name.
Happy New Year! (if I didn't already say so)
