Here are a few things I like from the newest J Crew catalog.
The theme – Who’s That Girl? They used women “who inspire us every day” – a museum curator, a freelance stylist, a ballerina, an author, some photographers and a mom to be to name a few to be models in the first few pages of the catalog.
Pencil skirt – Crackled Copper Pencil skirt
The mom-to-be, Carolina Palmgren (also a fashion photgrapher) wearing Double-V Dress.I really like that J Crew used a soon-to-be mommy as one of their models – very honest and realistic. Way to go J Crew.
Blakely Dress in Vintage Zebra Stripe (also in Light Ginger & Black)
Here’s the Tie-Dyed Wednesday Skirt again (that I was told would not be made). Hmmm…it does look like it has an elastic waist so I think I’ll pass if it is made.
Cute ballet flats (My eye is on the bottom one – my photo editor was being fussy and I couldn’t save the rotate.)
It’s the Crystal and Pearl Pastiche necklace on a ballet flat. This is so a “J Crew Math” item.
How cute are the kiddos?
And the huh?, questionable, seriously J Crew? item.
Rose Vines Romper – Shouldn’t rompers have legs and not look like a swim suit?
The description – “Think poolside parties and chic beach soirees.”
It is a Nylon/Lycra Spandex blend so maybe it can be worn in the water.
I think these are the March/April roll-out. I know there are some new arrivals coming next week. I got a look at some of the jewelry including the “Gotta-have-it Spring Necklace“, the Crystal Rock Necklace. It’s a cool piece but the stones are really large and it is a heavy necklace. There is also a bracelet that matches that would not fit around my wrist (and heavy as well).
Thanks for sharing these!
I know one thing–this catalog will be a for sure keeper–those "real" women are beautiful and inspiring in the lovely J. Crew clothing!
I am on a budget, but that pencil skirt is so pretty.
Thank you for giving us a preview!
OMG!! I am SO excited to see these pic's——-esp. having a preggo mom as a model and the dress to "fit a bump"—yay!! thank you jcrew!! i am 21 weeks pregnant and have been wanting a cute spring dress—these look perfect. I can't see the price, how much is that dress?
Thanks for scanning and posting these. I love both skirts (I'm with you that I hope the tie dye skirt is going to be sold) and the knit dress. A romper/bathing suit? Really? What direction does that represent? 🙂 Oh, and the flats – so many to choose from? 😀
Thanks everyone.
It really is a great catalog Dina.
Mrs.Anketell – The dress is $78 and will come in Light Berry, Dark Pewter and Shadow.
Thank you so much for posting! I hope someone posts the whole thing soon since I rarely get catalogues. I'd love to see descriptions and item numbers so I can have my personal shopper order! I'm with dinagideon, that pencil skirt is so pretty and it's calling to me.
That romper is krazy. Thanks for sharin these pics!
LOVING the "real" models …. especially the pregnant one, since I am almost 9 months!! AH! But I am going to have to check out this roll out next week …. pick me up some pieces for once the little guy is here. 🙂 Hopefully it is a good one! Thanks for the images, I love seeing these early!!!
Do you know if these are the items in next week's roll out or do we have to wait until March? TIA
Great selection from J. Crew!
math teacher – I'm not sure if it any of these items will be in this roll-out or March & April. The catalog was for March 2010.
Desert Flower – If my scanner will start cooperating I'll see if I can post a link to the whole thing.
I love the Zebra dress!!!! Of course all these fab items will probably come out once our Rewards cards expire on 03/15! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Audreybella. I have a code I can use on preorders so I'm dying to see what there is! In the meantime, the pencil skirt and the zebra dress you pictured are on my list (although I think the dress might be too short). I appreciate it!!
I called my store and they didn't get the catalogue yet. They expect it Monday.
Thanks for posting these pics!!!
Oh my goodness that is a thigh-unfriendly romper. You're right – it looks like an old timie bathing suit!
And yes, those flats are begging to be math-ed! hee hee hee, is it wrong that I kind of dig them? But just a little bit!! (:
Wouldn't it be great if JC did maternity?
OMG-Thanks for the post of the upcoming collection. I can't wait until Monday!
I love these pictures! I am especially drawn to that pink patterned skirt! Wow – I think I need that one … I can just see myself sporting that all summer long!

Thanks for sharing! Oh man, I am abolutely coveting the Blakely zebra dress.
Never thought the Lady Gaga-no-pants trend would make it's way to J crew!!! The rest of the looks I'm loving though. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love the copper pencil skirt. Its very cute. I like the way how its styled in the picture. At first I was thinking it would be too dressy for work but it looks like it could be a good work outfit.
Love the Blakely dress! Wonder if it will be in store.
Thanks for sharing!!!
