I saw the new arrivals at J.Crew last Wednesday and have several try-ons to share over the next few days. The high-light was the Tippi Sweater in Embellished Bee. It’s really cute and fits TTS. Surprisingly, I really liked the Sammie Pant in Polka Dot. That also fit TTS but I could have probably used a Petite size in the polka dot. Today, I will share some of the bags that were in-store. I am really pleased that so many saturated colors are being offered this Fall.

This is a really beautiful bag IRL. There’s a small coin purse in front and a large pocket in the back. Inside there is contrasting cloth lining with three additional pockets. There’s also a luggage tag and key holder/dongle inside. J.Crew is calling the small front pocket a cardholder. Maybe they mean for a metro or store rewards card but certainly not for a credit or debit card.

I rarely use cash these days so I don’t know if I’d use this as an actual coin purse. It’s also really small, fitting only a small amount of coins inside. I’d probably use it to store additional store rewards cards, like my Anthro card, or even some hair ties. I love all the colors but I am partial to the calf hair.

~ Signet Bag in Italian Leather – Deep Pewter & Cobalt Sea shown, also Cypress Olive/Dark Wine/Festival Red/Roasted Chestnut/Black ~
I really wasn’t expecting my store to have these bags so I was surprised to see three different colors. The Deep Pewter is a dark gray IRL with a contrasting ivory key fob. It’s a bit bigger than I expected but the width is smaller than the crossbody I was using that day. I like that there’s a little more depth than my current crossbody.

You can see the bag hits a little lower on me than the one I was using. But you can adjust the length on the strap. It looks to be a good size once you have it on, and not too small. It also comes in Collection Colorblock Italian Calf Hair and a Collection Colorblock Leopard Calf Hair.
These are all really nice for the first set of Fall arrivals. I hope that means that Holiday will have some great clutches and going-out bags!
