FYI — A Rebecca Minkoff boutique begins on Gilt at 9am PST. Looks like it’s mostly clothes, like this top:

In this post on The Mothership, jcrewlove mentioned that she tried the scalloped zipper cardigan. I quoteth:
“However- maybe new- I saw a scalloped zipper cardigan (full stack of them) and I about died because I want this so bad but I can’t find xs or small anywhere…. There is a new version of it $98 I believe. I saw grey and black. I tried it on but IMO the fabric is horrible compared to the last version. Very thin cropped arms and boxy!”
Jcrewlove in the scalloped zipper cardigan – a possible re-release of the one I (gigi) reviewed in this post. Jcrewlove said that these are the sizes she usually takes in J Crew items and they fit well. Except she felt the cardigan fit a little odd. My guess is that it feels cropped on someone w/a medium or longer torso. I think that was the intent on this.
Sweater (XS): J Crew scalloped zipper – possible redux
Pant (0): Femme camo Delancey pant
Thanks, jcrewlove!
If you want to review an item and don’t have a blog, I’ll be happy to post your pics. Provide the photo, a photo of the tag unless you have a stellar & reliable memory, and any other noteworthy qualities you with to share. It’s helpful if your height, the size you’re wearing in the item & if it’s your usual size, yadda. Email: gigiofca at gmail. And it’s listed somewhere on the right-hand side of the blog.
Apparently there are new styles added or being added to final sale. You may need to click on products to see if they’ve been marked down. Perhaps the system is still updating. So far I’ve only noticed the glimmer cardigan. I’ve tried it and really loved it. It has the too tight sleeve issue which is a recurring theme this season. On the upside, it’s like a little bomber…that shimmers. We are OBSESSED with it. Just kidding. I just had to throw that in there since J Crew uses the word on every other product descriptor.
Are you experiencing issues w/tight sleeves or other noteable fit issues w/J Crew this year or season? How do you feel about items being re-released or re-issued?
Chime in…

Gigi, I read the jcrewlove comment on the JCA yesterday but I don't think it's a re-edition (my store had one yesterday and looked exactly the same. The price on the tag is not an indication as the stores received it very late and possibly it never got marked down). The fabric feels different in the black: for some reasons the htr stone color is softer (also in other items like tees). And the style is very cropped on me and as you know I am petite (I have the black in xs).
Ema – Thanks for chiming in. I think it's the same cardigan, but maybe they had more produced…? My store definitely sold out of them and had a new row of black ones in the store. I suppose they could have been somewhere in backstock or shipped from another store. I forgot to get the style# from the sweater.
Who knows.
What about those ridiculously short new brocade skirts. Yikes.
