Atelier Doré

Ooooh. The tweed coat on the right is killing me. Just what I’ve been looking for.

J’ai adoré cette collection J Crew (d’ailleurs je me suis fais un paperboard sur lequel il y a pas mal de silhouettes issues de cette collection- et du Phillip lim aussi). Mais je trouve que c’est plutôt bien l’attente (c’est le meilleur moment, non ? un peu comme en amour…), le fantasme, la projection…et puis avec le temps, tu peux aussi changer d’avis, préférer autre chose. Bref, moi j’aime bien qu’il y ai un temps pour chaque chose et que chaque saison soit à sa place. Il faut savoir savourer l’instant présent…la vie m’a appris ça !

Habituellement je suis assez zen pour attendre, mais il arrive que je flashe sur une pièce et qu’il me la faille à tout prix, alors dans ce cas là, je précommande!

Much as that J Crew collection is making me drool and wish for cooler temperatures, there’s no way I would pre-order. Who knows how I will be feeling 3 months from now, who knows what size I will be, who knows what my life will be like…? Am I the only one who’s life is so unpredictable? I guess it’s fear of commitment or something, I certainly wouldn’t say it’s a virtue like patience or restraint keeping me from pre-ordering. Whatever it is though, my bank account thanks me.

wishing there were more dresses that hit just below the knee. much more elegant. knees are ugly. my vote is for the multipatterned dress in the center.

Oh My!!! Since I first saw this collection from JCrew, I was hooked! I think it’s my favorite JCrew collection so far! And yay! Finally I can preorder! Thank you Alex for letting us know! xxx

…..only problem….. I have such a hard time deciding….. I could practically preorder the whole collection…….. :-/

Je travaille dans une boutique de vêtements donc je pré-commande environ 50% de ma garde-robe avec une saison d’avance :) Il y a pour moi aussi le plaisir délicieux de l’attente mais parfois la déconvenue quand tu te rends compte que l’objet du désir ne te va pas aussi bien que dans ton souvenir (ou quand tu as pris des kilos en trop).

It’s fascinating how nowadays we want everything right here and right now. This is probably due to the internet that is delivering us dozens of images and information in a split second. However, I try to conjure myself and remember my mother’s words whenever I’m tempted: « patience, my dear, patience »

Im just curious, is pre-ordered items more expensive? by how much?

I like that collection and perfect patterns. I want it. xa

Items sell out even in the pre-order phase so you can’t win either way sometimes! At least it’s easier to cancel the order if you change your mind before it arrives. I pretty much only shop online these days and find pre-order works well especially with a reputable website and friendly staff behind it.

but no prices?

I have already seen the pre fall JCrew collection……to die for!
I save up for September so I will not pre -order, who knows what I will covet by then?
The summer is late, we have had no Spring so all I crave for is sun, beach and tan:-).

I love the patterned long jacket on the left! However, I only ever pre-order on handbags or jewellery. These are things I don’t need to try on, because I have already seen and tried it in another colour or fabrication in-store (always been happy with pre-oders of this nature)… or the description is absolutely spot on in terms of dimensions and material (it almost never is).

Pre-order is something I’d never do otherwise. Occasionally, I will request to be notified of an item that requires trying on before buying… but rarely.

I much prefer waiting for the surprise of what arrives in-store: if I manage to find an item I love in my size, then great. If not – no worries – I am not fussed for very long.
