J Crew has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy but there is still considerable turmoil within the company. Four CEOs in four years...Yikes!! I hope a new CEO, who will stay with the company for more than a few months, can put J Crew on a more forward path.

not sure if this would be relevant, but this article about Philipp Green gives a good overview of the timings and his business approach... wonder why he's still "sir".

Andrea - Let's hope J.Crew can turn things around indeed.

nemosmom - I saw that too, thank you. And thank you also for the link to the Trevor Project article.

Minaminu - Hm I am not impressed :-((

Thank you for these great links!

Don't know if this article will fit what you want but thought I'd pass it along in case. It's a breakdown of what makes a good cashmere sweater and what doesn't, which for purpose, how to wash and care for. Also the yak sounds interesting. Also includes a small discount code if anyone fancies anything. I love anything to do with warmth.:D

Also has a pretty extensive size range.

Here's a couple, Inge:
the first is a calendar with female scientists as princesses

the second is a database of bloggers by their size/measurement, for folks who are interested in finding someone the same size for outfit and shopping inspiration.

Shevia or JAileen, can you tell us the gist of that article?

Inge, perhaps you could remind people about paywalls when you put out the call every other week, just a gentle suggestion that people give a short sketch of articles that others might not have access to.

FASHINTERN, some sites, like the NYT the last time I checked, will let you simply register in return for a weekly article or a monthly number of articles.

Vildly, true enough. If someone saved up their freebies for this kind of article, they could read the ones posted here. But that’s not everyone’s top priority. For me, a brief blurb about an article helps me choose whether to use part of my allotment for a particular article or not.

Oh good one, Naz and slim cat!

L'Abeille - This is the first I've heard of the blogger index, thanks.

Jaime - Hah! That's amazing.

Carla - So fun:-)

Fashintern - Good idea. Although there are some websites where you can read some articles for free for a little while before they disappear behind a paywall (Business of Fashion for example), and the person who posts it in Link Love can't predict that of course.

I'm closing the thread now, thank you again so much for all these marvelous links!
