New Janie and Jack is up!

[lrucci]

J&J's new lines are up -
Lasting Love (valentine theme) and Dragonfly for girls
Lasting Love and Start Your Engines for boys
Garden Daisies - girls layette
Digging in the Sand - boys layette

I LOVE Garden Daisies and I'm so excited that J&J's layette goes up to 18 months now. Dragonfly is pretty too, but I don't *love* it at the moment. I'm sure that will change after seeing it IRL.

Off to look some more. Enjoy!

Ah! Beat me to it! I was just coming over to alert the masses. :-) I'm off to look some more too!

Wow, I love the Dragonfly Dream line. I really want to get DD the Patchwork Pants. The ruffled garden dress is beautiful - but I don't think it is practical - we'll be introducing solids at that point and I can imagine the mess. I'm not crazy about the Lasting Love line but I do think the Tiered dress from that line is gorgeous! Garden Daisies in Layette is really sweet as well - want to get the pink ruffled pants and bouquet top.

Tried to embed the pics but couldn't figure it out. Will try to add them later.

Unfortunately, Sarah may be too big to wear most of the daisies line for long (she is fitting nicely into 12-18 month sizes now), but if any of it runs big, we may be in luck. I'm glad Kyleigh will still fit into layette sizes. I love purple and green (and dragonflies!) so I'm hoping to like that line better in person.

I'm so glad I didn't go crazy buying ahead and that Sarah really needs spring clothes. (We do have tons of summer stuff though, so I hope I'm not very tempted by the summer lines.)

There's nothing in Lasting Love that I have to have, but I do like the Dragonfly and Garden Daisies lines a lot. Ava definitely doesn't need anything, so I am going to have to wait until I see the new Hannas to decide for sure as I am going to have to limit myself to only two or three new outfits for spring.

From Dragonfly, I love these pants. I'll probaby pair them with either this purple cardie or one of the tops once I see them IRL:

I love this jumper from GD, but Ava does not look good in yellow, so we'll skip it :(

Instead, I think we'll go with this top and pants -- I am a sucker for ruffles!

Can I just make one tiny b*tch, though? Now that I am going into my second year of baby clothes buying, it is starting to bug me how much the designers just copy old lines over and over (I remember some of you mentioning this before). I love J&J, but the lines are all starting to look similar. The patchwork stuff in DD is exactly like the Cherry Stand line from last summer. Several pieces are similar to the purple line they had last spring (can't remember the name, but I bought a couple outfits from it off eBay).

I am really hoping Hanna comes out with something new and unique. If so, they'll be getting my money instead!

I love the layette line but AG is too big for it now. :(

But, fortunately for me, I also love the Dragonfly line! Yea!! :)

And quite possibly these items:

Unfortunately, the denim overalls would be a bit warm for spring around here so I'd have to get them now if I want them. Also, I have a feeling there may another shirt to go with them because when you click on them to get the details they don't show a coordinating shirt yet. The cardie is cute and would be very practical here but I've found that I really don't like the fine guage knit cardies as well as ones with a more substantial knit. They seem to roll up around the edges after they are washed and I'm not into ironing cardigan sweaters!! LOL!

Can I also say how annoyed I am that they are *finally* coming out again with their adorable ruffle jeans??! Why didn't they do these in the fall so we could have them for lots of outfits?! Grrr. I might go ahead and get them for next winter...but what size to get??

Looks like the boys designers have been hanging out at Gymbo. I don't hate orange but I don't like how Gymboree and now Janie & Jack use it.
If I had a girl I would be all over that patchwork dress. Too cute!

[LoveMyBabyBeans]

I have 3 outfits picked out from the new line. However, there's no way I will end up with all 3, so over the next 2-3 weeks I'll have to try and pick just one favorite. Here are 3 that I like.

and maybe this for warmer weather

Okay, maybe I have 4. And I love this too, but dresses are getting to be a pain now that Andie is on the move.

The layette is pretty, but I like the dragonflies line better. Plus I like the Vintage Blossoms line (the older layette line) better too. The boys line does absolutely nothing for me this time around, although the layette is very cute.

I vote for outfit #1!

[Samraelanelevi]

I love #2~ If Delaney wasn't so skinny I would be all over those pants. According to the size chart she fits in the 12-18 month waist and needs the 4t for length :( Same thing happens with Gymboree :(

My second fav of the sets you listed is #3.

GL and I cannot wait to see pics.

[Joshuasmommy]

I love #2, especially that hat.

[LoveMyBabyBeans]

That's so funny that you guys are voting. Thanks for the help though. I have an outfit from the Winter Cozy line that I ~think~ I am going to return in order to get the new stuff. She just doesn't need more Winter clothing and I'd rather have this more dainty, fresh and Springy stuff than more Winter clothes. It's going to be hard for me to pack up that outfit and ship it back, but we'll see.
