Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopped by a J.Crew store this past weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SPRING & SUMMER sale, or to see some new SUMMER arrivals {sigh!} in person, maybe you might be willing to share that with us in this post. In particular, if you could share with us a few of the noteworthy items that are available, at what prices, and potential sizes the store is carrying (as well as the store location)- that would be fantastic!

Also, please let us know if your local store was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

  1. i did :) i found some cairo studded sandals in my size hidden away the clearance section... the only ones left! I've been coveting these for a long while!
    SO... all clearance in the store was an additional 20% off. The stipulation? FINAL SALE. Boo.
    I didn't mind because I knew I'd be keeping the sandals - but it certainly discouraged me from buying anything else.

  3. Ema, they were listed at 39.99, so same as online I think? I got them ... circa $32.00 with the 20%, but nobody mentioned how long the promo was going on. Hope that helps!

  4. I went to Paramus store and got a Hockney Satchel in brown for $63.99 final sale. The leather is yummy and soft and it is great size, finally not too big. The chain is pretty heavy though and the bag is slouchy once you take the stuffing out. I put in a piece of cardboard in the bottom to give it some shape. At this price I love it! They had quite a few left.

  5. 20% FS at my store, like everyone else. Did anyone notice whether the August catalog is out? Forgot to look.

    Did the Paramus store have any other colors of the Hockney satchel? Thanks for the review - and congrats on the super deal! :)

  8. History Teacher, I did not ask but I believe they only had them in brown. I think other colors may be online only.

  9. I just got the Hockney Tote for 149 + 20% off from Indianapolis store (phone order.) Crossing fingers I like it, haven't seen it IRL!

  10. I picked up a beaded tee and a belt both marked down + 20% off, in the Rock Center store in NYC. They had alot of good stuff in the sale section, but my kids were with me so I couldn't really try anything on. It was my daughter's 12th birthday and the last thing she wanted to do was watch me shop! We had just come from the Today Show and we actually got on TV a little bit! Yahoo!

  11. I went to the store in Century City (Los Angeles) and found the tees to be off 20% and the tanks were 2 for $20, but you had to buy 2. The shirts I was looking for were there, but not in my size. Will have to wait and order online. The store was so crowded on a Sunday!

  12. I found (and loved) the tortoise printed patent peep toes. My only problem? The size 7's fit through the footbed, but my toes were so, so crunched in the toe box. I feel like I walk most normally in the 7's, though. Since they're so pricey, I wanted to get the best fit for my money, so I also ordered the 7.5's, thinking they'd be a better fit, but they fit too loosely! While they don't slip off my feet, they still feel a little loose and there's a gap at the heel. Is anyone else between sizes with some of their JCrew shoes? Does anyone have any advice on whether I should go with the too snug in the toe 7's or the a little loose 7.5's? Thanks for any insider points! (Great blog, by the way!)
