Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this 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 stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SPRING 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 is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!

  4. Planning on going on Sunday. MY PS called and said that they had a markdown on the fanfare jacket and cardigan, and pencil skirt. The gardenshade skirt is on sale for 79.99, better deal online with 30% off if you know your size and love the skirt! Hoping to see some new items as well. @ Rose I am definitely hooked on Madewell now just received 3 momento charms in the mail including the Looking glass one. I love them, thanks for the review!!!

    1. Dear FFM, I wondered abt the advisability of that.. You'll remember occasions when uunpleasant outcomes resulted due to discussion here. Just a thought.

  6. I'm actually going to the mall to return/exchange some stuff I ordered at madewell so I'm going to stop by j.crew to see if they have any of the new roll out items. This will probably be my last shopping trip for a little bit. Moving and need to get stuff for the new apartment.

  7. Nope, I did enough damage online this morning ... the stars aligned in the oddest way and a bunch of items I'd been stalking FORVER popped back in my size. It was very, very weird. And on top of it, my PC started shutting down in the middle of my order, LOL! And I couldn't stop it. That was no good.

    So in the end I managed to grab almost everything I wanted ... and after I submitted the order, I saw the Elodie striped sleeveless blouse had popped back in my size. For $42. I couldn't miss it.

    So I tried calling CS to have it added to my order, since I was within the 1-hour modification window -- denied! She said she'd have to cancel the order I submitted and re-enter everything, and I wasn't going to take that chance.

    So then she offered to place a new order for me and waive the shipping "as a courtesy." I was very surprised. And I think she wasn't going to take the extra 30% off until I asked about it, and I had to give her the code over the phone. I don't do much on the phone with the Crew, so the whole experience was kind of weird.

    But I'm over the moon to have grabbed the Elodie, the black tartan perfect shirt, a red sherpa zip hoodie, stretch summweight chino shorts, a striped three-quarter sleeve boatneck tee (bermuda sand cerise) and some smaller odds and ends, like socks and watch straps.

    Next week it's going to be Crew-a-palooza up in here!

  8. Factory items are 30% off, prices marked online plus SHOPNOW for an additional 30% off.

  9. @Gigi I just went to factory and bought a few things lol

  10. I am pretty sure they do the promo price thing on purpose... probably not something they are going to stop because some customers know the promo codes work on top of the promo price. I have noticed that many of the promo priced items' next stop is further markdown and final sale.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Not going. Living through those who do!
    Thanks FFM for making the list of the promo items.
    And sub!

  12. If anyone sees the Palm Springs beaded necklace in stores this weekend I would love to know where to find it. I missed it during the last promo and I stalked the sale section this week to see if it would pop back to no avail. I plan on calling later today to see if they will track is down for me but I expect a lecture on how they can not find sale items. TIA!

  13. Lots of new sale items online. Including two things I purchased at FP 17 days ago... Heading back to the store to try to get an adjustment (tags still on... that should work, right?).

    ReplyDelete
  14. Think I'll hold off a little bit longer. I still have my rewards card to use, but I want to wait for more new rollouts and hopefully a promo on FP items!

  15. Wow Elaine what an inspiring article. I was particularly moved to read the following from the wrier's interview of JL: "But despite the high demand of [sic] the product and the spotlight she finds herself under, she hasn't forgotten the value of quality.".

    Wow.

  16. Does anyone know if stores are offering any additional % off on sale items this weekend? TIA! :)

  17. Fred, bwaaah. I thought JCAs would get a good giggle out of that. :P

  18. Elaine,
    Thanks for the link. Fun to read. (esp. the comments following the article...)

  19. BeyondtheBlue, I was in the store at lunch and there was no additional % off BUT it is not final sale. Which is great because I bought 2 cafe capris then ended up decided I needed the Tall and ordered them online instead. And in a third color. I have lost my mind.

  22. Bought the Joni jeans today, marked down to $79.99; used my rewards card and got them for a song. Then came home to see they're on sale online & I could've gotten an additional 30% off. Sigh.

    If someone published a style book of outfits worn by Jenna, Marissa, and Michelle Obama I'd buy it in a second. I always think Jenna's outfits are striking and inspiring; same with Marissa. 99% of the time I think MO looks AMAZING.

  24. OT: Interesting in a magazine I got today that Drew Barrymore made the worst dressed list in her Ashby floral print dress. I believe there was a post with her photo from a different magazine a while back....

  25. I visited B&M today and lots of new arrivals on sale already. Of course, nothing I bought lately and paid full price. But was surprised to see the Fanfare cardigan and jacket and the Lillian dress in gardenshade floral and skirt already on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Genny, what magazine? I'd be interested to see. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Samantha, thanks for letting me know. Drat...I was hoping for an in-store promo this week when I'll actually be able to go to a couple of B&Ms! Enjoy your new Cafe Capris...how fun to get 3 new colors! :)

  31. @shopwithm: I bought one this past weekend at the J Crew at the Beach store in Naples, Florida for $119. Amazing! But I did also see one on ebay for I think $120 in a bunch of sizes!
