If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in the FALL sale, or to see some new FALL/WINTER
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 still carrying an additional percent off sale. In particular, stores have been offering an additional 25% off their Final Sale the past couple of days. (As mentioned in Wednesday's "In Stores: Additional 25% Off Final Sale" post.) Thanks in advance!!! :)
Probably, since I have something out on hold.
ReplyDeleteNo, I just returned over $1300 worth of J Crew stuff I got a couple of weeks ago to the store yesterday. I saw nothing that caught my eyes in B&M. I will keep an eye out for more online sales in the next few weeks though.
ReplyDeleteduchello - The sequin colorblock tank is $79.99. The colorblock top was marked $49.99 last week, but I heard it is now $29.99.
ReplyDeleteNo, I stopped in yesterday to make a return. Sale section was bursting. Didn't look much because I'm not a fan of a lot of those colors, but I did notice that the stripe Tippi (16798) in burgundy/pink was $29.99 - 25%. It's $59.99 online.
ReplyDeletesilver_lining - And the navy/turquoise Tippi is $49.99, still regular price online.
DeleteIs there anyone willing to part with a 20% off coupon? If so, I'd so appreciate if you'd send it to rayna.rahming at gmail dot com!
ReplyDeleteProbably, I need to return the boyfriend sweater. My icon trench in wool-cashmere is supposed to be delivered today. Will try to post a review tonight. Happy shopping!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, I just returned the merino zigzag sweater (tried xs & s & the fit is so bizarre, I look like a linebacker in it, wanted to love it:( & the stripe peplum top, it's too wide & loose in the waist & the peplum it too short as is the length of the shirt overall:( I may try to scoop up some sale items. I will report back:)!
ReplyDeleteI returned the zigzag sweater too. Such pretty color and pattern but I would prefer long sleeves. The fit is all wrong at the neck and shoulders. It made me look like quasimodo!
DeleteMaking a return and checking out the sales section. Also taking JCAs advice and seeing if they can find the perfect fit chambray shirt with polka dots instead of waiting for the backordered one I'm still waiting for. Will report back for anyone else who's also waiting for it. :)
ReplyDeleteStopped in yesterday to make a return of the blackwatch Slim Trench and a necklace. Didn't see anything that I was interested in trying on....but I did see something that made me wonder "what the heck?" The manager (a man) was dressed in a plain old grey tee shirt and a pair of baggy jeans with flip flops and another women employee was dressed in spandex running pants, running shoes and a baggy grey pullover hoodie. Maybe they were doing some stock work and were waiting for the "nicely" dressed co-worders to come to work? I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
ReplyDeleteor maybe that's a bad omen for Summer 2013. On the bright side, you didn't mention them wearing glasses. I live in hope.
DeleteOr neon!
DeleteMan, that didn't take long. Excursion in herringbone is back to FP
ReplyDeleteMight stop by the Copley place store - is the sale section worth looking at?
ReplyDeleteI went to the Cambridgeside store last night and there was a great sale selection, so I have to imagine the Copley store is even better! Good luck!
DeleteI plan to visit the Boca Raton store this evening. Any JCAs in the area that have visited the store lately? Anything good to report?
ReplyDeleteJust came from the Boca Raton store. 25% off sale items (final sale). They have lots of new sale items including cashmere cardigans and tippis which are still full price online. Got a neon fuchsia cardi (18871) for 97.99 after discount, still full price ($188) online.
DeleteHi Sally, I was there Friday evening as well! That's a great deal on a (cashmere?) cardi! It was nice to see the sale section fully stocked. I brought home the two tone belt in black & tan as well as the No. 2 pencil in retro jade. The SAs seemed more helpful than usual. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteThe Stadium-Cloth Blvd Trench is back to full-price...I was really intending to buy it today but never mind now!
ReplyDeleteProbbaly not because I went yesterday. Tons of stuff on sale, and extra 25% going strong. I got the black and natural perfect fit tee, it was $19.99. Tons of the toothpick jeans and the yellow matchstick cords. I saw the biennial medium satchel in blue grotto in person. Beware, it is much brighter than it appears online. Very saturated.... gorgeous in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteI am stunned to hear that the Colorblock Top is now $29.99. It is still FP at $138 online! As someone who does not live near a B&M, this really upsets me. I do not see how J.Crew can justify this much of price discrepancy.
ReplyDeleteOT but has anyone else's 25% of full price order not shipped? It's been a week and a half and usually my orders arrive in two days. Is this the J Crew way of telling me the items are no longer available?
ReplyDeleteI will probably stop by because I have returns from my STYLE25 order. The only item I am keeping is a Sterling skirt which I reviewed HERE.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a 20% off of $100 coupon code that they would be willing to share? I will pay money for it and can pay through Paypal. elizabethsibsmith@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteJust chatted re: the coat being back at full-price. Response:
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say that the jacket appears to be back at full price. The discount is only available on "select" styles.
Sigh.
That's really annoying. It must have started selling well so they decided they didn't need to discount it. I wonder if it's available in stores, if they will give you the discount.
DeleteThat's what I figured, too...then I emailed them and they said it was a glitch and would be fixed tomorrow morning on the website. Yay! :)
DeleteNo, esp. since online prices are higher than stores. Going to the beach to enjoy the nice warm weather. Trying to avoid winter and winter clothing at all costs:) Sounds like some great deals are out there in store though!
ReplyDeleteOT: Banana Republic - 40% off full priced outerwear and sweaters in store (30% off online). Sale ends 10/7.
ReplyDeleteOT...Canadians. Cityline today (Fashion Friday) is all about J Crew. Check out what Sandra Pattana is wearing. Carolyn from Vancouver.
ReplyDeleteOT but if you are looking for a coat and are waiting out another JC promo, LE has some gorgeous colors and styles this year; I'm very happy w mine. This weekend 40% off one item plus free shipping on $50 purchase w code LEAVES and pin 9876.
ReplyDeleteJust stopped at the Fifth Avenue store. Some sale price notes: Collection chiffon snakeprint blouse $149, optic-dot sheath dress $169 or 179; the Collection skirt in the golden leopard jacquard is $179; cotton brocade top is $59.99 in both colors and as others mentionned already the sequin colorblock tank is $79.99. Also the Collection Jules in the heavy silk is on sale but didn't check the tag. I got the navy tweed jacket and skirt ($79.99), too cute together. The navy tweed jacket is still $69.99 and not $49.99 as I had previously reported, that must have been a ticketing mistake. The one that I got was the only one in the store and it was probably a return because it didn't have any sale price on it so I couldn't ask to match the price that I had seen two weeks ago (same store). Still for around $50 is a great little jacket and a great little tweed suit with the matching mini.
ReplyDeleteYes! I live two hours and a hald away from the nearest B&M store, so I go very rarely. However, I am spending three days in NYC, so I will be visiting J.Crew! I'm super excited. That for the thread about NYC stores, it was very helpful.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks EMA for your store notes. It will help me this weekend ;)

ReplyDeleteWhen are new arrivals coming online/in-store??? I thought we would get them this week, but I see nothing new.
ReplyDeleteMy VPS said October 23. HTH!
DeleteDoes anyone know if the camel/black/grey striped Tippi is on sale? That's all I want right now.
ReplyDeleteWasn't in sale section at my store.
DeleteThx for letting me know. I may cave and go to my store and use that coupon for the 20 off I got w/the new JC card to buy that and a non-sale bracelet.
DeleteAnd, online new arrivals, October 18.
ReplyDeleteI was in store today and despite having a ton of returns which I would've liked to exchange, I found nothing I wanted. A pleasant surprise was that the snake-print blouse I bought last week is now on sale, so I got a price adjustment of $80+ which I wasn't expecting. I asked about the long sleeve tweed dress - I still want to try it despite what I've read here - and the store isn't carrying it but they did help me place an order by phone. I mentioned to the phone rep that I was aware of a 20% cardholder promo that had just gone out which I had not received and she refused to honor it. Had I been shopping online, I would've closed the browser window right then but since I was already 99% of the way done ordering the dress I bought it anyway.
ReplyDeleteGot back to my office and realized that one of the items I returned was refunded at the current sale price and not the higher price on my receipt. Called the store and spoke with a really nasty associate who said I was misunderstanding the sales tax on the shipping. I told her it was part of a large outerwear order and I didn't pay shipping. She told me to call corporate since I had originally purchased the item online and hung up. Nice, right? So I did and the rep I spoke with next was extremely apologetic and clearly upset by the misinformation I'd been given, which was refreshing. He assured me the item would be credited back to my card in the proper amount.
So in the course of one day, I've gotten some of the best customer service and some of the worst. I'm still rather upset that they refused to honor the promo on the dress, not to mention the fact that I was again left out of a promo. This has been going on for two straight years now - not one promo for me. So finally I sent an email to CS saying they can refund me 20% of the tweed dress or I'm returning it along with my JC card cut into bits. Promo aside, I've had the same card for a decade and a half. My reaction may sound extreme to some, but this has been a point of contention for me for a long time now and the more I think about it, the more upset it makes me. Treat your customers right, and treat them equally. That's all I want. I'll gladly be the nut who goes overboard to make her point.
Dara, like you, I've placed many orders over the last month and haven't received a single 20% off coupon. Luckily twice when I've called cs they have given me the % off when I explained that I didn't get a coupon in my orders (once yesterday for a coat order.) It's maddening that some say yes and some say no. I would try again or ask for a supervisor.
DeleteThanks, Debby! I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Hopefully I'll get a helpful response to my email; I hate sending these complaint emails time and time again but I'm just so frustrated! If not, I will definitely call. I love J.Crew - I just want to feel the love back!
DeleteI have had several orders and never got any of the codes either, but the JCAs here have been more than generous and forwarded me theirs when I asked for one.
DeleteGo, Dara! You shouldn't have to beg to spend your money there or for a code. The way they distribute coupons is ridiculous, esp when it comes to cardholders. Every cardholder should get one if it's a cardholder specific promo. I hope the response is in your favor.
DeleteIt did - yay! I received an email saying they'll credit me back the 20% once the dress ships. I think I may be stuck with that old green card forever though ;)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI may go this weekend because I emailed by VPS to ask about the Navy & White pokadot scarf. I noticed it was onsale EARLY this morning but said it was sold out. I want to see if I can get the sale price in-store. BTW: I really want the Green & Navy...cross your fingers! :)
ReplyDeleteI will probably go tomorrow to Jcrew in Columbia MD along with the Banana Republic....
ReplyDelete@Dara (reply not working) - I have been a card holder and frequent flier at J Crew for years and have not received a 20% promo in any of my multiple orders over the past few weeks. I didn't get the cardmember 25% off promo either. When mentioned to my VPS, she gave me a lame response (I no longer us my VPS for anything - if I could request a new one I would... but that's another story for another day). To add insult to injury, I got an email this morning from J Crew to my email *linked to my J Crew account* telling me I had been pre-approved for a JC credit card!?! I let them know I already have a JC card and do NOT "enjoy yearlong exclusive perks not available to anyone else." How could I have been pre-approved for another? Anyway... I digress... not loving JC right now.
ReplyDeleteNot visiting this weekend :)
Mack - I'm in the same boat - no 20%, no 25% (though a couple JCAs have kindly shared 20% codes with me) - AND I got the same email this morning about being pre-approved, even though I already have a JC card.
DeleteOh my goodness, how frustrating! And funny in a way at the same time. It's like they're saying, here, have another card, maybe now you'll finally get the perks we keep advertising! (though you won't if you shop with us too frequently)
DeleteSame boat - five orders in two months and NO 20% coupon. No 25% email two months back. I figure I have been flagged as a serial returner - but they don't have petites in store. Whatever. I stopped using my J.Crew card.
DeleteInterestingly, this has prompted me to start shopping elsewhere. I got two cashmere sweaters at Boden that are sublime. Instead of spending my 25% coupon on the toothpicks I had been craving, I ended up getting a similar pair from H&M for $25.
I did get a new card in the mail. With a 20% coupon good until 11/18. So they know I exist.
I will say that CS in the Copley and Cambridgeside stores has been absolutley fantastic. Almost enough to get me to shop there again. But they never have the smaller sizes.
I never received the new card with the "we promised you perks" note either. SRSLY WTF, J.Crew?
DeleteYou promised perks to ALL J.Crew cardholders.
Just came back from Yorkdale. Sale section looked like a bomb went off in it. Seriously, I've never seen such a disastrous mess. Poor SAs valiantly trying to tidy. Still some snakeprint pencil skirts and blouses, lots of the navy tweed items (got the jacket, very cute, for $60), the white trench dress, lots of optic-dot dresses, some Juleses in the stripe, a few perfect-fit shirts in gingham or plaid, the Emmaleigh in purple (most sizes), several striped Drees, the Tippi in stripe (burgundy), lots of shoes, most in sizes 6 - 8... too much to list really, and it was hard to tell what some things were as there were just mounds of clothes piled up. Also got the Snowcat shirt for $30. Came home happy as I spent less than $100, which is a triumph for me.
ReplyDeletecagliari67, several of the Yorkdale staff have been subbed in to Eaton Centre foropening week, so that might be an extra reason for the "bomb tossed" sale merch LOL. Goof for you on the restrained bargains!
DeleteAh, that would make sense. Honestly, I stopped in my tracks when I came around the corner and saw the sale area - not what you expect in JC, more Zara on Boxing Day lol. Sadly, one of my fave SAs (Heather) was on her last evening there, folding madly, before heading off into the world of insurance (!). Hope the Eaton Centre staff is holding up well, it must be crazy there.
DeleteI visited the Eaton Centre store on Friday - there were lots of people visiting, but I didn't see many people buying. There's no sale section at the moment.
DeleteRemembering the Yorkdale opening in August of last year, they did not develop a sale section until late October if I remember right. So it will probably be a while for the Eaton Centre as well - I will keep going to Yorkdale for now as I almost never buy FP.
DeleteI might be wrong but I thought that the 20% off of $150 coupons that were going out in packages a little while ago were for Canadians. I know I received some in different packages as did other Canadian JCAs. I appreciated the coupon although it doesn't even bring some of the Cdn prices down to the US price. Am I wrong - did any U.S. JCAs actually get that 20% off coupon in their package?
ReplyDeleteAs a canadian JCA I received 2 cards in all of the three pkgs I received from ordering online. I gave some away here on this blog. I think they gave it to us because the online prices are 20% higher. It just evened things out for us Canucks. Carolyn from Vancouver
DeleteI thought the same and I received several, giving some away on my blog and a few to JCAs that requested here. Because of the price discrepancies between Canada and U.S. I wanted to double-dip and use them on promotionally-discounted items so I felt like I was actually getting a deal. Holding one now in the hopes of a sweater promo before it expires.
DeleteI also received cards with my orders in Aug/ Sep. I've never gotten another JC posted promo (in a decade as a regular and sometime card holder). So based on comments here and from other friends, I assumed it was a "Canadian" thing. Did like the "share" code which got lots of use. And XOXO, with you on the doubled promo for actual value, given mark-ups, additional shipping etc. we pay here
DeleteIts no wonder the candy shop necklace in fushia is on sale...I received it today. Wow is it ever bright..shipping back asap/
ReplyDeleteCould someone explain the price adjustment process? I bought the colorblock invitation clutch last weekend during the promo (it was already on sale), and now I see that the price has dropped significantly. Will they make an adjustment for sale items? If not, can I buy one at the lower price, then return it with my first receipt (it was not final sale)?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance!
Hi Emily, the price adjustment period is 7 days and technically only applies to items purchased at full price I believe, though I was able to get an adjustment today on a blouse I bought last week with a 25% off $150 promo in store. For a purchase you made last weekend, I don't think you should have any trouble getting an adjustment. In general, if it's been longer than 7 days but less than 30 and the price has dropped significantly, I would recommend repurchasing the items and returning them with your original receipt. I hate playing the "pricing game", but I did it as recently as today and got quite a good deal of money back. I think it's one thing if you buy an item at full price and it goes on sale months later - you deal with it because you've gotten months of wear out of it already (hopefully) - but with items going on sale mere weeks after they are rolled out, it's hard to rationalizing overpaying in my opinion.
DeleteThank you so much for the helpful info! If you go the repurchase/return with the first receipt route, will they let you do that all in one transaction? Or do you have to buy it, leave, then return to the store again later?
DeleteLast week I bought a pair of toothpicks with a promo code - so not technically full price (93,75). Two days later, they went on sale ($69.99 + 25% off). Called the store and gave them my receipt info and they gave me the discount price (so $41 back). I did not even have to go in.
DeleteGo Copley!
Emily, last winter I tried a repurchase/return on a coat that had gone down about $200 in price 29 days after I purchased it. My understanding was that the store wouldn't have minded so much if they'd had another of the same coat in my size, but since they didn't, I had to get a manager's approval to return the one I had purchased (still NWT and in the garment bag at that point, which is why the manager said ok). It was a bit of a hassle. For that reason, and because I tend to wear things right after I purchase them, I usually do my repurchases in a new transaction and then return them a day or two later with my original receipt. Also a bit of a hassle, but worth it if you're getting significant money back I think.
DeleteOn a separate note, I got an email from CS saying they would honor the 20% promo on the tweed dress I ordered yesterday! I guess my email reached one of the good ones ;)
Thanks Dara and Flower Power, and thanks to Gigi who sent me a very helpful email! I went in this morning and the SAs could not have been nicer about making the price adjustment. I'm glad it was so easy! Thanks again for everyone's help!
DeleteRobson store had a huge sale going on. Large stock of Pencil skirt in circle eyelet ($14.99), Multicolor tweed ($24.99), Pencil skirt in Deck stripe ($34.99), Snakeprint skirt ($34.99), Naomi top in pink $40.99 (or $44.99, can't recall exactly).
ReplyDelete25% discount was applied on top of the sale price.
I've updated the In-Store Price Guide. I've been trying to figure out the cashmere sale colors. It seems that sale colors in the SP12 cashmere crewneck cardigans are $99.99. Sale colors in the FA12 cashmere crewneck cardigans are $129.99. Also, the collection crystal necklace shirt is $139.99. Saw a size range in SF Westfield.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't know, sometimes stores have backstock in items. I.e. a couple weeks ago I bought "the last Tillary purse" in the purple color ($59.99, btw). Well, they had 6 or so on the shelf today. Apparently they brought out all their sale backstock. In the case of SF Westfield, all their sale items are out on the floor right now. In other stores, they might have your size in the back so it doesn't hurt to ask. About that purse. It has a little indentation on it and I considered exchanging it. Till I saw all of them have the mark. It's from the purses pressing against each other. The clasp/knob is making the mark.
...I meant to specify that stores have backstock in SALE items, but it goes for regular price as well.
Delete+ the no. 2 pencil skirt in herringbone $99.99 online vs. $79.99 in-store
DeleteI went to Stanford shopping center in palo alto and there were at least four or five polka dot clutches. It's now $39.99 + 25% off. This clutch is sold out online. Hope to help :)
ReplyDeletenani - The polka dot clutch is still $59.99 in San Francisco. Can you tell us if you saw them marked at $39.99 or you actually bought one and it rang up at that price?
DeleteWhile choosing among the displayed clutches (for scuffs/scratches), some were marked 39.99 and the one I got was marked 59.99, so I quickly corrected the cashier. I also got an extra % off for my teacher discount.
DeleteWell, I drank a little crewlade this a.m. I ordered the collection cheetah brocade pencil skirt, which popped back in my size this a.m. I have watched this skirt and thought how wonderful it would be with a plain black cashmere T or white blouse for holiday events - very chic.
ReplyDeleteMy one regret is that it is final sale, but for the price after 20% off the sale price (basically 60% off), I was confident enough to press "submit".
I couldnt resist a popback too!
DeleteThe invitation clutch in dots popped back this morning and i am so glad i got one.
Would really appreciate some input from my fellow JCA's!! I live in a place that is relatively temperate so I don't need more than one nice coat. I'm thinking of buying the double-cloth slim trench in vintage burgandy. Do y'all think that color is versatile enough? Or should I stick with the camel color?
ReplyDeleteI also wondered if I shouldn't go with the majesty peacoat since it appears to be shorter and therefore, might be more versatile down here where we only get "spurts" of really cold weather. TIA for any insight!!!
It depends on your skin tone. If you can 'do' camel, I would go for that, but remember that it gets dirty faster. I was ready to splurge for the one in burgundy but then I remembered that I had one many years ago and after about 2 years, burgundy colour was out, so I didn't wear it any more. I gave it away in the end.
DeleteI have 2 peacoats and that's all I needed for the last couple of winters, it seems. You can wear the peacoats with thicker skirts or pants when you have the cold spurts. HTH
I love colors for coats. I have a purple car coat that I have been wearing for years. I don't think those purple and burgundy colors in a classic style go out of favor. The pop of color is a great boost during the winter. But I live in the pacific nw where it is rather gray for months!
DeleteOT - I received the "Boots: a love story" email from J.Crew this morning. If their target demographic is really 20-35 or something in that range, why are they referencing old movies and actresses that people in that demographic, like me, have no idea about and have to look up on imdb? Maybe more people my age watch old movies but I rather doubt it. Whatever marketing image they are trying to conjure is totally lost on me.
ReplyDeleteI like Ali McGraw's style in Love Story - here is a good collection of screenshots - but I do not like the movie. JC's new campaign rubs me the wrong way - it's like, they're trying to convince you that you're so discerning/have such good taste that only their pieces will do. But then look at the buttonholes on ShopwithM's lady jacket - come ON!
DeleteI'd like to see WFF's take on that e-mail...the Copywriter from (Cooler-than-thou)Space is at it again!
Yes, I 'd like to see what WFF would make of this too. I looked up the movie and it was made 15 years before I was born. Maybe they are targeting a different demographic specifically for these boots.
DeleteI agree about their campaign. The quality is often laughable (as long as you can return the item) and they tout their products as the best out there. I'm sure this boot is a knockoff of a Chie Mihara design from a few years back that was sold at Anthro. A bit pricier but no doubt much better quality.
I love the clothes in a lot of old and older movies, but I think the part of Love Story that appeals to the JC staff is where the tough girl who is about to die tells the preppy, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." No apologies? Ever? a license to maraud.
DeleteIn the movie, Ali's outfits were recognizably from Villager and John Meyer of Norwich, maybe a shirt or two from Brooks Brothers Boys' Department. They looked great on her, with a few "beatnik" flourishes, like the head scarves. Villager and JMN were both tottering at that stage, got a shot of new life from the movie. She did not wear towering heels in that movie. And in those days tasseled loafers were only worn by wanna-bes.
Fans of the CFS will be happy to know that she and her "ilk" have their own TV series. It's called "The Neighbors." Among other details, the children of the space creatures are named after prominent US athletes. I'm entranced by a little white kid named Reggie Jackson.
I have to go lie down now, that pesky cough is back, I look kind of pale, and I feel, I don't know, weak?
It seemed a very odd reference to me too. Maybe it is intended for a very specific slice of people to buy the boots?
DeleteI"m thinking they want to create the appearance of acknowledging their "preppy" roots by referencing a movie in which the male lead's nickname is "Preppy." Without having seen the entire movie, naturally.
DeleteThe Excursion quilted vest in herringbone is back to the promo price,if somebody is interested.
ReplyDeleteIt was raised last night,by mistake i guess.
This is so incredibly OT it's crazy, but I don't really have anyone else I can ask. ...
ReplyDeleteSince there's such a concentration of people here who run their own websites/blogs, I'm wondering what you all would recommend to me as far as setting up something for myself online....?
I don't want a blog, though. I want it to be more like an online professional presence so I can branch out and pick up some side work (I do communications). I want to be able to showcase some of the work I've done via photos and PDFs, not just a static online resume. I have graphic designer colleagues who can provide custom imagery for me, I just need to be able to customize to that extent.
I use wordpress for the PTA website (I know, lol) and it's not my favorite thing; I find it very limited in terms of design. To further complicate matters, we use godaddy.com for hosting, so when things need to be renewed, it's kinda sticky. It's all very confusing to me since I didn't set it up myself, I took it over from someone else.
I don't care at this point if I have to pay to have my site hosted, as long as it isn't to much $$ and I can be reasonably sure the company hosting it won't shut down, lol.
If this makes sense to anyone and someone can point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful. Thank you!
Elaine

DeleteIf anyone has a 20% off coupon they are not going to use I'd really appreciate it!! RHowell at pacificu.edu
ReplyDeleteI got a Blythe blouse in retro jade and a snake print Tippi for $38 each ($59.99 +25% off + student discount). Sorry, I was in a rush & forgot to check sizes, but there were only a few jade Blythes (still FP online -- $110!)and also a few purple Blythes. I got the only snake print Tippi there. Also, I had to get the salesperson to ask her manager to give me the student discount on top of 25% after telling them other stores always do that for me. They said they’d do it as a one time courtesy.
ReplyDeleteDid any one else see the invitation clutch in polka dot marked down in store to $39.899? I have one on hold, and am just wondering. TIA!
ReplyDeleteKnitYarns - I responded a bit earlier on my blog. Yes, confirmed $39.99 at the Stanford store (Palo Alto). HTH I got one for my sister for Christmas.
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteUpdate- It was ringing up as$59.99, at my B&M. Stanford shoppers must have hit upon a mis-marked lode!
DeleteKnitYarns - Yup, I think the dot clutch was mis-marked in Stanford.
Deleteno i got my invitation clutch in neon green and blue for 39.99 in cleveland
Deleteteh meow - The colorblock clutch has been confirmed $39.99 as of this past Wed. It's the polka dot one that we were wondering about. It's still $59.99. KnitYarns also shared that there's a new invitation clutch for HO12 in tan w/black polka dots, like the receipt pouch.
DeleteI got the Blythe silk blouse in Jade and navy tweed jacket at the Columbia, MD store! Both were final sale and I got my student discount on top of that! Both came up to $87!
ReplyDeleteReviews of the collection crystal necklace shirt, Jackie pullover, Naomi top in dot & a retail only shirt in this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks JCAs, after reading this, I asked the Live Chat for the 20% promo (since I never got one in the mail as usual). They asked if I was a cardholder and then said they'd give it to me. YAY! The cocoon coat was $195. I am happy and will be returning the one I got with the 25% off this past weekend. If I didn't follow this blog, I'd never know about all of these promos!
ReplyDeleteSo happy at this moment! After calling every JC in Manhattan looking for the collection cheetah brocade pencil skirt now that it's on sale with an extra 25% off, I came up empty but a very helpful associate at Rock Center told me to try Southampton because they might have it. I called and sure enough, they did! The woman who helped me order it was absolutely delightful and honored the 25% off - she even asked what store referred me and said they were very thankful for the business! I've been wanting this skirt desperately since it was FP and apparently it's been flying out of stores since the markdown.
ReplyDeleteI saw cashmere Tippi sweaters in the sale section marked at $129.99, then another 20% (or was it 25%?) off of that. There was a bright pink (neon fuscia?), a lilac (frosted plum?), and a bright lime green. These were final sale. I finally bought the Derby dress for $30-something, worth it at that price, I thought.
ReplyDeleteI bought the No. 2 snake print pencil skirt, reviewed here

I stopped by my store today and got the port of call sweatshirt $39.99, Multicolor tweed pencil skirt $49.99, navy tweed cafe Capri $49.99, 2 rugby stripe boat necks in the jade and cabernet color ways for $19.99 each and the polkadot scarf in burgundy with pink dots for $19.99. Saved extra 25% on these prices so I couldn't resist since I'm a sucker for anything tweed. Thanks to Slastena for pointing out the polka dot scarf on her blog. It looks so cute with the rugby boat neck in Cabernet. Love it!
ReplyDeleteReviews of the tortoise-button sweatshirt solid & stripe, tie-neck top in polka dot & tie-neck top in navy tweed in this post.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody have any opinions about the Tuscan Grape Cece? They are a great price ($49.99 before discount)and fit, but I am so hesitant about the color...
ReplyDeleteIt's more like a blue than a real purple. I found that I took the smaller of my J.Crew sizes. I take a 7.5 in most heels, but the 7 fit fine, and the very soft leather is stretchy.
DeleteKnitYarns - I agree w/fidele about them being closer to blue. I wear 7.5 and used to take 8 in all J Crew shoes until they updated & improved the leather ballet flats. I now take 7.5 and that's the size I got in these. I added a pic of the shoe vs the merinoe turtleneck in crushed grape at the bottom of this post.
DeleteThanks everyone. Gigi- you are so wonderfully helpful!
DeleteHi KnitYarns,
ReplyDeleteI have the tuscan grape cece. I really liked them. The leather was soft and the color is very pretty. I had lots of Jcrew shoes, these are very comfy and goes with lots of items. I bought my normal Jcrew size of 7.
Has anyone noticed whether the double serge pencil skirts are still on promo for $98? And, is it possible to receive the 25% off on the promo price? Thanks.
ReplyDeletekikki cee: I'm not sure about in-store, but online only the Spicy Gold is still on promo. A store SA should be able to place an online order and have the extra 25% off applied if you're interested in getting that color. The other promo-priced items are listed here on my blog. :)
DeleteThanks, FFM. I'll give that strategy a try.
DeleteOT, but Stacy London mixes J. Crew patterns and looks super-cute in this interview: http://youlookfab.com/2012/10/05/interviewing-stacy-london/
ReplyDeleteExcursion quilted vest. Has anyone seen the black vs navy? I'm wondering if the black is off-black or brownish black like the snowcap quilted jacket or if it's a true black. If it's not a true black, I'm thinking I should get the navy, instead. Thoughts, JCAs?
ReplyDeleteI think the navy is really nice and wearable.
DeleteHi Gigi! I ordered the excursion quilted vest in black, and plan to return it. It is not a true black, but more like the black of the snowcap jacket you reviewed. I would personally say go for the navy if choosing between those two colors.
Delete@The Handbag Aficionado - Thank you :)
Delete@FFM - Just what I wanted to know. I'd rather a deep, true black or pass. I'm going to go for the navy. Thanks :)
I went to J.Crew on Michigan Ave. in Chicago yesterday-- I mainly went to make a return. Frankly, the sale was underwhelming. I got a tank top for $6.99. I wasn't interested in much else. Also, I got attitude for returning the Downtown Field Jacket. The sales person asked if there was anything wrong with it and I said, "No, but it's unlined and not warm and not flattering." And she said, "Really? This is a very popular item for this store- in both colors." Um, I didn't ask you if it was popular! Sorry, but I'm sick of JC jackets being over $100 and not lined. It's just cheesy and cheap.
ReplyDeleteFinal hours for the coat promo. Curious to see if they extend it or put up a Columbus Day promo. Links to irl coat pics in this post.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is the Icon Trench in Wool Cashmere in Cabernet all sold out?
DeleteLOTS of great stuff on sale. I ended up walking away with only the Anchors and Horseshoes Perfect Shirt. Well, and a polo for my boyfriend. I found a lot of the tops to be cut super short. I don't mind boxy, but you can't be too short. The tortoise button sweatshirts were super short, as was the rugby stripe linen-blend top. I also saw those cashmere Tippi sweaters another JCAer was talking about above.
ReplyDeleteJCrew on F St NW in DC.
ReplyDeleteLots of cafe capris in various materials.
Merino V-neck sweaters,Classic merino long cardigan
Postage stamp mini in navy tweed, City minis in several colors and sizes.
No. 2 pencil skirt in the snakeskin print.
Origami sheath dress in wool crepe and Jules dress in heathered wool both in turquoise/teal color.
Lots of wallets. Some tights.
I just glimpsed at the shoes, and noticed mostly ankle boots.
Prices weren't that marked down, and even with the extra 25% off, I wasn't enticed by anything.
I bought the toothpick jeans in shallow sea. Also the J.crew store in Annapolis mall was having 10$ off merino turtlenecks to I picked up 2!
ReplyDeleteI just purchased the Majesty Peacoat in Navy on promo plus the extra 25% final sale (it is not marked final sale) Woo Hoo for double promos on accident! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ally, I tried to find the Icon in Cabernet in a 10 and was told they are all sold out. :(
