If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in the HOLIDAY sale, or to see some new 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 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!
I am hoping to. Are the new arrivals in stores as well?
ReplyDeleteOT, but J. Crew is 6% on Ebates right now.
DeleteStraycat, not sure if you're up, but there are three gateway green Excursion vests on stock!!! I know you already got the navy, but just in case you're still interested...
ReplyDeleteFor you Madewell skimmer fans: 40% off "insider favorites" today only, including leather (64.50), patent leather (64.50), and suede (58.50) skimmers. Snakeskin and calf hair not included in extra % off.
ReplyDeleteis this through the website?
DeleteI made a huge haul yesterday but will just share my favs right now. I picked up the nora blush cap toe chain ballet flat, on sale for 69.99 plus another 30% off with the promo so it was a great deal. They fit tts and are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI picked up the scattered sequin sweater in red, size m. I tried my normal size of xs and s, they both fit loosely but were quite short in the waist (I'm 5'9"). I think wearing this sweater in a slouch fit makes it more modern, less likely to look like a kitschy holiday sweater.
The heathered maritime dress in stripe is amazing and a great price with the discount. I bought s as there was nothing smaller in my store and I liked the loose fit. It became much cuter when paired with the silver glitter belt to cinch in the waist. I can't wait to wear this with tights, it will be perfect for all of the long traveling I do. Comfy yet chic.
This doesn't begin to cover my favorites, I may post them later.
Also, I noticed J crew's most recent denim seems to be of a much thinner fabric with more stretch. This seems for winter, especially since the summer denim was all quite stiff and thick. Personally, I prefer my denim to have a little stretch for both the comfort and fit factor. I recommend sizing down 1 or 2 sizes from your size in the thicker denim. I went from a 28 down to a 26 in most pants I tried yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI posted a few days ago about seeing pave necklace for around $100. I didn't have any proof of the price and felt like I had misremembered or worse, misrepresented the situation, which made me feel bad . . .
ReplyDeleteBut then last night I went to Rock Center (so many people, ugh) to do a PA, and there hanging on a little stand was a pave necklace, each link a square shape. The style number is 22284, the price was originally $118, and the whole thing was marked down to $70. I got the 30% off and the necklace came out to around $50. I think this may have been what I saw online--an older item that is out there. If you are interested you might do a search.
The PA was interesting, because I think the SA refunded me far too much money. Has that ever happened to you?
That's awesome! You were right about the original pave necklace being about $115 that day, though, I saw it too. I might like the one you bought even better, though. Both are very pretty.
DeleteI gotv that necklace too at Rockfeller Center and the matching bracelet. BTW the bracelet (on sale for $39.99) is great for the small-wristed ladies. I am often sized out of their bracelets but this one is fairly small.
DeleteWould anyone happen to have a photo of the the pave necklace (22284)/bracelet that they might be able to email to me? I tried doing abit of detective work but I think it was in-store only so I haven't been able to find a photo! (flowingwithgrace at gmaildotcom)
DeleteAlso, was it a one day thing that the classic pave went down to about $115 or are they still at that price in-store?
Thanks so much for all your help!
I'm definitely planning on hitting the store this weekend; hoping to find some good buys!
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic but there are a whole bunch of J Crew items featured in the January 2013 issue of "Lucky." The cover model is Jennifer Hudson and on the first page of her feature she is wearing the flame floral jacquard skirt.
Off topic post, but I thought some of you may be interested...
ReplyDeleteRachel from the Pink Peonies is giving away 5 $100 J.Crew Factory gift cards on her blog today.
I have more info on how to enter on my blog http://simplisticstylings.blogspot.com/
I won't be going to the store but did manage to get some nice deals online, including a couple of cashmere sweater pop-backs today.
ReplyDeleteFYI, I also reviewed the Factory cashmere colorblock waffle sweater here.
ABC-I always love your styling!
DeleteI'm gong to try to run in today before the afternoon rush to see if the Tippis are also on sale in store. Does anyone know? I managed to score a few online this morning after the update but someone beat me to my size in a few colors.
ReplyDeleteOT, but I'm always so curious as to what other JCAs get on popbacks expecially last week when there were so many good ones. I always go back to my best aquisitions in my mind and the feeling of pure undulated joy when you find something you wanted that was seemingly sold out.
The Tippis were on sale, but some of the colors were $10 more in the stores than online.
DeleteThanks Emily. Maybe I'll try to get my B&M to price match.
DeleteMy B&M was greeting customers by telling them that the sale stock in store is better than online and that they'll price match the online prices.
DeleteI managed to get a pop back of the Excursion vest in warm bisque and a Tippi in celestial blue. Excited!!
DeleteI've visited the store more in the past month than I have in maybe the six previous months and that's because of the great promos, but also because the stores are fully stocked, things are displayed well, and it has been a great shopping experience overall. So I'll likely hit the B&M again this weekend. For me, J Crew has really come through for the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI'm returning a perfectly good Cupcake necklace to the Valley Fair or Stanford store tomorrow (if anyone is looking for one; I notice it's been sold out for weeks).
ReplyDeleteI'm on the search for the silk boy shirt in heartthrob (size 0) if anyone has seen it, please let me know. TIA! I am assuming jcrew does charge/send?
ReplyDeleteNancy try Pleasanton (925) 463-2100
DeleteI don't know about size 0, but Georgetown in DC has many hartthrob shirts on sale.
DeleteNancy, Park Meadows B&M, Colorado 303-649-9620 had 3 size 0's $109.99, just got back from there.
DeleteIf anyone spots a Chiffon Top in Hothouse Floral in their local store in a size 12 PLEASE let me know! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSara
sara.wolf73@gmail.com
they had a bunch on the sales rack as of yesterday at South Coast Plaza (Costa Mesa, CA). Not sure of of sizes or price, though.
DeleteThank you! I'll give them a call. Wish me luck...
DeleteIf you haven't found one yet, try the Charleston, SC b&m. Although I didn't check sizes, they had several.
Delete@Sara-SF Market Street location had lots. I didnt see what sizes they carry, but you should also try. Good Luck!
DeleteThey also had a size 12 in the Albany, NY location, marked down to $109.99.
DeleteThanks for all your help! I have one winging it's way to me as we speak. This is a great community and again, I really appreciate your tips. Happy Holidays!
DeleteI want visit my local SF Market St location to return the Bow coat that I ordered from the Black Friday promo. Still obsessing over owning a camel colored coat, but the size 2 I ordered did not feel right. The sleeves do not fall straight, and looks rumpled around the armpits, where the sleeves are sewn on to the shoulders. It just looked weird. Regardless of me having skinny arms, the sleeves should be sewn right to accommodate all arm sizes....
ReplyDeleteHopefully it'll go on sale so I can reorder a size 0.
JSR: If you are happy with the price you paid for the coat with the Black Friday promo, why don't you ask CS to exchange it for the size 0? They should swap it out at the price you paid and ship it for free, as well.
DeleteHi FFM - I thought about that but wasn't sure if I should bother with the hassle.
DeleteThanks for the tip. :)
I did pay a good price for it. It was when they had the Bow coat on sale and I was able to apply the % promo, then they decide to switch it back to full price. Oh JCrew.
@JSR: funny that you are planning on returning the bow coat. I may return my as well. I got the cabernet in 2 and I think in terms of the size it fits perfectly. However, the funnel neck is really bothering me. If i wear a scarf it's fine but if i don't it's hitting my neck/cheek area and it's kind of irritating. And I thought I loved the bow but it looks little off when i have the coat opened like one side of the bow is standing up higher than the other size. At this point, I may stick with my green cocoon coat.
Delete@ladybug007 - funny I did reorder the cocoon coat in Dublin green in size 00 and the fit is much better than a 0 and I too might just keep the cocoon.
DeleteI guess I shouldn't force myself to like the bow coat when it's not working out. There will be another fall season filled with camel coats to choose from...
@ladybug007 - I went to my B&M in downtown SF, they had the bow coat in size 0 but in the fuchsia color. I tried it on just to see how the size 0 would look, and it fit way better than the 2. I didn't have a problem with the sleeves bunching up around the pits area..
DeleteNow I'm back from feeling torn between the Bow Coat in camel or Cocoon Coat in green. I really like the Cocoon because its modern, and I love green, but i just don't want it to look too trendy that i may not like it a year after when it comes to wearing it again.
The Bow is a safer coat to own, its classic design will be timeless...
Both coats are cool, but I can decide on one. :( Ah what to do..
Hi JCAs :) Update on the In-Store Price Guide.
ReplyDeleteOT Anthro - MERRYMERRY for $25 off every $100. Promo also good in-stores. Ends Sun, 12/16.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone let me know if they see the popover peacoat in their B&M store? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe popover peacoat was reduced to $95.99 at the Toronto Fairview Mall store. It would've been a great deal with the additional 30% off!
Deletethere are a few (2/3) in the south coast plaza one in ca. they are in the red color
Deleteoh i forget to mention they are 79.99+30% off! i combined my student discount last week and paid $47 for it :)
DeleteAre there still chiffon dot tops in green out there in stores? Or am I better off stalking for pop backs? TIA!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing I'd take a 4 in this, based on reviews on it running bug, fwiw. Thanks again!
DeleteRockfeller Center had a bunch as of Thursday morning (NYC). There was no size 0 but at least two 2 and up. HTH!
DeleteThanks Ema! I'll give them a try!
DeleteCan anyone comment on the fit/quality of the jackie pullovers? I'm feeling tempted to purchase a red one with the latest promo. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKLloves - I didn't care for the Jackie pullover. the material feels weird (synthetic-y) and it was oddly tight. I have a pic of one in this post. I almost kept it for the color only, but it had a snag in it. I'm glad I didn't because I prefer the Tippi in sandstone.
DeleteI love the Jackie pullovers, but they do run small. Size up. The material is odd, it is thick and really stretchy. If you squish it, it sort of feels like memory foam. That said, I really like them and I own just about every color!
DeleteI love both the Tippi and Jackie. A major plus for the Jackie is that it is not sheer - great for lighter colors. I agree with J.CrewJD about sizing up - I wear an xs in the Tippi and a small in the Jackie pullover. The length is a bit shorter than the Tippi and works perfectly with the no. 2 pencil skirts. I also find the sleeves to be more of a bracelet length, which I also really like a lot. I own nearly every color as well and wear them often. Well worth the amazing price they are with the promo right now.
DeleteJust got back from my B&M Park Meadows, Colorado. Got the Boy Shirt in Black Watch at online price $49.99 (but had to ask and had the online chat printout) & 30% off. I think it runs small I am usually a 6 got an 8. They had lots of them. I was told that the 30% off is running through Christmas Eve, so pace yourselves :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got that shirt at the sale price. :) I had to size up to an 8 as well. I wore mine today...love it!
DeleteYes. They run a small. U have to size up in this shirt. Glad I got measurements first from online chat but decided I did not like the plaid. I want true black watch. Perfect example of inconsistent sizing & why I don't order and hate final sale. Glad it isn't now!
DeleteHelp! Anybody know why the vintage berry metro cloth coat is the only one marked down (a lot, too)? Is there something wrong with this color? I'm interested, but skeptical... TIA! :)
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me how the grey tartan boy shirt runs? I usually take a size 4 in perfect shirts so I was wondering if I should size down in that boy shirt because I usually find the body looser? I haven't been able to try the grey tartan irl so help is appreciated! :)
ReplyDeleteI take the same size in perfect shirts and boy shirts. They are intended to fit differently, but the difference isn't severe. Perfect shirts are just a little more formal /tailored.
DeleteI found that particular shirt TTS. I tried on my same size I take in perfect shirts (6) and it fit great.
DeleteDitto- I take the same size.
DeleteThanks ladies!
DeleteI have a RAVE for the factory skimmer pant, as other JCAs have had. JCrew.com probably hates me because I've ordered about 10 different pairs of wool cafe capris over the past year (sorry, JCrew!). Regular, petites --- nothing fit and all got returned.
ReplyDeleteI finally tried the factory skimmers and they are much higher quality and much more flattering. Thanks, JCAs!
These are a much better fit on me, too. I have them in black and I regret that I didn't buy them in the tan color too.
DeleteDanielle....thanks for the heads up about the green vest. It's funny, I read rumors of the vest popping back up last night and this morning, but every time I go to the site, it says the vest is sold out. So I don't know what's up. I'm just happy I got one! Navy will go with everything and I can wear it year around. Hope everyone else got the vest if they wanted it.
ReplyDeleteThe FACTORY INTARSIA CHARLEY SWEATER IN SCOTTIE
ReplyDeleteOnline Item 22925 says there are a few left in Large online for $39.
oops heres the link http://factory.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?GENERIC%3C%3Eedit_product_flag=true&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302075466&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441829043&remove_cart_index=0&nav_type=FACTORY&bmForm=persistent_shopping_cart&bmFormID=jJsqkpj&bmSubmit=edit_cart_item&bmUID=jJsqkpk
DeleteI wore my Scotty sweater yesterday for the first time. Love it and got lots of compliments but it does pill. Just wanted to let you all know!
DeleteI went today to make sone returns. Was dismayed to hear that extra 30% on clearance merchandise was final sale. They said you could choose to waive the extra 30% and it would not be final sale. How lame Jcrew!
ReplyDeleteI agree, final sale is totally lame! Went in, tried what I wanted and walked out empty handed after finding out about the final sale.
DeleteI would speak with a manager. It wasn't like that at my nearby store. In fact the final sale signs were gone. Nor does the online sale make mention all sale items are final sale. Perhaps your SA was misinformed.
DeleteThere was no mention of final sale at Rockfeller Center. It is 30% off storewide, same promo on sale items and non sale items.
DeleteThere were no final sale signs in the store I visited. I made a point of asking two SAs just in case the first was misinformed. They both told me that sale items, with 30% off, were final sale. After I pointed out that it wasn't final sale on the website, one whipped out an ipad thingy and proceeded to check the terms of the promo. All the SA could say was,"Sorry." Maybe it was just my bad luck to run into 2 misinformed SAs. It's only because I read JCA that I even thought to ask about final sale. I refuse to be ambushed in the middle of checkout with this final sale nonsense!
DeleteThanks for everyone weighing in on this subject. There were no signs posted that said final sale. Two different SAs told me about the extra 30% off clearance being final sale and regular price items or those not ending in.99 were not final sale with 30% off. I discussed it with another customer purchasing items while I was making my returns. The customer, who decided to purchase a clearance item but waive the extra 30% because of FS, was standing right next to me while the manager was taking care of my return. I assume the manager heard the whole conversation. I just left without purchasing anything. Just be aware that a gift may not be able to be returned.
DeleteI have been told the same lame thing at my store ... you can waive the extra % if you want to avoid the final sale restriction on returns.
DeleteLet me preface my story with the fact that I find most of the staff at my local store nasty...so much so that I do most of my buying on-line. As a result, I treat my local store as a return center.
DeleteI went stopped in to the store last night in hopes of purchasing the metal pearl bracelet as a gift. They had it and when I asked the SA the price and she told me $68.00. I told her it was $49.99 on-line and I politely asked if she could match the price. She started to tell me no but a male SA told her to verify the price and if it was marked down to honor the price. After verifying the price the female SA told me it would be final sale w/ the 30%. I told the SA that there was no mention of final sale anywhere in the promos. Again the male SA jumped in and told me it would not be final sale and that I could have a gift receipt if I wanted. I thanked the male SA for all his help before I left. I just wonder why JCrew insists on making it so difficult on the customers...don't they know how important customer service is?
The icing on the cake...as I was leaving another woman was looking at the same bracelet and I tipped her off about the price and final sale nonsense....another SA overheard me (not either of the two I had worked with) and she gave me the stink eye and a extremely sarcastic THANKS! Sorry, JCrew but I'm going to help my fellow customer beat your ridiculous games.
The moral of this long tale....
Ask your store to match on-line pricing and tell them the final sale is bunk. Ask for a manager if you have to but remain polite and firm.
Come to think of it, there were no final sale signs at my store either, but my two purchases were final sale as well.
DeleteI didn't make a fuss about it b/c they were gifts, but still.
I checked my receipt from my purchase yesterday, I got the on line price adjustment and 30% off but receipt is not FS and item ended in .99. I know the 30% off a couple of weeks ago on sale items was FS but there was no mention during this promotion. I think each store is making their own decisions.
DeleteJust checked my receipt from last evening too. My sale purchases are not marked final sale. There was signage in the store stating that everything in store was 30% off and nowhere did it allude to sale purchases being final sale. I was prepared to march down to my local store this morning (on a holiday weekend, no less) to demand they return these items had they been marked as such. J. Crew really needs to have a consistent policy across all its B&M stores and website.
DeleteSomeone know how much is the MacAlister wedge in color nut in stores?! Any special promo or perhaps on sale?!?!
ReplyDeleteTIA
Andrea, they were full price last week still. My friend got them with the 25% promo.
DeleteThnx Rose!
DeleteMadewell - MERRY gets 30% off sitewide & free shipping. Also good in-stores.
ReplyDeletethose vests are back!
ReplyDeleteI know this is random, but does anyone have a piperlime coupon code they'd like to share? I'd really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI have $15 off a $60 (or more) purchase. It's my birthday coupon...it expires on the 17th, I suppose? it says it's good for one week, and my birthday was on the 10th.
DeleteAnyway, let me know if you want it.

ReplyDelete* Fall floral necklace (47811) - saw one in the case
* Chambray polka dot shirt (89276) - Looks like they recvd a new shipment of these.
Rats- missed the chambrays...argh. This top has been taunting me for too long!!!
DeleteMy store had TONS of them. At full price. Two ladies came in and purchased one as I was browsing at the plaids.
DeleteHi ladies, can anyone comment on the fit and sizing for the vintage straight jeans? I'm looking at the pair online in Ontario wash. First time with J.Crew denim and absolutely no idea what to order ( I am normally a 26/27)
ReplyDeleteHi, I bought the vintage straight jeans in the Old Faithful Wash, so not sure if these are exactly the same. I purchased size 27, I am a 27 in my Sevens and a size 4 at J Crew. The jeans are a heavy denim and are a bit roomy, however I was looking for a casual boyfriend fit so this is OK but I probably could have got the 26. The crotch is a bit low, but I think this is the style. I quite like them and am wearing them right now. They pair well with the MacAlister wedge boots. I bought the Old Faithful wash because I liked the longer inseam...32. HTH!
DeleteThese run big.
Deletethank you both! I think I will size down then :)
DeleteHas anyone seen the jacquard dot shirt (either color) in a store? (size 6 or 8 would work)
ReplyDeleteIt got moved to sale and I keep missing popbacks every morning!
Saw one of the SAs wearing a mini bubble necklace - I thought it was Crewcuts/Crewlet and she said it was the Joe Fresh version. I remember reading a post on here about the JF one. Since my 18 month old loves to wear my jewelry, went there and picked up the black version (all they had left at that location) for $7! I actually picked up one for myself as well to match her. :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw that in the Superstore yesterday and I LOL'd.
DeleteMade some returns and found a single pair of the black patent Biella loafers for $130 minus 30% off!
ReplyDeleteRe: the 30% final sale conversation. I asked my SA cashier and he said no, not final sale, and the discount refers to the transaction discount, nothing about final sale on the receiept... so I would check your receipt, if it doesn't say it, I doubt any SA would look closely enough during returns to try to make a call, given it changes promo to promo.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know how much the liberty shirt in blue floral is in stores? Annnnnnd did anyone see it this weekend in any of the NYC locations? Thanks in advance!!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure it is full price in the store. I remember seeing it and thinking that is a big difference, when it is listing for $99.99 online. If the size you want isn't online or if you don't have time to wait for it to ship, you might be able to get the store to honor the online price.
DeleteI feel like I've seen these in the sale section at my store for the past few weeks. But I'm down south in Alabama, not in NYC.
DeleteThanks, guys! Phoebe, did you know how much they were? There is sometimes discrepancy between store/online, less so store/store (imo). I haven't been in a store in 2 months - reeeeally tempted by this promo, and have been eyeing the shirts since spring/summer! Crewlade.
DeleteI have not seen this shirt in the sale section in any of the 3 stores I have been in recently.
DeleteI saw the blue and the red in my sale section yesterday for 89.99, but I'm in Georgia.
DeleteI saw item Liberty Shirt in D'Anjo (86155) and Leo Scarlett (97120) for $69.99 W/O 30% off in my B&M on Friday. Park Meadows, Colorado.
DeleteThanks, everyone! Ordered it this morning; gonna re-route tomorrow to stop by a store. Or two. :)
DeleteWheew..I just came back from returning the Bow Coat at the SF Market St store. Lots of people taking advantage of the 30% promo. I bought myself a Cashmere V Neck in Tawny Ribbon and it came out to $94 before tax, and a Crewcut navy cords and a stripe sequin star cotton top for my little girl.
ReplyDeleteMy SA told me that they're doing the 30% all the way through the 24th. Doubting myself if I heard that right, or if she meant the 30% will continue for sale items only, and not the full price items.
If I plan to go back again, I'll make sure to go during the weekday morning, and not during the weekend. Too crazy, especially now that we are one week and weekend away from Christmas.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Deleteoh and I made sure to ask the SA who rung me up, if the sale items Im buying aren't final sale, and it wasn't. :)
DeleteWhat I bought yesterday didn't say final sale on the receipt!
DeleteNo final sale at my stores.....and I bought some jewelry from clearance. No signs or nothing on my receipt stating FS. My SA's confirmed 30% throught Xmas.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone comment on the fit of the Cece suede ballet flats? Are they narrow or tts? The last pair of ballet flats I bought from J Crew were the Marsala suede flats which were pretty narrow.
ReplyDeleteRandom Human - I love the Cece ballet flats. They're very, very comfortable. I find they run TTS. Since J Crew updated the fit on their flats, almost all of them now run TTS. This coming from someone who is a 7.5 and just about always takes an 8 in J Crew shoes. HTH
DeleteRH I agree with GiGi, the Cece ballet flats are super comfortable. I find them TTS also (size 11).
Deletejust got an email from J.Crew which said the WISHLIST promo / 30% off ends tomorrow. (shakes head)
ReplyDeleteJust online. It continues in stores until xmas eve
DeleteIn the "details" section of the promo description on line, it says it ends on line and in store on December 17th at 11:59 EST.
Deletefor those of you in NYC, would you suggest going to the b&m in rock center over flatiron? does one usually restock more/faster or have nicer SAs? just wondering! never thought to consider my options until now :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteI prefer rock. Center but 5th avenue is okay too. Rock. Store has better service IMO
ReplyDelete
