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 SALE, or to see some NEW 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!
Not going this weekend. Waiting for new arrivals. Next week?
ReplyDeleteI was up in the middle of the night with a restless baby and did some searching. The Abigail Borg dress came up and a liberty puffed but this morning they are not there when you search. Probably over the weekend they will be all loaded and you can search by item category (dresses, skirts, etc).
ReplyDeleteNo J.Crew visit for me. OT: some Madewell reviews on my blog.
ReplyDeletei don’t have a restless baby but couldn’t sleep and also stalked. i’m excited about the puffer since i missed out last year and could never find it pop back in my size. give me all the liberty ��
ReplyDeleteALL the Liberty! Me, too! Going to London in December and can't wait to visit. I'll probably cry. ;)
DeleteNo visit - but today I am wearing the Summer Friday’s Tee in red, white denim skirt w frayed hem and striped Cora’s. Such a simple outfit but I have gotten at least 6 compliments this morning! Maybe it’s just that the tee is so cute.
ReplyDeleteCan someone confirm when new arrivals will be in store and online next week?
New stuff should be out of boxes by monday night and online probably tuesday.
DeleteAlso rewards program launches 7-31
Thanks Ina. Curious to see both new arrivals and the new rewards program. I am wondering if this replaces credit card rewards or if this is in addition to those.
DeleteIt is in addition i think
DeleteThanks, Ina! Appreciate the previews!

DeleteWhy doesn't J.Crew upload videos like this? I just happen to stumble upon it over the internet. I would love to see the designers talk about the upcoming pieces and what to expect.
ReplyDeleteCrewCuts Fall Video
I worked at J Crew for a few years, and they would put videos like this on an employee website. Some of them were shareable, others were not. Some of them do make it onto instagram and facebook as well.
DeleteOT but Cheritheberry posted about tretorn on sale at lordandtaylor at a great price. I ordered the net in black and ivory and love them. Perfect for summer. For the price and how practical they are I might keep a spare. I don't expect them to be the most durable but they're cute, cool and comfortable. Two of my girls liked as well so I ordered extra. They're always needing/wanting new sneakers so I might even keep some for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you and your girls liked them, too! I got and am keeping the same colors. I did have to size down from my regular 7 to a 6.5, and quite possibly could have taken a 6. I have a 7 in the natural to return if anyone is looking. That really made me happy to hear Suz!
DeleteThat's so funny. I couldn't have sized down any more. Are your feet narrow?
DeleteYes - but the length is the same lol!! I don't get it. My leopard Coras were tts where I know most sized up. *shrugs*
DeleteFWIW Madewell did call and email regarding my website issues. She told me they get a lot of complaints from ppl using iPads. I'd imagine most of us are on mobile devices these days and not shoppingmfroma desktop computer. She called at a not great time so I didn't even want to ask if my items were available.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like the site is functioning better. I was finally able to order but the only payment I was able to get to work was PayPal.
DeleteNo visit for me this weekend but I was super excited to grab the Pull-on easy pant in floral-printed silk twill item #J1076. They are now sold out but have finally been marked down and the extra percent off applied making them $50. They have been popping back quite a bit so hopefully others will be able to grab them at a great price.
ReplyDeleteI was so tempted!!! I hadmthem in my cart yesterday.
DeleteI can totally see you wearing those pants Suz since they fit your black & white esthetic!
DeleteI tried them on and keep looking back at the IG pics. I do love them but it's more the lifestyle thing.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWhich pants? We are talking about the pull on,in the tropical floral. Not sure which green or brown ones you mean.
DeleteEdited due to typos:
DeleteI bought them yesterday online on sale. I don't do brown, but I know myself and I'll go crazy looking for them in a few weeks so I wanted to just get them home and try styling them with my existing items.
These read brown to me. Not charcoal.
Really? They were charcoal to me. And sartorial choices said hers looked good with navy. Wonder if there are diff dye lots?
DeleteI've only seen them in the store. Maybe it was the lighting or because they were next to the yellow and green bodysuits...although I just realized we both probably saw them in the same spot!
DeleteI'm glad to hear that. I'm 50/50 on them so we shall see!
Just got the email about the VIP Crew.
ReplyDeleteNothing in my mail yet. What does it say?
DeleteIt was an invite to join a web group:
DeleteWelcome to VIP Crew
We are so excited to have you as part of our new VIP community! Your ideas and feedback mean the world to us. As a VIP Crew member, we want your voice to be heard and for you to have an impact on the future of our brand. We look forward to getting to know you and to share back how your ideas and influence are making a difference.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteHee, I got one for Madewell!
Delete@Namora, do you post a lot of reviews? Wonder if that is why I received it?
Delete@p banos, no actually! I have only posted a few reviews on Madewell! I am not sure what metrics were used by VC and J.Crew to select participants. Regardless, I am quite excited about the community!
DeleteOf course I didn't manage to get a pic, but I FINALLY wore my white wide leg linen pants (with the sailor buttons and lace up back) out to a birthday dinner. I paired them with the white linen Rhodes blazer, the drapey puffy sleeve blouse in black with white polka dots, black satin sandals with a wood platform heel and a skinny red silk scarf (that has black and white in it too). I admit I was a little "nervous" wearing almost all white, but my husband strongly approved and I saw my mom later on and she complimented it too.
ReplyDeleteI only wish the pants had belt loops as the waist is a little loose and they fall to my hips. I didn't want to size down because I didn't want them to be clingy on the hips.
Pretty self explanatory but I posted a flat lay (not my specialty) on insta @wearthislikethis
DeleteThat sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteTried a few things from the rollout next week: tiger print shirt,Abigail Borg tee,denim dress,olive jumsuit and a top. Will post pics later or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCool, Ina! Looking forward to seeing your pics, and reading your reviews, and the roll-out on Tuesday.
DeleteThank you@Ina! Can’t wait to see your reviews, I often use you for sizing :) looking forward to the rollout!
DeleteReviews are up
Deletelove that liberty print!
Deletethanks Ina!
I have some misc text reviews on my Facebook page, Gigi's Gone Shopping. There are IRL pics of the bow-tie stripe jacket and Ratti print ruffle blouse. I don't know how to link to those two posts, but if you scroll it is easy to find them.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have Facebook(side story with my daughter), but I managed to get it and look at your pictures.... great combo....I have some of the stuff and see I missed out on some.... ( grey lady jacket) nice work.... very pretty!!!
DeleteFactory has some nice things: button downs, (stipe blue with roses and printed ruffle) and collared grey sweater( have navy version form last year), and grey suede Anya’s. They also have some sort of pants that look like Cameron - effortless slim crop.,. Does any know anything about these.... considering these.... but factory is hard to return and that makes me think twice....lol
ReplyDeleteFactory is 10% cash back on Ebates today.
DeleteI like the grey Anya's - though these just aren't as comfy or well made as the Cece, which I love, love, love. I"ve bought a few Anya's but always find myself hating them by the end of the day when my feet are pinched. I wish they hadJ Crew Cece in this lovely grey.
DeleteYou right.... it’s all about the color.... that’s what draws me to them.... I did own a Zoe from few years back that I liked a lot....same color.... but my pregnant colleague went home in them one
Deleteday....lol...thanks for the info.... may hold off... do like the color...
Just got home from work. Posted some quick pics of women's rollout in instastory. Never did that before so not sure how it worked out...
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice roll-out. The Abigail Borg print is pretty. I appreciate the information it has about the artist. Takes me back to when J.Crew used to highlight collab designers.
ReplyDeleteAlso love the photo shoot of Carolyn Murphy.. oh how I miss it. It’s like a catalog shoot!
I ordered with the 30% promo before J.Crew changes their mind and excludes some coveted items.
-Reversible Puffer Jacket in Liberty Floral
-Olive sequin Jackie
-Petite Vintage Straight jean in two tone
-Hand Embellished Peplum Top
I wanted to order the Borg floral tie-pant, the tie blouse, the pink silk v neck top and matching skirt but it wasn’t 30% off...I’ll probably wait it out.
I’m surprised the Stubbs loafers are 30% off..might not be by tomorrow. I’ve always admired Stubbs, but I’m not feeling the fly print. Too bad. They have my size and it’s 30 off..
Also like the fanny pack. Cute how it’s styled in pink velvet, worn by Carolyn M.
And loyalty program is up!
Here’s the link - Abigail Borg
Deletehttps://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/BehindtheDesignJCrewXAbigailBorg.jsp?sidecar=true
Ha ha ha!
DeleteI ordered liberty stuff, too, because I was afraid JCrew would delete it from the promo by the time I got into the office.
Miss JR - Righht? I was afraid of that too. 😊
DeleteI can’t believe the stuff I ordered last night, already shipped (except for the embroidered Peplum top). And it says it’ll arrive on 8/2. Wonder if this new member program has the expedited shipping??
My three orders from last night also shipped via UPS 2nd day air! Woo!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Delete@jSR yes the loyalty programm has faster shipping
DeleteThanks Ina. Bad timing for me because I’ll be on a trip and won’t be able to claim my package. I hope it’ll be delayed till Friday night. Haha
Delete...while my package was sent via UPS mail innovations, as usual, the slowest available way. :(
DeleteI think some of the new items are out this morning but I'm not feeling it, too much 70's vibe for me with the jumpsuits and blouse styles. Lots of items that wouldn't work for the short waisted, and just plain short, pear shape I am. I think too without the catalog I lose that other way of looking at the items. The website, and the way the models are styled, don't tempt me into buying. I hope others find things to love. Maybe Brooks Brothers Red Fleece for me this fall.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the new rollout this morning, and 30% got me to bite on more than I expected. Got the Abigail Borg shirtdress even without % off, I just love the print and had to try it. The Rewards page in my account isn't working, though, just sits there endlessly loading...
ReplyDeleteLast night at work I actually pointed out to my co-workers how well made this dress was. The price was surprising to me, I thought it would be more. I hope you are pleased with it!
DeleteHi Cheri, Is the dress silk or poly?
Deletepoly
DeleteThank you! the website description is confusing. It describes it as a "pretty silk dress" but then goes on to say it is poly. I was really hoping for silk!
Deletemaybe it is silk? Felt poly and I figured at that price, had to be.
DeleteCan you please check the label inside the dress? Thanks so much.
DeleteI'm not at the store, sorry.
DeleteSome J.Crew and J.Crew Factory reviews on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love some of the Abigail Borg prints. The only styles that might work for me are the skirt and the tank top. Without being included in the promo, I'll wait on these. I should have ordered the skirt when it first came out in the last roll out, as it was included in promo for the first day or two. I'm also interested in the Evie flats in seaweed, but while not "excluded" from promo, the % off does not apply. So while I won;t be ordering anything at full price, I am encourage that there are actually items to add to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI bought all the Liberty items I was interested in but will wait for the Abigail Borg items to be included in the promo. I'm cautiously optimistic with this rollout! It's looking a bit more feminine, tailored, and colorful than before, and I placed my first substantial order in a long time. (Although, as much as I love Liberty everything, I do hope that J. Crew eventually will stop relying on collaborations as much for prints and start designing more of their own in-house.)
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate the generous promo and the straightforward nature of the Rewards program with free shipping!
I agree with you on the prints, as it seems the J crew prints offered are fairly uninspired compared with the collaborations.
DeleteI didn’t order any Abigail Borg stuff since it was excluded from the promo. But I did pick up the liberty collared tippi, liberty skirt, a salut tee in red/white (though that was impulse buy - probably a return because I don’t need another graphic tee), and a lightweight tippi to try out. I like that the lightweight tippi has some cotton mixed in so I can hopefully wear all year. I get quite hot teaching but don’t always want short sleeves in the fall. I’m interested in the sequin Jackie in burgundy and navy and might pick that up still. Overall, some pretty styles and a positive move forward.
ReplyDeletei was also eyeing the collared tippi. the one from last season didn't work on me, but this one is very cute!
DeleteThere is also another one that is bright cobalt blue with a blue and white striped collar.
Delete@Cheritheberry, Do you have the item number for the bright cobalt with blue and white stripe Tippi please? Thanks very much
DeleteI'm sorry Lynn, I won't be back at the store until Friday. Perhaps Ina or another JCA can help.
DeleteLynn, the Chicago J Crew (North Michigan Ave.) definitely had that cobalt Tippi with the collar.
Delete@shopalot, thank you very much for the store info. I live in Monte-Carlo though, which is why I need an item number. Tried my VPS unable to reach her. Odd it can’t be found online. Thanks Cheri for replying as well.
DeleteI’m finding myself drawn to the Point Sur and Universal Standard stuff with the deep color palettes and shapes/styles. Love the Free shipping with the rewards program! What a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteJust bought the Abigail Borg coated cotton tote and tried some of the new arrivals: sequin jackie,AB printed pants,liberty shirt,jacket,dress,sweater with bow. Also AB tank.
ReplyDeletePosted a pic of the tote and @allison Borg commented on it:)
Deleteso cool!
DeleteI saw the tote at the store today - so pretty! I bought the $8 Borg tote bag as I needed an extra item to reach $100 to use the $20 off coupon that expires today. Really liking a lot of the new arrivals. Will order the Liberty shirt and few other things as the store was not offering any promotion. Thanks to you ladies for the previews and reviews. It is so helpful!
DeleteJust posted a tons of reviews!
DeleteI bought the Liberty puffer jacket. I missed out on last year's version, plus this was included in the promo. I hope I love it. Yesterday I bought the Factory version of the quilted downtown field jacket online. I tried it on over the weekend in store. It's part of the Mercantile line and it was a surprise love when I tried it on. We'll see how it holds up over time.
ReplyDeletePics and review of that puffer jacket are up
DeleteThanks, Ina! I was worried it may run large. Hope I'm not sized out.
DeleteI’ll probably pull the trigger on the liberty floral button up shirt and the liberty skirt. I’d love to try that Abigail Borg shirt dress but it’s not available in petite sizing and I think it will just be too long.
ReplyDeleteNot Jcrew related but thismorning I got a code for $25 off at Madewell, so definitely will make a trip to the mall! I'm not sure if everyone/ some people get the code, so check your inbox!
ReplyDeleteYes more people got the $25
DeleteVery surprised to receive the Madewell email with a $25 off code. I will definitely take a look as I haven't purchased from them in a long time.
DeleteYou guys are so lucky. If anyone doesn't want it, I would like to use it. Thank you!
DeleteFran, I have a code I won't be using. Let me know where to send it.
DeleteYou could email me at fwong2@gmail.com. Thank you so much, MBaker!
DeleteYay. Thanks for bringing this to my attention shopalot. I might have missed mine in my overflowing inbox! I’m not really a Madewell shopper but $25 is worth a trip to the store to check it out.
DeleteIts really hidden in the bottom of an email! I only noticed it after reading this, so thank you. Not sure what to get but I'll,find something,
DeleteThe loyalty program sounds great and happy to hear my American friends will enjoy it. Sadly no loyalty program for us in Canada.

ReplyDeleteThough I'm pleased with the new rollout, does anyone else find J crew's dresses rather matronly? I'm petite, so while these styles might look nice on fashion models, I look frumpy in these mid length shirtdress styles.
ReplyDeleteI also wish some of the new offerings came in petite sizing
DeleteI agree, that's another reason I have started to look elsewhere.
DeleteAlso agree. Same with the skirts. Lengths aren’t flatteting on me and I do not feel like paying to get things altered.
Deleteyeah, midi skirts don't work for me either.
DeleteApparently I'm in the minority, but I love that they're finally offering some longer skirts. I'm tall and I'm old and I have no interest in skirts that are so short I have to worry about exposing my privates. *shakes cane*
DeleteI prefer good old knee length. In the heyday of the No 2 pencil skirts they hit right above my knee cap. I miss that length. No everything is too short too long. There seems to be no in between
DeleteI'm happy enough with the rollout to order a few things (it has been a long time). I still wish there were more frilly things, but I realize I'm in the minority. I wonder if the Point Sur high neck dress will be made into a top - that would be pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnother $25.00 off promo code from Madewell this morning. I suspect it may be a glitch in their system
ReplyDeleteI got a little more excited but the code number is the same as the one they sent yesterday. Only good til Saturday though.
DeleteI had meant to add it was the same code as yesterday’s. I went to use it again last night and was unable to do so. CS has mentioned it was a one time only code and could not be used again. I am going to contact them directly again to find out what’s going on.
DeleteI think the $25 was so easy to miss in the first email (only found it because so many had posted here) that the second email was to make sure their customers actually knew Madewell sent a $25 off code. I would have certainly missed it in the first email, so I was thankful for the second reminder.
Deletetotally agree. i didnt notice until i saw the second email this morning.
Deletewhat are yall getting?
madewell $25 promo code, enjoy!
