J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs!}

This is the weekly "J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs}" post, to help each other share our reviews.

So if you have recently purchased, or stopped by a J.Crew store to try on an item (or two) from J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Also, this request is not just limited to clothes. Please feel free to discuss bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, etc.

In particular, if you could mention a few of the noteworthy details like fit, size, fabric, and the like— that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! :)

J.Crew's April 2014 Catalog on Pinterest

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Susan (in this post), who let us know that there are several images from the April 2014 catalog on Pinterest. (Click here for J.Crew on Pinterest.) The catalog is already available in J.Crew stores. Plus, it is being shipped out to customers via snail mail.

Word among several JCAs is that the next roll out of new arrivals (online) is this Wednesday. Brick & mortar stores might already have items on the floor.

Honestly, I am sooooo over Winter. Looking at images of Spring / Spring clothing is a welcome retreat. ;)

What are your thoughts on the upcoming collection? Are there any pieces you are super excited about? Does your local store carry any of the new arrivals yet? If so, please share!

It's Back {again}! Extra 40-50% Off Final Sale at J.Crew

"Thanks!" to  many of you, including YoungJJ (in this post), who shared the following email & promotion from J.Crew.

J.Crew is offering 40-50% off Final Sale with promotional code EXTRA40. This offer expires tomorrow, March 18, 2014. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid on the purchase of final sale items at jcrew.com from March 17, 2014, 12:01am ET through March 18, 2014, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. To redeem, enter code EXTRA40 in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change. Final sale items cannot be returned or exchanged.

J.Crew has a nice update to their Sale (click here to shop online) section online this morning. Lots of merchandise (1650+ for Women and 700+ for Men). There were over 1850+ items for women last night. As one would expect, things are selling out.

I am thrilled to see this promotion back. Especially since brick & mortar stores started offering the same promotion over the weekend. I am just confused as to why it is only for two days. I have said this before and I will say it again: just keep this promotion until the sale section dwindles down to a few hundred items. There is too much merchandise just sitting around final sale.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? If so, please share!
