If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to take advantage of what's left in the post holiday sales, the additional 30%-50% off sales, or to see some new Spring/ Resort arrivals 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!
Still looking for the Studio Ball Skirt in a size 8 and up. I've called most stores by now and they're all sold out *but* if anyone runs across this rare skirt or is interested in selling please let me know! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteMaria
OT, but I'm hoping another JCA can help! I too am now "forbidden" from entering the JC site-- i.e., when I try to open the homepage, I get a white screen that says "Forbidden" and something like "server access denied". I've tried all of the suggestions that JCAs posted, but to no avail. So, if anyone else knows how to solve this problem, please pass it on! TIA :)
ReplyDeletesorry for the ot, what's the name of that model in lattice cami?
ReplyDeletejackie from dc: what the exact address you use when trying to visit the site?
ReplyDeleteJackie, no help here but I'm having the same problem. I can't zoom in on anything, click on any items, zilch. It seemed to happen after I click through the catalog rather quickly...could that have been the problem?
ReplyDeleteHi - Looking for the Lille heavy wool pique coat in majestic purple, sz 2, 4, or 6 (4 preferred) and the Spectator mary janes in graphite in a 10. Thanks! I'll be at 2 B&Ms this weekend so I'll be on the lookout for everyone else's wants:)
ReplyDeleteCleo26: I type in www.jcrew.com, and it defaults to http://www.jcrew.com/index.jsp . Same thing happens in Firefox and IE. Booooooo
ReplyDeleteAnon@1246am: That's true for me too-- no probs until I viewed the new catalog. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... the plot thickens!
looking for
ReplyDelete*silk dupioni skirt in golden cypress in sz 0
*carrie coat in any color in sz 0
thanks! i too will be doing a last jcrew spree through the 4-5 b&ms in my area if the roads are clear enough tomorrow! i've been cooped up at home for the last two days because of the snow storm...,will report back!

ReplyDeletejo
Stopped by Palo Alto store to pick up a catalog - sale section was not good. There are some size 11 shoes and suede corral flats, but it's looking pretty sad. Still some kya camis and a messy tub of green metallic belts.
ReplyDeleteI know this isn't the exchange but I plan to return a pewter polka dot size 2 cherie cami. Let me know ASAP if you want it (they are all sold out in regular sz2 and it's a catalog only item). I lucked out and got the P0 that is my normal size : )
mayyybe thinking of returning a sz0 charcoal berry astrid that I got during December. Has anyone returned the "non-final sale" Dec items recently? 60 days is ticking away...
jackie - (anon 1246 here) Same exact thing with the URL. And I tried Firefox + IE. I've cleared my cache along with my cookies, neither did a thing for me!
ReplyDeleteIm looking for opera gloves in black or dark cloud in any length if you find one do let me know.
ReplyDeletealso, I need a topcoat in xlarge for my dad. any color will do :) thanks
stopped by the austin domain b&m today and they're running the 50% off winter (75% off for employees!) and 30% off spring. there were a lot of kya camis at 30%. the winter stuff is VERY picked over, though. i found a half zip pullover cotton cashmere for my husband for $20, but the ladies section is down to the crazy brightly colored cords and extra larges. the only thing interesting to me were the smock-stitched tanks in ivory, medium to large at $19.99 + 50% off (online for $9.99).
ReplyDeletethe barton creek b&m had a medium shawl collared olive cashmere sweater a few days ago at $99, so now it should be $50 w/ 50% off. i'd go back for it, but i live in texas and don't need any more sweaters.
off topic, but banana republic started their 30% additional off sale today. online is okay, but b&m at the domain was amazing. every other person was walking around the domain with a little orange bag.
i also walked into madewell for the first time. i love the style, and the sales people were so helpful. i might have to follow them a little more closely =)
I don't think I'll be visiting this weekend. However, I did visit today & ended up with the Anchor Belt. Might be my favorite spring release so far.
ReplyDeletejackie from dc: Have you gone into your security settings in IE -Tools- Internet Options - Sites to see is the JC site is forbidden, you might want to add their address as being a safe site to view.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Beachwood, OH store today. 50% off winter stuff... which was basically a bunch of random stuff, none of which was very exciting. I did buy their last pair of shoes. They also had 30% off spring. And the usual new arrivals. There was really nothing of note to report....
ReplyDeleteI'm attending a Special Event showcasing the new Spring Arrivals tomorrow morning at my B&M...the new jewelry came in earlier this week, and I'm curious to see how large and possibly heavy it is IRL. The earrings in the catalog are beautiful...I saw similar ones at Target when I was there earlier this week, and it will be interesting to compare the two.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the harlow in fresh guava in a size 8 or 10 in their stores?
ReplyDeletejackie from dc - I emailed J Crew to ask - and they told me to email them my IP address and they will look into it further.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to send them an email with your IP address and a screen shot of the error msg. that you get.
Hi all
ReplyDeleteLike Jackie from DC, last week I had the green screen on my bookmarks, and today my problems got worse: I cannot access J.Crew at all. I get a "forbidden" message when I try to access the home page. Cleaning cookies/restarting my modem haven't helped. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? I sent an email to the "contact us" email yesterday; no response. Today I sent another (and cc'd it to Mickey Drexler, a first for me--I never imagined doing that, but this has to be costing him more business than just mine). I also tried a proxy this morning and couldn't get in, and as casualcrew suggested, I added J.Crew as a safe site, but no no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm done with FS but if anyone is interested ... Target has some VERY cute J.Crew-like Spring shoes right now. I bought the Tatiana pump in Blush pink and there is a new strappy gold sandal, the Merona Maliyah 32.99 and looks just like overpriced J.Crew version! And they shipped the same day I ordered! Can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteAnon @5:55: ITA about the shoes at Target, as well as some other items they have. I actually blogged about them the other night:
ReplyDeleteFFM's Fabulous Find and Does This Remind You Of A Certain J.Crew Bag? ...the prices are phenomenal for those who want the look of J.Crew for a lot less money. I also tried the Leopard flats that were discussed earlier this week and they are great, as well. Very cute IRL. :)
mary2062: Is your IP address assigned to you, and it never changes, mine is like that, so rebooting your modem will not work for you. If this is the case contact your service provider to see if it is possible to get an new IP address.
ReplyDeleteFFM I love your blog! I get so many ideas from all of you because honestly, I can't afford regular-price J. Crew. Especially the shoes!
ReplyDeletecasual crew
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, but if J.Crew is blocking ip addresses, then changing it would just be a bandaid until they block me again, no?
Forgive my question...I'm not an IT person at all. How does one find an ip address?
Can anyone help with a description of the key lime shade in the merino sweater? Online colors are not true to life and I don't have a store near me. Thanks for any help.
ReplyDelete(ie the sour lemon from last season was so different than online pics)
I've already been and am planning to go back to purchase a cardigan that I liked and decided I must have :)
ReplyDeleteI realize this is a reeeeally long shot... but if anyone sees a double-serge pencil skirt in bright blue, size 10 in their store - could you put it on hold for me? TIA!
ReplyDeletechristinadeal [at] gmail [dot] com
maryw2062: No a change in IP address should work, since it will be a new address to J Crew.
ReplyDeleteNot knowing what version of Windows you are using will be hard to give instructions how to find it, it should be in the Control Panel under your Network connections, it might be easier to call your service provider and ask.
i went to my b&m last night in westfarms. nothing much exciting to report either. the 50% winter was one little rack with random stuff. saw a pembridge (i think that's what it's called) gold dot skirt in an 8, a black madeline dress in a 10, one long medium black puffer, and a think a black lille in a 4. the spring stuff was also 30%. they had a bunch of spring dot nicky's in sizes 0-6.
ReplyDeleteWas hoping to buy the primrose garden necklace (was on sale for $115) in capri today, however I checked it yesterday and the sale price is now the new price. Missed out on the 30% off for that item.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone sees it for 30% off let me know please. Thx
So, let me get this straight...stores have 30% off all spring stuff???
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteI have my coffee and warm robe on and am shopping JCrew . . .all's right with the world (after being 'forbidden' on Wednesday).
jackie from dc: It has NOTHING to do with your computer - JCrew has been having website issues all week and their server is blocking your IP address . . .it's not worth the time jumping through hoops to try and change your address (especially if you are wireless and need to do it through your router). I was without access for 24 hours and then *bingo* the homepage loaded. IT is aware of the issue, and is 'supposedly' fixing it . . .just like everything else about this website has been 'fixed' . . .
jackie from dc: sounds as if this is beyond anything on your end, especially after reading the suggestions from casual-crew and others. You should have to tinker with your settings, renew your IP, etc. to reach a publicly accessible site.
ReplyDeleteI would escalate this problem at J.Crew and would follow up on the email with a phone call letting them know you haven't received answers to your email. The CS will usually alert technical support to your inquiry so that they respond quicker.
Not 30% off all spring stuff, but the spring stuff that is on sale is an extra 30% off. At least that was my experience :)
ReplyDeleteThere are cascading flower astrids online right now, search by item number 99457. All small sizes and a 12 in ivory.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for the Crystal Snowball Necklace, item 11150. Please let me know if anyone sees it anywhere or if you have one you'd like to sell. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI dream of J. Crew: Thanks for the tip on the cascading flowers jacket! I've been stalking it every morning but have yet to catch one in ivory :(
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm looking for two crewcut coats, one for a boy one for a girl For boys: size L or XL of the navy peacoat or the toggle coat. Then a second coat for girl. Preferably a peacoat in M or L (navy would be the best choice) but open to any peacoat or even a puffer coat. If found, please post or hold under Skol. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaryw2062,
ReplyDeleteTo find your IP,
1. click "start"
2. click "run"
3. type "cmd" in the pop-up window, then "OK" it
4. "cmd" window will pop-up, type in "ipconfig", then "enter", you will see your IP address.
I would like to make a suggestion for a future post...
ReplyDeleteThere has been SO much negative stuff said here about J. Crew's tees. I, however, have been buying them up left and right from final sale to affordably prepare for spring/summer. I don't want to make any expensive mistakes.
I think it would be interesting to see a post titled, "What is you all-time favorite J. Crew tee and WHY?" I think it would help us all out with current and future purchase decisions.
Just a thought!
Has anyone heard from kitchy lately? It is really important that I get in touch with her re: an item from the weekly exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAlso - person looking for harlow in guava. I returned one to the georgetown store (D.C.) on monday. Might be worth a try!
TIA!
I'm not able to change my IP address using the directions I've found online, but I HAVE found a way to access the site for the time being! Going to www.proxify.com and then entering the site's address works because they let you access JC through a proxy (hide your IP). There is a pesky ad/navbar at the top, but I'll take that over nothing right now...
ReplyDeleteOT but there was just a huge restock online! for example, 10 min ago only 3 sale accessories, now 24! other items up too.
ReplyDeleteJust missed the Large Oslo Bag in terra cotta. Very upset! I got the dreaded green screen.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been to the Georgetown Jcrew recently - is there anything left in the women's sale section?
ReplyDeleteI, too, purchased the Tatiana pumps in blush from Target and thought about talking about it on this blog b/c they look so "JC". Can't wait to wear them this summer with some cafe capris (from last year, of course! ;) I'm out of money! Need to stop shopping!
ReplyDeleteOn topic, my B&M was having extra 30% off sale yesterday and it was totally picked over except for some short-sleeved cardis, but I already had it in pink. No purchases! Yea!
You gals have inspired me to visit Target the first time today!
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up - yesterday I went to my B&M after work and scored a double serge pencil skirt in deep persimmon for $21.25. It was 50% off sale price of $49.99 and then I used my student discount on top of that.
ReplyDeleteI noticed they have plenty left at Rockefeller Center but only in size 8 and a few 10 (I think I got the last 6) and Madison Ave. and 45th they had some mostly 10 and 12. Snag one if you can!
There is a P6 Black Maggie for 79.99 plus 30% off online right now - great deal for the right person!
ReplyDeleteSans,
ReplyDeleteThank your for the url! I haven't been able to get on J.Crew since yesterday afternoon!
O/T (sorry):
ReplyDeleteWow, has anyone taken a look at Martin and Osa's website today. There are some really cute outfits, just not on sale yet. I have not purchased from them. It's time to check them out.
Speaking of jcrew shoe replacements, can anyone recommend some comfortable, stylish pumps and/or knee length boots? I need some for work-but since I will do alot of walking around I am willing to pay more money for the comfort. I just cant risk being uncomfortable in any of the jcrew shoes.
ReplyDeleteI tried on the "Sun bleached appliqué tee" last weekend. I like the applique itself, the fabric of the tee, and the colors; BUT it didn't work for me because of the high crew neck. I thought it might just be me but after seeing one of the J.Crew employees wearing it and seeing the model on the website wearing it, I think the high neckline isn't particularly flattering on many.
ReplyDeleteAny takes on Liquid-gold sequin skirt in S? I am returning mine to b&m store today, can put it on hold if interested.:)
ReplyDeleteWhile we're on the topic of "the look for less", Chloe bought this necklace at Target and it looks just like the new JCrew one.HTH!
ReplyDeletesherbie or anyone looking for Spectator Peeptoe Dusty Rose size 10M call Frontenac store-St Louis, MO (2 pair left on addl sale)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about buying the high heeled flare jeans (aka mom jeans) on FS since it is the last day of the sale. But I've never bought pants or jeans from JC, just skirts. I am a 0 in the skirts but for pants I think I would size up AT LEAST to a 2 b/c pants tend to be tight in the thigh area on me. So I was thinking a size 26?? I have heard they fit big...can anyone advise?
ReplyDeleteBut it may not be too risky; so far none of my FS items have been marked FS on the invoice...is anyone else finding this???
I'm sure this is hopeless at this point, but I'm looking for the cashmere Janelle in Med. I haven't seen one in the last 2-3 re-stocks, so I'm probably out of luck, but thought I'd check.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have an opinion on short length? I bought 3 different lengths. I know I am keeping the 11" bermuda. THe others are the 9" and the 5". I am almost 39, are 5" shorts too short? Will I look too dumpy mom in 9" shorts? I am 5'10", about 135 lbs, decent shape - no cellulite hanging out of the shorts. Thanks for any opinions!
ReplyDeletesize 8 golden roses dress at the j crew in rockafeller center NY
ReplyDeleteGeorgine,
ReplyDeleteI don't think the 5" would look too short as long as you are comfortable in them. I have seen many people our age with that length short on and they look very tasteful and age appropriate.
I am about the same age as you and I stick to the bermuda, 9" and 7", but only because I would rather be wearing jeans if the weather permitted. The longer length allows me to feel like I have something on my legs without being too hot.
Hope that helps!
Smarty: I just bought that Target necklace yesterday for $5!! I would say it's almost identical to the JC one that is out. Same quality, weight, etc....Awesome deal!
ReplyDeleteGeorgine: Definitely get the 5 inch shorts. I'm not as tall and/or as fit, it seems (LOL!) and I wear them. Bermuda shorts do not necessarily make one look thinner. It's wear the short hits your thigh....it needs to be in the right spot. As long as you are comfortable, go for it! I'm 40 and I wear them!!
^ "where" not "wear", sorry for the typo!
ReplyDeleteovies: I purchaed the HHF jean and love it - I think the higher waist is actually more fashion forward now than low rise. Anyway, we seem to be the same size on the bottom & size 26 worked for me. I also wear 26 in JC bootcut jeans and a 27 in matchstick. I also had the same experience with some FS items not being marked FS on the invoice. In fact, I successfully returned something I purchased on FS.
ReplyDeletereally, FS items ordered online aren't all being marked FS? And so I can take them back?
ReplyDeleteI noticed on the order confirmation that only some of items purchased FS were marked FS in red, but didn't think anything of it...
Looking for Zoey tank in blue jasmine size 0/2/4.
ReplyDeleteI got the Target Maliyah gold strappy sandals and they are amazing. TTS and beautiful. Not sure how they will hold up over time, but for the price unbeatable! Very cute turquiose/navy/green earrings as well. Will go back for those tomorrow. Gotta love Target!!
I know this is probably pointless but...

I am looking for the silk duponi skirt in a 12 - any color, I am just kicking myself for not buying all the other times I had the chance. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLissa, in terms of comfort there is nothing better than Cole Haan Nike Air... I recently got 3 pairs of boots from them and I walk a lot since I live in NYC and my feet are loving these boots. They also look pretty fantastic. I got mine on sale for about $170 which I consider a great deal. Its worth checking them out!
ReplyDelete^^WAIT! Anon-Ashley has sz 2 blue Jasmine ZOey for $30 shipped!! See: http://sbash123.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHi ovies:
ReplyDeleteI bought the 26 in HHF. I'm usually a 0 in skirts and a 2 in pants, but in some pants I wear a 0.
So, try the 26. The stretch fabric in these pants doesn't grow as much as other stretch fabrics I've worn lately.
anon, 10:52
ReplyDeletecall catalog and ask them to do a WWFIFY. I called yesterday and expressed my desperation for a dupioni in golden cypress and she said that they don't usually do one for sale items but that she'd do it for me since it seems like i really wanted one...so it's worth a try esp since its 29.99 + 30% off in the stores as well! I just got an email this morning, saying that they found one and they're sending it to me! =)
bug pin and anon@1048: I think I actually bought that zoey from ashley a few days ago. It should arrive today or tomorrow. I will let you know if it doesn't work out though :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a size 4 charcoal berry astrid that doesn't fit, NWT, from the final sale. . . I bought it for about $100, plus shipping. Anyone interested?
ReplyDeleteemail me at janna_welborn@yahoo.com if interested.
To find out your IP you can also go to whatsmyip. Question for those of you getting the green screen -- do any of you use Google Chrome as your browser? If you have it installed try going to J.Crew's site in an incognito tab. (Click on the tools icon -- the one that looks like a wrench -- and choose new incognito window). It probably won't work if J.Crew is IP blocking but it's worth a shot.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching this blog for sometime and always get such great ideas (as well as the FFM site!) and this is my first comment! Just a quick note that the North Ave store in Chicago is having an additional 50% off FS items. There is not a huge array of items (though I did I did just get the Floral Ruffle Astrid jacket for $30 and a hammered silk tank in rhubarb for $9!).
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone own both the matchstick cords and matchstick jeans? Are the sizes consistent? I wear a 27 in the cords and want to buy the jeans. Should I order a 27 as well? TIA
ReplyDeletespeaking of Target.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the string of pearl necklaces by designer Dean Harris that are on cleaarance now for $19.98. I already have the pink and just ordered the grey from their website.
They are good quality have nice weight, can be doubled up as a double-strand choker They are all around fabulous basic pieces.
The set that they call pink are more of a creamy white.
The Target bubble necklace looks nice! But isn't it a lot smaller than the JC one?
ReplyDeletethe pearl necklaces that I raved about are called the "vine shell pearl necklace", measure 40" and are on clearance for $20.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lyssa, I second the endorsement for Cole Haan Nike Air shoes! I have boots, heels & flats from them and they truly are the most comfortable shoes ever! I could walk around in them all day. I've never paid full price, but have had luck finding them at Nordstrom Rack & smartbargains.com at great prices. They wear really well and the quality is superb.
ReplyDeleteWhile I love the thrill I get from Target shoes, I often find my feet blistered and sore by day/night's end. I recently wore the shoes below to a 3 hour company party with my J.Crew Hilary dress. They were on clearance at my local store for only $8. But man. Ouch, ouch, ouch! :(
http://www.target.com/Merona-Luciana-Peep-Toe-Pumps-Black/dp/B001BR7IX8/sr=1-1/qid=1233332460/ref=sr_1_1/184-2437250-1065849?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aluciana&page=1
I totally think there are a lot of Target shoes (and some jewelry) that looks a lot like J Crew's, but the Target shoes seem to fit peculiarly. Every single pair I've tried on is too wide for my feet and too small on my toes. I definitely J Crew's shoes better and they're worth spending the money on...if I can find them in my size!
ReplyDeletejcbellemarie - I am returning a size 2 bright blue berry astrid today, from the Dec non-final sale shopping spree. While I really like it, I don't love love it on me... it gapes too much in the chest area (I am a 34C), so I'm giving it a chance to be properly loved by someone else.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, apparently everyone really liked that Target necklace I posted about! I went to check out and it is GONE. Good get for those who snagged them! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyone had any luck returning or exchanging FS items? I bought a jacket too early that I saw has come up in the perfect colour and I'm wondering whether to pull the trigger. I don't mind getting a gift card, but do they ask for ID when you do a return of that type?
ReplyDeleteanon, 11:17
ReplyDeletewhat sizes did they have in the hammered silk tanks? did they have anything in a zero? and what else do you remember from the sale section? i'm thinking of making a trip...
Marietta,
ReplyDeleteWhere are you returning that berry astrid? Email me please, jassjane@hotmail.com. TIA!!
anon 11:17,
ReplyDeletei have 5 pairs of the matchstick cords in various colors as well as the matchstick jeans in two colors, ultra dark and the lighter color...strangely i took a 26S in the cords and a 25 in the jeans...but for me its because i wanted the cords to be fairly comfy and cords that are too tight seem a bit much to me and they are more prone to shrinkage after washing...while the jeans they tend to stretch and generally you want them tighter...? hope this helps.
Has anyone ever seen an IRL of the bubble necklace being worn? I have been digging it for so long, and love the new colours. But am a bit worried that its a whole lotta necklace...
ReplyDeleteI also haven't been able to access jcrew.com since yesterday afternoon, right after I was browsing the catalog (and clicking through it a bit quickly, I suppose)... This is the response I keep getting:

ReplyDeleteThank you. That makes perfect sense to me. By the way, how do you like the lighter wash? Is it the 'crisp blue' wash. Does it look like a natural faded denim or 'bleached' shade?
I just wanted to say Thank You to Twiga who told me that a JC store in Milwaukee had an uptown tote I was looking for.
ReplyDeleteI got the bag in the mail yesterday and I LOVE it. It is perfect for me. I got the Ivory/Regal color. The leather is very nice and sturdy, not soft per se but that's OK because this bag will get a work-out.
Question about the Carte de la france tee...
ReplyDeleteI have bought two of these in the dark slate since the final sale +30% off sale and I am in LOVE. I am seriously considering getting this one in pewter off Ebay if it doesn't pop back up in final sale.
Anyway, is the pewter tee the same thick cotton that the dark slate is? Is it see-through at all or does a nude bra work underneath?
I don't mind paying more for this one if it's as good quality as the one I have. TIA!
Pudding:
ReplyDeleteAre you asking about the bubble necklace that originally came in papaya, turquoise and black, and now is in grey? I had the papaya necklace, and while it IS a lot of necklace, as long as you keep the rest of your outfit simple, I don't think it's overwhelming. If you want, I can send you a picture of the necklace on me...

HTH!
JaneEsq - I just sent you an email
ReplyDeleteHi all, thanks to everyone who commented on the mom - I mean the high heeled flare jean. I think I'll take the plunge. I think I'll go with the 26 but am a bit apprehensive still. I'm about 5'3 and 1/2 and 120 pounds, small frame, with a 'pear' body shape. I hope it works out! Any more advise before I pull the trigger is always welcome.
ReplyDeleteBTW, props to anyone who can pull off those matchsticks. Those are some tight pants!
For those having issues with the site- I too was having the same issues described and so I called CS to place my order and got possibly the nicest CS person ever!!! She noticed that I had asked for a new password for signing into the site and that I had not re-set it yet. (because I tried to 7 times with no luck???) So after placing my order she re-set the password and said now you will be able to login into the 'NEW' system?? I asked what she meant by 'new' system and she said that I had placed my last online order through the old system and that was probably why part of it was cancelled. She said the old system was more paper based and the new system was all electronic therefore orders are processed much more quickly... I then logged on and it was like I was on a new site!!! Ok so I am not an IT guru, but it worked??
ReplyDeleteTwiga
Re: Carte de la france tee...
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I could control the urge and I got one off Ebay for $30 including shipping. I forgot that tomorrow the 30% off doesn't work anymore and $30 is just a few more dollars than I would have to pay through J Crew at $19.99 plus shipping and tax ($28).
Dani from CA- glad to hear you got the bag!!
ReplyDeleteTwiga
I have 25S matchstick jeans in premium indigo. The waist band has a 1.5 inch gape. Same size matchstick cords showed a 3 inch gape. (have a slight 'bubble' butt) Everything else fit the same: the thigh, length, knee, and leg. Unlike the jeans, the cords felt to me they'd stretch out even more by the end of the day. I heard they 'might' shrink but didn't wash and risk not able to return them. Kept the jeans but not the cord. [sad, took me so long to track that pair down]
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a picture od this target necklace? I am dieing to see it!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the perfect fit flower tank in a small or medium (any color!) in stores? I missed it on final sale and I REALLY want one! or however many colors i can get my hands on!
ReplyDeleteThe target vine pearl necklace - any idea how large are the shell pearls?
ReplyDeletelove the matchstick,
ReplyDeleteim actually wearing those right now and they are kinda umm how should i say...rather retro...since they are "blue" jeans kinda like the jordache ones from when i was younger so a very pretty blue...so not bleached but a natural blue jeans and they aren't as light as in the photo at least in my eyes...i thought i wouldn't be able to pull off such light jeans since i usually steer clear and go with the dark skinnies but i really like them a lot now...esp since the stitching on them are a really nice toned-down shade of orange which make 'em more special ..
today i'm wearing them with a skinny fit blue ralph lauren oxford (that is one tone darker), a white tank top as an extra layer, and a pair of olive hunter wellies, and my majestic purple sherpa puffer...
i believe slastena has some great IRL photos as well...at 29.99 why not!
^I posted a link to the Target pearl "cluster" necklace in my earlier post.
ReplyDeletethe B&M at Briarwood in Ann Arbor, Mi has almost nothing left at 50% off. A bunch of the sad grosgrain ribbon belts with the square rinestones in many colors, some slippers, and about six of the whisper lame tanks in the lt. orange all in size 12. The spring 30% was small too, less than what's online, some of the l/s merino cardis and some os the s/s cotton cardis.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed they stopped using Mallory from the Real World as a swimsuit model in the latest catalog. That makes me a little sad!
ReplyDeleteHeads up on the garland cami. I noticed some unraveling on the seams around the rib area on the two I tried on in-store. It was really subtle, but I would imagine with wear, it would get worse. I only noticed b/c I was stuck in a dressing room for a long time with nothing to do.
anon @ 12:28:

SS, I was sad to see Mallory go too! I liked that she looked healthy & fit (not scary skinny). I've noticed her in some ads for "American Living" (??1) clothes. I think it might be something sold at Sears or JcPenny. She was in a holiday Ann Taylor (Loft, maybe) ad as well. I wonder if that means her J.Crew days are over for good?
ReplyDeleteHarper cashmere sweater- a yes or no? I am thinking about getting the light celery or salmon to go w/ my spring dots Nicky and I don't know about the sizing. Does anyone have any info.
ReplyDeleteTIA
Has anyone seen any flats size 7 in their stores? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteemily: I saw one in the 50% markdown section at my b&m... I did not try it on but it was my usual size and I would have felt comfortable buying it without trying it on as it looked to definitely be TTS. Very cute too! I think it would look great with the Nicky skirt
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina - I remember the papaya, that was pretty. If it isn't too overwhelming in that colour, I imagine the new grey colour would be even slightly more subtle. I want it but $150 is steep!
ReplyDeleteEm, which b&m did you see the harper sweater? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteANON @ 6:29 AM - Key lime is not like sour lemon. I don't have a photo to show IRL, unfortunately as I returned the item (portland cardi). I would have exchanged it for the same color, but they didn't have it in the store. Anyway, it's like a light chartreuse. Think electric light green and that's close. It's not garish, though. This is in the Portland cardi. Haven't seen it in other fabrics, I don't think.
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago I got the dreaded forbidden. Now it is back. Help! What is going on? I got an email back from jcrew and they were ZERO help. Are they trying to drive me away and make me dislike them?
ReplyDeleteBeachwood, OH, was where they had one harper sweater, tropical aqua, size small. They also had like 10 quinn camis in the orange color, all size 8, which I thought was very strange. Otherwise they have basically nothing.
ReplyDeleteI know this is the wrong post but since I'm already posting something I will just tack this on... I am selling a Cherry Guava uptown tote on ebay that I got but never used because I was totally on the fence about it. It's item #230322596577 if anyone's interested. I'm starting it at what I paid!
Thanks for the info., Gigiofca on the key lime color.
ReplyDeleteI am open to more interpretations or if anyone has any IRL. Thanks a ton!
Dusty Rose Peeptoes -
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the tip but I got my favorite PS to track some down for me. Now I've moved on to looking for them in graphite:)

Anon 10:33 and Leslie, thanks for the help. I think I'll keep the 5" and bermuda and return the 9". Maybe I'll buy my husband something. Thanks again. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suilove. I already ordered a pair! Fantastic deal at 30% off. It will be my first pair of matchstick jeans. I love the cords and don't know why I didn't do the jeans earlier.
ReplyDeleteemily, I bought harper sweater and in XS. If you are after a fitted look then consider buying a size smaller.
ReplyDeleteSmarty: if you are still looking for the Target pearl cluster necklace there was one at my T yesterday. I'm happy to swing by today and grab it for you and send it off...just let me know. My email is malfitano@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteAnon wondering about KEY LIME:
ReplyDeleteI have that portland sweater and I love the color. its more bold than the color in the picture online. online makes it look more light and almost like a pastel. email me and I can send you a IRL photo of the sweater. HTH!

eh if anyone was looking for the caroline jeweled heels in root in 6.5 i did a wwfify awhile back and they sent me a root when i requested for black and i already have root..
ReplyDeletej.monicakim at gmail
getting a tad bit worried about my wwfify on the golden cypress dupioni..i don't want any of the other colors cuz i already have them...
wow suilove! did you already go to your 4 or 5 B&M's? Report back findings! and i hope your wwfify comes out correct this time around!
ReplyDeletenope not yet! i'm waiting for my sister to get back from lunch ~ i'll definitely report back tho..i won't be going to cambridgeside galleria cuz they had practically nothing last time..i should be cleaning in the meantime but no...lol rather be on my computer..
ReplyDeleteOT SORRRRRY:
ReplyDeleteAnyone looking for Cherie Cami in Shell size 2, i relisted it on ebay. Surprisingly someone bought my tissue chiffon rosette tee for 20 bucks from the $10 i was asking. So now I can lower the price of the Cherie to cover my losses.
Its up for a mere $20 and $3 shipping if you want to take a look. You pretty much have 5 days to think it over. All you size 2 ladies its a steal! Its sold out in that color right now. I wish they had a 0 in it :(
username: ashylashy123
ps: my Jenna bracelet is still pretty cheap compared to the other listings. if anyone is in dire and desperate need for one. it was too chunky for my little wrist. :(
suilove:
ReplyDeletelol. you and your sister are so lucky to attack all the B&Ms together. i feel bad dragging my bf to the mall.
i pretty much bought a third of your sister's closet. if you find anything great that you don't end up liking, im sure the weekly exchange will gobble it all up! :)(including me)
Has anyone seen the Slub silk-habotai gladiola dress IRL? wondering how bright the yellow is and if the background color is grey or what? thanks.
ReplyDeletesorry OT, but it seems like there are some skinny ladies on here -- perhaps one of you will benefit:
ReplyDeleteI have a new pair of Paige Premium Denim "Blue Heights" skinny jeans in the color "Eclipse Wash". I'm normally a 27 in Paige, but tried for the 26 since they were out of my size. (and hey, I just got the HHF JCrew jeans in 26).
They are too small for me : ( Washed once, never worn. I think you can try them on at Nordstrom if you're not sure of your size. $125 + shipping or best offer (please take advantage and give them a good home!).
jcbellemarie at gmail
Love the Matchstick - I have a pair of 27R that I'm selling. $50 shipped.
ReplyDeleteAshley - how does the cherie fit? i take a 2/4 in the victoria.
ReplyDeletecan i only apply my rewards card if i call cs or can i do it online?
ReplyDeleteSLASTENA: PLEASE PUT THE SKIRT ON HOLD FOR ME!!!
ReplyDeleteIM VERY INTERESTED!
Anon, the Cherie is very UNfitted. IMO. Its a flowy kind of shirt. I don't have a victoria so I can't really compare... But I'd say the sizing is parallel to the Zoey tank. I have a 2 in hammered silk and quinn but the 2 in Cherie was a bit big.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone else help to describe the fit? HTH!
and jcbellemarie, i'll put the picture on my blog. my email takes forever to send pics :)
Has anyone noticed they changed the look of the Cashmere short sleeve crewneck tee for spring? I wanted the salmon in small (with the raw edges - item#90589) and it looks like it's disappeared from the website along with all the other colors for first spring rollout. I'm not too fond of the new style with the rib trim edges. I called CS and they said the previous style is sold out. Could that be that ALL colors from the January catalog are sold out? I'm a little skeptical. Any ideas? I want the whole outfit on page 16 of the Jan catalog (salmon cashmere tee, fire gingham mens button down, garden primrose necklace in yellow).
ReplyDeleteAnyone looking for a Jenna bracelet? I am returning one tonight at the store for my Mom. If anyone is interested in it let me know and I can give you the store details. Or I can sell it directly for $65 including USPS Priority Mail shipping within the US. Email me at katie(dot)church(at)cox(dot)net
ReplyDeleteDallas Galleria has a double serge skirt in the persimmon orangy color sz 10 for 49.99 plus 50% off if anyone is looking for one.
ReplyDeleteI have a size 6 Golden Roses cherie cami that I'm returning tomorrow - sadly, it doesn't fit me!
ReplyDeleteIf you are interested in buying it before I return it, just let me know:
Christinadeal [at] gmail [dot] com
Went to the J. Crew at Stonestown Galleria in SF last night it was like 8:45pm and 15mins til closing! but I was sure happy to find they were giving extra 50% off final sale items yay! I finally got a jackie shell in bright fushia (which i weird because online theyre $44 again but i guess its like barely different new version or whatever byut anyway i got it for like nine bucks.. but yeahhh i woulda got a lot more stuff if i had more shop time!
ReplyDeleteJust received an email from JC, now through Sunday 2/8 receive 20% off entire purchase online, in store or phone, when you open a JC credit card.
ReplyDeletemy mom got the new feb magazine with a free shipping code for orders over 150 it is CS-989
ReplyDeleteoh dear. that free shipping code is going to be trouble for me
ReplyDeleteStacy,
ReplyDeleteI have used mine online in the past.
Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email to get that picture. Thanks!
ooops! forgot to mention the code is good from 1/31 thru 2/14!
ReplyDeleteDani-california, I will be returning Tuesday trench in Dune sz 4 to the store today. You were looking for it, I am not sure if you saw my previous reply to you. If you still want it, it will be on hold at Columbia store, MD under Ana.
ReplyDeleteStore #410 740 1118
Leslie: I just sent you an email. THANK YOU for being so thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteAnon re: Cherie sizing: I found it to run wider at the bottom than the Victoria, Kya, Annie/Garland. If you are a 2/4, the 2 should fit well. HTH!
I know this isn't the weekely exchange, but I have a navy blue sweater peacoat I am willing to part with from Summer '07, size small. At one time this item was sold out. I think I wore it once. I'm cleaning out the closet with things that don't fit my postpartum body. :) If you're interested, email me at jeclark@mac.com and I can send you pictures.
ReplyDeleteGRRRR THEY SAID WE CANT USE THE FREE SHIPPING AND THE 30% OFF AT THE SAME TIME!!! jcrew is GETTING ON MY NERVES
ReplyDeleteThe code works I did a mock order and it worked. Darn after I placed a order under just $150.00 today.
ReplyDeletedani_california, I'm glad you got the tote. I'm one of the Anons who answered your question about deciding between the Uptown and the Owen. The uptown was my first bag with Borge Garveri leather. At first I was disappointed that it wasn't very soft but the texture is addictive. I went on to buy the Frankie, small Oslo and Owen bags in the same leather and I totally love it.
ReplyDeleteThe tote is really useful and you got a great basic color. I like the suede inside as well, it's very soft and the Uptown is one sturdy bag. Enjoy!
I was anxiously awaiting for some Victoria Ruffle Camis to come in some new colors --- and the website has been updated to add them... The Streets of Chester (Women Only) in Chester NJ called to tell me that they got it in butterscotch and it is TDF. The color is even more beautiful in person (from her email) --- so I will be picking one up and using my rewards card! :)
ReplyDeleteChester does have some 50% late fall and 30% winter stuff but REALLY picked over!
Just got back from SF Stonestown Galleria. It is extremely picked over. Yes, there's additional 50% off, but not much stuff left.
ReplyDeleteAnon Re: Cherie Cami- It runs very big. I wear a 0 in the hammered silk tank and per CS's rec, I ordered a 2. It was huge! I had a lot of room in the arms and my husband said it looked like a maternity top. After having 2 kids, that is not the look I am going for. I am slim, but not a skinny minnie, and I am a 32DD. Definitely size down with this one.
ReplyDeleteAnon 4:20 I can not even tell you how much I love the Uptown tote bag. I'm completely sold on Borge now. I'm bummed that I passed on the Owen Hobos that were in the sale section. I could have easily used both bags, but I was trying to be good. Now that I have the tote and know how nice the leather is I have decided to stalk the site for the Owen Hobo (terre cotta is my fav color) and the Vachetta Uptown in Tan Rose.
ReplyDeleteslastena - WOW thanks! I did not see your previous post. I often lose track of these things. Can I asked why you decided to return it?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find a Maggie Coat in Grey 4T. If you find one, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteI got a putty Library Shawl Cardi at full price from the Westport, CT store because I liked it so much! I ended up with a small because of the long length- it fits very snug on my arms, but surprisingly had ample room in the back and everywhere else for that matter. The next size up swallowed my 5'4" frame too much, so this sweater will be worn with only tank tops underneath. I don't consider this a problem, I wear tanks and camis all summer.
ReplyDeleteIt is extremely flattering for someone with a larger size chest. I typically have problems with cardigans fitting well around my chest- I often have to go up a size and then it's over sized everywhere else. Not with this little gem! The deep neckline has a slimming effect without drawing attention to the girls.
The color is a beautiful neutral for brunettes (I'm sure for everyone else too) and the cashmere blend makes it very soft. I am afraid of the dreaded pilling but took my chances anyway. The light pewter was pretty as well, I own a lot of light pewter items already though.
I look forward to wearing this spring, summer, and fall.
WARNING: embossed Aubrey halter dress has a side zipper that puckers at the waistline making it look like you have a growth on your hip. NOT cute. I was very bummed, this dress looked fantastic otherwise. Bummer. The SA said she wished they kept the zippers down the back on the dresses.
Final sale extra 50% off is VERY picked over here: lots of short sleeve cardis ($25 after discount) in xsmall and small, light pink, fushia, light beige, yellow. TONS of ribbon belts in 3-4 styles for $6 or less. Cashmere henleys with the crystal buttons in a melon color, light beige, black ($50 after discount). Very cute brown and orange jersey summer dresses, with a tie around waist (not sure of name) for $25 after discount.
I wrote about my purchase here, I didn't think I'd get anything at the sale... but I wound up finding and loving the silk Clara cardi.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, I got it for $12.75... it was originally $125. Gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a pair of size Large, grey colored, leather Nappa gloves. I just lost mine yesterday and am heartbroken. Will someone let me know if they see any on sale somewhere? Many thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOk, well, since I am addicted to JCrew I went to my B&M AGAIN today, because they had an uptown tote in the 50% off section that I was too stupid to buy yesterday, so I went back for it. Here's a more detailed listing of what they have in the sale stuff:
ReplyDelete2 of the Carrie coats that tie at the neck, I think they were both size 6, and they were camel colored.
5-10 of the orange quinn camis, all size 8.
A bunch of matchstick cords, $29.99 plus 50% off, a variety of sizes, they had some 26s, 27s, and 29s.
In the 30% off section they mostly had tons of short sleeved cardigans still marked $59.99... and nothing else really. No shoes :(
But I am happy because I scored a multicolored uptown tote for $59.50.
That's Beachwood, OH b&m, by the way.
ReplyDeleteChristina-
ReplyDeleteJust sent you an email about the Golden Roses cami!
Oh yeah. They also had the gray cashmere cloud cardigan in the 50% off section, size Large. It was marked $199.99.
ReplyDeletekrista.alana: ITA with you. The Clara is such a pretty piece. I have the pewter, which goes with everything and the red (which is actually redder than orangey, thank God). So gorgeous I vought all 4 colors but I finally decided to be good and returned the navy and acorn. Women have stopped me walking down the street asking me where I got the Clara. The pictures on the JC website doesn't do it justice. It's no good over a long-sleeve tee - it just takes off a few notches of the clara's elegance. Much better as a short-sleeve cardi. Can't wait to wear it more when the weather warms up.
ReplyDeleteIf you see the chiffon Clara in pewter, small, please post here! I'm obsessed with it! TIA!
ReplyDeleteEm, would you consider selling the uptown tote at a buy-it-now price? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe Clara cardi is underrated. I paid full price for it and have not regretted it ever!
ReplyDeleteHello all - I have the Italian deco tank sz 0 that I will be returning sometime this weekend. Nothing wrong with it, just bought too much stuff! I can either put it on hold or ship it to you directly.
ReplyDeletejcrewaddict at gmail
krista: can you get me the same deal? :)
ReplyDeleteLyssa...don't know if you're still following this thread, but I would recommend the Indigo by Clarks line. They have the cutest shoes & boots and they are SO COMFY. I am a teacher and therefore on my feet all day, and I have yet to find a pair that doesn't work for me. Zappos has a pretty good selection of styles.
ReplyDeleteI just went through 3 days of backing up and reintsalling my ENTIRE system thinking that the "green page" was on my end. And here it's back- showing it's ugly face again
ReplyDeleteJCrewAddict - emailing you about the deco tank
ReplyDeleteAlso returning - cashmere sequin shell in heather wheat & heather silver both size small, gold lame skirt sz 2

I think I just found another case of bad photoshopping. Check out item #12788. That model's body is NOT shaped that way, if you look at pics of her in some of the other suits... looks like they took a little off the sides. Either that or it's a very odd picture...
ReplyDeleteA little OT, but wasn't someone looking for the Crackle Mary Janes in a 7.5? There are some up online now, and it looks like there's more sizes than what's been available previously as well.
ReplyDeletenicole r: chester is my home store too!! what town do you live in? i live in long valley and went to wmc :) how SMALL is that store though?? i can't believe they would even open a j crew that tiny!
ReplyDeleteOK. I need help! Today is the last day of the "extra 30%", and I have had the Ingrid peep toes in deep brown up on my computer ALL DAY! They have 16 pairs left ($189.00 -30%). Are they worth it? Or should I hold out to see if they lower the price?
ReplyDeletesoon to be phd - can you describe the jersey dresses a little bit more?? thanks!
ReplyDeleteJCrewAdorer, sure! There were a bunch left, but I believe there was only the "bright papaya" color. I love it, though. It looks great with denim! It's very similar to a tomato-red or a deep coral color. Just contact me!
ReplyDeleteDani-California; I l-o-v-e Tuesday Trench and chose it over Keegan. I paid full price for it only to find next day and it was abvailable on-line at $148 minus 30% off . I was able to get it online and returned the other one . Store did not offer 30% off on a "promo" items.
ReplyDeleteSo, it's on hold untill tomorrow if you still want it.
I'll be posting pics of it soon- a very very nice coat.
Shot in the dark...if anyone sees a FLORAL belle skirt (like the one seen here) size 6 in their store sale section please let me know! TIA!
ReplyDeleteOk - I know this is totally off OT, but I found something really funny on the website. For the Jack Purcell smeakers it asks ladies to order one and a half sizes down from your normal size. However, the shoes are only offered in full sizes. Looks like all the 7,8,9,10 ladies out there are just out of luck. You half size gals are good to go though!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from the Novi, MI store... not much left in the sale section, but a few things worth noting:
ReplyDelete- one madeline dress, size 2, black - marked $149.99, then 50% off
- one velvet ecole in the papaya color, size 8 - not sure on the price, but it was 50% off
- one "droopy flower" astrid, pink, not sure on size or price
- one black Francie skirt, size 6, $49.99, then 50% off
Additionally, I returned the Golden Roses cherie cami in a size 6, and a white Kya in size 8.
HTH!
sproutina - if i were you i would wait, and/or call the tysons galleria store in virginia to do a price check, last i went they had a lot and they might be cheaper there. hth!
ReplyDeleteRoxy - There might be a few of those left in the Danbury, CT store. I think I saw several there, but it might have been the plainer grey/white one. Worth a call at least. Their number is 203-748-3580
ReplyDeleteSproutina - I just picked up a pair in brown at the Madison Ave. store, they were $99.99 less 30%, so I paid $69.99. Definitely overpriced online, I would search for them in a b&m. Also, they run big, so I would size down by a half.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that the Avignon silk peep toes are already sold out online? :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon @ 8:40. I called Danbury but no luck. Totally used to cruise that mall growing up BTW. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking for two items from crewcuts, please: Has anyone seen the girls double serge wool winter coat in size large either color? I'm also looking for the toggle or peacoat in navy in size xl? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marietta and anon...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to call tomorrow, since my 2 year old took FOREVER to put to bed!
If anyone is around the Central Virginia area you can find the JCREW clearance store in Lynchburg that has a very large amount of clothes for CHEAP! It's usually a hit or miss, but definately worth a try!
ReplyDeleteForgot to clarify re. crewcut items: I need two coats, one for a boy and one for a girl. Thus, I'm searchign for the boy's wool toggle coat or the peacoat. The third coat style I'm looking for is the girl's double serge. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSlightly O/T, but still shopping related :)
ReplyDeleteI just received the Ann Taylor Gelsi ballet flats in today's mail. They are FABULOUS and will be perfect for spring. They retail for $109, but if you use the following code: 98200125, you will get 20% off.
They are a slightly metallic linen ballet flat with the cluster flower similar to JC's flower capri sandals from last summer. They also have the most beautiful beads in the center of the flower. These shoes would easily be $250 or more at JC. For $87 they are a great buy. The run slightly big to TTS. I ordered my regular size and have a bit of room in the toe, but because of the elastic back, they don't slip off.
