Spotted: J.Crew At T.J. Maxx {part 2}

As mentioned in a previous post (click here) from last week, J.Crew items have been spotted at various T.J. Maxx's around the country. The items ranged from shoes to special occasion dresses, with prices ranging from $14.99-19.99 each!

A quick Google search this afternoon showed that the {good} news traveled quite a bit... really amazing! ;)

Even though members are still posting comments on the original post, I thought it might be a bit more difficult to keep track of them since it's no longer on the main index page of the blog. Therefore, this post is essentially a "Part 2" to the original post- where we can continue the discussion.

So... if your local T.J. Maxx is carrying some deep discounted J.Crew items from the current season, perhaps you would be willing to share with us in this post? :)

P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting whether or not your local T.J. Maxx stores have J.Crew items, which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!

    I would love some Juliets or Lulus in a 7.5 (dream big, I know ;) )

  4. Just a quick shout out to say 'thanks' to all the charming and fashionable JCAs with whom I've had smooth, easy transactions during TJMaxx-palooza: Beth, Jordan, Lyndsay, Tina, Chloe, and Shirley. You all rock!

  5. My sister in Allston, MA found some shoes in the TJMaxx there--though she is a larger size.

    Hearing about all the TJMaxx bonanza, I went to Jeremy's in the Bay Area here to look for JCrew shoes, and I saw a lot! I posted about what I found on my blog. Of course, there was a difference--the shoes were about $50 instead of about $20, but a pretty good selection. If anyone is wanting me to go back and look for something specific and could pay cost + shipping, I am always willing to help an Aficionada...just post a comment in my blog.

    Thanks Alexis for updating this post!

  6. Does anyone know if the Ingrid patterned-fabric peep toes are TTS? I usually wear a 5.5, but the smallest available is a 6. Any chance these run small?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm looking for lulu peep toes in metallic and also in any of the other colors as well in size 6. I have 2 lulu pairs to trade in sizes 9 and 9.5. Thanks!

  11. STILL nothing in Appleton (went today)....or GB. I now have recruited my DH to call the GB store every day since he works in that city.
    I'm going again Thursday or Friday....and if still nothing, over the weekend as well.

    I'm obsessed.
    My hubby is amused by my behavior.

  12. can anyone tell me the name of the black, jeweled sandals in the picture alexis posted?

  13. I checked the TJ Maxx closet to me a couple of days ago but didn't find anything.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I called a local TJMaxx (PA)yesterday and she said that they have not recieved their JCrew shipment yet. The know its coming because they got a circular for the stuff to expect. She said a truck just came yesterday and will be unpacked today or thurs. Needless to say I will be there both days!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Some Chicagoland TJMaxx's have shoes, some don't. DOes anyone know if this is basically a one-time thing or if there will be addl shipments? Do you all think that Crew is going to permanently dump stock this way?

    I got a pair of suede fleurs BUT ... if it makes the JCAs who havent scored at TJ's feel any better, my experience has been that all the shoes are very small or very large sizes, with slashes and marks all over them in black Sharpie! Kind of ruins the pretty gold footbeds you know? Also the few clothing items I saw seemed to have a derect like snags or stains ...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sorry it's early ... meant "DEFECT."

  17. Hi I checked TJ Maxx on State Street Chicago again yesterday & nothing there...I'll keep checking

    Thanks to everyone that's been looking for all of us :)

  21. Reporting from MI, here:

    Checked Novi TJM (near 12 Oaks) last week - nothing

    Checked Farmington TJM (Grand River) last week and yesterday - nothing

    Checked Livonia TJM (5 Mile and Merriman) last week and yesterday - nothing

    Checked Ann Arbor TJM (Westgate) Monday of this week - minimal shoes, mostly sandals, no clothes or jewelry that I could find

    I'll keep checking back (esp to the Farmington and Livonia stores, as they're the ones I can get to on my lunch break!... best of luck to everyone else!

    Additionally:

    I do have a pair of the brown Serengeti capri flip-flops that I found at the Ann Arbor store on Monday, but I'm not going to keep them. They're a size 7 - if you are interested in them ($25 shipped), just shoot me an email:

  22. I'm also looking for neutral Juliet in 8.5.
    (Do they run true to size? I'm usually an 8 but I've heard they run small)

  23. well I'm up to 4 stores in my CT area... and nothing :( Bristol, Southington, Avon, West Hartford. I'll keep checking throughout the week. Can't hurt, right?

    ReplyDelete
  24. You can usually remove the permanent marker with a product called Goo Gone. It takes a little effort but if you want it removed from the footbed, give it a try. Handy stuff to have around to remove stickers and the like as well. Another product, Goof Off also works, but it is really hard and can strip the finish off your item so I would avoid it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ^ I meant to say, it is really HARSH, not hard. (*_*)

  26. Christina, I'm also from Michigan and checked the Southgate TJ Maxx and the one in Allen Park...nothing:-(

  27. JCrew lover- The TJMaxx I called was the one in Pottstown. I'll let you know what they have...any sizes you are looking for?

  28. Hi all,

    Still looking for metallic lulu peep toes in platinum, size 9! If anyone sees a pair and could pick up for me I'd be forever indebted!!! :) Thanks

  29. RadioRaven11: I live in southern WI, but head up to Appleton/GB every few weeks. Any chance you could keep me posted on Jcrew sitings in both those cities?? I'm headed to the Madison TJM on Saturday and would be happy to let you know what I find.

    My email is farr0146 at gmail

    Thanks!!

  30. musthavejcrew:

    Darn it! The Allen Park store was my last hope for finding J Crew stuff... oh well. I will definitely keep checking back to the stores near me (Farmington and Livonia - I can get to both on one lunch break) and I'll certainly post here if I find anything. Thanks for the update on the stores in your area!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Gwen and JCrew Lover: I'm also in Philadelphia. I stopped at the KOP store yesterday (the one on Swedesboro road off 202 near Devon). They didn't have anything. The one on City Line avenue did not have anything either. I also checked the Marshall's on 202/DeKalb pike above KOP (just cause I was passing by)...no luck! I am going to be in the Oaks area today so I'm going to check the two TJ's in Norristown. I'll report back....

    ReplyDelete
  32. I've looked at our stores here, not a single J Crew thing.

    I know this is a long shot because everyone is looking for them and I have an average foot.

    I'd love Juliets (any color, inlcluding safari), Lulu's in grey, or any of the patterned heels.

    I'm a 7.5.

    Will pay expenses and shipping!

  33. Jordan-
    Don't bother checking the TJMaxx in Norristown on dekalb pike/germantown. I was there yesterday and they had nothing. :(
    I'll let you know about pottstown, only 10 mins from me.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks Gwen....I'm going to be in Willow Grove tomorrow so I will check up that way. Let me know if Pottstown has anything....Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  35. It's fun to keep reading these posts. I've been to my local TJ Maxx several times and have so far not found anything more than the original two pairs I bought last week (city suede flats and cristobal flat sandals-hey I'm not complaining!) but I do plan to keep checking :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I am looking for metallic peep toe lulu's, size 8.5. If you see them please purchase and I will gladly pay cost + shipping + expenses. Thank you :)

  40. GWen and Jordan-I am a size 9. I am not looking for anything in particular-maybe a pair of Mila sandals in gold-and I could do an 8.5 in these if you see them! There is also a TJ in Kennett Square as well as WIlmington, I can check this weekend. What you are guys looking for? I will be calling the other 2 tjm's near me to see if they will be getting in shipments and will report back!

  41. Jordan,

    KOP had stuff last weekend. Maybe they just ran out. I plan on going back this weekend.

    City Ave had nothing last week.

  42. Christina and musthavejcrew -- I'm also in MI. I checked the Auburn Hills store yesterday and nothing. I think I'll try calling before visiting the one in Rochester Hills.

    Thanks for letting us know what you (haven't) found! :) and :(

  43. I will be checking Fairfield CT this morning after my spin class... would love updates on Shelton is anyone is going!

    I seem to keep buying shoes every time I go, regardless of whether they have any J Crew. Hmmmm...

    ReplyDelete
  44. Anyone have any luck in any NJ stores???

    ReplyDelete
  45. JCrew Lover: I will keep an eye out for these and pick up whatever they have in a 9 for you. I wear a 9.5 or 10...I don't care either but would prefer heels or sandals to flats. Hopefully if we all work as a team, we Philly girls, can find some JCrew somewhere!! Thanks ladies!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Heather: The one on Swedesboro Road? They had a great selection of other stuff...I bought some Tahari platform peep toe heels for work but no JCrew. Thanks for the tip though, it may be worth checking back on Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Any reports from the NYC 6th avenue TJ Maxx? I know someone reported a while back that they didn't have any J. Crew, but has anyone been there recently? Thanks! :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I live in Chandler, Az. No luck out here but would love a pair of Lucie High Heels in plat gold size 9. Or the Lulus in metallic sz 9. I love this site. It is so great to find other JC addicts.
    Thanks:)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Jordan,

    yep the one near trader joe's. they had a decent selection but it was all over the store (maybe someone had been 'hiding' pieces? lol!). I snagged Lucie D'orsay heels, metallic lucaya espadrilles, and a yoga jacket. I almost bought a few more things but decided to limit myself and leave some goodies for other JCAs. :)

    City Ave had some cute Michael Kors dresses.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier...I"m going to check the TJ Maxx in St. David's near Villanova on the Main Line...they have a runway dept etc...it would make sense that they would get some. I'll check on my way home today. (I've bought Marc Jacobs there before!)

    ReplyDelete
  51. New coupon; SHHH 20% off any 175+ purchase, also prices are lowered on many items.

  54. Does anyone know if any TJ Maxx's in and/or around Cincinnati have any J Crew items!?!
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  55. All TJs near me have nothing - does anyone know if any of the Midwest TJs are supposed to get shipments? It only seems to be the coastal TJs that are getting J.Crew.
    Anyway, I am dying for any heels (Lulus! Juliets!) in an 11. i would gladly reimburse+expenses for any wonderful JCA that would be willing to pick osme up for me. My email is Maggielarkin@hotmail.com TIA!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Jordan; thanks! I don't need any Lulu's...I have them in tulip. Looking for more summery/sandal things unless you see flats in pink. OK, so maybe I should rephrase that I'm not looking for anything in particular:)And I'll do the same for you... and BTW, Ireally feel like a philly girl when I say YOU GUYS!!

  59. Philly area JCAs-

    Definitely keep me posted. I was going to swing by the KOP TJMaxx this weekend but maybe now will skip it. Has anyone been to the TJMaxx in Willow Grove or in St. David's? Maybe I'll head there this w/e. . .
    If anyone goes, I'd love size 5.5 shoes!!!

  60. I tried a TJ Maxx in Tucson for the second time yesterday (first visit being last week). Still nothing here in the Old Pueblo.

  63. I haven't heard of anything showing up at the Chevy Chase store in DC, so if anyone sees Lulus or Juliets or ANYTHING else in a size 8.5, I would be happy to reimburse you! My email is lolalovesfrank@gmail.com

  64. Maryland/VA;
    Went to Ann Arundel last night- n-o-t-h-i-n-g there.
    My friend went to Tyson's TJ last night too- nothing there either ( no clothes or shoes).

    FActory store; Ann Arundel had Italy catalogue replicated in outlet version- tons of paisley , Trastever prints in shorts, carpis, tunic, shirts, dresses etc. Prices were astronomical- Trastevere outlet version $109. Few Elizabeth halters in both cotton adn silk- again outlet versions- offered at 39.99. Did not buy anything. Sale section abysmal.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I kind of feel like unless a JCA specifically requests looking out for certain items, that we should not snatch up everything in the store. Not trying to stir anything up and the ebay people are another story b/c they're going to keep doing what they've been doing all along... I just feel like it's better if we let others share in finding pieces, instead of being disappointed when they go b/c one or two people have bought everything at their store. Right now it's flying out the store b/c it's new (to tj maxx, at least), but I'm sure once the frenzy dies down, there will be more inventory.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Gwen, Jordan, JCrewadorer

    I'm in Philly too and thinking of checking out some TJ Maxx's this week.

    If you guys see any shoes in 8's and 8.5's please let me know. I'm looking for Juliets,Spectators, Fleurs, etc.

    I may going to Pittsburgh this weekend, so I'll check around there as well. I'll look for 9's, 9.5's and 10's. Let me know if you live in Philly area and want me to look for your size!

    ReplyDelete
  67. also, I don't know why those links I posted regarding love it or leave it are not working... they are the correct urls. silly jcrew! :/

  68. J Crew has just replenished their final sale this morning within the last 30 minutes...lots of jewelry and new spring stuff including the snow leopard cardigan! Get it now before the site bogs down!

  69. I would still love to get a pair of Penelope Peep Toe Mary Janes in a 7 from TJMaxx. Canyon is my fave, but pretty much any color except orange or something too crazy! TIA

    ReplyDelete
  70. Heather, I agree with you. I hope my post didn't come off as I was going to buy out the store in 9's -10's.

    I'm just going to keep in mind what the girls in Phillys have listed that they want.=)

    crossing my fingers we all get lucky!

  74. Lulu,

    it's ok, I think you were being nice. :)

    I did see some 8-81/2 sandals at KOP... the majority of the shoes were smaller or bigger than that (lots of 6-6 1/2 and 9-10s). I should know-- I wear an 8 or 7 1/2, so I was on the lookout! :) hopefully they get more stock in this week.

    LizPoms- thanks for the tip about Jeremy's! I will have to make a trip there soon.

  77. I'm going to check out a TJ Maxx in NJ and will report back~!

    OT: This morning I finally ordered the CF boucle in black in my size. There was some kind of error when I checked out so I had to call CS. The woman was slow and unhelpful and by the time she told me to try my order again, it was gone :(

  78. Nothing in the Wilmington DE area. Boo.

  79. Bailey's Crossroads (Northern VA) TJ Maxx...nada. Again. I need to stop going. This one is horrible in how dirty it is...but it is my closest and with two kids under 2...I am limited on where I can visit.

    Slastena: Any idea on when the shh coupon expires? I get paid friday and would like to pick up one or two items, and the 20% is certainly more attractive than my normal 15% teacher.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  80. All the Philly girls...let's just be on the lookout for each other and if we see something, let each other know.
    this is a great resource!
    And BTW, keep in mind that the other JC Blog's owner is also from KOP and she may have advised her bloggers of this info as well.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Anon at 8:54 -- yes, yesterday I posted that I found JC at a Midwest store. However, I'm puzzled by the absolute fascination w/ shoes -- I always find them to be cheap and uncomfy. I bought clothes and didn't even focus on shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I will certainly not buy all the jcrew shoes in stock. Not only is that wrong but I don't have enough money in my account for that! Most importantly, anything I buy will end up here and not on eBay.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Hi Heather,

    Thanks for the headsup. It's great to know there's a group of Philly JCA's that are so helpful! =)

  84. Gwen, Jordan, Jcrewlover (sry I think I got you mixed up with Jcrewadorer)

    I will def look for what you guys have listed you want when I go to TJ Maxx's this week, and report back.

  86. the other jcrew blog... jcrewaholics, the one by leigh? I never go to that one (I just looked it up, that's how I even know that's who maintains it). I vaguely remember there being some controversy surround its creation, and never felt the need to go to another jcrew blog-- spend too much time on this one already ;)!

    I have checked out only 2 store in the Pittsburgh area (Bridgeville and McMurray); Bridgeville did have a few sandals and some pumps, no clothes; McMurray store had nothing. I am going to Robinson today. Let me know if you plan to check out any other stores in the PGH area

  91. Slastena, you beat me to the punch with this code. Ironically I found it on a freebie board.

  92. The new code SHHH is good through 2/14.

    I am going to wait though. Lots of new mark downs and some items are really new. I know to hold out though b/c they will keep going down. I have enough to wear right now! Lots of items I bought I could have had for a lot less if I had been patient!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Lulu, Gwen, Jordan, Jcrewlover ... I am also in the Philly area. I have not seen any J.Crew yet, but I am trying another store so I will keep my eye out for 9, 10, 11. If you could keep an eye out for metallic lulu peeptoes in an 8.5 for me, I'd appreciate it :)

  95. I'm anonymous at 9:41. I LOLing at not being in NoVA anymore. Too much competition :) As I said, I'm not impressed w/ the shoes, so if I see any in my little world, I'll be happy to let all you JCAs know what I see or come up w/ (no ebaying for me).

    ReplyDelete
  96. I love J.Crew items as much as the next person (on this board!) but I can't help but feel that some of the items that J.Crew sells (and that are ending up at TJ Maxx) wouldn't appeal to people on this board if they didn't have the J.Crew labels on them. I admit I am also guilty of being attracted to items because of the J.Crew label, so lately I've tried to ask myself if I'd really be interested if it had a different off-brand label. If I'm being absolutely honest with myself, a lot of the time the answer is no.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Marshalls is NOT carrying J Crew items. At least not in the New York City area.

    Does anyone know about the NYC TJ Maxx?

    ReplyDelete
  98. So, I'm curious: for those that have found JC shoes (and other items) at TJM, have you seen new shipments arrive? I have seen new stock added due to unpacking boxes, it seems, but didn't know if anyone has seen a "fresh round" yet.

    Thanks for the headsup about Pittsburgh. I will let you know what I find this weekend.

    In Raleigh - they put out Jcrew stuff on Falls but it was completely decimated by the time I got to it. Couple of sad looking yoga jackets remained.

    I've called nyc tjmaxx's and they've told me they don't currently have any. I asked the shoe dept if they were expecting a shipment and she said she didn't know.

    If you're able to go to the store, let me know if you see anything!

    You are too sweet! I had contemplated going over lunch, but not sure that's going to work today.
    If you see platinum metallic lulu's in 9 (or maybe 8.5), heels or flats, would you let me know or put them on hold for me? Thanks for the update!

  108. Anon at 10:06..I agree with you! It's actually called brand apsiration. It's the idea that something that has a label on it is more attractive simply because of the label. We buy things because we aspire to have the lifetsyle or look or cache that a certain label imbues/has.

    I find that I fall into this trap more often that I would like to admit. This is especially true for me and Anhtro; things I would ignore that look just like (and quality is the same) Anthro pieces at other stores I go crazy for at Anthro.

  109. I went to TJ Maxx in Brentwood, TN (outside of Nashville) over the weekend and saw one lone pair of heels (Juliet). Sadly, they were one size too small, too. I did not see any clothes or jewelry. I'm going to try another TJ Maxx in Nashville today. I don't have high hopes, though, since the Brentwood location is the nicer of the two.

  110. Darn it for the 20% code. I used the LOVE code and got free shipping but managed to call to get my 15% teacher's discount. So it still works out better. Phew.

  111. Shopgirly (anon @ 10:33)

    I went last night after work. A SA told me that they were expecting a shipment in on Monday but they only got a couple of dresses that didn't look so good. I checked back yesterday and there was a fixture pulled together but very little on it. Just a couple of dresses and the yoga jackets remained.

    Timing is everything. I will keep a look out and put on hold if I find any items @ Durham or p/u if I see the Juliets. Will post here to let you know if it was worth the drive.

  113. I'm the anon who bought the chiffon pleated cardis, lulus and golden roses skirts from TJmaxx. I understand that we all want good deals, but some people were downright rude and offensive when the item was not available because it was promised to someone else. As you know, I had a limited number of items. To cut the story short, I have returned all the items to TJmaxx and no way would I do this again. I thought I was helping JCAs out. I certainly wasn't trying to make a profit, start a bidding war or reserve items for a particular JCA.

  114. Not to annoy anyone for posting in the wrong place but I cleaned out my closest this past weekand and have added more items to my polyvore set.

  117. The TJs on Fullerton in Chicago seemed to have a lot of size 6-7H shoes this past weekend. I was able to snag a pair of Juliet Mid Heels in black, a safari heel and a yellow ballet flat all in an 8H. There were some dresses. No shoes at the store on State Street, but I was able to find a Super 120s sleeveless dress in black, size 10 for $20.

  118. Anon 10:06AM--I am fascinated that you have even come up with this thought process. Tell me you are just young and naive?? I mean--do you really buy things because of their label and not because you actually LIKE them?? Odd.

    The local store gets shipments M and F so I'll be calling again later this week!

    Thanks to all the JCA that have been so great to deal with and nice enough to scoop up shoes for those of us with no TJ Maxx carrying JCREW. I had great transactinos with Dorrie and Lyndsay!

ALso try the area around Market and 2ndish...lots of boutiques and yummy places to eat. Also lots of galleries too. There's also the Galllery near Chiantown, but that's basically a mall. And close to that is a very large Macy's that used to be the original Wanamaker's department Store. have fun!! PS it's supposed to be in the thirties again this weekend

    here I am stuck in the office when it's going to be in the high 60s, and saturday when I want to go out it will be freezing. I wanted to wear my lucie d'orsays on v-day! oh well... :/

    at least I can enjoy today's warmth when I go for a walk on my coffeebreak. :)

  129. OT - but I received the cluster ring yesterday in the black, and I love it! I am wearing it today with the camel stripe Victoria, persimmon double serge and tall brown Via Spiga boots. I love it so much that I just ordered the orange, along with the chiffon pleated cardi in putty, a few perfect fit tees, a yoga headband, and the melange sparkle gloves. I used the SHHH promotion.

    Yesterday I also received the pearl cluster necklace from Target, it is adorable! Thank you again to all the wonderful JCAs who shared this incredible find with everybody. :-)

  134. Hi all,

    It is slightly OT.... but has anyone else seen the Vogue spread featuring our lovely first lady, Michelle Obamba?

    The front page features an amazing dress annnnd if you look at some of the other images like the one shown on the tlegraph site:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/michelle-obama/4590523/Michelle-Obama-in-Vogue-First-Lady-of-American-fashion.html

    it sure looks like Mrs Pres is rocking another amazing JCrew ensemble. It certainly looks like one of the dusty rose sweaters from this season.

    Any thoughts?

  143. HJC: I've had some luck (mostly dresses) in San Diego, but not nearly as much as some other gals have found. I think there have also been some JC sightings at TJMs in Orange County (though, also sounds slim). So, hopefully you will get some goodies in NorCal soon!

  150. I would be forever grateful if anyone finds Penelope flats or peep toes in a 10 (just not the orange and green ones). Especially flats! I'll pay $40 shipped, or maybe a little more. My mom would be so happy if I found them for her :) emilyeeg at gmail.com

    I agree that most JC clothes I've found at TJs have something wrong with them.. but on a few items (I saw a harlow blouse and a flamenco dot popover like this) they just had tiny stains on them that aren't bad at all and would be worth $9.99... but yeah, just make sure you carefully inspect anything you buy. Of course you can always return it later which is wonderful.

  153. bkp - i have been checking around! someone mentioned there wasn't anything at the tysons one (which I assumed was the one with a vienna mailing address on the tjmaxx website), but they had a few pairs of shoes and lots of clothes/dresses, mostly M/8/10/12s. HTH!

  160. I reluctantly say thank you Slastena. That's a great code, but I can't afford to spend anymore $$ right now. I have a lot of winter clothes in my closet with tags on them and it's still blistery cold. I am ready for spring, but my closet isn't. :)

    I did notice the Lattice cami (that I desperately wanted) is already on final sale. All colors and sizes available. Sigh.

  163. In case anyone missed my update on the other TJM post, when I went back I didn't find too many of the requested shoes and emailed those who I did find things for. No more Lulus or Juliets, sorry! For the other lucky ladies, your shoes will go out in the mail today! :)

    If anyone comes across any size 7 to 8 Spectator Mary Janes (peep toe or not) in the orangey/brown/"marigold" color, or Trixies in any pattern, I'd love you to snag them for me and I'd pay you for your trouble. Thanks!

  168. I went back to the Boston store (Downtown Crossing) at lunch and they definitely didn't get another shipment since last week. All in all they had about three pairs of shoes all size 7 or 7 1/2 and the rack of clothing from last week was gone.

  171. For JCA's in NJ:
    Nothing in the Edison store yesterday. Today I went to the one in Paramus at the Fashion Center on route 17, nothing there either. I asked a woman who works there about them, and she said only certain stores are receiving J.Crew items and theirs is not on the list. She also said that if they were going to receive them, they would have by now. Hope this helps!

  173. Hi Francesca,

    Thanks so much for the link!

    Most of the articles I could find just listed Annie Leibovitz as the photographer etc. I much prefer reading the article itself. I think they struck a great note emphasizing Michelle's role as First Lady, First Mom & as herself, a strong, brilliant woman. It really underscored her appeal to so many American women.

    I esp like the quote; "I love clothes," she (Michelle) admits. "First and foremost, I wear what I love. That's what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion." Don't we all?

    Looking forward to seeing our Stylish First Lady wow the world,

    Heather:D

  176. About being attracted to JCrew because it has a JCrew label ...

    Yes, guilty but for a good reason. JCrew is a label I trust for great style and good quality. I am not innately a fashion diva, so I depend on JCrew fashion-wise.

    And I can say it works great! Keeps my job simpler -- managing prices, fit and quality, in that order.

  177. After visiting TJ Maxx in Fairield and Shelton this morning/afternoon, I have two pairs that I'm looking to trade or sell:

    Juliets, size 8, orange

    Perfect Patent Pumps, size 9, dusty rose

    Turns out I'm really a size 8 1/2 in J Crew shoes and try as I might, I cannot will myself to fit in either pair. Bummer.

    Willing to trade for size 8 1/2s.

    Would also trade either pair for a short Sophia, size 6 (assuming you also found it on the cheap).

    Will also sell for $30, including shipping.

    FYI: Shelton, CT has several size 10 shoes and a few dresses, size 10 also.

    tfmueller@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  178. forgot to add- the orange Juliets have a slight darkish stain on the right shoe the size of a dime. I would not care, if they were in my size I would keep 'em. If you are particular though, please keep this in mind. It looks like someone smudged the black marker a little, it's very faded.

    ReplyDelete
  179. I got the Mackenzie midheels at TJ maxx (score!) to go with my spiced mustard polka dot rosette dress from last summer (thanks to FFM's idea that a soft gold shoe would go with this dress!) and I think they are pretty comfortable, and cute!

    But, I have noticed with this style and with other styles of JC's strappy sandals, they seem to run a little small. I wear a 10 so half sizes aren't an option but if you are in the market for this shoe and you're unsure of size I'd say you could go a half size up without a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  180. I don't think we can combine our student discount with this code since it's already a "global" promotion for the entire order not just the extra % off sale merchandise. :(

  182. What is the name of the sandals at the end of the 2nd row in the picture with this post (tri-color + strappy)? I saw a pair in TJM but with an ankle strap, in navy/white/pink/red... I thought they were kinda ugly (mostly because of the pink), but my boyfriend liked them and was pushing me to get them... I did not. But now I'm going crazy trying to remember their name. :P

    ReplyDelete
  183. Ladies, I went to one of the Alexandria, VA TJ Maxxes last night. I actually didn't go specifically to look for J.Crew stuff; I went to get some socks and such for my husband. I briefly ran through the shoe department. They only really had 3 lonely pairs left and a few random polos/tees (I didn't go through the clothes too thoroughly). The shoe department manager said that they had gotten boxes of J.Crew shoes in over the past 2 weeks, so someone must have cleaned them out.

    Here's what I picked up:

    Lucie High Heels in Gold, size 9

    Lucaya Metallic Espadrilles in metallic linen with bronze trim, size 9

    Amelia

    Patterned Polka Dot Espadrilles
    in Ivory with Navy Polka Dots, size 11

    The Lucie heels are $33 shipped and the Espadrilles are $27 shipped. Will combine shipping if you want more than one pair so the prices may be slightly lower.

    Also, I am looking for Lulu heels in any color in size 5.

    Please continue to pick up what you can at TJ Maxx (if you are able) and post them here because it's the only way we can all get the sizes we need! I'm extremely bummed because I bid on a pair of Lulus -- the only size 5 pair I think I've ever come across -- and I was going to win them, but then someone e-swiped them literally in the last minute. I am more than willing to pay someone extra for buying them at TJ Maxx + gas money + time + shipping. Thank you!!
