J.Crew's Holiday Sale {still no final!} is Here

J.Crew updated the image in their sale section online (click here). What's still not on the image– the words "final sale" anywhere. Close call on that one. {wahoo!}

As for a sale update, I must be missing it constantly. ;) The current sale section is very limited. However, I heard from a CSR at J.Crew that stores are in the process of sending back their sale items. Even though the store's sale section will become smaller, the online sale section in the next week or two will start to see more and more items.

Are you planning to check out J.Crew's Holiday Sale section? Are there any items you are hoping to see on sale? Will you get any sale items, or hold out for the new arrivals? :)

    OT, if any of you happen to see the gold and crystal cluster necklace in your travels to j.crew stores, could you please let me know. i'm desperately looking for atleast one, hopefully three! thank you.

    as for the holiday sale graphic - it's classic jcrew M.O. these days isn't it? dress it up, change the name and think no one will notice all that's lacking. haha, very sneaky jcrew marketing mavens - you're not fooling us!

    Disappointed that the sale updates have been so meager lately, though seems like I have placed a (small) order of basic items every day w/the facebook codes!

    Mickey must be thrilled that the strategy is working ... inventory down to 200 items (has it ever been so low?), and moving out all the tired, frayed, paper thin embellished tee inventory. So moving into holiday shopping ... it will all be at FP? Brilliant, it worked.

    Ruffles: I wonder what the strategy is behind the fs codes?, I also wonder using the fb/fs codes disqualifies us from receiving the price adjustments if the items go on sale?.

    Casual-Crew: I wonder if the facebook codes were intended to do exactly what they did ... encourage a lot of $20, $30, $50 purchases of old inventory - a tee, a belt - that wasn't moving!

    Embarassed to say ... it worked a few times on me :)

    I'm finding nothing really that enticing. It seems that I get basically the same deal with my teacher's discount as the sale being currently offered.

    Hopefully J.Crew will jump off their wallet and offer some deals soon.

    I've been holding out for the sale section to really be updated! After all the weak updates, I can't imagine their true sale inventory isn't more in the 1K item range! But who knows if they're new "strategy" will really allow all those items on the sale page (what about the sale items that used to be available in nearly every size that were pulled in just one day?)!

    I put some items in my cart from the sale section and I got the dreaded "FINAL SALE" red letters under them. WTH?

    sale section has been very meager of late, not tempting. I liked last year's fall/holiday a ton better than this year, not sure why.

    Funny, just a few weeks ago we were in "endless summer" sale, then about 2 weeks of "fall sale" and now launched straight into "holiday" sale. Not sure what is holiday about what's on sale.....

    Like everyone else, I have everything I want from the sale section right now, just waiting to see the new stuff in-store. Nothing is *that* thrilling yet.

    Alexis, I just wanted to say againn how much I love your choice of that at holiday picture. Makes me happy every time I visit JCA :)

    mommydearest: I am with you- the image is so great. Everyone is having a good time. (Unlike the recent catalogs, where it's hard to see someone smiling.) I also love that the image showcases different people (e.g. various generations) coming together. That is how I like my J.Crew! :)
