Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the HOLIDAY sale, or to see some new SPRING arrivals {sigh!} in person, maybe you might be willing to share that with us in this post. In particular, if you could share with us a few of the noteworthy items that are available, at what prices, and potential sizes the store is carrying (as well as the store location)- that would be fantastic!

Also, please let us know if your local store is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!

  2. Some definite popbacks. I just got a cody cashmere for $42 and an infinity in weathered wood for $24. Trouser cords for cheap. We will see if they ship.

  4. Katarzyna - I was at my b&m yesterday and it was 50% off sale. Almost picked up a velvet boy blazer for $25 after discount.

  5. Madewell is 30% off and free ship on $100 using LOVEIT.

    At least they're not taunting us w/something like "MUSTSHOP" like JCrew is doing.

  7. Was at the B & M yesterday. New roll-out there... Lots of tees (that were cute - just have to step away from the tees), 3 inch shorts (very cute vibrant colors!!), a few great color belts. Some really nice casual cardigans, jackets (space dyed). New Olive silk blouse is beautiful!

    Had a new boyfriend jacket out in a beige cotton/linen.... unfortunately, the fit is TERRIBLE! Looks like Crew made jackets with skinny arms now also.. my normal size jacket was tight in the arms (mine aren't that big), when I sized up... jacket was too boxy! PS said that she also noticed that Jenna is making jackets for her skinny arms!

    If you are shopping... it might be worth a trip :)

  9. My b&m is having 50% off women's sale and 40% off men's. There isn't much left although I did see a double serge wool pencil skirt in bright azalia for $79.99, size 6.

    I placed an order on the 15th and CS just told me that due to the large volume of orders last week, there are some delays. The status of my order says "released" in my account, but CS is showing that it shipped (but no tracking # yet). Hope this helps if anyone else is waiting for their items to come in!

  10. JCrew's site is reading extra 40% off sale & free ship with purchase of $100 with MUSTSHOP.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Factory is also extra 40% off with the same code

    ReplyDelete
  12. What in the world...is the Drapey Stripe hoodie already sold out?!? When did this happen? Are y'all still seeing this in stores? I was hoping to be able to wait till this hit sale :(

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yeah, extra 40% off MUSTSHOP, $100 free shipping.

    It was so weird, I actually dreamed about it but with $56 free shipping and I saw my computer kept shutting the window. Eventually I realize it was only a dream. Then I woke up and really turn on my computer in real live and thought no way, there was 40% off for real! ...just not $56 min. There much be too much JCrew thoughts in my mind!

    I haven't bought much though, only a wool pencil shirt and a pair of wool pants, not even sure of the size... I hope my $100 won't go to waste >.<

  14. AppGal, it's been in & out of sizes for weeks now. I was surprised too. Someone reviewed it on their blog & the hoodie they tried on at the b&m had a crooked kangaroo pocket. I'm sure there's alot available in the stores.

    ReplyDelete
  15. IRL: Thanks! I seem to remember the slightly "off" pocket when I tried it on too. Another reason I felt it wasn't worth FP!

    Has anyone tried the new High-waisted skinny jean yet? I'm curious to hear what others think of it!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Anyone been by the Danbury, CT store recently? I was thinking about stopping in but last time I was there their inventory was decimated! Empty shelves, hardly anything on the sale rack .... wondering if its worth popping by again....

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm waiting for my rewards card. Now b/c someone mentioned the drapey stripe hoodie is sold out online, I'm thinking I need to run into my b&m and grab it while I can.

  19. Won't be going this weekend, as I was just at my B&M on Wednesday for a spring collection 20% off event my PS hosted. I picked up a lot of great items, including the Sailor sweater in black linen (love it), a new Jackie, a few knit tees and tanks, and a pair of the adorable rainy day flats that always disappear so quickly. Very happy with my purchases!

  20. Went to the Rockefeller store and I got an amazing deal on the Heidi dress in black. It was $49.99 before 50% off discount (but got it for even cheaper because my ps gave me an extra % off on the totality of my purchase). There was another one but I didn't look at the size.
    They had quite a few coats, mostly the Elements in in the fatigue color and boulevard in the beige-ish color. And 2 Milo peacoats in navy (one was a size 2). Also spotted 4 POW (3 in a size 10 and another one in maybe a 8 or a 12). New collection was out and for those interested in the striped tee that I posted yesterday on my blog, it also comes in neon pink and black (I think). HTH!

  21. AppGal - I tried and bought the high waist skinny jeans. I love them so much. I am long waisted and it hits still 1-2 inches below my belly button. So if you have a short waist, it could look really high waisted. I can't wear toothpicks, matchsticks, minnies or any J. Crew pants, but these fit me perfectly. They are TTS. They're stretchy and super comfortable. The legs fit like toothpicks. If you have a long torso - I would highly recommend.

  22. Nope, not going to the mall. I have to gather a bunch of stuff to return to make it worth a trip since JC is so far away.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm going in tomorrow for returns and to check out new arrivals.

  24. At Mill Valley, CA store today and tons of new spring stuff. Didn't buy anything but there were some cute things. Not much left in sale section (they must have shipped things out) but was 50% off. Anyone know when the new rollout is supposed to be online? I was expecting it this week.

  25. courtney_joy: My online PS says the website will update with new arrivals next Thursday the 27th.

  26. Ema: I thought the rockefeller center store was closed?

    I had a terried experience at the Towson, MD store. The manager refused to price match my pixie pants and the lied to me that they were full price. I had to beg her to call customer service.

  27. I dropped in today. There are new arrivals, among them a navy tiered dress that looks like this year's version of the Carly. Definitely runs bigger, though, the 4 in the Carly is perfect for me but I was swimming in a 4 in this one. At $150, I can wait for a sale. I did get the new plaid shirt in a the blue/pink.

  28. I dropped by the San Diego store today to make a few returns. I didn't look at any spring items but I did notice lots of really nice colors.

    I quickly glanced through the sale section (50% off for women/ 40% off for men).

    If anyone is interested, they had several sizes in the Marled Thandie (at least 1 8 not sure of the others), a size 10 Buffalo Check Jacket and size 10 Short Icon Trench in Taupe. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the prices on them.

  29. Has anyone seen the sailor stripe sweater (in gray and white and also black and white)? The xs in the b and w is backordered until March! I'm hoping to get my hands on it sooner. Thanks.

  30. kikki cee: I just bought the sailor stripe sweater in seaweed/ivory and it's just darling. Fits TTS. Perfectly slouchy. The buttons on the arms actually land right at my elbow, not lower on the arm like the model. I've seen both seaweed and black colorways at Costa Mesa, CA and Mission Viejo, CA. They're selling out fast, though.

  31. Katarzyna, Rockefeller Center is open. It is the Fifth Avenue store that is closed.

    I forgot to mention that they had received the striped knit blazer (cream-ish with blach stripes) that was featured in a magazine some time ago. It retails for $118 but I saw it when I was on my way out and didn't try it on. It looked cute and substantial.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I tried on the striped knit blazer Ema just mentioned, plus a lot of other items at my b&m today. You can see pics and reviews here.

    ReplyDelete
  33. any blogs around for pics of new arrivals? i am hoping to head in next week!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Laurneypotpie- I tweeted some pics of new arrival tops, blazers, a new pencil skirt, mini, and shoes - you can see the links on the sidebar of my blog here. I have an IRL modeling pic too coming and comments on the fit - some cute items!

  35. The King of Prussia, PA b&m is offering 50% off women's sale items and has lots of golden bubbles pencil skirts if anyone is still looking for one. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I dropped in at my J. Crew today. There were a few new items for spring. Not much though. Nothing at all of interest to me. Lots of chinos and tees for the most part. The sale section was almost nonexistent.

    I decided to return the new cafe capris in desert and black. The fit was off and I really, really hated the front pockets. I stopped in at Talbots and tried their twill crops and fell in love. A size 2 fit perfectly, the rise is higher which I like, the fabric is nice and the length is perfect for me. No front pockets. I ordered the mink (similar to desert) and black on the red phone.
