This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.
Some Banana Republic reviews here.
ReplyDeleteReviewed a few Madewell silk tops, Trolley Stripe Sweater and the Holepunch Sandals HERE.
ReplyDeleteI've talked about this brand before but Club Monaco finally launched their first online site!!! Here's the link: http://www.clubmonaco.com/home/index.jsp?ab=global_home
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't work, you might have to fan them on their facebook page to get the right link.
Club Monaco is just as high quality as J.Crew with around the same price tag. I definitely think ya'll will like this brands offerings. If you haven't heard of them before, check them out! <3
OK, Club Monaco started out as a Canadian company but got bought up by (if I recall correctly) Ralph Lauren. Talk about ironic, when I googled CM, the link took me to the Canadian site, which isn't e-commerce ready yet! So, thanks for the link to the international/US site so at least I can browse (eye roll).
DeleteI love Club Monaco. Have a few of their pieces. So happy that they are online. No more trekking to Soho.
DeleteSome J.Crew-like items in this post. :)
ReplyDeleteBloomingdale's Friends & Family Event is taking place this week. More details in this post.
ReplyDeleteI had a great time shopping Talbots. 25 percent off entire store through april first for charge card holders. The deal is online as well with free shipping for black card holders like myself.
ReplyDeleteSome Anthro reviews HERE
ReplyDeleteGarnet Hill reviews HERE
and EmersonFry (formerly EmersonMade) review HERE
I would recommend the black lace jacket highly! I am not a lace fan at all and this jacket is amazing....Also bought the floral shirt that can be long sleeve or rolled up with tabs and a v-neck floral cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI posted Emerson Fry Spring 2012 two button skirt and silk blouse review HERE.
ReplyDeleteI had an issue with Ann Taylor this past weekend. Read all about it here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I second Harpers Shadow on the love for Club Monaco. It's amazing. I have a store in my city that I frequent. As J.Crew quality declines, my closet sees more and more Club Monaco.
New favorite Talbots shirt: Crinkle Gauze Camp Shirt (#A44215). $69.50 but the 25% off sale is still going on. The shirt is lightweight, sheer but is tapered some and not a big over-sized fit. I will wear it a lot of over tanks, I think. They seemed to have changed sizing again and I am wearing a size larger at Talbots this Spring than I do in my regular J.Crew or Ann Taylor size.
ReplyDeleteTrying to decide about the TOVA sandals. Has anyone tried them? What colors do you like? Hoe is the color Chester Brown?
ReplyDeleteSome Madewell reviews on my blog:

(Sorry, my internet at home is down and my work computer blocks embedded links. Technology is the BEST.)
Nice to see Club Monaco finally get e-commerce. I can't believe they've been out of the game for so long.
ReplyDeleteOh, and btw, Club Monaco gives you a 20% discount with student ID in-store.
ReplyDeleteMadewell polka dot film noir pump review here. Love these shoes!
ReplyDeleteAnthropologie is offering free shipping on USA orders over $100 through Thursday, March 29. :)
ReplyDeleteI just bought two pairs of the cutest printed canvas shorts at the Gap -- one in a orange colorway and another in shades of Casablanca blue. Like that they're 3 1/2 to 4 inches inseam as JCrew's chino shorts are too short at 3" but too long at 5".
ReplyDeleteHere's one of them, but there are a couple more prints in store that don't appear online:

For you NorCal girls - anthropologie is going to be opening at broadway plaza in walnut creek in September! Not sure what that will do to the blackhawk store - hopefully they will co-exist since I love that store.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Good news. Thanks so much, Mack :)
DeleteSave 25% at Ralph Lauren during the 'Giving In Style' event. More details in this post on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteAs of today, you can now write reviews on Ann Taylor products online. Yay!
ReplyDeleteCome on, J. Crew, time to follow suit!
Old Navy has a $5, $10, $15 promo going on in-stores. Some irl pics in this post.
ReplyDeletePromo stacking at Ann Taylor on dresses & shoes. Details in this post. The combo expires tonite, Sat 3/31.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Nordstrom is offering "free shipping" (do they always?) and on my post last night I write about my J.Crew tortoise shell necklace (no longer available) but suggest some cute tortoise shell alteratives from Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and a shop on Etsy that sells hand-made faux tortoise shell jewelry, a lot of which is Art Deco and very J.Crew meets Lulu Frost!
