If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SUMMER sale, or to see some new SUMMER 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!
Quite possibly.
ReplyDeleteOT-Factory site says: "SHIRT ALERT: UP TO 50% OFF KNITS & TEES."
Yeah... Returns... The lilibeth sandals and green lucille dress are going back.
ReplyDeleteThe Lillibeth Sandals absolutely murdered my feet...is that why you're returning them? Nobody else seems to have had that problem.
DeleteYeah... They fit but I was walking around the house with them and both the toe area strap and the strap at the back of my ankle started bothering me and I can see that doing some major damage if I wore them for more than ten minutes so back they go.
DeleteAs for the dress... Really cute but def not cut for us straighter shaped ladies. :(
I just received my Lilibeth sandals from the promo and yes, the elastic area in the back cut into my heel like little knives. Otherwise i really like them...am wondering if I can fix it somehow - they were such a good deal.
DeleteI am returning my Lilibeth sandals, also...fit is narrow for me (and I don't have narrow feet!), not very comfortable, and I doubt they will last through the summer.
DeleteAny comments on the Dreamweaver (braided leather) flats? They seem comfortable, but I am worried about the braided leather withstanding wear...anyone have these shoes?

DeleteHi KRB-
DeleteI've never posted before, but I have the Dreamweaver flats, and I felt like I had to tell you how much I love them! I've had them a month and worn them a few times. They have worn really well so far, and they are so cute! Every time I wear them someone compliments them. I would definitely recommend them.
HollDoll129: Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Dreamweaver flats! I think I will have to keep them now...they are really unique and comfortable as well! So glad to hear they are wearing well, too :).
DeleteHow do you know what items were recently added to the sale section? its hard to keep track. I wish I could keep track of items i like and know when they went on sale...
ReplyDeleteBookmark it on your computer then click the link every morning to. See if it went on sale! For online at least.
Deletepnewelljr: I keep an updated list of the items that get marked to promo-price on my blog, so you can also check there for recent markdowns.
Delete@pnewelljr - best resource is gigi's updates!
ReplyDelete@ Julie Y - Aw, thanks :)
Delete@pnewelljr - New cuts are at the top of this post. I try to make addtl notes, i.e. if the cut was $20, if it moved from promo (.00) to sale (.99), etc...
For in-store prices differences see this post. I'll probably stop by this weekend to see if there are other cuts & items marked down in-store, but not online.
Also, Fabulous Florida Mommy has men's promo items in this post. Nice, because I am slowly trying to get my husband into The Crewniverse. (cue our galaxy far, far away music...whatever anthem that is)
when they had the additional 30% off sale items, the three sale items i had in my cart were back at regular price?! now that the promo is over they are back on sale? does that happen often?
ReplyDeletealso my jcrew honored the 30%off in store when i mentioned it to them.
that happens a lot. --prices changing.
DeleteAlthough I am surprised the store honored the 30% off especially since the website said the discount was available only online and not in stores.
AbbyA: The items you had in your cart were more than likely marked at promo-price. The promo-price items will either go back to regular price (usually in a week or two), which is what happened with the items in your cart, or get marked down further and moved into the sale section. If you're interested, you can see a more detailed explanation of the promo-priced items in this post on my blog.
Deletenew collection items added to website as of yesterday! not in sale but for full price.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of new items on promo this week, including the Collection Icon Trench, Schoolboy blazer in eylet, and Silk Bow Cami. I updated the Women's Promo-Priced Items list and posted it here. I also updated the Men's Promo-Priced Items list and posted it here. :)
ReplyDeleteShould be 'eyelet', not 'eylet'.
DeleteNo, won't be shopping this weekend. I did some damage when Talbots had 25% off the whole store and I had a 40% off one item coupon. I did buy some suits from online to try. Without the free ship/free return I wouldn't have but I need a new suit and have always wanted to try a couple of their newer styles last season but never did....shopping online for a suit with free ship/return makes it easy and I know I will end up with one suit if not two for sure this way.
ReplyDeleteI've got three boxes of stuff from the sale to try on and I'm sure I'll be returning something! I doubt if I'll buy anything in the stores, especially since my store was not honoring the extra 30% off....unless they are this weekend for some reason. I can't quite figure out when and why they do in store sales yet.
ReplyDeletestraycat - They seem to do an extra 30% off in-store when they need to make room because the racks are full and there is a new rollout on its way. Sometimes they just ship items to different stores or ship it to the warehouse, without having an addtl 30%. The store I visited last week didn't do extra 30% either.
DeleteI've got lots going back from my 30 off binge, but don't know if I'll make it there this weekend or next week.
ReplyDeleteMe too! The prices were great but I didn't care for some of the items. I do love one shirt that I bought but of course if I want more colors I don't get the 30% off. :(
DeleteBored/Frustrated with promos and the buy/re-buy cycle. Taking a break in hopes that history repeats itself with a J. crew sample sale sometime this month.
ReplyDeleteOH!! Please tell about the sample sale. :)
Deletehttp://www.260samplesale.com/upcoming-sales.html
DeleteJust received an email. There will be one in NYC June 19-25. :D
FYI, the flowy cami in polka dot & flowy cami in stripe have been on promo for $48 in-store. I saw them still at that price on Wed, 5/30.
ReplyDeleteSeville espadrilles in safari are $60 in store!
ReplyDeletesafari? which color is that? and which store please!!! thanks so much!
DeleteThe leopard printed ones, sorry if I got the name wrong! Old Orchard in Northbrook, Il
DeleteI picked them up last night! My store had a 7, and 8 left, Danbury, CT. If you can't find them try the Westport, CT store much bigger and lots more merchandise. I have to say that I love them, very comfortable and they make my legs look longer! Hoping to get a solid color when they hit sale!!
DeleteI'm going to return the cashmere striped boatneck (it bunches up in the chest area and rides up) and a striped popover hoodie that's not cotton as I hoped, but a scratchy, terry-like material. I'd like to find something cute to do an exchange, but I'm not loving much of what's out right now.
ReplyDeleteI might stop by because I am going shopping with a friend (it should be only for her). Lat time I went I had hard time to pick something to take to the fitting room but I did post a few reviews from my last visit yesterday HERE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the camp popover review. It was on my radar. Btw- those light colored new cafe Capri I think DO run small. I ordered my regular size and they were like leggings on me. Don't know why.
DeleteOT but I am SWOONING over the newly arrived collection printed sequin skirt. I think it is one of the most gorgeous skirts I have ever seen, and it is one of those special items that I can imagine wearing and loving forever. This is just the kind of item that makes me keep the faith in JC's design team. I don't have $795 in the budget right now, but I'm really thinking about it...
ReplyDeleteCould not reply but my take on the lilibeth sandals. First pair at $78, hurt like heck even on the 2nd wearing on the back of the heel. Then noticed that that piece was almost ripped off on both shoes, returning them today. Had another pair on order for $54 (30% off) and they seem to fit better and not hurt but only wearing around the house for now to see, fit and if they hold up.
ReplyDeleteI went this last week and tried on a gorgeous tunic dress that's apparently not online. The style is the same as the big apple print tunic, but the print is a large version of the arrowhead ikat. The color is a pretty pinky coral. I never buy anything from JC full price, but I suspect that this dress will sell out before it goes on sale.
ReplyDeleteLauren, this dress is called Java Tunic dress and I have reviewed it HERE. I also have a review of the new arrival remake of 2007 Confetti top HERE.
DeleteLauren, we should place bets. lol I think this one will make it to sale.
DeleteAJC-great reviews! As always:>
DeleteA couple of returns to do. Not much new - but I'd like to try the new Bateau Trench dress and the silk tee (at sale time). Sizes in the dress are nearly sold out online. My PS said it is really nice quality and easy to wear...but pricey....
ReplyDeleteJulie thanks for mentioning that bateau trench dress! I've had it in mind since the lookbook, I didn't even notice it online, did it debut this past Thursday?
DeleteIt looks lovely.
Dani,
DeleteYes it came out Thursday. I have it on order and will review when it arrives!
Just came back from the B & M store. Sales area had tons of those "Daisy Duke" shorts that I can't figure out who is buying. Obviously not many people around here. Lots of other stuff too, but nothing I really wanted. Sales gals told me next week will be the final summer roll out. I wore my new Sovereign Paisley skirt and got lots of compliments. I love the longer length of this skirt. A really overly catty SA latched onto me. She went ad nauseam about the stripe linen open stitch sweater in the yellow/beige colorway. I really wanted to ask her if management told her to push that ugly shapeless thing. She explained to me in detail all the ways I could wear it....blah, blah, blah. I was wearing J. Crew head to toe....did she think I'm a newbie? I couldn't get out of the store fast enough.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. I have and love the linen sweater in the sun driftwood colorway. Check out how gorgeous it llooks on the blog Pink Peony on the post from 5/31. Just size down a size or two and it is perfect.
DeleteSorry. Blog is Pink Peonies
DeleteI found the mini pave-link bracelet on sale for $39.99 in store today.
ReplyDeleteWhich store was this at?
DeleteI'm not going to the b&m but I did pick up a couple of items (stripe dolman & green hutton trousers) online a few minutes ago that were "sold out" during the 30% off sale. I really wanted them and there is low inventory, so I scooped them up real quick.
ReplyDeleteHow can you tell what the inventory is?
DeleteWalnut Creek 9259437664
ReplyDelete* big-shot dot circle skirt - 0
* jardin maxiskirt - One of each of these sizes in aqua: 6, 8, 14
Crewcuts sale section is an addtl 30% off.
How much was the big shot dot circle skirt?? Thanks!
DeleteOWS - The big shot dot circle skirt is now $49.99 in-store.
DeleteI'm looking for the Big Shot skirt in a size 4, if anyone sees one, can you please let me know.
Deleteusa_annie@yahoo.com
Thanks
I visited yesterday, so another mention of the in-store price notes. Here are the ones I can remember right now from the list:
ReplyDelete* Candy stripe jute clutch $49.99
* Linen cable sweater in wave crest $49.99
* Martina patent wedges bronzed clay $69.99
* Matinee trench $109.99 both colors at this price for awhile
* Tessa top in brilliant purple $54.99
The most recent price changes have the date noted in red.
Oh thanks... I might try for a PA on the readable top while I'm returning other things.
DeleteUh. Tessa top. Stupid auto correct.
DeleteI get so jealous of all you JCA's with awesome shoes on sale in the store! My store barely carries shoes, so I can never catch good sales on them.
DeleteWent to my small B&M last night, some jewelry on sale that I did not see online. Bellflower earrings on sale for 39.99, Bauble cascade necklace, sorry I could not see the price on that one, but in the sale case, golden cabachon bracelet, 39.99, I picked that up in green, love it, that was it, HTH!!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn From Vancouver here
DeleteThat bracelet and those bellflower earings are too die for. Both are very substantial in size. At that price I would have bought both pieces...no luck me getting those prices at the store here. May need to do a trip to Seattle soon...if this big difference of prices online/in store/in USA or Canada keeps up. thanks for the heads up on $$.
Does anyone know if there's an additional percent off this weekend? My b&m's sale section was full to the brim on Thursday but prices are much too high and I'm not biting without an additional percent off.
ReplyDeletenomoneyfun- No addtl % off as of yesterday, Fri. Only for Crewcuts, 30% off sale items.
DeleteThanks Gigi
DeleteHi, this isn't relevant but does anyone know if the stripe sequin tank, item 70195, fits true to size? I usually wear a medium but could only find it in a large. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAM MD - It's J Crew. It's relevant. lol I agree w/Rynetta. TTS.
DeleteThanks for your help! Unfortunately, I could only find it in L. Do you think it's too delicate to be altered? I'm desperate!
DeleteAD MD: I wouldn't alter the top. In my opinion, the sequins would make it really hard/expensive to do so.
DeleteAgree again w/Rynetta. In my experience absolutely having to have something leads to it being not worn/never taken to alterations/etc... Bookmark it and wait for a popback. $.02
DeleteThanks for your advice! It will probably go back when it gets here. :(
DeleteGreat advice, Gigi! I totally agree. Most of the clothing items I just "had to have" languish in my closet and eventually I sell them.
DeleteAD MD: my apologies for the delayed response on my blog, but I'm traveling. The tank fits TTS in my opinion. I took my normal size large. HTH!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help!
DeleteI went to my local b&m and after a bunch of returns...I bought my jardin skirt! :) I also bought a women's timex weekender watch for $59. I've been wanting a simple watch that I could change out the bands. I bough the bright orange band for$2.99 :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if this is going on company-wide, but the King of Prussia Madewell is offering an additional 30% off sale merchandise this weekend. The SA who checked me out also happily applied my student discount. Philly-area JCAs should def take advantage!
ReplyDeleteDidn't see this in the NYC Madewell, at least no signs. Lucky! :)
DeleteJustme, if you type in a single digit number under quantity on the item you want it will show up in your shopping bag as either available or with limited availability. Also, an SA or personal shopper can let you know the same info. HTH.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shekster!
DeleteI'll try visiting the Yorkdale store some time this week. Feeling painfully shopped out and exhausted at the moment. I spent several hundred dollars worth and most of it is going back. Everything I ordered was too large (if anyone is interested in taking them off my hands before I mail them back, I have a the seersucker schoolboy blazer in size 6 and the canvas schoolboy blazer, also size 6 ). Thankfully none of it was final sale otherwise I would be in trouble!
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but just wanted to remind everyone that today is the last chance to enter my giveaway for the J. Crew and SkinCareRX.com gift cards!
Visited the Robson St. store in Vancouver. The sale section is slowly growing. I saw quite a number of ballet flats (in flame, fuchsia), Olympia Sandals for $69.99. Also the Maritime Dress, Linen Cable Boatneck sweaters in white, navy, jade, Jackie cardis in Bright Violet, Jade, Canvas, Gingham Shirt in neon kiwi, Perfect Stretch Shirt in Mint... Store is as cramped as before. People in wheelchairs and mom pushing strollers are having a tough time getting around, but the SAs are super helpful, even offering bottles of water (which is unheard of in Canada). A good shopping experience, but prices are still miles away from those online (esp. if you're able to order from the US site). BR(USA) got my money this weekend with their 30% off promo.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know when the next big rollout will be? I know there were a few new things last week...
ReplyDeleteCloset Crisis-you are so lucky! I would love to have things like that at my local Jcrew, they never have anything, no sale items no arrivals and NOTHING online!, has anyone else seen the gingham shirt in neon kiwi on sale??
ReplyDeleteObsessedWShopping- I saw the neon kiwi shirt on sale at the Natick, MA store on Friday. They had a couple in small sizes. I think it was around $50.
ReplyDeleteAllisonFay, my b&m will have the new line out on the 12th, but they will be closed with renovations from the 8th to the 11th, so the new line could be out earlier in other stores.
ReplyDeleteMy b&m lost crewcuts (boo - much better prices in store than online), so they'll have a "fancy" area for shoes, jewelry, and accessories. The b&m is also going to be a level higher, so I'm hoping we get to see some the pretties when they actually appear in larger b&m's, instead of having to wait a couple weeks.
Just posted a review of the Jcrew Ultra Eyelet Shell on my blog megancrewreviews.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
