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 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!

  4. Not going over the weekend. Took back a boatload of returns from the 30% off orders last weekend - mostly due to sizing issues. Going in to visit VPS before opening on Tuesday morning to see new arrivals.

  5. OT-Has anyone ever seen the cashmere-mohair turtleneck item 58454?

  6. Not me. The next shopping trip/order will be for corduroy pants and stuff and I'm not ready for that yet.

  8. I notice that there are a bunch of additional markdowns this morning on sale items online. I put some shorts in my shopping cart last night, and they are all further marked down this morning.

  9. I will probably be headed there since it is tax free weekend. Can't believe they are not doing any promos. Oh wait, it's J.Crew, yes I can.

    OT, but I'm doing a giveaway on my blog today! Click here to check it out.

  10. I'm such a sucker. I did buy another bikini :>. Didn't see the promo on my iPhone. Thx!

  11. I peeked in quickly yesterday and my store had a slightly larger sale section than last week. The Pom Pom shell in white was $69.99, and the Derby dress was on sale too.Many scarves were marked down to $39.99 and there were Mona pumps for $129.00, although I don't remember the color.
    HTHs!

  12. Arden Warehouse Sale for me, I've been saving my pennies for this one! I'm so nervous, feels like I'm gearing up for some black Friday shopping...up early, long lines, people everywhere trying to grab the best stuff...hope it pays off :)

    1. I'm going too! I've also put my spending on hold in hopes of stocking up. Good luck!

  13. I'll be heading in to make some returns and to check out some pieces in person. I also just posted reviews of the burgundy Double-breasted Blazer and the Rugby Boatneck in the burgundy/pink stripe here.

  14. I'm doing a return today. Don't plan on purchasing anything until the Sterling skirt comes out. I need one of the new colors. I did see a couple new necklaces that I wasn't impressed with. Very expensive and looked cheap to me.

  15. I did an exchange yesterday at the Burlington, Mass. store and noticed they had a number of items on sale (the week before much less): a bunch of sleeveless silk tops, some cotton tops, some summery skirts, scarves, and crossbody purses in a style I can't remember the name of--they aren't online right now.

  16. I went to the SLC Fashion Place store last night and it was pretty meh... the sale section was miniscule, and the front of the store was looking a little sad (there were even a few bare face-outs right near the doors).

    ReplyDelete
  17. I am back in Oslo so there will no visit to J. Crew this time, but I will be looking through Madewell website to see if I can use the 20% off deal purchases over $150 promotion! :o)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not for me, on vacation and trying to enjoy the scenery outside of the mall :) my rewards card is burning a hole in my pocket though, hoping some more new fall arrivals piqué my interest before sept 15.

    Happy shopping everyone!!

  19. Yes, I'm gonna check out the Toronto store tonight and see what August items they have. I'm just going to try things on and then I'll wait for FP promo.

    2. They will get more on Monday. They had some new Aug things but only in say, one new colour. Sale section was mostly tops and pants. Nothing exciting. The liberty shirts were in and some tippi sweaters and tippi cardis.

  20. OT, but can someone recommend the best stores in the Atlanta area? I just moved down here from Detroit, and it seems there are quite a few in the area. I checked out North Point last night, but was a bit disappointed in how small it was. Any advice would be appreciated - I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms!

    1. ifky12, the North Point location is definitely one of the smaller J. Crews in ATL. Check out Perimeter Mall and Lenox Mall.

      Delete
    2. I agree w/Sunny. It's worth making the trip to Lenox for JCrew & Madewell within yards of each other. The selection at the Lenox Mall JCrew is the biggest of all metro area stores. If you live north of the Perimeter (Hwy 285), the better store to go to is the one at the Forum in Norcross.

    3. Hey homegirl! I am also a detroit (clinton township) girl who moved down south here in Texas....I saw some tees on a website that said "Michigangster", they were too cute!

    4. Nicole - love it! I would wear it with pride :)

  21. No J.Crew for me this weekend. Waiting (patiently) for September's roll-out that should be launching online two weeks from today. I can't wait to see the September catalog!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm heading to Seattle this weekend for a quick visit (thanks for the shopping guide for this city, by the way!), but am saving my mad money and Rewards Card for a New York trip the week after. Hopefully, more fall items will be in the stores then!

  23. Postgradchic posted that the Madewell sidewalk skimmer in polka dot (both in black and the taupe w/ blue dots) in store is 60% off. Can you call a b&m and have them send like w/ JCrew? And has anyone seen these in a particular store (size 11 :) ) that could share? Thanks!

    1. Yes you can call a Madewell B&M and have them ship to you however you will have to pay shipping (I'm sorry it's been a while since I've done it so I don't remember their shipping rate). You can also call a b&m and they can do a search for a store that might have the sidewalk skimmer. HTH.

    2. Curious to hear how they compare to the Viv flats? Do you take the same size etc?

      Delete
    3. I took my normal shoe size in the Madewell Sidewalk Skimmers (so a 6), whereas I went up half a size in the Vivs (a 6.5). HTH!

  24. ...and I just got the Neon Rose ankle-zip skinnies today and they are NEON! whew!!

  25. Has anyone seen in-person what looks to be the Little Edie purse in a bottle-green crocodile? It is featured on JC's Fall/Winter Lookbook online, Look no.3. Definitely on my want list!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I won't be going. I'm bored with J. Crew right now. I want to buy, but I don't like anything enough to buy it. I hope the next rollout will be better.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think I'll wait until they get in more new arrivals before I head over to the mall. I think someone mentioned on a previous post that the stores will get them in on the 13th?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Gap and JCrew right now? I saw a peterpan collar sweater with jewels on the collar like JCrew is showing. Also the Heart sweater is everywhere.

    1. I just got an email from Kate Spade with their new jeweled Peter pan collars featured. What ever happened to design originality?

    2. As the deli counterman said of his 5 different-colored bowls of potato salad, "Don't fuss, lady, they all come out of the same vat." I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that soon we will be talking about the good old days when some RTW came from Turkey, other stuff from Guam, still other stuff from Colombia, instead of everything from ...

    3. Not to mention their Academy Blazer w the contrasting piping like JC's. Madewell had a blazer called the Academy first.

      Delete
    4. WFF- yup! Lol!

      It was the blazer with piping that made me roll my eyes. And all the stripes, chambray shirts and colored jeans. Redundant.

  29. Hi everybody, Still obsessing about the icon trench. Does anyone know how the factory trench compares with the retail version? I called a few stores and they did not have the retail version, but it looks like the factory version is similar - just not sure on the quality and fit. Would love to pull the trigger online and stop obsessing :) Thanks for your help!!
