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 FALL 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!

  1. I stopped into the Century City Los Angeles store on Thursday and, from what I saw, looks like they are amping up for a nice sale. No extra on sale yet :( Someone rolled two full rolling racks of clean, full program sale Merch (a few sold out items from online, i.e. sequin tanks, anchor dress, etc...). The new Tippi cardigan in the light greenish blue and light pink were marked $39.99. Cecelia studded ballet flat- FP online, on sale in store for $69.99. Doing a few online returns tomorrow so I'll report back if I see anything else note-worthy :)

  2. 30% selected Mens, Womens, and Crewcut sweaters promo! The prices aren't marked yet, so I'm assuming the promo is just rolling out or it's a very, very sad promo. ;) I'm hoping a certain hen is included. Cluck, cluck. Or baaaaa, baaaaa. Ha!

  4. I'm going to try to visit this weekend to check out some of the new arrivals in person.

    Also, as Heather mentioned there is a sweater promo online this morning. I've compiled lists of the 'select' sweaters that receive up to 30% off for both the women and men. Women's list here. Men's list here.

  5. No, I've done enough online damage this week with the 30 off. Looking forward to hearing about what everyone finds in-store! Happy shopping!!

  6. Just called up customer service and asked for a price adjustment on the Tippi Cardigan I just bought. Geez! On sale already! She was nice, but reminded me I was outside of the 7 days (by one day, whateva) and that she was doing me a favor. I looked over the sweaters and I might buy another Tippi or Tippi cardigan. Nothing else looks interesting to me. I might stop in on Saturday....is there going to be anything new?

  10. I'm going this weekend...I have a BR coupon I was planning to use too. I love the Tippi sweaters..I ordered one cardigan this week but I've never tried on the Tippi cardigans..I hope the size is the same.

  11. I'm finding the Tippi cardigan sizing to be all over the place. Ordered the leopard Tippi cardy in a small (my usual pullover Tippi size) and it was huge. Reordered an XS and another S to check the sizing. This order, the XS was tiny and the S fit fine. Picked up a Turquoise Pool Tippi cardigan on sale in the store yesterday and definitely needed the XS; was swimming in the small and even the sleeves were big, which I don't usually find in J Crew merino sweaters. I have slim arms and a lot of J Crew sweaters suffer from Tight Sleeve Syndrome. Nevertheless, it is a great sweater. I like the style and length a lot better than the previous crew neck merino cardigans. Hope they make some gorgeous print ones like back in the day.

    1. I went w the XS in Turquoise Pool too. (I usually take 2 or 4 in JC tops) I didn't try on any other colours but in TP the small left the buttons gaping because it was too big.

    2. Now I'm worried, I just ordered the leopard cardi too. Perhaps it's the universe telling me I don't *need* a fourth leopard top?? I guess I will find out once it arrives!

  12. I really would have loved to get a Tippi in retro jade and maybe one other color, but I won't pay to ship it. Oh well.

    1. +1. I think this is a pretty good price for the solid Tippis, but since I've already placed an order this week, I'm loathe to pay shipping for just one or two.

      Delete
    2. Yup - had extra 30% off applied to both sale AND f-p stuff, I'd have gone for it.

      It's all good, they will drop again. :P

  13. I'm going to check out the new men's store in South Coast Plaza (SoCal) and I'm also going to return my Copley Grand Saddlebag. So disappointed--strap is too short and too narrow for the bag. It could have been great, but just missed.

  14. Can anyone please report if the pastel ankle stretch toohpicks are on sale in your store? I am stalking them like no one's business. Thanks - florapower9@gmail.com

  15. +1 for getting a couple of Tippis. Though, I'm pretty sure in-store is marked quite a bit higher than the online regular price. Will have to get a price match.

  16. OT...just received my recent order ( I had a 20% off code that alot of us Canadians received) The margate sarchel had scratches on the front pockets gold clasp ( this was $170- so going back)The black paisley applique top ( came out to just under $80--was a joke...it is just a cheap cotton top. If anyone is eyeing it for on sale it is short,boxy and unimpressive. I somehow thought it would be lovely ?
    Thank goodness all were not final sale...I did order other items...and ALL went back. The quality is OLD NAVY at best for a much larger price tag. I like Old Navy and the prices of their garments reflect their quaility .So don't get me wrong.
    ++ I like it when I am right...I knew that archipelago jewellery would be marked down soon...I am going to sit back and watch alot of this falls items... prices fall just as the quality has. Carolyn from Vancouver

    1. Straycat, I just picked up both colors in store for $39.99. I don't know what the online price is. I did think they ran big compared to the two tone one but they only had small in both colors.

  18. Just posted pics and a review of the Sterling skirt in retro jade here.

  21. (who wishes I would give up trying to post this correctly? rofl)

    I'll try this again...

    As erilett27 mentioned, there are some in-store price differences. I've noted them in this post, incl the Naomi top in turquoise pool for $39.99.

    I also noticed items that are out of stock online are still available in-store, i.e anchors aweigh cardi...heck, a few of the anchor pieces, come to think of it.

  26. I stopped by to return the Sterling skirts. Should have left empty-handed, but the Tippi cardigan in Turquoise Pool was on sale for $39.99 so I bought that.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cate.....Did you review the Sterling skirt? Why are you returning them? I've been waiting to hear how they are and how they compare to last year's version. I'm dying to know!

  28. Stop at The Grove (Los Angeles), and noticed a few other price differences. Tillary Tote on promo for $118 online- all three colors on sale for $109.99 in store. The New Bootcut Denim in White on promo for $88- on sale for $49.99 in store (I quickly snagged the last pair in my size!) Cece suede flat in Iris sold out online- on sale for $69.99 in store w/LOTS of sizes available. Cece Ballet Patent Leather Flat in Tortoise sold out online (but I thought I saw it earlier this week for approx $119.99) - On sale for $79.99 in store; again, many sizes available at this location. Mona Patent Pump sold out online in Beige (other colors $119.99) - in store price is higher ($129.99) but they have tons of sizes in this color & they will honor online price if you ask.
