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 SPRING 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!

J.Crew Pops Up in London

"Thanks!" to many of you, including GigiOfCa (in this post) who let us know that J.Crew opened a pop-up store in London.

There are a few posts about this event over at J.Crew's own 770 blog ("Hello, London: Up Early with Jenna"; "Hello, London: Our Pop-Up Has Arrived"; and "Hello, London: It’s Cocktail Hour"). All the photos in this post come from J.Crew's blog.








The following is from NY Daily News (click here to read in its entirety) about the pop-up store:
J.Crew opens flash pop-up shop in London: Temporary store open only 48 hours
For its first foray in the city J.Crew is setting up a temporary shop in the Western Transit Shed in King's Cross, London.

May 24, 2013

The preppy US retailer has opened a summer pop-up store in London and teamed up with the city's famous fashion school, Central Saint Martins, for a series of projects.

For its first foray in the city J.Crew is setting up a temporary shop in the Western Transit Shed in King's Cross, London.

Featuring the brand's famous monogramming service, as well as a selection of special Spring/Summer pieces and a preview of the Fall collection, the pop-up shop is set to live up to its name and will be open for just 48 hours, from May 24 to 25.

Longer-lived London plans include a design project and scholarship program with the city's famed Central Saint Martins fashion school, alma mater to Alexander McQueen, Zac Posen and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci among others.

On Wednesday the brand's creative director Jenna Lyons set the school's knitwear students a cashmere challenge, with the winning design picked for production and sold in J.Crew stores around the globe.

"Knitwear knowledge isn't as prevalent in the US. Here, it's a much bigger deal" Lyons told Vogue. "You guys love a knit," added the 44-year-old designer.

J.Crew will also be awarding a scholarship (covering course fees and accomodation for a year) to one lucky applicant to the Central Saint Martins fashion MA program.

Central Saint Martins's famed fashion professor, Louise Wilson, explained the link between brands and higher education programs: "without brands' support, we would be dead in the water. We met through their fortuitous imagination. This is about live learning," she added.

J.Crew will be opening a full flagship in November on Regent Street in the famous West End of the city.

The pop-up store definitely looks intriguing! It has a more high-end feel than I was expecting it to. I am so curious what the Regent Street store will end up looking like now. (Probably like a concept store than the one in my mall.)

What are your thoughts on J.Crew's pop-up store? Do you like the layout? Are you excited about their upcoming opening in London?

"Looking to VENT" with J.Crew

Canadian JCAs: 25% Off {plus 20% off for international orders}

Also "thanks!" to shargey (in this post) who shared the following promotional codes for international orders: MAGALOG15 and FRIEND15 for 20% off purchases. These offers expire Sunday, June 30, 2013 as well. She also mentions:
Both will get you 20% off a purchase at jcrew.com. Valid May 3 to June 30, 2013. Shipping via DHL. Not valid in the U.S. Not sure if they are single-use or not - they don't look it, nor does the fine print indicate that they are.

HelloStyle: 30% Off J.Crew's Spring Sale {plus 50% Off Factory}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including GigiOfCa & Ruth (in this post), who shared the following promotion from J.Crew this morning.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an additional 30% off all sale items (no min) with promo code HELLOSTYLE. Yey! This code expires Thursday, May 30, 2013. The fine print includes:
*Offer valid on purchases of sale items made in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from May 27, 2013, 12:01am ET through May 30, 2013, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. Discount on store purchases applied at register. To redeem online, enter code HELLOSTYLE in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change. 
There's more! International customers can take an additional 25% off all sale items (no min) with promo code STYLE. This code expires Sunday, June 2, 2013.

I love that these offers are available so quickly after the last stacked promo. Plus, I love that this promotion is being extended for in-store purchases. Especially since stores have lower price points for the same items on sale online.

Plus, J.Crew Factory is offering "50% off everything" and prices are automatically adjusted. This offer is good for today only. The fine print for this offer:
Prices as marked. Offer valid on purchases made at jcrewfactory.com from May 27, 2013, 12:01am ET through May 27, 2013, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrew.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.
J.Crew is offering a similar offer at brick & mortar Factory Stores: customers can take 50% off any purchase (using the print-out). For more info, click here and for print out click HERE. Once again, prices tend to be much better in stores (than online). So definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Will you be checking out the Spring Sale section? Are there any items you are hoping to see or to get?

Happy Memorial Day! {celebrating with J.Crew?}

Happy Memorial Weekend Everyone! 
I wish everyone a great Memorial Day (with great weather and safe travels). :)

Since a lot of us will be attending various outdoor parties, parades, and traveling to visit family and friends- I thought it would be fun to get ideas of what to wear today.

I plan on wearing the Ikat Halter Dress (Item 15197; $225.00) in blue. [This dress was released back in 2009. I initially was not a fan of the dress, but once I tried it on... well, I ended up with both colors. ;) ] This dress is great- simple to wear and looks more "dressed-up" than it actually is.

What are you planning to wear this Memorial Day weekend? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?

J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

"Thanks!" to many of you, including GigiOfCa & JRSConifer (in this post), who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online). There are over 200 new arrivals on the website!

There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, but not the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The May catalog (click here to view) is still available to view. However, the new June catalog (with Liya Kebede on location in Tanzania) is not up yet.  This catalog will probably be available online in another week or two.

In the meantime, J.Crew is sending out the newest catalog to customers (and available at many J.Crew stores).
Plus, J.Crew is running a new stacked promotion: $30 off $150+, $50 off $200+, and $75 off $250+ with promotional code SHOPNOW. This offer expires Sunday, May 26, 2013. The fine print includes:
*$30 discount valid on purchases of $150 or more before taxes are added. $50 discount valid on purchases of $200 or more before taxes are added. $75 discount valid on purchases of $250 or more before taxes are added. Valid on qualifying purchases made in J.Crew stores or jcrew.com from May 22, 2013, 12:01am ET through May 26, 2013, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew Factory stores, the 769 Madison Avenue store, Ludlow Shop stores, jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer not valid on previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. In-store discount automatically applied at register. To redeem online, enter code SHOPNOW in the promo code box at checkout. Discount not valid on CFDA merchandise, bridal gowns, men's suiting and third-party branded merchandise. Valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.
There's more! J.Crew is offering $5 shipping with free returns. This offer expires June 18, 2013. The fine print includes:
FOR A LIMITED TIME: Enjoy $5 shipping & free returns. Flat-rate shipping and free returns valid on purchases made at jcrew.com or by phone from May 22, 2013, through June 18, 2013. Offer valid for shipments to the U.S. only. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash. Flat-rate shipping applied automatically at checkout. Orders will be shipped via regular ground shipping (3 to 6 business days) and return requests must be made in accordance with our return policy. Terms of offer are subject to change.
As many of you have noticed when flipping through the June catalog, J.Crew is really digging through their past archives... Why? Because a lot of older prints are resurfacing.

The latest roll-out includes the Ratti Regatta Short (item 68384; $98.00) which J.Crew shares: "Straight from the storied archives of Italy's Ratti print house (our go-to source for one-of-a-kind prints), this sunny sailboat motif first popped up in our summer '06 collection." I remember this print from 2006 (and I believe it was on a full shaped skirt.)

The Sale Section (click here to shop online) had a decent update this morning for Women (930+ items) and Men (360+). There are a number of older (somewhat random) pop-backs. 

What items are you most excited about and why? Which items are you surprised (or not surprised) to see? Which items did you hope would be included? Were you expecting a bigger roll-out today? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)

20% Off Women's Apparel {last day!}

Today is the last day J.Crew is offering customers 20% off regular priced Women's apparel with promo code LOOK20. The promotion also applies to in-store purchases (which are automatically discounted at the register).

Many JCAs have mentioned that new arrivals will show up online tomorrow morning. I am wondering if J.Crew will extend this promotion so shoppers can purchase some of those new arrivals... Plus it would be a good promotion for the holiday weekend. (Memorial Day weekend is just four days away as J.Crew's email points out.)

Will you be taking advantage of this offer? Do you think J.Crew will offer a promotion for Memorial Day weekend?

Please note that any transactions are independent of this blog. (Especially since you will be using an outside listing/ auction site like eBay or eCrater.) I have no dealings or interactions with any of the potential communication, listings, or transactions. :) Moreover, please limit comments about items to swap/sell/share to the "Great (Weekly) Exchange" posts.

Do you have any items you would like to swap/sell/share among yourselves through your outside listing/auction site?

Sidenote: What's up with JCAs writing "sub" or "subscribing" as their comment? It just means they are subscribing to all the comments (which are then automatically sent to their email) in that particular thread. This way they can stay aware of all the comments posted. :)
