Sneak Peek: J.Crew's August 2013 Catalog {thanks Slastena!}

A big "thanks!" to Slastena, (check out her {amazing} About All and Nothing at All blog), who shared the sneak peek (and related product info) from the upcoming August catalog with us. {yey!} Just click on the image to view it larger.

The items in the top image are as follows: (1) Schoolboy Blazer; (2) Toothpick Jean; (3) Silk Blouse, and (4)Sloane Pumps. It is a pretty basic outfit- but it is also pretty classic.


The second image showcases J.Crew's Italian cashmere collection including the Fair Isle print ("inspired by a Moroccan tapestry").

Moreover, "thanks!" to A (in this post) who shared the following tidbit with us this past weekend: "At my store they also mentioned that new arrivals will be out on Thursday and handed out coupons for 20% storewide starting the 17th. I think it ends the 28th but can't remember."

Can't wait to see the rest of the August roll out from J.Crew! Even though the temperatures are crazy hot where I am, I am excited to see what Fall has in store for us.

What are your thoughts? Do you know when the newest arrivals are expected to be available? Are you looking forward to the upcoming new arrivals?

  1. Thanks, Slastena :). I like that classic, too, Alexis. A mgr told me vps-ers will be able to offer 25% off of $150+ but the details weren't clear. At all. The SA listening in seemed unclear as well. Will report when there is more specific info.

    There were new cuts online yesterday, 7/15. Check them out at the top of the Irl Pic Guide.

  2. Whoops! Sorry, Alexis, I was referring to the factory store and not retail. But to follow up with details, the card says 20% off $100+ and does run from 7/17-28.

    Also, I received a call from my closest factory store yesterday saying new arrivals would be out on Wednesday. Fingers crossed that they will show up online the same day!

  3. OT: There was a large update to the sale section this morning with new promo-priced items & several new markdowns including the tortoise flower necklace - $99.99, Collection Liberty topcoat in Phoebe floral - $369.99, & Collection embroidered neon floral skirt - $169.99. I'll have the rest of the list up on my blog in just a bit. :)

  7. Thanks for the preview! I am always so excited for fall at J. Crew!

    This happens to me every year ... by mid-July I am tired of looking at summer stuff (and sale section, I'm talking to you!) and half of my recent acquisitions still have the tags on. It's also 95 degrees in the shade, but I am still starting to dream of tweedy Schoolboys and (season appropriate) cashmere.

    1. LOL-I can relate. I recently bought myself the navy wool schoolboy (on eBay) for my birthday! It will be at least 3 months before I can wear it here, but I'm so much more a fan of cold weather clothing in general. A navy fleece hoodie arrived from the Crew a few days ago (the tan color has popped back for $50this morning pre-code if anyone is interested).

    2. Wendy lol I just ordered the Factory gray striped hoodie :)

  9. Thank you so much for posting the photos. I can't wait to see everything--you have gotten me so excited!

    Question--do I really need the tipped linen collection Schoolboy? I have the wool one. I have the dotted one from earlier this year. I have various non Collection linen ones . . .

    1. I asked myself the same question but the tipped linen blazer looks quite pretty. It's not final sale so well worth the risk

    2. I debated the exact same thing and went ahead and got the tipped one and LOVE it!! Really nice for spring and summer. I think it is one of j.crew's nicer offerings as of late.

    3. Depends where you live/work. I never end up wearing summer jackets as much as I think I will. It's too hot where I am to ever wear an outer layer thicker than a cotton cardigan.

  10. The new Sloan pump is really nice - can't wait until it comes out in suede, since I prefer that to patent.

    But did they really have to name one of their colors "faded barn"? What the heck!? Looks more like eggplant to me.

  11. I love the Sloane pumps in leopard...tried to order, however, sold out...disappointed! Love that shoe! :)

    1. I think they have the Sloan- leopard print at the F St., WDC store...??? Or at least there is a leopard print shoe that looks very much like the Sloan patent from the website.

  12. I am looking forward to new arrivals - nothing has really caught my eye for the last few weeks.

  13. Love the lighter wash denim...everyone was wearing it in Spain. Yay Fall rollouts, hope there are some good pencil skirt colors(hello navy) and some proper argyle.

  15. Is the August catalog available in stores yet? Don't want to make the trek in this horrendous heat if it isn't there. Thanks!

  17. After a second look, I must apologize to you, A Sister Thing...definitely not the Sloan that you are looking for. Good substitute, but definitely not the Sloan leopard print. F. St. store has the Everly and Valentina pumps in leopard print but not the Sloan. Thought they looked similar but I can now see the difference!
