Today Only: 30% Off Select Spring Styles

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

J.Crew is offering an additional 30% off select items at J.Crew with code SHOPSPRING. This offer expires today, March 31, 2014. The fine print for this offer includes:

*Offer valid on purchases of select spring styles at jcrew.com on March 31, 2014, from 12:01am ET through 11:59pm ET only. Offer valid only on items listed in the 30% Off Select Spring Styles assortment. Offer not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. To redeem, enter code SHOPSPRING 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.

This promotion is great for those interested in the new arrivals. Even though it is a pre-selected amount of items on sale, it does include jewelry and handbags (pretty nice!) However, I am just feeling pretty blah about the promotion in general.

The Flower Fan Necklace is part of today's promotion. It looks super cute! But it did get me thinking... Is it just me, or is J.Crew's jewelry is on repeat lately. As in, they are producing variations of their variations.

Will you be taking advantage of this latest promotion? What are your thoughts on this sale? Are you loving the latest arrivals from J.Crew?

J.Crew Updates Website with New Arrivals!

 

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online).

There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The March catalog (click here to view) is still up. However, the latest APRIL catalog is not. As mentioned by several JCAs, J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

Even better! It looks like J.Crew is offering 25% on all orders with promo code HEYSPRING. Plus, they are running 30% off everything for cardmembers (no min! both online and in stores!) with promo code CARDLOVE. This offer expires March 25, 2014. The fine print includes:

*25% discount valid in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from March 19, 2014, 12:01am ET through March 25, 2014, 11:59pm ET. To redeem online, enter code HEYSPRING in the promo code box at checkout.  *30% discount valid in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from March 19, 2014, 12:01am ET through March 25, 2014, 11:59pm ET on purchases made using a J.Crew Credit Card. Not valid in Canadian J.Crew stores. To redeem online, enter code CARDLOVE in the promo code box at checkout. Subject to credit approval.  *Offers not valid in Liquor Store or Ludlow Shops; in 769 Madison Avenue, Bloor Street or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders. Offers cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. Offers not valid on women's denim, men's Ludlow suiting and footwear, Garments for Good or babies' merchandise or on select Collection, wedding or third-party branded merchandise. In-store discounts automatically taken at the register. Limit one promotional code per order. Offers valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms are subject to change. 

After checking the new arrivals, here are my top two picks:

* Thanks to J.Crew, I am into baseball caps. So of course I spied the Eyelet baseball cap (item A4331; $39.50), which is adorable for Spring and Summer. 

* The Stretch eyelet dress (item A2982; $158.00) is such a lovely dress for those warm-weather days. Looks super comfortable, yet dressy, at the same time. Just not feeling that starting out price point. Ouch!

With my top two picks in mind... I am once again kind of "meh" with the overall April roll-out. I am left to wonder where all the cute, cotton dresses under $100, are? Where are all the cute skirts? Where are the dresses *and* skirts that are knee length?!? (Some of us JCAs would like to bend over without flashing a crowd. Seriously.) Here is to hoping Summer has a little bit more for me.

While I am questioning some things, I have to ask about the styling of the Point Sur slim stacker Japanese selvedge jean in klutey wash (item A3614; $258.00). According to the description: "extra-long inseam... You're gonna want to cuff it to show off the premium selvedge." Is this the new trend now? I only have seen Sarah Jessica Parker rocking this look for what seems like ages. But I am not sure about it. Thoughts?

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? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)

J.Crew's April 2014 Catalog on Pinterest

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Susan (in this post), who let us know that there are several images from the April 2014 catalog on Pinterest. (Click here for J.Crew on Pinterest.) The catalog is already available in J.Crew stores. Plus, it is being shipped out to customers via snail mail.

Word among several JCAs is that the next roll out of new arrivals (online) is this Wednesday. Brick & mortar stores might already have items on the floor.

Honestly, I am sooooo over Winter. Looking at images of Spring / Spring clothing is a welcome retreat. ;)

What are your thoughts on the upcoming collection? Are there any pieces you are super excited about? Does your local store carry any of the new arrivals yet? If so, please share!

It's Back {again}! Extra 40-50% Off Final Sale at J.Crew

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

J.Crew is offering 40-50% off Final Sale with promotional code EXTRA40. This offer expires tomorrow, March 18, 2014. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid on the purchase of final sale items at jcrew.com from March 17, 2014, 12:01am ET through March 18, 2014, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew or 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. To redeem, enter code EXTRA40 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. Final sale items cannot be returned or exchanged.

J.Crew has a nice update to their Sale (click here to shop online) section online this morning. Lots of merchandise (1650+ for Women and 700+ for Men). There were over 1850+ items for women last night. As one would expect, things are selling out.

I am thrilled to see this promotion back. Especially since brick & mortar stores started offering the same promotion over the weekend. I am just confused as to why it is only for two days. I have said this before and I will say it again: just keep this promotion until the sale section dwindles down to a few hundred items. There is too much merchandise just sitting around final sale.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? If so, please share!
