Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

    New Fall promo at Madewell!

    30% off $200+ OR 20% off $100+. Use code WINWIN. In stores and on-line (only on US orders -- see my comment in "vents"!). Good through Sept. 21.

    Boden has a new rollout for those fans out there and I just love it, the items are colorful and fun. They also have some really cute dresses and shoes.

      I always see people on this blog writing about Boden...I think I saw a catalog once but didn't seem a whole lot like J. Crew...Do they have stores in certain parts of the country? I have never seen one.

      RN - They don't have any stores on the east coast that I know of, I'm not sure about the rest of the USA. They have only started within the past few years to really tap into the US market so maybe there will be some B&M to follow in the future. I hope so although their USA shipping has vastly improved within the past year.

      I pretty sure they don't have any US stores. Here is a code for 15% Off + Free Shipping & Free Returns + Free 1-Year Subscription To Self Magazine: W9B9

      The extra percent off won't work for sale items but you can still use it for the free return shipping which is a good way to try stuff out.

      I got a catalog last week and fell in love with the navy printed Karlie coat. I immediately went to the site to buy it and it isn't available yet. What a tease!

      I'm totally crushing on the Boden "marcy boot" - a tall leather boot and it comes in navy blue!

      I agree! Even though I haven't bought a lot of Boden in ages, the aesthetic is really appealing to me. Kudos to their designers, who really have come up with some lovely 60s and 70s-inspired pieces. The catalog is put together so nicely...a real cohesiveness to the collection that I feel has been missing from J. Crew for quite awhile. Some of these items may make it to my closet this time around!

      OMG, I hate you all for pointing out the Boden catalog. I don't need any fall clothes!

      Seriously, there is some great stuff in there. Wow. The online catalog is beautiful.

    Discussion of some of the Inès de la Fressange for Uniqlo pieces on my blog.

    I was unsure if the Boden affiliate I was working with would issue a 15% off coupon, but I found one this evening. It doesn't take effect till tomorrow,
    but it is in the sidebar of my blog for those of you needing one.

    There is a Boden Icons collection coming out next week, on September 22. It looks very interesting. If you knew the Boden Limited Edition from years ago, it is similar in that it has luxe fabrics and exquisite tailoring, but seems a bit more "edgy/boho." Some of it is lovely, but a few of the pieces are a bit much for me personally.

    I wrote up a post this evening that is set to publish early tomorrow am that discusses both the fall rollout, but also the Boden Icons collection. :-)

      I just tried the coupon at the blog and it isn't working just yet (6:45 am), so I will email the affiliate program as soon as I can, and hopefully they will have a fix. The coupon is good for a while, though.

      DIna. I just got my new Boden catalog today in the mail and there is lots to love! Those ponchos, plaid shawl wraps and the fair isles! Love it.

    I think Anthropologie is offering 20% off your purchase with your Anthro card this weekend.
