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 SALE, or to see some NEW 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 had an update to its website (click here to view online) with some new items. 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). J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

J.Crew is also offering customers to take an additional 40-60% off sale with promo code SHOPNOW. This offer expires January 31, 2016. Plus they are offering free shipping on all orders. This offer expires today. The fine print includes:
*40% discount valid on the purchase of select final sale items in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from January 26, 2016, 12:01am ET through January 31, 2016, 11:59pm ET.

Not going to lie, I did make a few purchases this morning without realizing new arrivals were here. ;)

I did get the latest catalog in the mail yesterday so I should have known new arrivals were around the corner. What I enjoyed was that J.Crew was making a real effort to go "back to basics" and get back to what they do best. The question lies... do customers believe them anymore.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

Madewell Updates Website with New Arrivals!

"Thanks!" to  many of you, who shared the following email from Madewell.

Madewell let us know that there are new arrivals over at their stores and online (click here to shop online).

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. (Refer to "A Quick Note to J.Crew Aficionadas" post.)

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. :)
