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's Mickey Drexler: On Customers and Caffè Americano

"Thanks!" to  many of you, who shared the following email & news from J.Crew.

J.Crew's CEO extraordinaire Mickey Drexler sent an email to customers this weekend reminding customers that they are getting back to the "old J.Crew" in terms of quality meets style.

J.Crew had lost its pep in its step for awhile. With multiple store closings and some losses on their books, they have been trying to go back to "what works" best for them. They have been employing this new/old strategy for awhile now. But are customers buying it? Mickey likes to think so! ;)

What are your thoughts on Mickey's personal note to customers? Do you think J.Crew is back? Do you think they never left their "classics with a twist" ways? Please share!

Celebrate Earth Day with J.Crew!

"Thanks!" to  many of you, who shared the following email & promotion.

J.Crew is offering to donate a portion of select in-store sales to Xerces Society. Plus, they are giving away a candle with any purchase of $150 or more in store. The following is the fine print:
*Donation amount will be between 5% and 15% of the total sales at select stores on April 22, 2016, after a minimum sales threshold is reached. 

**Offer valid in select J.Crew stores on April 22, 2016, on purchases of $150 or more before taxes are added, while supplies last. Limit one gift per customer. 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. Gift items cannot be returned or exchanged.

No clue how to find out which stores are participating without calling them individually. And no clue what the minimum sales threshold reached is. Odd right?

The Great (Weekly) Exchange {looking to sell}

This post (of weekly posts) is for individual members who want to swap/sell/share among yourselves. This post is where you can mention your items and outside listing/ auction site (like eBay and eCrater & the corresponding user ID).


Please note: this posting is not for resellers, retailers or businesses. If you are a reseller, retailer, or a business, your comment gets automatically deleted & you will get publicly called out on it. :( So instead of this, simply do not post in the Weekly Exchanges. Thanks in advance for your cooperation! :)


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. (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. :)
