Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} 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 stopped by a J.Crew store this past weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SUMMER & FALL sale, or to see some new FALL 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 was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

J.Crew News: What's Happening Today? {Friday edition}

As mentioned in an earlier post, I am on vacation! Unfortunately, I won't be able to keep up with all the latest J.Crew news, promos, and the like.

So this post is the "catch all" for J.Crew Aficionadas and Aficionados to share with one another the "current happenings" for today. Feel free to post your comments here- from current J.Crew promotions, sales, emails, and even questions on products (regarding fit & size), and the like. :)

What comments do you want to share or ask of other Aficionadas and Aficionados? What is currently happening (in terms of promos, sales, emails, products, and the like)?

Ends Today: Take an Extra 30% Off Final Sale (& free shipping)

Today is the last day that J.Crew is offering customers 30% off any purchase from their Final Sale {no minimum} and free shipping (over $150 *after* discounts applied) with promo code MUSTHAVE.

From the comments, it seems like this promotion was not what some of us needed to buy those end-of-Summer and just-arrived-Fall must haves. Either the "Final" in Final Sale was too much, or we were all shopped out for Summer. In either case, we are all looking forward to the Fall collection. :)

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion today? Are there any sale items you are interested in getting?

Alexa Chung for Madewell Coming Soon {real soon!}

"Thanks!" to Heidi who shared the following story from the LA Times (click here to read in its entirety):

Shopping: Alexa Chung collection to launch at Madewell stores
The TV host says the clothes are for women her age 'who like to be comfy but also like to look chic' or 'anyone who likes to dabble in hot pants.'
By Emili Vesilind & Max Padilla
September 05, 2010

Like fellow Brits Kate Moss and Sienna Miller before her, model and TV host Alexa Chung is known as much for her enviable personal style as she is for her professional accomplishments. And her penchant for boyish, effortless-looking getups makes her a fitting collaborator for Madewell, a brand steeped in classic casual clothes tweaked slightly for the trendy set.

The British beauty has teamed up with the niche fashion retailer for a capsule collection launching Saturday in all Madewell stores.

The cutesy-cool line, which is heavy on hot pants, easy-fitting dresses and super-skinny jeans, looks like it could have been pulled directly from Chung's closet. "Madewell totally got my aesthetic," she said. "They're also a brand that's in keeping with my tomboy, comfortable style."

The collaboration between Alexa Chung and Madewell has been discussed a few times on the blog (refer here). I will say that although I am not her "target demographic", there are a few pieces that look quite lovely for me. :)

Are you excited about Alexa Chung's collection over at Madewell? Are there any pieces you are interested in? :)

Evening of Shopping and Cocktail with Jenna

"Thanks!" to Chanie and Yossi (in this post) who shared with us the following shopping event.

Party On...
Join J.Crew & Jenna Lyons, our creative director, for an evening of shopping and cocktails in celebration of Fashion's Night Out 2010.

Shop the new collection & meet Jenna (and get the inside scoop on her inspiration for Fall).

Friday, September 10th, 7-9PM

J.Crew
99 Prince Street
NYC

Receive a special gift with a purchase of $150 or more.

I have no doubt that the gift being offered will be spectacular since Jenna Lyons will be present. (Unlike the last gift for $150+.) If I could make it, I would go just for that! ;)

Congrats to all those in the area!

Darlings, is it time for a coupon code?

A big "thanks!" to Lia who is super nice to share with us that J.Crew is offering free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code GYA8VH. This offer expires 9/13/10.

P.S. I have noticed that other blogs & websites post J.Crew codes & coupons *after* this blog does. If you happen to get codes & coupons from the JCA blog & post them at your site, could you please give give a "shout out" to the JCA blog? This way more JCAs are inclined to share. TIA! :)

P.S. I swear I will stop checking this blog soon as I still need to pack! ;)
