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 Regent Blazer in Navy

"Thanks!" to many of you who shared the following email with us.

J.Crew announced that they are now offering the Regent Blazer (item B0323; $198.00) in Navy. This jacket is well rated (4.5 out of 5 stars) so I am honestly surprised that this jacket was not already being offered in Navy.

I feel like this is the type of jacket you either love or hate, with no in between. It either looks good on you or it doesn't.

What are your thoughts on the Regent Blazer from J.Crew? Are you excited to see it comes in Navy now?

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 yesterday morning (click here to view online). (Apologies for not posting about this yesterday too. I had the stomach flu and was in bed all day.)

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).

The DECEMBER catalog (click here to view) is up. Wondering if they will put up a new catalog anytime soon...

January is not my favorite month for offerings at J.Crew. J.Crew tends to focus on Spring/Resort wear and I am still stuck on Winter because of where I live. However, the one item that caught my eye is the Layering vest with Primaloft® (item B8448; $98.00). I do love the look of vests!

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? :)
