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 SPRING sale, or to see some new SPRING 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 Email: FACTORY ONLINE IS OPEN: 40% OFF EVERY ITEM THIS WEEKEND!

"Thanks!" to many of you, including MeganCrew (in this post) & Ketan, who shared the following news from J.Crew this morning.

J.Crew Factory (click here to shop online) is open for the weekend. But wait there's more! Factory items are priced an additional 40% off. This offer is automatically applied (no code needed which is fabulous!) This promotion expires Sunday, March 20, 2011.

As JCAs know... if you live near a Factory Store, check them out first. The B&M Factory Stores tend to have better promotions and sale prices.

What are your thoughts on J.Crew's Factory Spring offerings? Will you check them out?

Madewell Email: The jean scene (plus, 25% off sale items and free shipping)

Don't forget! They are offering 25% off (on sale items) and free shipping (on $100+) with promo code WHYNOT. This offer ends Sunday, March 20, 2011.

Will you be checking out the shoes at Madewell? Are there any items you are interested in getting? If so, please share. :)

J.Crew's Mickey Card {pictures & more!}

As mentioned in yesterday's "J.Crew's Mickey Card {it's back!?!}" post, J.Crew is mailing customers their latest Mickey Card promotion: the "Green Card".

The mailing is a 4 x 9" fold over card. The outside is grey with the following wording: "A Spring Awakening (we have a feeling you're going to like what's inside.)" The inside of the card is a beautiful and bright green, with text about Spring arriving and helping us get into the mood.

As can be seen in the image, the new cards are white. The back of the card reads "Thank you from J.Crew" followed by the fine print:
Offer valid on J.Crew women's and men's in-store purchases only. May not be used at J.Crew Factory stores, jcrew.com, or with phone or catalog purchases. Discount not valid on third-party branded, men's and women's suiting, women's handbags, wedding and crewcuts merchandise. Discount not valid at the J.Crew Bridal Boutique, 769 Madison Avenue, NYC. Offer card must be presented in stores in order to receive discount. 20% discount applies to purchases of $150 or more before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Discount cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other promotions or offers and may not be applied to previous purchases, alterations or gift card purchases. This offer is nontransferable. Offer valid through April 11, 2011. Terms of offer are subject to change.
The fine print contains the usual limitations, although I am surprised to find the suiting and handbags being excluded from the offer, as well as inability to combine with any other promotions.

There is also a line where the customer needs to sign their name. I suspect that customers will need to show some form of ID when using the card (similar to the last Mickey Card sent).

My thoughts on this card? I am happy to see there is an in-store promotion being offered to customers. (Yey J.Crew!) I am also thrilled I got one and relatively early too! However, I am a bit bummed out by the $150 minimum (which seems kind of high to me).

Did you get a card in the mail today? What are your thoughts on this latest version of the Mickey Card?

Extra 25% Off Sale Items + Free Shipping ($100+) at Madewell

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Erika & Desert Flower, who shared the following offer from Madewell this morning.

They are offering 25% off (on sale items) and free shipping (on $100+) with promo code WHYNOT. This offer ends Sunday, March 20, 2011. The fine print includes:
*Offer valid in Madewell stores and at madewell.com only. Offer does not apply to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards. 25% off discount applies to sale items only. Free shipping offer applies to orders shipped via ground shipping totaling $100+ after 25% discount and before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Offer valid through Sunday, 3/20/2011, 11:59pm ET. Savings are applied at checkout with code WHYNOT. Offer not valid on phone orders. Cannot be combined with any other promotion.
What a great promotion! Seriously, Madewell has been running some really great offers recently.

Will you be checking out the sale at Madewell? Are there any items you are interested in getting? If so, please share. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! {celebrating w/ J.Crew?}

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!

I l-o-v-e these types of posts. It is really interesting to hear what other Aficionadas and Aficionados plan on wearing, since it gives me lots of wonderful ideas for future outfits. :) So for this post, what we are planning to wear on Saint Patrick's Day? :)

As for me, I plan to brake out a J.Crew top circa-2007... the Lilah Shirt in Printed Lawn. Similar to Valentine's Day, I will wear a simple white perfect tee cardigan and jeans from J.Crew too.

What are you planning to wear this Saint Patrick's Day? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?
