J.Crew Email: INSIDER SALE . 20% off your order of $150+. 3 days and online only.

"Thanks!" to many of you, including HeidiG, Athena, Stephanie, Marietta, as well as JBird (in this post), who shared the following email J.Crew sent this morning.

J.Crew is offering 20% off purchases of $150+ with promo code INSIDER. This offer is expires 11/18/09 and is available online only.

Incidentally, this morning the sale section updated with a decent amount of stock, including several pop-backs from last winter. Most of the good stuff is gone now. However, I think the next few weeks there will be a decent sale section as the sale merchandise from brick & mortar (B&M) stores are making its way back to J.Crew's distribution centers.

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

J.Crew Email: Exclusively ours...a vintage-inspired icon. FREE SHIPPING ENDS TODAY.

"Thanks!" to Marietta who shared the following email J.Crew sent this morning.

Similar to the email J.Crew sent in September (refer to "J.Crew Email: Keep time with a classic" post), this email features the Timex Military Watch (Item 10884; $150.00). J.Crew also offers the Solid Watch Strap (Item 19474; $20.00) in a variety of colors including Authentic Red (perfect for the Holidays!)

The email also reminds us that they are offering 20% off select styles of Women's Knits and Tees (click here to shop online). This offer expires today and is available only online.

Lastly, J.Crew is offering free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code 150SHIP. This offer expires today too. Apparently some JCAs have reported being unable to use this code even though they met the requirements. Something to keep in mind when purchasing. If this is the case (the code is not working for you), you should try calling the order in and explaining the situation. The customer service representatives (CSR) should apply the code for you on your order. :)

J.Crew Email: Only one more day. 20% off women's knits & tees + FREE SHIPPING. Online only.

J.Crew sent an email this morning to remind us of their latest promotion. They are offering 20% off select styles of Women's Knits and Tees (click here to shop online). This offer is expires 11/15/09 and is available online only.

From yesterday's "Women's Knits & Tees: Now 20% Off" post, there was a good a discussion about the quality of J.Crew's tees. Although we disagree about the quality & whether the tees are worth the price tag, I think we can almost all agree that we adore the design offerings of their tees. :)

Moreover, J.Crew is offering free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code 150SHIP. This offer expires 11/15/09. On a sad note, it looks like the spree of Facebook free shipping (with no minimum) codes has ended. {sniffle}

Happy {weekend} shopping!

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 in the FALL sale, or to see some new HOLIDAY 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!

Darlings, is it time for a J.Crew coupon code?

On J.Crew's Facebook page (click here to view), J.Crew is offering free shipping (no minimum) with promo code LOVEJCREW. This offer expires 11/13/09.

Did you take advantage of the previous offers? Are you planning to take advantage of this current offer? If so, what items are you planning to get?

P.S. I have noticed that other J.Crew blogs & websites post J.Crew codes & coupons *after* this blog does. If you 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! :)

J.Crew Updates Website With New Arrivals Today!

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Heidi, Wendy & Genny (in this post), Professor (in this post), Christy (in this post), as well as Angela, who let us know that J.Crew updated its website (click here).

There are some new HOLIDAY arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). However, the J.Crew Collection (click here) looks to be about the same.

J.Crew has also provided the latest catalog online (click here to view). :)

It is another destination catalog! Similar to the recent Crewcuts catalog, the Men's & Women's catalog is shot in Chile (South America). Fantastic! {Destination catalogs tend to be my favorite.}

After looking through the catalog, I have to say the pictures themselves are absolutely beautiful. As for the styling, it's all a bit too much when it comes to layering different pieces. Refer to pages 7 and 30 (are those fur-cuffs?) as some examples. Apparently, trouser leg jeans & pants are out too. All I see are toothpick jeans, as well as mini skirts & shorts (because those last two make perfect sense for the snowy winter time).

After looking through the new arrivals, I see lots of items that I am loving! I like the Stripe Asymmetrical Chiffon Bow Pullover (Item 20797; $88.00) as well as the Merino Rose Corsage Scoopneck Sweater (Item 20309; $79.50). Both are cute pieces that I would definitely add to my wardrobe. The super girly side of me loves the Starlight Glitter Ballet Flats (Item 21411; $125.00) too! I saw these in-person and the different size glitter and metallic confetti are absolutely beautiful!

There are also some pieces I am way less excited about. Not feeling the Chiffon Petal Vest (Item 20580; $495.00), in particular. Maybe they are just styling it weird. Although, I do like the tank version of this design (refer to this post and seen in a real-life image here). I am also a bit disappointed about the coat selection. There are some lovely coats being offered, but none that I am loving (like the Bella). This is actually a good thing for my wallet though. :)

Lastly, there are some items I am surprised to see. For example, the Hostess Coasters (Item 20911; $24.50). I am not sure how this ties in with the rest of their product offerings since it is clearly a "home" item. And I cannot forget the J.Crew Scented Candle (item 24962; $28.00)! When did J.Crew become Pottery Barn? {I have a sneaky suspicion that when these items go on major sale I will be the first to buy them! ;) Seriously though, if J.Crew does a home collection now, I would be so all over it!}

Also, "thanks!" to Marietta who let us know about the email J.Crew sent this morning announcing the new arrivals as well as the offer for free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code 150SHIP. This offer expires 11/15/09.

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 today? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)
