J.Crew Email: New, new, new. Come see our new styles in final sale (plus, FREE SHIPPING).

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Marietta, who let us know about J.Crew's latest email.

J.Crew is announcing that even more new styles have been added to their Final Sale (click here to shop online)! Moreover, some of the items have been reduced in price! {Yey!} This offer also extends to brick & mortar stores. (Incidentally, doesn't if feel like another percent off sale will be happening soon?)

They are also reminding us about their offer for 20% off on select full-priced Women's pants & denim (click here & here to shop online). Lastly, J.Crew is providing free shipping (on $100+) with promo code SHIP100. Both of these offers are good until the end of today.

Will you be checking out the Final Sale? Any new styles interest you? If so, please share! :)

  1. I addicted so I'll check out the "new new styles." Has anyone ordered any pants on the promo?

  2. I thought it was odd that the black icon trench was in FS ($199.99, only sizes 12 and 14). I just figured that was a piece that would never go on sale!

    I wonder if the Bettina's will finally start to move now that they're down to $19.99. There are two items that I've previously tried on that I might bite on, but only if there is an additional % offered.

  3. I was up for a 4am telecon and noticed there were a lot of items added to FS but nothing I added to my cart. I managed to snag the ripstop field jacket and gingham Olivia shift when they popped back in my size on Monday so I am happy about that.

    I usually have a mock cart in IE fully loaded as my wishlist (and I shop from Firefox), but there is only one thing in there now and it is not FS so I'm waiting for the pants promo to end and see if a new promo applies. If not I'll likely succumb and buy it at full price.

  4. silver_lining, I was surprised to see the Icon in FS as well. I thought it was one of their staple pieces and would never go on sale. It's a great trench, I highly recommend it to any JCAs who may be considering it. One of their well-made classics and a good buy at that price.

  5. Lizzy I ordered the Elans but they have not arrived yet. I might stop by JC since slim fitting pants need to be tried on as the cuts can be different in the same size and color.

  6. Ordered the Elan cupro trousers, for the second time around...hopefully these will actually get shipped. Ordering popbacks is usually emotionally traumatic, but I still do it to myself. Crossing my fingers...

    ReplyDelete
  7. The sequin peekaboo cardigan is marked down to $29.99 but it's still $49.99 in stores. I hate the price discrepancies!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Agree with Alexis, I feel a % off promo is coming. I feel it in my bones! (: I've got my eye on a little sum-sum but I'm holding off until then. C'mon, 30!!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. silver_lining - I saw the Bettina camis at the B&M and decided to try it on. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. The colors are perfect for fall and some may even work for next spring. When I saw that they were $19.99 this morning I couldn't resist and picked another one up in dried rose. I would really recommend these. They fit TTS. I'm btw a 2 and a 4 and I got these in a 4.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ah, a few items from FS I want, but trying to hold off til a % off promo as well. I can't believe the chiffon cecilia cami is already on sale!! Did it not come out in the latest rollout less than a week ago?!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I was going to ask if anyone tried to use their 25% off card in store on the 20% jeans/pant sale, but I just checked the website and was horrified by the denim selection.

    Am I missing something, or is JCrew currently offering a bunch of skinny and toothpick jeans, denim leggings and just one pair of $242 jeans that aren't skinny?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I saw this morning that the sequin strip tank is down to $9.99, and the pastice and impressionist floral pencil skirts are also back in a few sizes. Not sure I'm getting anything, though. Happy shopping!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I bit on a couple of the petite Bettina camis, at $19.99 it was too good to pass up. I had the b&m place the chiffon cecilia cami on hold for me, I'm going to use my 25% off card on that one. I, too, am surprised that this has gone on sale so quickly. I had no intention of buying this FP, but sale + discount = definite buy!

    ReplyDelete
  14. has anyone tried the matchstick jeans in "lived in" wash? just wondering if they're running TTS compared to recent matchsticks. i might want to try them b4 the promo ends. TIA! :)

    as for final sale, no way...i never buy final sale unless i'm sure something's going to fit me (i.e. i've tried it before) or it's so cheap that i can eat the cost if it doesn't work. ;)

    also wondering if anyone on the west coast has received a "red card" yet. none for me (yet?) :(

    ReplyDelete
  15. ccbmum - No red card for me and we're in the same area. I will get out the Puffs if it doesn't arrive by Friday.

    Michelle - I know, it feels irritating. I am not surprised that the peekaboo is not lower in-store. However, that would not stop me from taking it up to the register to check if I didn't already own it. Sometimes the stores miss items and I've hit that retail lottery a number of times.

    xoxo - I have my carts set up the same. *lol*

    A pants post is up w/irl pics and/or links to irl pics. I tried to discern new markdown info as well. Click here to check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks for the heads up. A shirt I ordered, scheduled to arrive today is now on sale so I just called and got the price adjustment on it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The speed at which new items are getting marked down is insane! I'll probably mosey on over to a B&M to check out their sale section but online FS shopping is out of the question for sure, especially on items I haven't even freakin' seen in person yet bc they're so new.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow, the Bettina cami is at a really good price! I may hold out until this weekend to see if a % off comes our way, but will definitely get a couple more in the navy and white versions.

    For those of you interested, here are my posts on the Bettina. I am a fan!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Also, for those of you looking at the Stretch double-serge pencil skirts, size down! I got both the mink and black, in sizes 2 and 4, respectively, since I wasn't sure which size I'd wear. The sz 2 is a much better fit. I can still wear the 4, but it's significantly looser (if anyone wants my size 4 black, let me know :) )

    ReplyDelete
  20. I lost my will and caved for a Frances cami in Bronzed Avocado in my size this morning. Hopefully this popback will ship :) Still waiting for the Zip-Side sweatshirt in the dark color to go on sale soon...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I finally got the red card in the mail today! (actually, it's white with red letters...) Am I the last one to get this? Wouldn't surprise me, as I always get the catalogues long after everybody else. Thanks, JCrew!

    ReplyDelete
  22. JCK -- yes, you're missing something. There are still trouser jeans, bootcut jeans, and "vintage slim" that are not slim at all!

    Click "denim" on the left, under Shop By Category

    ReplyDelete
  23. I am waiting for extra % off since I still haven't received my red card and I'm with Gigi, I'll bring out my kleenex if I don't get one by this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  24. jcrewphd: I have my box of Puffs ready, too! Seriously, I am such a J Crew geek that my heart starts racing as I'm opening the mailbox. Going to be crushed, just crushed if I don't get one because that means no J Crew shopping for me. Fingers crossed for all of us!

    ReplyDelete
  25. OT - I didn't shop @ J Crew when the last red cards were sent. Does anyone know how they are selected? Is it random?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Heidi - I totally agree with you, I'm fine paying $20 for the Bettinas (I have free shipping on my account as well). Since the chiffon cecilia cami is $79.99 FS online (too expensive for FS, plus I haven't tried this on yet), I am picking it up at the b&m, where I can use my 25% card, and it's not FS.

    ReplyDelete
  27. SallyO: congrats on the red card! :) You're not the last one to get one i hope! out here on the west coast we get everything a few (or more) days later....so i think that i, gigi and other west coasters are still holding out hope! but like gigi and jcrewphd, my tissues are ready if there isn't one in my mailbox by this weekend! :(

  28. Hi--I just got my 25% off card today -- I am in Northern VA.

    Hope more people get theirs today/soon!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ahh, I feel much better now. I'm on the East Coast and received my redcard today. I must not have been paying attention...I thought it applied to internet orders too but see it's strictly for the b&m. Thank you JCrew!

    Pass for me. I'm not risking unfamiliar FS items anymore. I have contemplated a few items but decided against it as I am also trying to build my wardrobe full of 'love' items & not just add to my existing take it or leave it pile.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I also think there must be a % off coming soon...at least in the B&M's since their sale sections are overflowing.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Red cards, red cards everywhere and not one card for me! *cries in corner*

    ReplyDelete
  32. Purhcased about 5 t-shirts and a darling belted sweater a few weeks back. I couldn't resist this sale when I saw the Bettina tops. bought two; the spicy russet and white ash. I also picked up the Pippy top in dark rosewood...and a few other things.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Should I assume I'm not getting a red card if I live in Ohio and I already got today's mail and there was nada? *CRY* Did I mention I'm super bummed out?

    Also, got 2 things in the mail today. The heathered lumiere cardi in the driftwood color. OMG, LOVE! You other JCA's convinced me to give it a try w/your raves. I wouldn't have given it a second glance otherwise. Wow, you were all right! Love you girls! But, I also got he eyelet bow blouse that's on the front page of this blog. Are the bow straps supposed to be different lenghts? One is significantly longer than the other? Defect? Or is that the way they come? I'm having trouble getting it to lay right, so sadly, it may have to go back b/c otherwise it'd be super cute.

  34. Hi! This is OT, but I saw an Astrid floral serge jacket (style 99457) in persimmon on Ebay in size 4 with a starting bid price of $24.99. Not my listing, but others may be interested.

  35. This is OT: does anyone own the Tessa sweater jacket from 2008? I'm looking at it on eBay but am trying to get a fix on the real color: Honey glaze? Bright Citron? Spicy Mustard? Any comments on color and texture would be most welcome. TIA.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I am in the NE and just got the Mickey card today too. I am eyeing a few items in the October catalog, but nothing FS.

    ReplyDelete
  37. No red card and I'm in Pacific NW (if us west coast peeps are tracking)...did break down and get the Bettina in the warm taupe because they were down to 3 in my size and I wanted to use my much-appreciated free shipping.

    Hexicon: I have a couple of honey glaze items from the Crew around that time frame and the auction color doesn't quite look as deep. I'm thinking it must be a citron?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Jruby-The ties on the eyelet bow tie blouse are two different lengths.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hexicon -- the color of the Tessa is a true yellow, a shade or two brighter than honey glaze. But it's definitely not a citron, my citron items are a lot more neon-y. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm in Maryland and got my red card today! Got a return to make so I'll visit this weekend and see if there's anything. Just wish they'd sell tall sizes at the B&M so I could really put this card to good use. Oh well, the arrow sweater (name??) Is lookin' kinda good and maybe a pretty top...

    ReplyDelete
  41. ReginaO: congrats on the red card! i think that the red card might be good for in-store red phone orders too (from what i remember)? you should definitely ask so you can order your tall sizes. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Fidele,

    Thank you! Ooops, silly me, I must've clicked on denim under "New Arrivals" and panicked when I thought skinny jeans were my only option.

    ReplyDelete
  43. A few of the items I'm watching got another markdown today, but I'm waiting to see if we get an extra % off sale. I'm in SC and still no red card. :( I did get the new catalog yesterday, which is later than most, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the red card. I'll join the others that will be crying if I don't have one by Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Can anyone comment on the sizing for the sequin cami? I am usually a small in the perfect fit cami, and am worried about getting too big b/c I don't like the super scoop necks, especially as they stretch as you wear them and I constantly have to pull them up. I'm debating the XS or the S.

    ReplyDelete
  45. math teacher: I also got the catalog yesterday but not a red card...maybe the Carolinas are behind? Fingers crossed...

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks IRL. Guess I just have to fuss w/it a bit to get it to lay right. I really like it, so I'm glad it isn't a defect.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Can anyone comment on the fit of the Pippy top? I wonder if I should size down since it looks boxy on the model picture. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I'm in CA and I got my redcard (20%) in my catalog on Monday. Still holding out hope for the rest of you through! :(

    ReplyDelete
  49. Can anyone comment on the fit of the boyfriend shorts?
    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I got my red card today. Yeah! I live on the East Coast.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I noticed that Palmilla lace pencil skirt is marked down as of today in B&M for $99.99. It's still $178 online. If you score it in store with the 25% card as well, you can get it at a steal for $75. It's really a gorgeous skirt.

    ReplyDelete
  52. OT - I have a one-time use $25 off $100 or more at Hayden-Harnett, good until October 1. If someone is interested shoot me an email.

  53. I got the red card today:) I honestly don't know if I will use it or not. I don't know if I will make it to a store by the expiration date! Glad to have received it though just in case...

    ReplyDelete
  54. charlotte, are you talking about the sequin strip tank? the scoop is low and straps are super long on that one, so i would size down.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I got a red card today as well, live in the west. Unfortunately my b&m's aren't that great, I really wish I could use it for the rhodie satchel, but they don't carry shoes or bags. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something...

  57. Does anyone have the breezy dot tie-front tank (the swimsuit)? I've wanted it forever but I keep holding out for a sale and the last time there was an additional 30% off they sold out of my size.


    I'm also thinking about the bettina cami, I have the alpansia swiss dot blouse in a size 2 and was thinking to get a size 2 in the bettina as well.

    Also does anyone have the microspun pocket tank? It looks like it would be really soft and seems a bit loose fitting so I was thinking an xs would be fine.

    ReplyDelete
  58. got my redcard today and love in northern va. also interested in microspun tank sizing. almost all of my jcrew tanks have run way big this summer, but i read this was tts. help!!! i

    ReplyDelete
  59. AppGal: How would you describe the color of the Mink double serge skirt? It looks intriguing online, sort of a milk chocolate-y brown, but my monitor may be off. TIA for any help you can provide!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm confused on the red card, is it coming in the catalog, separately on it's own, or both? I received my catalog but only with a 20% off coupon that expired Oct 3rd...sad face

    ReplyDelete
  61. jcrewphd: I just bought the pippy top in dark rosewood and I love it--especially the detailing on the sleeves. It is a boxier fit but the armholes aren't generously cut so that may be compromised if you size down.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I have no self-discipline and bought the island pocket paisley cardigan ($29.99) and the tux henley in black ($14.99).

    My credit cards officially hate me.

    ReplyDelete
  63. No red card yet for me, but still hoping in the Pacific Northwest . . .

    ReplyDelete
  64. CrewBanana, it's not October 3 yet, your 20% off coupon should be valid for a while yet. Unless you meant September 3, but that should not be the case for the October catalog.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Beth, I would take your normal size for the Microspun tank. I just got one today and tried on both the XS (the tank size I've been buying all summer) and the S. The XS fit but was definitely snug, so I went for the S because I wanted something slightly drapey. I don't think it's cut super generously like some of the other tanks we've seen recently. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Has anyone seen or tried on the merino coquette sweater that's now final sale ? I'm interested in the bronzed twig color since I don't own anything in that color. Seems like there was an update overnight but mostly summer stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  67. opheliasmom: I would describe it as a dark, mushroomy brown. It's not "chocolatey" really...it's a perfect neutral, I think. It's really hard to describe, but I was very pleased with it. I was wanting a brown pencil skirt...not light khaki and not chocolate brown, and this falls perfectly in between. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Thanks Andrea for the tank info. and Crewbanana- the 25% off red card comes on its own in a postcard style package (not in the catalog) and is good for instore only. Still curious about using the redphone with it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Okay, um. Am I the only one that saw the Chiffon Cecelia Cami on sale (in spicy olive) on sale yesterday?

    http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtstops/camis/PRDOVR~29213/99102076369/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~cecelia/29213.jsp

    I ordered it Sunday, emailed J Crew for a price adjustment since it was already on sale, and they emailed back this morning saying it wasn't on sale. Sure enough, when I went to look, it's back up to full price.

    SO confused! Just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one that saw that?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Chloe- was checking markdowns last night and the chiffon cecelia cami was definitely on sale last night. I saw it too!!! talk to cs.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Chloe, I saw it too. It's also marked down in stores to 79.99.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Chloe: I saw it marked down yesterday morning to $79.99 online. JC put it back up to full price. Oh well, I will have to get it once it goes on sale again. Dirty games JC plays.

    ReplyDelete
  73. THANK YOU. I do so much scouring the web, just wanted to make sure I didn't imagine it!

    In the email back this morning they only said "to clarify, it isn't on sale online"- nothing about "oops, our bad, we made a mistake!" so then I thought huh. Maybe I imagined that? Inhaled too many paint fumes from our home remodel? The girls on J Crew Aficionadas will know!

    Just kind of wish they would have admitted to the one day sale price instead of making me feel like a bit of a loon. I never expect price adjustments when I buy something, so no biggie, but nothing wrong with admitting mistakes either, J Crew. We all make 'em. ;)

    I'll try to hit up the store this weekend to see if I can find one on sale, and send my FP one (which I haven't even received yet, of course) back... *shrugs*

    ReplyDelete
  74. Chloe - it was definitely on sale for $79.99 online and in the b&m's yesterday. I tracked my size down and picked it up yesterday in the b&m, used the 25% card, which came out to a steal at $59.99. I can't believe it's back to FP online! Have them search for your size in store, and pick it up for the sale price. I would return the FP one, just on principal alone....

    ReplyDelete
  75. Chloe - I totally forgot.... I had printed a screen shot of the cecilia cami on sale from online yesterday, to bring with me to the b&m in case it wasn't priced down in the stores yet, to have them price match. I found it in my purse just now, it is definite proof that it was on sale yesterday! Should email a copy of it to JC and question the FP today.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Well, no tissues needed for me - my 25% card came today. :) There is still hope for those who haven't received one yet.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I was SHOCKED to receive the promo card in the mail today but guess what... I'll probably head to the store tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete
  78. @Michelle: Thank you for the sizing comment. That dark rosewood color is so pretty.
