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 take advantage of using your Red Card, to see what's available in the Spring Sale, or to see some new Spring arrivals 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!

Jenna Lyons' "My Stuff" In Vanity Fair

A big "thanks!" to Doug who not only shared but also scanned an article in the recent Vanity Fair magazine (page 64 in the May 2009 edition), which features J.Crew's Jenna Lyons.

When you click on the image above (or here), you can read more about Jenna's "favorite things" when it comes to beauty products, home, clothes, & inspirations.

Also, there is a brief intro that reads: "Jenna Lyons, J.Crew's creative director, has transformed the company's image by infusing preppy basics with retro glamour and fashion-forward design. She has also launched their granny-chic jewelry line and seasonal collections of limited-edition pieces."

Is it just me, or is there a lot "goin' on" with these two sentences in terms of descriptions (e.g. retro glamour and fashion forward)? And what does "granny-chic" really mean? ;)

What are your thoughts on the brief intro? Do you think it describes Jenna Lyon's contributions to J.Crew accurately? Also, what do you think of her selections as favorite things?

J.Crew Email: Say "I do" at J.Crew...

"Thanks!" to Julie who shared with us an email J.Crew sent on Friday. (I didn't get this email either. So I really appreciate Julie sharing it with us. I wonder, how does one sign up to receive all emails?) ;)

The email lets us know that J.Crew will have some of their wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses available to preview at select J.Crew locations. (This news was also mentioned in a previous post, "J.Crew Wedding Trunk Show & More!"). To view which stores might carry select pieces pertaining to the wedding collection, go to the "Store Locator" page (click here), where there is a new category in the key called "wedding collection preview".

Calling All San Francisco, CA Area JCAs!

"Thanks!" to Ms. Mer (please check out her great blog here!) who has shared with us some great news! She has set up an event for JCAs in the San Francisco, California Area with a private shopper at the J.Crew located in the Westfield Mall.

The following details are also available at her blog post about this {fantastic} event (click here):

Who: JCrew Aficionados/as, of course (all levels welcome, hehe)

Where: Westfield Mall JCrew (preparty at Zazil)

When: Saturday, April 18. Preparty is at 7:00pm at Zazil in the mall, JCrew party at 8:30

The plan is to meet up, get a drink and a snack at Zazil (fuel for shopping!) and get to know each other, and then head on over to JCrew to be there at 8:30. You can always just show up at JC if you can't make it for the preparty. I would just love to know how many people will make it to either/both, so I can make reservations at Zazil, and let my personal shopper know how many ladies will be invading JCrew so they can have enough staff on hand. They can also provide refreshments/snacks if I request... right now I think we'll only need refreshments since we'll eat beforehand.

So if you are in the area and interested in attending, please RSVP by sending an email to: maugust (at) gmail (dot) com. Also, please RSVP before Wednesday, April 15th.

P.S. I have said this before, and I will say it again: I love love love hearing about these events! They are just too fabulous for words! :)
