After hearing many legends of JCrew shoes at TJMaxx over the last week, I had a hunch that I might find some stock at Jeremy's. How do I describe Jeremy's? Its like a designer overstock store, and the one near me in the Bay Area has just a CRAZY amount of JCrew merch. When I first went in there I almost hyperventilated with how much stuff was there. Since then, I have taught myself to look for only things I really wanted but missed. Sometimes the stuff is a floor model, so you have to look carefully.
With this in mind, I headed to the shoe section--sure enough, BOONDOGGLE. They had Lulus, Juliets, Alessia, a few Penelopes, botos, ah ah AH! Calm, Liz. Any way, I tried on about 5 pairs, and here is the verdict:
- Blush Pointy Pumps--too much toe cleavage and pinchy
- Cloud Lulus Peeptoes--too much like my silver metallic pumps
- Burnt Sienna Lulu Peeptoes--wasn't hooked
- Bronze Driving Mocs--one of the feet felt tight, wasn't sure
- Gunmetal Lulu Flats--The bow was almost a brown satin--loved these
- Juliet Pump in Blanched Almond--shown above, liked! I feel like this is a new kind of shoe for me so an adventure
If anyone is really desperate for a JCrew show that I can look for for you, and you are interested at the $50 range, please let me know, I am MORE than happy to be a personal shopper for readers!
A few more pics, and to show the prices and how Jeremy's shoes look.
Ooooo, I am envious!! Those Lulus look really cute - and great price!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. I am definitely looking for the following all in size 9.5: Lulu heels (any color other than yellow and metalic); Lulu flats (any color); Juliet midheels(any color + serengeti); Trixies or other patterned pumps. Please email me with terms and conditions at laleh000@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteTIA.
that's remarkable! I'm so jealous. If you see the juliets in 10-11 please let me know.

Wow! Great finds! Are you referring to the Jeremy's in SF or Berkeley? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOooo! Great find! Are there any more of those flats in 8.5???
ReplyDeletehi, it would be awesome if you could pick up some lulu peep toes for me in size 6 (if they're available of course). I'm looking for the metallic ones and also a pair of the honey glaze or burnt sienna. Whatever you can find!

ooh, nice! I picked up dark cloud lulus in 6.5 (heels and flats) way back in the fall when they were still $150 online - love them to pieces. They were the only lulus they had and in my size : ) Didn't know they got more lulus in!
