The technical details on this amazing gift:
Simple to use—just enter the below code, BIRTHDAY, during checkout. We simply ask that this code only be used on current orders, it is not applicable to previous purchases made and it cant be combined with any other offer. Expires 12am EST on May 13th, 2010.I am really touched by how generous this gesture is. ("Thank you!" J.Crew & J.Crew's Tracy Crane!!!) I am also ecstatic about this offer and can't wait to load up my shopping cart full of J.Crew goodies.
Will you be taking advantage of this one-day-offer from J.Crew? If so, please share what "birthday presents" you got! ;)
Yay, Alexis, I think it's wonderful that JC has acknowledged you and your wonderful blog in this way..... well deserved, and thank you for sharing the coupon with us! I just placed an order ;-)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Thank you Alexis & J.Crew!!
ReplyDeleteI bought the vintage bateau top in dark pewter, Black Minnies, Cotton Check shirt in light slate, The breezy ruffle dot bikini in navy and the perfect fit boat neck tee in honey! I got everything on my wishlist!!

ReplyDeletei'm still shopping but i wanted to try the code to make sure it works -- it applied the discount and took off the shipping :)! hooray!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, thank you so much for this blog. You have created a great community and I love visiting everyday! Thank you also for sharing the code. I just ordered the white eyelet pencil skirt and I have you to thank for it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gesture! Well-deserved. Happy (belated) blog b'day, Alexis!
ReplyDeleteIf you have trouble with the shipping, call CS. When I was online, the 15% came off my order but not the shipping. I called CS and by the second time I called they seemed to have it figured out. She took the order over the phone and it all went swimmingly!!!! She did say they had a bunch of calls from people having trouble. Go to bed, JCA's.... it's late!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on turning two! Alexis, thank you for hosting this amazing blog.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant I just placed an order and the promo worked!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis and JCA!
Happy Birthday JCA! I nearly cried when I read the news! What a great gift from J.Crew and wonderful acknowledgment of the awesome work you do here! Here's to many more years!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis!!! :)
ReplyDelete20% shorts and fs this am.
ReplyDeleteYay Alexis your blog finally got the recognition that you deserved.
Thanks for the code I used it this am on another pair of Safari pants I know I said the back pockets were too big but when I received my Pearl ones I really thought the pants were flattering to my figure and I really wanted to use this code to show support to this community.
I placed an order of an item I had been stalking, a pair of shorts, and a skirt that I'm willing to try given the jca promo. Thanks, Alexis!
ReplyDeleteI totally am! Thank you so much Alexis for continuing to host this wonderful site. It's a one stop shop for all that is J.Crew. It's also a wonderful place to meet and "speak" with other like minded individuals who have the same passion for the brand.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you to J.Crew for acknowledging Alexis and the site. It's because we love the brand that we are here and it's nice to know you recognize that.
I cannot wait to place an order!!!
Thanks again!!!
OMG! I die! I die for you! And for all of us, as our most favorite wish has come true! Discount AND free ship w/no minimum! The retail gods have smiled upon us!
ReplyDeleteHmm, what to buy, what to buy. Most go browse. Maybe the Vista print bikini, maybe more CrewCuts tees for my boy!
Thanks for the awesome news and congrats on the recognition! It's long overdue -- but it gives me hope, as maybe the corporate peeps are listening to some of the things you and the rest of us are saying. :-)
EPIC WIN!
Elaine
Gosh darn it, J.Crew. I had sworn off you this month! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, thanks, J.Crew!
YEAH! Score - one palmera cami for moi and a pair of shorts for the hubby.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much again, both to Alexis and to J.Crew! I just placed my order. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome! thanks Alexis and thanks J.Crew!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis and thank you for sharing this great birthday present with all of us!
ReplyDeleteNothing for me (I shopped a lot recently) but I placed a big order for my husband (two blazers ad two pairs of pants), that is going to be a first!
Congrats Alexis! :)
ReplyDeleteI will probably pass on this just because I just ordered some stuff and I already get 15% off student discount and my PS typically waives shipping.
Thanks for all your work Alexis. I just used the code to get a Tailored Linen Piper Jacket :-)
ReplyDeleteI also had previously decided not to buy, but I wanted to show my appreciation to Alexis and JC and use the code, so I made a small accessory purchase this morning. How great that the 15% and FS works on sale items!!!
ReplyDeleteLike us all, I am very grateful to you, Alexis, for all of your hard work in maintaining this fabulous blog, and to JCrew for recognizing and supporting its fans!
Happy shopping to all!
I'm tempted to try the Studio Blazer. Does anyone have any feedback? Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAnd to JC: thank you for offering this great promo and thank you for no minimums!!
I dont know if anyone mentioned this yet... but since the shorts/flip flops promo doesnt require a code, you can use the Birthday Code for another 15% off on top of that!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alexis and J. Crew!
ReplyDeleteAnd to top it off, looks like there's been a light update to the sale section too - the dotted playa dress I had been eyeballing is now on sale, yay!
This is so exciting! What a great gesture by J.Crew to recognize all the work you do :) Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI got the Timex watch and a couple bands with the code.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your work maintaining this blog! I love it!
that's so cool! i am definitely going to place an order. thank you!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, this promotion is so awesome! It's great that you're getting recognition from J Crew :)
ReplyDeleteI'm taking advantage of this code to pick up some shirts for me and my little one, as well as the Schuyler dress, which I've had my eye on for a while. Yay!
How fabulous! Thank you so much Alexis and J.Crew!
ReplyDeletelurker until now...just got a couple shirts and cardigans...love it, thanks!
ReplyDeletei picked up the pale cinnabar shorts and a new black jackie
ReplyDeletethanks for everything JCAs!
This is wonderful! I just purchased some swimwear and thanks to your coupon I'll be able to have some fruity drinks on the beach! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWow! So cool and on top of the shorts & flip-flops promo! Way to go Alexis, now just get yourself the paperbag so you can keep the blog going! :)
ReplyDeleteHBD! That is grand that you've been so nicely recognized by J.crew.
ReplyDeleteOrdered a bunch of flip flops, received an extra discount on top of the sale price.
I just placed my order! Thanks so much! You totally deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI got the Elan trousers (another pair in a smaller size) and 2 monogramed polos for my hubby. The scarf I wanted disappeared from my cart so I'll have to get that later!
congrats & happy blogoversary, Alexis! I just made a big order to show some support : ) - it's so awesome to have your own code!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist... I got a sale tank and a Crewcuts classroom cardigan to see if I can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Couldn't resist taking advantage of this code. It was such a nice gesture on j.crew's part. I got another pair of the ultra-knit lounge pants (sooo comfy!) and my first embossed beach dress EVER! I'm late to the game on that one...hope I'm not disappointed! I was *thisclose* to getting the knit racerback gown but after reading some reviews, felt like it would be waay too long on my 5'6" self. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for a promotion to try the bistro pants. BR is apparently discontinuing their Jackson fit, so I need to find an alternative to my beloved BR stretch cotton trousers. I don't usually like how JC pants fit me, but I tried these on in-store a few weeks ago in one size too small (they didn't have my size in stock) and the stretch fabric was surprisingly forgiving.
ReplyDeleteI also ordered one jackie cardigan from the sale section. I considered ordering a couple full price jackies, but I decided to wait for a LE Canvas promotion and buy the heritage cardis instead.
I ordered a bunch of stuff for myself, the kids, and some polo shirts for hubby.
ReplyDeleteAlexis, thanks again for this wonderful blog. It really is a nice gesture from J.Crew!
I've already spent too much at JCrew this month, but I bought a pair of shorts (luxe terry bloomer shorts in faded black) in support of you Alexis and this wonderful blog! Happy BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone comment on the Drawstring deux pant item 23859? I've been watching them for a while and cobblestone is finally back in my size. I'm going to order them instead of waiting but was wondering since they appear to be so popular. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! Alexis, I'm so glad they finally gave you some recognition--you deserve it! All your hard work is truly appreciated, even without the discount (although that's nice, too) :)
ReplyDeleteWoW -- you and J. Crew have made my day AND my belated Mother's Day!! I've been eyeing the crystal devote earrings and the Martha bracelet, and now I was able to get both! Thank you, and happy, happy anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteAlexis,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We obviously enjoy your work and happily J Crew does too!
Thank you--and for the discount. I finally pulled the trigger on the Martha necklace!
Best,
M
Happy birthday, Alexis, and thanks! What a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting:
Studio blazer, Zoey blazer in slate, Crystal cascade ribbon necklace, and Neon necklace!
Kristin, you can see I'm going for the studio blazer, too. It's not final sale, so it will be returnable . . .
thanks to J. Crew for this, too.
Thank you Alexis for all your hard work! I'm glad they're paying attention!
ReplyDeleteBit on the lieutenant jacket....been wanting it for a while, but I really didn't need to spend any more this month!
How awesome that JC recognized this important milestone! I definitely took advantage of this offer using my $25 rewards card!! I got the Canterbury bells skirt, white victoria ruffle cami, and a pair of "critter" flip flops!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, thank you for all the time you spend here on your blog! it is an awesome resource! :)
Yea-I bought the ruched bandeau top and glamour girl bikini bottoms in blue sapphire! This was a major splurge for me because I usually buy cheap swimsuits from Target...not to mention having to pay shipping. So I was ecstatic to use the code-thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteYeaaaaa! Went to use the code on a Forever Cardigan and saw that it was already reduced, plus got the 15% more off! Great deal!
ReplyDeleteO/t but in case anyone is considering ordering it, the
ReplyDeleteTissue flutter tank, Item 26315, is a miss for me. I ordered my regular size small. It fits tts but I don't care for the 'flutter' hanging out and down from my left breast (which is small so can't imagine it on a fuller chest size). Sorry, but it reminds me of a beard. I tried tucking the 'flutter' into the self-tie belt but the belt sits too low to and if I tie it higher it's too high. It's also very, very thin as expected which is why I ordered it for summer. Not for me even at $9.99 fs price (my own personal reminder in case I'm tempted).
On a positive note, the Sequin-stripe henley tank does not disappoint...
Congratulations Alexis and thank you for making the special code possible.
ReplyDeleteOT - I am looking at the Palisade cardigan. Has anyone tried it?
What a fun day for all of us: yay!
ReplyDeleteI ordered that GIANT crystal necklace for myself, and some shirts, pants and a summer sportcoat for my DH. Great code, great recognition for you Alexis! Well deserved.
Have fun shopping!
Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL blog and even better coupon code! Got the tretorn metallic gold sneaks! Can't wait to wear them! Thank you so much and don't ever stop writing the blog!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it would be rude not to accept such a generous gift ;)
ReplyDeleteI ordered the Silk Cargo Dress and Vintage Slub Polo...anyone have reviews on this dress by chance?
Thanks Alexis and JCrew for this lovely promo! Much appreciated!
clicquot:
ReplyDeleteI ordered the cargo dress as a pre-order, and based on the measurements sent by my ps, I ordered a 6 (I veer between a 6 and an 8 in J. Crew dresses). It fits very nicely, a little loose (just like it is meant to). Only thing is that is a bit short, but since it is a summer, hang loose kind of item, it's okay by me. I imagine wearing it with gladiator sandals, loads of bracelets, and my hair up in a ponytail. I just now need to do that. LOL.
Alexis: This is such a fab promo. Esp. since it can be coupled with sales items, promos on shorts and flip-flops, and some of the collaboration pieces. Woohoo! Enjoy spending, everyone!
Thank you Alexis and Happy Birthday. No someone stop me because I've already placed two orders :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t ignore this offer.
ReplyDeleteI ordered Victoria ruffle tissue cami in 3 colors; Everyday cardigan in pale blossom and Canterbury bells pencil skirt.
Thank you, Alexis and JCrew.
Thanks for sharing, Alexis. I ordered a couple of things, including the Dahlia earrings - does anyone have them?
ReplyDeleteI just got the gold Topsiders and a ring! I felt so special using this discount.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexis
I decided to send j.crew an email (to the attn of Tracy) thanking them for thinking of us and for honoring Alexis' blog. Perhaps if many of us thanked them, they'd be more likely to do it again in the future! This really was kind of them to do.
ReplyDeleteWell, I had to use discipline but I went ahead and made my small purchase to show support for JC's decision to recognize the blog. It was a pop-back so I hope it ships!
ReplyDeleteI guess my comment from earlier today didn't save ... I'm a little sad because the only things I REALLY wanted -- broken-in boyfriend chino shorts -- did not show up as 20% off. I called customer service before I ordered and the woman (Shanika ?sp) couldn't explain why they were still the same price they were last week. No help at all. I bought them anyway with the BIRTHDAY code, but I sure would have liked to get the 20% off plus the 15% with the code. Boo hoo. :-/
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis! and Happybday to JCA blog. I think we all should order at least something so JC will see how important is this blog for all of us and we will be getting more dsct and our voice will be heard by JC. Bravo Alexis!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful acknowledgment...I just placed an order yesterday, but might go ahead again today and order some things I wanted but didn't order due to no discount..like the Minnie pants I've been wanting to try..
ReplyDeleteOT: I know others have made comments about Talbots here and on other blogs. I just received the Spring Blossom Boyfriend cCardigan from them in purple print. (It also comes in two other colors.)The quality is fantastic. The buttons are a higher quality than JCrews. Nice and thick pearl/shell with silver metal re-enforcements.
ReplyDeleteI recently received two JCrew sweaters from different orders...both had buttons that broke while I was putting it on for the first time.
The Talbots sweater is a great weight. Perfect: not too thin and not too thick. Silk cotton blend. I did size down from my JCrew size as well.
This is my first Talbots clothing purchase since the 90's and I am so happy with it. Had to share:)
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Made an order for a pair of flip flops, sweater, and a tee for my son. If you add flip flops to your order you get free ship! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're shopping regular price, I have a list of reviews and links to irl pics in this post.
ReplyDeleteLOVE u Alexis and JC, for real-real.
ReplyDeleteI ordered the lovely bisbee tote, gazebo trouser pant, two trifle cardis (honey and black), and a reusable doggie tote 'cause I didn't get the rewards freebie.
As NCMama said, "stop me" 'cause I may place another order before the day's out!!
Everyone: So happy to hear that you guys are using the code!!! :) It is such a nice offer from J.Crew. Also, thank you for the incredibly nice words. It means a lot to me that you guys took time out of your busy schedules to share your lovely comments with me. You really are the best!
ReplyDeleteAppGal: That is such a sweet move to email and thank J.Crew. So nice of you! :)
dinagideon: I couldn't agree more! I love that this promo is applicable to sale & promo items too. It really is great! :)
Joyce & jcbellemarie & Corry & casual-crew: Thanks for buying in support of the blog! Loves it!!! :)
IRL: LOL! I do need to get the paperbag!!! ;)
Elaine: Epic win is right!!! Yeah for us! :)
FFM: Thank you!!! :)
Mamaliu: You are so sweet. Thank you!!! :)
Kat: Thank you! :)
Maga: Too funny! I agree, love the code. :)
Thanks For Posting the Extra discount for all of us! I Think there are so many of us shopping that Things are flying Out the doors over there.
ReplyDeleteIU had something in my shopping Cart that was gone by the time I clicked order.
IF ANYONE DOESN:T LIKE THE HARRUM PANTS SZ. 6 Shoot me and email!
Happy 2nd birthday JCA! Thank you, Alexis! I adore your blog. I really shouldn't have, but I placed an order;) Wanted to show my support for the blog and JC. I ordered a pair of shorts and the lilac colleto bracelet.
ReplyDeleteMmm the crewlade tastes good :D I ordered the pale pink Jenna cardi, the torque moto sweater, and a sale bauble for dd. Thanks jcrew and Alexis!
ReplyDeleteWell, I bought my first JCrew bag in honor of this lovely blogaversary promo. Thank you again Alexis, this is a wonderful blog community. It has been even more entertaining than usual last night and today, reading everyone's comments. I hope JCrew makes a few extra bucks today and decides showing a little love to the JCAs isn't a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexis for your thorough blog. I picked up a sweater & some earrings. I hope JCrew will realize (if they haven't already) what an impact you make on the JCrew buyer community. Happy 2nd & hopefully JCrew personally gave you somethin'-somethin' ;-)
ReplyDeletethanks JCA Alexis.. so nice of you to share this code. A wish of more years to come for JCA!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis - for sharing the code and for the fabulous blog. What an great gesture from JCrew! I indulged more than I should have but birthdays only come once a year right ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you so much! i'm getting the solid ruched lido halter bathing suit top in black. i can't wait.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary and earning your own discount code! I am a regular reader, mostly lurker but had to share my purchase!
ReplyDeleteI had a spring rewards card to spend so I decided to take the plunge on the painted silk Bridget dress - have not seen it IRL but we'll see how it goes, I'd love it to work out for the multiple weddings/showers I have this summer.
Placed a second order for bistro pants, LOL. Doubly thanks Alexis!!
ReplyDeleteAlexis - I am always amazed at how much work you put into this blog without any compensation. Thank you for maintaining this blog, putting out thoughtful and interesting content, AND keeping it civilized. You deserve all the kudos!!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool! Also a bonus for them is they get to track how many many super-loyal J Crew customers follow this blog. ; ) Happy birthday JCA!
ReplyDeleteOff to shop now...
Alexis: Happy Birthday to your blog and thank you, thank you, thank you to you and JCrew for this awesome 15% off promotion! I love it! I had a full cart and just pulled the trigger....can't wait to get my new arrivals:)
ReplyDeleteAlexis, until yesterday I didn't know who you were, but boy! do I know now! You TOTALLY Rock! I just discovered the joys of J Crew and am ecstatic about the Birthday coupon. I may have missed the past two years, but I'm on board now and here to stay. Just got a boat load of stuff: suede averill sandals, denim cut-off short, and sea urchin ring to name a few. A million thanks to you and J Crew:)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! This blog *so* deserves its own promo! What a fantasic way to be recognized Alexis! This blog is one of the first things I check in the morning and one of the last before I go to bed. You (an the wonderful members here) have helped me so much with invaluable reviews and advice. Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteBTW-I got the leather Vineyard flip-flops with the double promos. Yay!
If I didn't have 3 trips planned for the next 3 months, I would have got more. I wasn't planning on buying anything else this month, but I HAD to support you and JCA! :D I ordered the morning glory tee in salt. So glad I didn't order this last week with the 20% off tees. OT, I did receive the overdyed waterfloral art tee from that order and I really like it. I got the white and it is thin, but it's not to sheer to wear to school. I didn't expect it to have yellow and coral on it, but it does. It fits TTS.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had done all the damage possible last week when I had a 20% off code in my catalogue, but I found more to order! I was so pleased with the code and I appreciate it so much. Thanks to Alexis and to J. Crew!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you so much Alexis!
ReplyDeleteOk, now time to use this coupon! Can anyone tell me how the everyday cardigan fits? I'm generally a small on top, but I have JC sweaters ranging from XS to medium. Thanks!
This is fantastic, Alexis! Thank you for all of the wonderful work you do to maintain this blog. And, like others, I'm thrilled that you have been acknowledged by J. Crew in this way. I took advantage of it and I picked up some tees for my two sons, the Watercolor pastiche perfect shirt, the Zoey blazer in black (not quite sure about this one, but I'll give it a try. Anyone have it and like it? Hate it?), and the Forever Cardigan in Warm Wheat.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Alexis. How awesome that they've acknowledged you. Congrats and Happy 2nd Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI got the tie dye perfect shirt that I've been eyeing...and saved @$22!!! Thanks and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, congrats on the blog's 2nd birthday and how awesome that J.Crew acknowledges what a special community this is! You are really providing them a great service -- I hope they're in here peering at the comments. We're their own personal 24/7 focus group!
ReplyDeleteI bought:
- Embossed beach dress in coral (never tried on the petite size, which is what I probably need... the regular beach dress doesn't fit at all!)
- Seersucker playa dress
- Tissue mini pocket tee
- Vineyard flip flops
- Nubuck flip flops for my fiance
Thanks again, Alexis!
Whoo-hoo, this promo is awesome! And even better, the recognition for you Alexis, and your wonderful blog and the community that surrounds it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered another bling-button cardi, the watercolor pastiche perfect shirt and two double-serge cotton skirts.
Thank you so much for all you do and for sharing so generously - all the information, reviews and promos. All the best to you Alexis.
I ordered two pairs of catalog-only chinos in Petite 00. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI, too, got caught up in the excitement - sequin stripe henley tank, sequin drizzle tank, cotton cascade ruffle cardigan, skinny leather belt, and two items for winter, Friday coat and bistro skirt, and a little something for hubby when we go somewhere tropical, some cotton-linen pants. Thanks Alexis
ReplyDeletewow, this is great!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I got the adorable drapey wool skirt for $25 this am! Thanks guys....
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats and thanks, Alexis! A free shipping code with no minimum--it's like the Holy Grail of JC promotions! This was an excellent excuse for me to snag a couple of items I've been craving: the featherweight cotton cardi (in the lovely mint color) and the Saturday Twist dress. Thank you J. Crew-- and thank you Alexis for running this fabulous blog!
ReplyDeleteThis made my day! Thank you Alexis and of course, my true Retail Love, J. Crew!! I purchased a bikini, Durham pants, Twyla tank and Dahlia tee. Can't wait for my package to arrive!
ReplyDeleteGot two pairs of shorts, two dresses (for my upcoming honeymoon!), and the studio jacket. Wasn't even going to buy anything, but had to cash in on some savings with this! Thanks, Alexis!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your hard work with this blog, Alexis. I too took advantage of the promo. Hope J.Crew continues to honor you-maybe they'll name something after you...I can see the Alexis blazer or ballet flat in the catalogue now!
ReplyDeleteAlexis- how wonderful! Congartulations on both occasions!I aave placed 3! orders today with this fabulous offer. Cannot thank you enough!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis! Ordered two swimsuits, shorts, and a top this morning - imagine my surprise that I just got an email telling me my package shipped today! Looks like the warehouse is working extra-hard in your honor :)
ReplyDeleteJust got the cork wedges in glazed avocado!! Unfortunately, they don't ship til mid-june. But love the 15% off and free shipping!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY 2 YEARS ... I picked up the everyday cardigan in honey & the canterbury pencil skirt ... THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your hard work and effort that goes into this blog. It's helped me save and spend a lot of $.
ReplyDeleteI got a jackie this am and am thinking about ordering the eyelet pencil skirt.
Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI had been waiting to pull the trigger on the Ruffled Rainey Blazer and this was the push I need. I hope I love it!
I also picked up the Canterbury Bells Pencil Skirt and the Dizzy Floral Perfect shirt in neon orange.
Again, thank you so much!!
Congratulations Alexis! And, that's wonderful J.Crew rewarded you! You totally deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI purchased the washed river floral shorts for $30 (20% off shorts promo + 15% code)!
Thanks again!!
Congratulations Alexis! Delurking to say thank you to both you and Jcrew! The outpouring of support is just testament to how much you've touched all our lives =) I was able to order the petite khaki Minnies that I've been eyeing for ages!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, again, to Alexis for this amazing blog, and to J.Crew for acknowledging her contributions to their success!
ReplyDeleteWent for 2 pairs of shorts, the slub polo in orchid shadow, the softspun henley in lagoon green, the Canterbury Bells cardigan, and the Garrison tote. Discount + Free Shipping = Happiness!
I just picked up 2 shirts: the Nailhead Oxford and the Plantation Madras button-down.
ReplyDeleteJudging by this site alone (and I know other sites have gotten wind of this code) J. Crew is getting a ton of orders today. I hope they realize it's because of the irresistible combination of Percentage Off and Free Shipping...and offer it again on a regular basis.
Holy CRAP I almost missed this deal. Thank you so much Jcrew, I love you guys!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Alexis for running such a lovely blog!
In honor of the great present to JCA and Alexis from our beloved JC, I broke down and ordered the Pretty Ruffles Jersey dress in dark pewter. It may prove to be a bit short, but I had to throw some extra business to the Crew for showing love to this blog!
ReplyDeleteTo all who ordered/ will order the Vineyard flipflips: I LOVE my pair from two or three summers ago, and they still look great. That year they were running big, had to size down to an 8 which was perfect. These little beauts have held up perfectly, and look that little bit more pulled together than my usual Havianas.
If only J.Crew knew how much more money I spent because of this blog.... and how much it has increased my appreciation for J.Crew! A lot of us have even started our own blogs dedicated to reviewing mostly J.Crew pieces based on the friendships and inspiration drawn from this blog!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, we know how much time and work you put into this! A much deserved recognition!
AND, even though I'm 7 months prego, I couldn't resist a pair of chino shorts in the cinnabar orange color for myself and a couple pair for the hubby and son to try!
Alexis, Congratulations. To think that so many retailers spend millions and hire consultant and experts for hundreds and thousands to try to develop the community and enthusiasm you have created here. Nothing trumps sincerity and passion. kudos.
ReplyDeleteThank you JCrew for recognizing this gem.
Emily
The one blog that I check daily. Happy Birthday and so lovely to see that your hard work is recognized. Kudos to you and for all your sharing.
ReplyDeleteAlexis, congrats!
ReplyDeleteJCAs -- psst! it seems you can use BIRTHDAY multiple times. There were some things I regretted not ordering this morning and it's letting me check out again with the code
Thanks so much Alexis for all your
ReplyDeletehard work! As you can see we all appreciate it immensely. I ordered the Superfine Nouvelle Jacket, cotton check shirt in light slate and the Piera ballet flats with the birthday promo.
Have a great week and happy anniversary!
Thanks Alexis and happy blog birthday! I've been mostly lurking for the past few months but figured I should say thank you now to you and JCrew. I got a boatload of stuff - suit, tees and a few jackie's. I wouldn't have bought the stuff otherwise. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday JCA. Thank you Alexis. I just ordered 3 bathing suits!! I was holding off, but with 15%, free shipping and a Florida vacation... the timing was perfect. Thanks!! Love this blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you J Crew, but mostly thank you Alexis! I have been following since the early days and love your blog and appreciate all of the work you do. THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteBought the nora pants, torque cardi, denim cut offs and surplus shirt. :)
Man, am I glad I checked one last time before the code expired! The weekend knit pants are down to twenty bucks, so I ordered the sepia to keep my oatmeal and black/shadow company, and on the cheap! I've found myself doing extra loads of laundry to make sure at least one of the pairs I already have are clean at all times... Having an extra pair handy will hopefully cut down some of my comfy-pant OCD.
ReplyDeleteThank you again Alexis for your hard work--I am so psyched for you that JCrew recognized the niche you created.
ReplyDeleteI placed 2 orders! Linen charter skirt, chino shorts (35% off), flip flops with flowers, glitter petal tee, flutter sleeve....so much stuff to try!
I ck this blog everyday-great advice and support here! Again, congrats!
AWESOME!!!!! I got Merino ethereal ruffle cardigan in Warm Wheat. It's been on my wishlist for a while, now it's on its way to a new home!! (eerrr my closet!)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH x0x0
Congratulations on your blog's birthday! It was wonderful of J. Crew to recognize your efforts like this. I made a point to make a purchase with this code (right before the deadline!) I ordered the gingham perfect shirt, wildflower tunic top, and a few knit tops that were on sale. Your code saved me almost $44. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis! And thank you Mickey, as always, you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and thank you Alexis (and Happy Birthday to JCA). I definitely made some purchases with this code today! I ordered some flip flops - 20% off promo, and then the additional 15%? Yes please! I also ordered two bathing suits, two perfect fit scoop neck tees, bling button cardigan, and the featherweight cashmere cardigan in the copper clay color - curious to see it IRL. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I just skimmed through the comments and, as far as I can tell, there are two identifiably male users and the other 130 seem to be females.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what this means, but, as one of the two guys, I am definitely a little uncomfortable with this.
Alexis - what wonderful gifts ... your blog and the code!
ReplyDeletePlaced 2 orders for some CC shoes and tees, printed lieutenant jacket, watercolor floral pastiche skirt, linen charter skirt, fishnet tights and a belt ;0
Robert - Be sure to visit. Heck, bring some friends. Men folk are definitely welcome :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous offer! I've been valiantly resisting the crewlade up til now, due to a combination of ridiculous shipping and my surrounding B&Ms never carrying 14/XL/16 in store, but now i have y first piece of cashmere on its way! I snagged the boatneck ladder stich in apricot-- i've been lusting from a far for the riffs on coral they've been putting out *happydance*
ReplyDeleteFrequent reader and infrequent commenter....thank you so much for sharing this code! I ordered the new embroidered skirt, a perfect shirt and the safari pants !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the birthday! I can't believe your baby is two already.
ReplyDeleteThe code is great. I ordered a second Cayla shell as I adore the white one.
Alexis...
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your AMAZING BLOG...love, love, love it.
Terrific that you've gotten this recognition from JCrew. Keep up the GREAT work.
ordered my suit for my wedding this july, coupon couldn't have come at a better time. thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was the little push I needed to give the Girls' heathered shawl-collar cardigan a shot. Threw in the Crystal Devote Earrings for fun. I just had to celebrate your birthday with you and let J Crew know how much we appreciate you and your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is so Awesome!
ReplyDeleteToo bad I didn't see this until this Morning!
I got my DH 4 pairs of shorts (great deal with 20% off then 15% off on top of that) and 4 tees. I got a pair of shorts, a bikini top and a playa dress for myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Alexis and J Crew!
I love this blog - my first stop on the internet in the morning!
I just had to leave a little comment saying "Many, many thanks!" to Alexis and to her little blog that could and to J.Crew for duly recognizing such a force that is the JCA blog. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I place 2 orders yesterday - on with 6 items in it and later with the luxe terry un-sweatpant that I forgot. :p
Peter,
ReplyDeleteNow that is a good buy and use of the coupon! Congratulations. I bet you will look great in your JCrew suit.
Belated thank you to JCrew and Alexis. I'm scaling buying back and trying to wear all the NWTs I already have, but had to show support for JCrew's birthday present to this blog :)
