ReplyDeleteIn case you're wanting to indulge in a J Crew-like apple print this spring/summer, check out these cute espadrilles from ASOS: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-MARLEY-Apple-Print-Espadrilles/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1824275&SearchQuery=apple&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Appleprint
ReplyDeleteSome J.Crew-like items in this post. :)
ReplyDeleteReceived an email from Banana Republic for one item at 40% off today. Not sure if it's one time use or not, if you want it, let me know!
ReplyDeleteMissed out on the heart me sweater, so I bought this one as an alternative:

Sure beats the crazy prices on eBay!
Adding a heart print t-shirt from Zara. About $26.
DeleteDoes anyone know when Gap's friends & family sale start? I heard March 15 but wanted to confirm.
ReplyDeleteGap has cute women's 4" shorts in an pink & taupe ikat print for $49.50. Waiting for that F&F 30% off sale so I can pick up a pair. Print looks very JCrew-like; not available yet online.
It is 8-11, but if you know anyone who works for the company or just visit a store, I would ask for an invite. Because the in store coupon I got was for 40% my whole purchase instead of 30%
DeleteConnor: On Facebook, it says Gap Friends & Family March 8-11 - 30% off.
ReplyDeleteI received the Lands' End Canvas Patterned Pintuck Shells I ordered when they were on sale on 2/29. They'll be perfect for summer. The fabric is lightweight but not sheer, so I can even wear them to the office in the summer with a lightweight cotton cardi. As with most LEC clothes, the sizing is on the generous side.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I don't like: the colors online are very deceiving. The lace detailing on both shells is a warm yellowish color *not* the cool white that is shown in the pictures and the prints are yellowish ivory *not* white. Lands' End really needs to work on this issue. I've received numerous items that are a totally different color IRL than what is shown online.
I also made some LE canvas purchases on 2/29. I bought the patterned lawn shirt in raspberry plaid and the long sleeve end-on-end shirt in white. The lawn shirt is very bright and kind of makes me feel like I should be pitching hay, but the fabric is perfect for DC summers, and the fit is great. The end-on-end shirt is too see-through for me, so I'll be returning that. It was my first LE purchase so I followed the size charts exactly, turned out well. Thank you to the commenters who pointed out the sale and vouched for the brand!
ReplyDeleteI received an email from Madewell for 10% off and free shipping on any order (no minimum). It's a one-time use code valid until March 31 - keep your eyes open for an email from Madewell with a similar offer! If I decide not to use it I will post it here.
ReplyDeleteI also have a question: In the sidebar it says Madewell has 20% off every Thursday. Is this an ongoing promotion? I couldn't find any info on the Madewell site and am in need of a new pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteMirm - That is info from August of 2011. I'm pretty sure those promos were in-store only. I'd call a local store if you have one.
DeleteThanks for the reply! I really hope they have a promotion coming up, the Tysons store had skinny jeans at 30% off last weekend, but not in the dark wash I wanted.
DeleteA few Madewell reviews HERE.
ReplyDeleteThe BR 40% off code is BRNOW40 for one FP item, but there are a lot of exclusions (Mad Men, Monogram, Heritage, shoes and accessories).
ReplyDeleteYou can stack a 20% off code on top fo the 40% off code at Banana Republic! BRSAVE
ReplyDeleteWow, you can also stack the 25% off BRMAD25 with the 40% off (on FP clothes, w/exclusions)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, M!! I just ordered a cute sweater from BR and saved a lot.
DeleteHi, all! Just wanted to let you know that Boden is running a 25% off all mini Boden items (includes baby Boden) and select women, men, and Johnnie B (teen line) items. I have more on it here at this post. :)
ReplyDeleteNo free shipping, which bugs, but if you are sure of your sizing, etc., are planning a larger order, or the item looks like it is low stock, it may be worth your time.
Tomorrow for a limited time LE Canvas has Funnel neck lightweight sweater $7 and Cable crewneck $16; lots of colors.
ReplyDelete25% off everything at Talbots through Monday.
ReplyDeleteOT: If anyone has a Madewell 10% off coupon that you're not going to use, I'd love to take it off of your hands! I can give you a sheet of Banana Republic 40% off coupons for Wednesdays in April in exchange.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!

Anyone know if lands end is having any promos in their stores(sears) or online?
ReplyDeleteThere is a Kork-Ease Boutique on Rue La La today...more details here. :)
ReplyDeleteI finally found a good chambray shirt at Banana Republic. It is the Soft-Wash chambray pintuck shirt. I like that this shirt doesn't button up all the way, so I feels casual. It looks great with the colored chino shorts from J.Crew!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the linda tote from BR that I got at a steal, along with the chambray shirt. I got it in the pink and tan color (not online) which is so pretty. It is a good sized bag, but a great overnight bag, or for me, great for taking on site visits for work while still looking stylish. I love BR’s sales and coupons!
I posted a review of the Ralph Lauren Polka-dot Cotton Shirtdress here on my blog today. :)
