  1. I ordered the COLETTE D'ORSAY PUMPS IN HOUNDSTOOTH earlier this week -now I have to ask for a price adjustment. They were not final sale when I got them and they are now but I highly doubt that I will return these. I have other versions of the colette and love them. There is a pretty good selection of shoes right now so it's worth a look for 50%

  2. I'm sure most everyone knows, but today is also 50% off sale for cardmembers with code CARDSONLY. I picked up 2 jackies for Fall and a couple of crewcuts things for my kids. Wish there was more I wanted, but there wasn't!

  3. Picked up a pair of jeans and a Boyfriend Cashmere Sweater for less than $100. Prices are cheaper than the Clearance Store so it saved me a trip to Lynchburg.

    1. Do you own any of the boyfriend cashmere cardigans? I ordered one this morning, too, and was wondering if it is really oversized? Hope it isn't but it is final sale so I'm stuck with it. ;)

    2. @shopalot - That wasn't directed at me but I have a few - they're pretty TTS in my opinion, maybe a tiny bit oversized but not dramatically so.

  4. Hi all - I know this is not the right thread for this but I need some advice. I just got a new job (YAY) & I am looking to upgrade from the crappy nylon laptop bag given to me by current job to a nice tote I can carry all my assorted things in (not laptop - just notebooks, lunchbag, water bottle, etc.). I do NOT care for yellow gold hardware & I'd rather have a neutral like grey or cognac over black or navy. Does anyone have any good recs? I'm looking to spend around ~$150 or so. Is the Madewell Transport tote the be-all, end-all bag that so many think it is?

    1. Congrats on the new job! Have you considered Cuyana's totes? They're slightly pricier than the Transport tote but the quality is excellent. Minimal hardware on many of their offerings, tho they do tend to use gold or rose gold. I have their classic leather tote in navy, and the leather is buttery-soft and quite sturdy. HTH!

    2. I love my longchamp le pliage. Some have brass hardware but the neo style doesn't, and if you order a custom one (through certain boutiques or the longchamp US website) you can choose size, hardware color (I chose bronze) body color, embossing or embroidery (or neither), stripe color and handle length. Mine is seriously one of my most favorite possessions. I got a large size tote and I keep my smaller le pliage inside so it's easy to go from big tote to smaller handbag.

    3. I should add they have some gorgeous neutrals along with colors and IMO the leather color ties everything together. I've gotten several of the smaller handbags in various colors you might like—gunmetal, clay. For my personalized bag I got a black body with red stripe which works with my very limited wardrobe palette.

    4. Thanks @cobalt & @Suz! I'll have to check out Cuyana - I don't mind rose gold so much.

      I have a small Longchamp bag - it literally did not even occur to me to seek out a larger one for this purpose. I don't use the one I have a lot but it might be just the thing!

    5. Hi Taylor - congrats on the job! : )

      I love my Transport tote, but it's also several years old. I think that the quality of some of Madewell's leather may be slipping based on reviews. There's no interior organization except for a small zippered pocket, so depending on what you're carrying things may get "lost" inside. Have you checked out the all-day tote at JC? I wouldn't be surprised if a future promo applies to it.

      JC had this in-store only grey tote a few years ago that my store never got - I missed out and still stalk eBay for it from time to time. Gigi reviewed it here - love your archives, G!

    6. You may also want to look at Everlane's Petra tote -- very clean as far as hardware goes, and beautiful leather.

    7. Congrats Taylor! I love the Cuyana bags - they're a bit pricey but worth the $

      Delete
    8. Look at Vera Bradley. They have leather and solid colored fabric options and the organization in their bags is always excellent. I know it has a reputation for its loud printed fabrics, but take a look anyway because I think they've added many more quieter, solid colored options.

    10. Hi Taylor, congrats! I just wanted to add that I have a Madewell transport tote and it's really heavy. My shoulders kill after carrying it around. Just an FYI--I know you said you don't bring a laptop, but I find that it doesn't take much to make it feel heavy. -lep33shops

    11. Hey everyone! FIL was in town for a few days and I had some work stuff going. I feel like I've been away forever. Thanks for the link love, silver_lining. I look up my old reviews, too :)

      I used to use some of those purse organizers that I've reviewed from tine to time. I'm currently using a lg Kate Spade zip pouch for the loose items and one small makeup pouch. It keeps the interior from getting pen marks and limits bag abyss.

    12. I love my Barrington Gifts Savannah Tote. It's not leather, only handles and trim, but you can customize color/pattern and it holds a ton. It has a top zip and lots of interior pockets. I'm hard on my work totes and they can get wet and bumped around with no problem and still look nice. I have one in Glen Plaid which is fun for fall.

      Delete
    13. Taylor - congrats on the new job! I would echo the Longchamp rec - my Le Pliage is on constant rotation as my work bag and it always looks polished. I also have a Kate Spade tote that I bought via one of the surprise sales (so it's an outlet piece) and I have gotten a ton of mileage out of it. Good luck!

  5. I'm confused as online is calling it final sale, but only one of my items has the red 'final sale' next to it. Does this mean I can take back the rest of my items if they don't work out? I'm buying two different size pants with the plan that one size WILL go back. I just want to make sure it's not all final sale.....thanks!

    1. If it's not marked final sale it's not! I also ordered two pairs of the Billie crop jeans in the brook dale wash in two sizes and they're not marked final.

  6. FYI, for those of you who purchased sale items yesterday at 30%: I placed a very large order yesterday for Outdoor Voices items, for myself and Xmas gifts -- and I hesitantly called today to see if I could get a price adjustment from 30% off sale to today's 50% off sale, which would have been over $200. To my surprise (I mostly stopped doing this after getting the "as a one time courtesy" line a few times), the JC SA happily adjusted all of the prices -- even though it was adjusting sale (not original) prices to lower sale prices, and sent over a revised invoice within a few minutes. A very nice surprise.

    1. me too, on the OV items! tanks for 30 and leggings for 35, love it! it makes such a positive impact when you have a good experience with customer service, and feel like they did something nice.

    2. Me three. Took the SA a bit to figure it out, but was finally able to get the PA done, yeah!

    3. When I saw the 30% off of everything promo in my email I immediately emailed customer service to ask for a price adjustment on the full price lucite suede heels I had ordered the day before. When I looked at the site later in the day I saw they were excluded and assumed I would get a reply saying so. I actually received a very nice message saying they were excluded but the rep was happy to honor it anyway (no mention of "this one time only". I was so surprised as I think those are selling well and I was lucky to catch a 5.5 that reappeared.

  7. I looked everyday this week...somedays had free shipping others not...% off fluctuating everyday one same items. It seemed like alot of work this week ...everday new promo. I didn't care for it Just my opinon though. I didn't order anything. SA told me final sale is not waived on Canadian orders anymore...not considered International anymore. when did they change this? I was never told before now.
    every time things happen or change....I take a break form the crewlade. Seems like this is a good time as new roll out is weeks away. I always come back....if even only to browse.
    It has been a record of length of time since my last order.

    1. Hi Unknown, not sure when they made the change, but I remember being told last January by CS that I could order Final Sale items to ship to Canada, and FS would be waived. When I returned a (different order) collection sweater I purchased FS in April, they tried to deny the refund, as it was Final Sale. A different CS told me that it had "recently" been changed, so I'm guessing the change happened sometime in late winter/early spring this year. What a bummer.

  8. Before I take the plunge, can anyone please tell me the fit of the Pumps in Snakeskin Printed Leather (f4875)? I desperately want these shoes , but final sale is keeping me from pulling the trigger. Thanks in advance.

    1. @Sinead, I'd ask for an exception from cs so that you could return them if they don't fit - final sale is such a gamble that I wouldn't want to chance it. I hope they work out for you!

    2. I would do the same. Email customer service.

  9. I was excited to see the cap sleeve dress in shirting stripe (finally) go on sale so I picked it up this morning along with a bathing suit I probably don't need and swim trunks for DH. We're heading on vacation next week and I'll be glad to have this dress with me. The dress also wasn't final sale.

    1. Thanks for the heads-up on the dress, Anne! Lucky enough that my size was still available, so I scooped it as well - loved it when I tried it this summer but couldn't justify the price.

      Delete
    2. What a great price! Wish it wasn't sold out online in most sizes (for Canada).

      Delete
    3. Michelle, glad you grabbed the dress. I'll be happy to have it next summer too. Jan - fingers crossed for a popback!

    4. Thanks, Anne! Have a great vacation!

    5. Anne, thanks for heads up too! I ordered it. So much stuff went on sale this week that I was interested in, so decided to order. Enjoy your vacay!

  11. lso every other animal which feeds on the carcass. Humans have also been killed by coming in contact with poisoned meat, or by eating an animal which had fed on a poisoned carcass. This tool is also used to manage several caterpillars e.g. Spodoptera litura, fruit flies, snails and slugs, crabs etc.
