Macy's - men's Alfani chukka boots review
ReplyDeleteCost Plus - Cute gifts under $25. Look for the free shipping note on many of the product pages.
Loft is doing 50% off and free shipping today. The free ship/no min is rare - I don't even think they did that on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
ReplyDeleteThat is very rare! I hesitate to buy online from Loft because I HATE the $8.95 shipping!
DeleteAmazon has a lot of great deals going on right now. They're taking 30% off select styles for Green Monday (what exactly is Green Monday anyway?). See my blog for more details.
ReplyDeleteOT - but Daily Mail has a photo of Kate chatting with Jenna Lyons at an event yesterday. By her facial expression, I'd say Kate was super excited to meet Jenna.

ReplyDeleteLots of J.Crew-like and Madewell-like items in my You Look Very Familiar...Have I Seen You Some Place Before? post. Included this week are alternatives for the gingham utility shirt, fair isle ski sweater, and transport tote, to name a few. :)
ReplyDeleteI've shared information about various sales and deals taking place right now from some of my favorite retailers at the bottom of this post.
ReplyDeleteJust an update on my Everlane Chunky Knit sweater that I raved about. I wore it twice and it started to pill like crazy. Reached our to Everlane CS and they told me to use a stone or comb and let the sweater 'rest' between wearings. I did that and wore it again and still lots of pilling, so I reached out again and asked if anyone else was complaining. Here is their reply:
ReplyDeleteHi Josanne,
I'm so sorry for the extra step, we never want our products to be cumbersome to own or wear. We've since realized that this sweater's wool does pill excessively. While the comb helps, please know that our production team is aware and researching ways to improve upon this collection so we don't experience this defect in the future. Do let me know how the sweater is faring after the comb + wear. And the mean time, keep an eye out for a little something special headed your way :)
I did mention that having another task on my 'to do' list, combing my Everlane sweater was not great. I am going to see on the next couple of wearing how I feel, since I really love the style of the sweater but at $98, it is really starting to look a little raggy and it is certainly be high maintenance.
Oh no. I just bought the Chunky slouchy boyfriend knit.
DeleteDid they put some credit in your account?
Kate Spade - under $99 surprise sale -- The average price point for small crossbodys is $69. Some good deals on mini, taxi-style wallets. 12 picks here. Yes, there are a couple of bow themed items involved. ;)
