J.Crew Factory is celebrating their 4-year online anniversary by offering 50% off everything, with a few exclusion, prices as marked. This is a really nice promo as some items are more than 50% and are singled out in the men’s and women’s sections, in the “cherry-on-top” section. Also, new items arrived yesterday and are included in this promo.

The Vail Parka is back and at half off nets $134. The quality is a little less than the retail version but it is still a really good duplicate of the retail Chateau Parka. Is the Merino Caryn Caridgan new? I can’t recall if it was out last year. From the online image, it looks like another replica of the retail Jackie in Merino Wool. I’ll have to see it in person to know for sure. I especially like the Heather Charcoal color. They are giving us a little tease for Holiday with the Plaid Shirt in Tartan. The one I have is a little snug so I may just get the Factory version, though I would like something a little more colorful. Here are a few of my other picks at the Factory.


Cold weather and Winter are so far off for me that it’s hard for me to really consider anything heavier than a lightweight cardigan. Although that does mean I get to lightly layer instead of bundling up.

What you adding to you wishlist from J.Crew Factory?

J.Crew has had 5 days of different promos, with today’s being 40% off all Final Sale items, with code FRIDAY. I’ve been waiting for a better percentage off of sale items, though I wish it wasn’t F/S, to make a few purchases. I bought the Marine Salt color of the Collection Gazebo Pants. I love the black and can see wearing this color with a black cashmere tee and these strappy flats or these gorgeous t-strap flats. Out of all the Fall heels I’ve seen offered at J.Crew I think the pink tweed Elsie Pumps are the most fun! I may also be able to pull them off with the Gazebo Pants.


There are lots of items on sale right now. It looks some I bought on promo are now in the sale section like this silk blouse and the Sammie Pants in Polka Dot. I have yet to wear them but that’s only because I had them in a box of clothes I’m getting rid of. Luckily I double-checked that box before sending it out.


Are you shopping this final promo of the week? Did you shop any of the others during the week? Anything I missed that you think I’d love?

Starting today at Tory Burch, you can take 30% off your purchase of $250 or more with code FALL16. I love this promo which is different from the tiered promos in the past. With the tiered promo you had to spend $700+ to take 30% off.

The collection this Fall has pretty florals on a black background, a horse & chariot print and the Gemini Link Collection found on bags, shoes and clothes. Here are just a few of my picks. I can tell you the Gemini Link Tortoise Loafers are beautiful IRL. For me, it is hard to choose between those and the Gigi Pump. Then the Blossom collection is so gorgeous. I have seen the Ballerina Flat and the leather applique flowers are so lovely on the flat.

Nordstrom is honoring the 30% off on a few items; shoes from what I can tell. And cardholders get Triple Points right now. I was in the store last weekend and tried on a few items. I’ll share those with you tomorrow.

Happy Shopping!

If you are an Anthropologie card holder, starting today you can take 20% off your purchase, sale or full price items. There are items I want both in-store and online only so I will probably place an order online and pay the shipping. At the top of my list are the Melange Lace Pencil Dress and the Rosewood Lace Top. I know I’ll get more use out of the blouse but I really love the lace dress.

And these are the other items currently sitting in my cart. I’ll whittle them down to one or two more items. I’m leaning towards these embroidered jeans and these colorblock booties in the Navy.


If you are shopping in-store, show your Anthro card or give them your phone number to look up your account. If you are shopping online you can use code FALLPERK.

I am back from my mini-vacation just in time to see all the new cherry print items J.Crew rolled out for October. We had a little sneak preview when the Flutter-Sleeve Top (review) was put out in stores at the end of August. Now it’s truly rolled out along with all the other items in the print, but with a black background and red cherries. I was at the store Wednesday and tried on every piece I could find. Those reviews are coming soon.

I liked the Tippi Sweater but since I haven’t had the opportunity to wear my Embellished Bee Tippi I probably won’t buy it. I love the ruffle bottom of the wrap dress but the top is a little low-cut. A short block heel is on the Ankle-Wrap Heels and you can choose a necklace or bracelet with cherries. Finishing up the accessories are a pretty little silk scarf or socks.

I sure do wish J.Crew allowed more than 100 items in a wishlist. Or at least allowed you to create separate categories under your account. Mine is completely full and I’ll have to start making more purchases if I want to add anything from the November and Holiday rollouts coming in the next few months.

Have you tried any of the cherry print items? What is your favorite?
