/ Bella Picks

J.Crew has lots of items from the early Fall rollouts on sale. All the cherry print items are on sale, plus an additional 30% off with code SALETREAT. I have worn the Flutter-Sleeve Top many times since I purchased it. I’ve been pairing it with an older Jackie Cardigan in Burnished Olive. Another print on sale is the Windowpane in Silk-Twill. Both the dress and top that I reviewed are now on sale.


There are some great items in the 50% off section as well like the Leopard Bow Sandals , which I ordered, or these Printed Multistrap Sandals (review). There are also quite a few of the brighter colors of the Wool Jackie available and the Harlow Sweater is also on sale.

/ Reviews

Starting today through Monday, October 26, you can use promo code SaleTreat to take 25% off full-price styles or 40-50% off Final Sale styles. The 50% off section has some great items, especially if you want to kick start your Christmas shopping.

The Featherweight Cashmere Pocket T-Shirt is a great price at $55. Basic colors like Black, Navy and Gray are always great to have on hand, especially as the weather starts to shift to cooler temps. I suspect these are better up North in the late Spring as opposed to Early Winter.

I’ve been lusting after the Cropped Linen Wide-Leg Trouser in Red Clay all Summer long. It now nets $40. It looks like they run TTS but do I take a chance on Final Sale? And do I order the Red Clay or the nice basic Classic Ivory?

Of course, some of the best deals, under $50, can be found in the jewelry section. I’ve ordered the Mixed Stacking Rings for me, for a much better price at $25. The Petal Cuff Bracelet and Dangling Paillette Necklace both net $20. Even the Yarn-Dyed Vertical Striped Scarf I mentioned in my Sunday Shopping post has moved to the 50% off section.
Also, today only you get Free Shipping with SaleTreat. So you don’t have to hit the normal $150 threshold, especially if you find several items at 50% off and are still under that total.
Happy Shopping!

I took a gamble on J Crew Final Sale last week knowing only one item would really work. Let’s see if the others are to my liking as well.

~ Striped Short-Sleeve V-Neck Sweater, Clay White, Small ~
I tried this on in the Navy Champagne back in May. I really liked it but didn’t think a sweater for Summer was worth the price at the time. The colors finally went on sale and I was able to get the Navy in-store for an additional 50% off. I waited for a good promo online to order the Clay White. This runs large and the Small fits me well and the way I want it to. I actually wore the Navy sweater this week when I had to go in to the office. I knew I was going to be in a meeting room all day and that the A/C would be really cold. Yes, I was hot and sweaty outside but the sweater was perfect for inside all day. I love that the Clay White will work well in the Fall. 

~ Wide-Leg Cropped Jean in Odell Wash, size 29 ~

I’ve been waiting to try the wide-leg cropped jean since it first arrived. Reviews are mixed with some saying to size down or that these fit weird. I LOVE them! I am so glad I was able to get them on sale and with a promo. I paid $42 for them but now they are part of the 60% off section making the Odell Wash jean 16 FREAKING DOLLARS! Of course I ordered another pair. The Lowry Wash and White are still on sale for $104.99 plus 40% off with GOSHOPPING.
I love the fit of these. I took my normal size 29 and the fit TTS for me. The waist does gape a little in the back but not enough to make them super loose in waist or feel like they are falling off. They skim my hips and upper leg and then go straight down from there. They are not a super wide-leg but I love the feeling of a non-skinny jean. The length are normal for me (5’2″) but I wore them rolled and liked the look. I can’t wait to try them with heels/espadrille wedges. I should order the Lowry Wash since I haven’t had a whole lot of luck finding a pair of non-skinny jeans. 
 
 
~ Vintage Cropped Jean in Rinse Wash, size 29 ~

I tried these on in the Parisi Wash not too long ago, though not in the correct size. The size 29 are the better fit, as I suspected. I like the dark wash on these as the two Tory Burch pair I have are a little faded from so many wears and washes. These are a nice fit but they are not cropped on me like I expected. Maybe once they are washed a few times they will shrink up a little. The denim is a little rougher feel than the Parisi Wash. Those were really soft but they were also a very light wash. These are a good price at $36 with GOSHOPPING and a nice addition to my closet.

It’s also a great time to get some Collection, 3rd-party and Cashmere items. All these are and additional 60% off. The scarves are great for Christmas gifts. I ordered the Palm Tree Scoopback Swimsuit for only $20. The Striped Eyelet Skirt comes out to $16 if you can get your size.
