J.Crew: Extra 30% off sale

J.Crew followed up last week's extra 25% off everything with a 30% off sale items code.

OURTREAT works on Factory items as well - but beware of the final sale!  Call customer service and verify measurements if you have to.  I've been burned on the final sale purchase more than once!  You can also head down to your local J.Crew, as this deal is in stores too.

Happy shopping!

Sephora Friends and Family Sale

I will be upfront about this post and say that while I love makeup, I am the worst at wearing it. I am a 28 year old professional who still cannot apply eyeliner.  Lara at the glossarie tells me this is ok, and I still buy liners like this will somehow change.

Sephora had their biannual Friends and Family sale this past weekend - love!  Sephora generally doesn't do sales or discounts, and their stuff is not cheap.  A 20% unlimited discount makes a girl shop if there are no other discounts to be had! 

Here is what I ordered:

Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm

I read a review on Veronika's blog - it's supposed to be a straightening and relaxing balm.  I'm hoping this will shave a few minutes off of my straightening routine in the morning.

Boscia Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 15

This stuff is the best: so light, and smells organic - which I'm sure some people hate but I like that it smells like veggies and not chemicals and perfumes.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment - SPF

Again, another review from Lara's blog - I can't wait to try it.  I went for a non-tinted stick so I can control the color while still getting an exfoliating lip treatment daily!

Also, because I'm a VIB with points to burn, I scored a free 12 oz. Philosophy Purity Made Simple Facial Cleanser. Not too bad!  I will try this out with my Clarisonic and see how it works.

That's all for this weekend - happy shopping!

I'm back! J.Crew 25% off sale through Monday

Sorry for the break in programming, everyone!  Life was a little out of hand for the past month: there was a new job, a dog that needed surgery, and visitors to our home every weekend.  While I made do with the time I had available, it was next to impossible to shop, nevermind blog about it.

Now I'm back!  I'm looking forward to an uneventful fall that includes cashmere sweaters and plenty of workouts at the Bar Method - has anyone else tried their new location in Nashville?  I am simply in love - I have never looked forward to exercise quite like this.  I bought an unlimited 45 days for $100 (hello, frugal) but I think I'm going to spring for unlimited months once this deal is up.  I can feel the changes to my body with just a few weeks of Bar Method classes, and I have a free gym at work if I ever get the urge to hop on a treadmill or elliptical.  The owner, Carrie, is so wonderful - and all of the instructors look great, so you know it's a good workout. 

On to today's deal!

J.Crew is offering 25% off any purchase, and has lowered the free shipping threshold to $150.  Gotta love that! Use code: LOVEFALL.  This can also be used with Factory purchases, located at www.jcrew.com/factory.

This can be used in conjunction with the current select-sweater sale, which brings some cashmere items down to around $100.  This is great if you're not all about the final sale - I find that $70 is the best I can usually do for a cashmere sweater on final sale from J.Crew, so $100 with the option to return is not terrible.

Happy shopping!!
