J.Crew Sweepstakes: Happily Ever Honeymoon

A big "thanks!" to C E S (in this post) who let us know that J.Crew is offering a *new* sweepstakes and free shipping code.

The grand prize is a $2,000 J.Crew gift card and a trip for two to Santorini, Greece. (Once again, I am more excited about winning the gift card than the trip itself!) There is also a daily prize {yey!} of a Mirror-Metallic Passport Cover (Item 10470; $29.50, now $9.99).

The sweepstakes ends 3/15/09, so make sure you enter daily until then! Click here to enter and good luck!

Lastly, J.Crew is offering free shipping on orders of $175+ with promo code WEDDING. This offer expires 2/7/09.

  1. This is cool! But I know why they are giving away those passport covers... they had about 20 of them at my B&M the other day for $5.99 plus 50% off...

    I will be entering. Remember when they had the college student giveaways last year where they gave away the Madaket totes?

  3. Is it bad that I want to enter it when I am not even engaged?

  4. I wanted to enter a J.Crew contest last year but I wasn't prepared to give them all the detailed personal information that was requierd. I recall they asked for your birthdate even. A bit much.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I always lie for the birthdate. Just make something up. I never give real details for online contests....

  6. Sad to see the promo minimum for free shipping has creeped back up. Good time to try out some f/p items!

    Regarding the info. required to play, enter a fake b-day & you don't have to supply your gender or phone #. If you order through JCrew w/a credit card they have most of this information anyway. Wow, I would love to win this through JCrew. I'm sure my dh would never give a second thought to my 'interest' in JCrew again.

  11. whoops.. guess the link won't fit.

  12. Is your only chance of winning is to match up the pictures? Or is that just a little/side prize? Or is it a drawing? Why does this confuse me? HAHAHA...oh that's right I've been on hold with AT&T for an hour.

  13. Great contest, too bad I'm Canadian and locked out of another contest. Good luck to the rest of you.

  14. Does anyone think an extra percent off final sale will be coming soon? I just can't believe there isn't one on now????

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm happy to give this a try daily.

    I've already had a honeymoon, but nothing wrong with hoping for a second honeymoon! :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm def not engaged but entering. Says it's a trip for two, so...hopefully they won't be checking for a wedding license or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  17. ITA, almost every other retailer has their cashmere at rock bottom prices, wonder why JC doesn't mark these way down? I hope an extra % is coming this w/end, bec. these sale prices are not that great. Wonder how long it will take them to mark down the current stuff, they seemed to mark down the kya cami, etc. pretty quickly. ANy guesses?

  18. Thanks for letting us know about this, Alexis. I'll give it a whirl. I never win anything but it's worth a shot :) I can think of at least a few things I would get with that gift card.

    A suit or two, the icon trench, some cute skirts, and lots of tees :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh, and of course, some cardigans :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think the Kya cami's had a slight defect with the hold being too low. That is why they got marked down so fast. There is always a reason...cashmere must be selling...so why mark it down???

    ReplyDelete
  21. girls, jcrew just offered 30% off last week. I do not think there will be any this week.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I want to win SO bad! But, if not me, then I at least hope a JCA wins. Especially because then I'd get to hear about it and maybe see pictures :) I am curious to hear if any JCAs win passport covers too

  23. I won one of the tote bags over the summer! They even monogrammed it for me. It is a great beach bag.

  24. I'm not a bridesmaid but I couldnt resist the Penelope short dress in slate! Full price but never mind. If it looks good on me, I'll keep it. Will do a review once I get it. The inventory is now less than 10 in the 0 and teens for the 2. Not sure if they'll bring in a new shipment.

  25. I bought the passport cover a lil while ago in teal. I went crazy buying their teal datebook and mini notebook and then the pass cover when it went on sale. I think it's sooo cute. I'm all about traveling in style. :)

  26. This is off-topic, but I got a call from J.Crew this afternoon. It was a man saying something about them looking for a tee shirt for me (I had ordered one of the perfect fit tees in citron but got an email that it was unavailable). I said I didn't ask them to look for it. He said something about them calling people who had had items canceled. I didn't talk to him for very long because my husband was there and I didn't want to call too much attention to my recent spending (although it has been very minimal). I wasn't that upset about the tee-shirt. I just added it to one of my orders because with the 30% off it was less than $5.00.
    Anyway, has anyone else gotten a call like this?

  27. mekiki:
    i've gotten a call like this before. they said they canceled a shirt I ordered because it was out of stock. (which was weird because i had already received the email.) they told me they would refund the shipping charged on my whole order for the inconvenience.

    pretty out of the ordinary.. they haven't done that since for my other canceled items. im still not sure why they did it that one time.

  28. Help! Has anyone seen the spicy guava cashmere cardi irl? I'm wondering if it is more pink or orange.
    The soft seashell is very, very pale, right?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I got the metallic pink passport cover & little booklet in the store for something like $5. Bought a luggage tag in the pink for $3. Then things got marked down even further, and I bought some notebooks in the teal and in gold and in silver, just to have as gifts. Wouldn't have paid full price for any of the stuff, but loved it way marked down.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love the notebook that says "Secret Lovers" Does anyone have that? I laugh out loud every time I see it!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I don't. I have "little pink book," "caviar dreams," and "jet setter."

    BTW, I just ordered the Phoebe metallic houndstooth jacket. Anyone have it? What do you wear with it?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love your blog! Added you to my blogroll.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Crossing my fingers and hoping to remember to enter every day. What I wouldn't give to stop starving myself to save for our honeymoon. All the clothes to go on the trip is just icing on the cake!

    ReplyDelete
  34. That passport cover looks trashy. I wouldn't even put it on my passport if they paid me. It says "tacky American", which is not a look I am going for!

  36. La Belle Helene, I just got my Phoebe and am itching to wear it. I'm currently planning on wearing it with a longer black turtleneck, trouser jeans and either black ballet flats or high heeled, patent Mary-Janes. I also think it looks terrific in the online photo with a grey t-shirt and lots of pearls. Unfortunately I think this is one piece that I'm going to have to try on with a bunch of different things because it needs to be styled not to look frumpy, it's not one of those pieces you can throw on over anything. When I first received it I tried it on with a grey cashmere t-neck (and the yoga pants I was already wearing), granted I had no make-up on and my hair was a frizzy mess but it looked pretty frumpy. However once I was showered, etc and tried it on with the outfit above I thought it was really chic. I'm also trying to think of other colors to wear it with, maybe a pale, icy blue? Anyone else??

  37. ATTN FASHION-FWD JCAs WHO SAVE SCREENSHOTS....

    JCAs, can I please ask your help? Around the time of the January catalog (the mansion / astor court location), I recall seeing a fairly large clustered pearl necklace on a "bride" online -- the shot was basically just a headshot ending at the bust. There were a lot of pearls -- like the cluster but NO chain and more like a twisted bubble/sunray necklace ...

    and now it's disappeared!!

    Does anyone remember this? The necklace was gorgeous and I want to design one similar but have NO PICTURES!

    THANK YOU!!!!
