Sale Alert: Kindle Paperwhite and J.Crew Sale Picks

I just wanted to post about a couple notable sales that I came across today.

1) I'm not sure how long this offer is good for, but I see that today the Kindle Paperwhite e-reader is only $79.99 with special offers and $99.99 without special offers for Amazon Prime members. This is the best price I've seen on the e-reader in a while. I own and love the Paperwhite (without special offers, because I hate ads). I use it all the time and even gave my boyfriend one for Christmas this year. Of course it's really handy for traveling, but I also just carry it around in my purse so I can read even when I'm in the checkout line at the grocery store. Ever since I bought one, I've been reading a ton of books (I check out free e-books from my library), and now I spend less time glued to my cellphone/TV (probably for the best). Anyway, if you've been thinking about buying one, I highly recommend it!


2) My favorite retailer J.Crew has been really struggling lately. I hope they don't go out of business since their clothes fit me so well, but I have to admit that they've been pretty off-base in terms of their overall design. I still see some cute pieces I want, but nothing like the days of yore when I lusted after everything. Right now they're running a sale-on-sale promotion, where you can take an extra 30% off styles that end in .99 with code TAKE2030. Here are my sale picks:


If any of these items are out of stock in your size, I would recommend checking the website early in the morning for popbacks!

What do you think of J.Crew's style nowadays? What pieces have you picked up from them lately?

    1. It's definitely worth the money! For years I had been meaning to read more books but didn't really get back into it until I bought a Kindle.

  2. J. Crew definitely seems to be struggling. I hope they can turn things around.

    1. I hope so too! It doesn't bode well that they've been closing stores, and their inventory just sits around in the sale section for ages...

  3. I haven't shopped at J.Crew in what seems like forever. They converted the brick and mortar near me to a factory store so I don't really have any incentive to order from the regular retail store now that I can't easily return what doesn't work. :(

    1. That's terrible! They've been closing a number of brick and mortar stores, which is a bad sign...
