Take 40% Off J.Crew's Vacation Picks

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Anthro Blogger & GigiOfCa (in this post), who shared the following news/ email from J.Crew with us.

J.Crew is offering a new promotion: customers can take 40% off J.Crew's vacation picks for Women (click here), Men (click here) and Crewcuts. No code is necessary as the prices are automatically adjusted. This offer expires Sunday, June 16, 2013. The fine print includes:

*Prices as shown reflect discount. Valid on select styles at jcrew.com from June 14, 2013, 12:01am ET through June 16, 2013, 11:59pm ET. Discount not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Discount cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. Terms of discount are subject to change without notice.

Although I am sad to see the promo for the additional 30% off Summer Sale go, I am happy that a new promo is around.

I really like the Linen Tippi Whale Sweater (item 51452; $89.50) now $53.70 online. It is a super light sweater- perfect for Summer time. The sewn-in whales in the bright green look a lot more luxe in person than I was expecting it too. It is a real throw-back to J.Crew's critter collection of yore (which I am loving!) I was able to get this in my normal size of XS (as I feel it is true to size). 

But why am I going on about this sweater... Right now it is $49.99 (before any discount) in J.Crew stores. Plus, there are a few things on that 40% off Vacation Picks list that were already on sale in stores too (like the Button-front dress in linen, Colorblock ponte dress, Lightweight terry tee in stripe, Cluster sequin tee, Multistripe popover, & Perfect shirt in crosshatch linen). So if you live near a B&M (brick & mortar) location, it might be worth checking out in person. (Or at the very least, calling in to see if they have the item and at what price it is ringing up.)

I am also curious about two things... First, I know the fine print states this promotion is exclusive to online only. However, do you think B&M stores will be offering it too? Second, will B&M stores still be offering an additional 30% off their Sale? J.Crew sent out an email this morning announcing the extra 30% off sale is still going on in stores and will be until this Sunday.

Will you be checking out J.Crew's Vacation picks? Were you able to snag any amazing deals? Does your local B&M store offer a similar promotion for Vacation Picks? Are they taking an additional percent of the Sale section? If so, please share! :)
