FFF – J. Crew sale denim love and spicy Szechuan food

July 26, 2013

Happy fun, free Friday lovelies!

Online Discount

I never though I would be a colored denim lover.  I thought it was a trend and didn’t want to invest in a bright pair that would feel obsolete next season.  I have also always loved the classic, dark wash of flared (now skinny) jeans.  It matches everything right so why would I mess with it?  Then, I got my first pair of bright baby blue legging jeans (different colors are out now, but these Gap jeans seriously rock!) and was in love!  it is surprising how a pop color can match with almost anything!  Printed skinny jeans are also still going strong and some colors also transition beautifully into fall.

Rowena first pointed me to the fun denim selection at J. Crew. Now is a great time to browse the selection because you get an extra 40% off with code STYLE40 through August 4, 11:59 pm EST (this is the best sale on sale discount of the year!) I want to highlight other good finds on sale, but will stick with great denim finds today:

These are most similar to the jeans I have and love:

J. Crew toothpick jeans in dyed twill - saved by Chic n Cheap LivingToothpick jeans in garment dyed twill, J. Crew, $29.99 (from $125)

Isn’t white denim timeless?

J. Crew cropped matchstick jeans in white - saved by Chic n Cheap Living

Cropped matchstick jeans in white denim, J. Crew, $47.99 (from $115)

Then of course there are the printed jeans, including this year’s version of floral printed jeans (I like the red background in the Liberty of London print!)

J. Crew cropped matchstick jeans in dotted spearmint - saved by Chic n Cheap Living

Cropped matchstick jeans in dotted spearmint, J. Crew, $41.99 (from $135)

J. Crew Liberty toothpick jeans in Matilda Floral - saved by Chic n Cheap Living

Liberty toothpick jeans in matilda tulip floral, J. Crew, $47.99 (from $150)

Save!

– Ebates offers the highest cash back when you shop at J.Crew (6%).  Log onto Ebates first, then search for and click from the site to J.Crew. Shop and automatically get cash back on your entire purchase.   Here is my invite if you’d like it.

Otherwise this weekend, I am…

…getting together with some friends old and new for a spicy Szechuan meal.  It’s funny because for some reason, when I see these friends, we seem to have this spicy food a lot.  There is something about the “ma la” numbing spicy taste of the cuisine that makes it so addictive!  My husband is also trying to convince me to see a cheesy movie, but we will see if I succumb to watching robots and aliens fight.

What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous weekend!

    White denim is my obsession – I could literally live in it! 🙂

  • Rowena July 26, 2013 at 10:58

    Aww thanks for the mention! Now you’re totally enabling me with those Liberty floral jeans. I’m going to be in Soho for lunch today so I’ll have to make sure to stop by J. Crew as well.

    Happy weekend! Spicy food is so much better with friends 🙂 We’re meeting up with friends for hot pot.

      I’m glad we enable each other! I really wish I could try on those mint polka dot jeans so I know my size! Hopefully I squeeze in a NY visit before they run out of stock!

    40% is off is awesome!!! I love colored denim. It’s a great way to spice up a casual outfit. I’m also loving the printed denim. They’re really expanding on this trend that I feel is here to stay. HAHAHA White denim always looks good.

    I’ve always been a dark denim skinny jean kind of girl, but I do like a lot of the colorful pairs these days. Enjoy your weekend of spicy food and cheesy movies. The hubs told me that Pacific Rim was pretty decent actually.

    those denim are nice and like spicy szechuan foods

    I bailed out on seeing Pacific Rim but my hubby liked it. Did you go? I actually really like the coloured jeans but find you have to think more about what you wear with them eg my pink jeans look ridiculous with a simmilar shade pink top, but with a black top I think they look great. I like the prints that are not too loud and busy. Hope you had fun with your friends 😀

      I bailed on my husband too! He was perfectly fine seeing it himself and enjoyed it. I preferred going to Pilates class.
      I agree that colored denim needs to be paired well with other colors or else it looks very bright!

      Thank you for the well wishes and have a great weekend!
