Always full of surprises, Madewell has been running very good promos lately! Right now is no exception; you can take 30% off your Madewell purchase of $200+ or 20% off orders of any size. The code is SPLURGE and yes I plan to do so, thank you.
Take this look above. Winter weekends are often spent at my boyfriend’s parents’ place out in the Hamptons, in their cute little cottage with so many wood-burning fireplaces, including our hideaway basement suite. It feels like heaven and requires mastery of the art of lounging. So how cute would this look above, featuring the Fireside Cardigan Sweater ($128 + up to 30% off) be?
Inside, gifts and, ahem, ‘gifts.’ (The kind that I buy for me.)
Surely, items like the Ryder Cuff Beanie ($40 + up to 30% off) and the coordinating Ryder Ribbed Scarf (now $45 + up to 30% off) will make excellent gifts, and I have been looking, but I keep getting distracted by all the lovelies I’d like to purchase for myself. Although I just purchased a super cute pj set from J.Crew (the lone review showing is by me!), I’m wondering if my sleepwear drawer has enough room for the set shown above too…? Around this time of year nearly everything in my mind is a question.
Such as, does my gifting budget leave room to buy the suddenly needed Lace-Up Hoodie Sweater ($128 + up to 30% off) with its cozy fine-gauge merino wool and waffle texture? Why is this beautiful Washed Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($498) excluded from the promo? (I mean, I know why, but whhhhhhyyyyyy?????) And which size of the Transport Bag — the satchel (now $150 + up to 30% off) or the crossbody ($148 + up to 30% off) should I get to pair with my recent Transport Weekender ($298 + 30% off) purchase? (It’s so delicious and so rarely in promos — highly recommended!!)
Oh right, gifts. Wouldn’t your ‘friend’ love this entire look above? From seeing the Nutcracker or the Rockettes to a fun date night out on the town, something about this entire combination is speaking to me. While the jacket is sadly excluded from the promo, the lovely Silk Lowlight Lace-Inset Midi Dress ($150 + up to 30% off) and the super dreamy Julie Flat in Velvet ($150 + up to 30% off) are eligible, and speak to me so, so much.
I have a whole post devoted to velvet shoes coming up (because I love them, as I do nearly all things velvet) but it’s worth mentioning now that Madewell also has cute velvet heels in the Inez Ankle Strap Shoe ($158 + up to 30% off). Tell me that teal color isn’t lovely! Not velvety, but also lovely, is the Lainy Sandal in Metallic ($158 + up to 30% off). New Year’s Eve, anyone?
In truth Madewell does have some awesome gift ideas, especially via its giftwell guide! This sweater is going to a close friend for Hanukkah; these cards are going to be a great gag hostess gift for an upcoming holiday party; these boots are on my Hanukkah list; this Buffalo check top will be under my friend’s tree come Christmas; this mask is on its way to my friend who lives way out in New York’s North Country; this llama beanie is adorable; this necklace makes a great gift and has been a stalwart in my wardrobe for multiple years now.
What will you splurge on with up to 30% off at Madewell? I’ll give this its own post but just to mention, J.Crew is also running a promo right now: 30% off your purchase or 40% off $200+ with code PRESENTS.
