Take 30% off Final Sale with MUSTHAVE

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion.

J.Crew is offering an additional 30% off Final Sale with promo code MUSTHAVE. This offer expires Sunday, October 14, 2012. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid at jcrew.com for shipments to the U.S. and Canada only. Offer is not valid on Factory online items or at J.Crew retail or Factory stores. Offer does not apply to previous purchases or to the purchase of gift cards. 30% off discount applies only to J.Crew sale items at jcrew.com. Offer valid through Sunday, October 14, 2012, 11:59pm ET. Savings are applied at checkout with code MUSTHAVE. Offer is not valid on phone orders and cannot be combined with any other promotion. Limit one promotional code per order. Details of offer are subject to change.

It is nice to see that the percent off got bumped from 25% to 30%. Although I am curious if brick & mortar stores are offering an additional percent off too (and if so, how much)...

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? Any items you are interested in? If so, please share!

J.Crew's Jenna Lyons - Fall Line 2012

The following video is from CNBC's "J.Crew and the Man who Dressed America" special that aired back in May 2012.

The mini-interview is interesting. However, truth be told, I am scouring the mannequins for glimpses of what might be new additions to J.Crew's Fall 2012 line.

I also have to give credit to Jenna, she looks good in that sequin outfit of hers! I could (and would) never pull that off. But she does, and does it well.

What are your thoughts on the video? Did you spot any pieces that you already own or can't wait to see?
