While I don't buy a ton from them, I appreciate L.L. Bean as classic prepster, and think their Signature line has some interesting pieces (with a bit of a 70's vibe going). They can always be counted on for quality and customer service. They're currently offering a pretty rare site-wide 15% off discount with code JTF2664. You'll also receive a $10 giftcard when you spend $50. They always offer free shipping now, no minimum (love). Definitely check out some of the sale items for great deals on fall/winter.
Here are some of the pieces I've been eyeing:
Signature L.L. Bean Boots -- I've been watching these in the black/brown version for a while now, and with the discount, they're now down to just over $100, which is pretty reasonable for a boot you just know is going to last for ages. (Even full price it's a good deal.) I like the idea of having a lower boot ready for rain and slush, and love that it's black and brown -- goes with anything.
Stacked Heel -- These are super cute and, based on Egyptomaniac's awesome review, very comfortable. The wooden heel reminds me of J.Crew's fabulous Juliet pump of yore. Great price.
Cotton/Silk Flannel Bias Dress -- I kept waiting for a bigger price drop in this dress, and it doesn't seem likely to happen (Dani -- if you see this, I can't find the link?), b/c it's selling out at this price. I believe Danibp has this one in the darker colorway and gave it high marks. I may have to try out the lighter color.
Ducktrap Boots -- If you can pull off a high wedge, I really dig these booties, especially in a rare navy.
Poplin Dress, Stripe -- The reviews note that the skirt part is quite full, so it seems to be more of a party skirt. Looks so adorable. Wish I had a garden party to attend!
Cotton-Linen Dress -- Golden Cider is left and it looks really pretty and classic.
Saltwash Canvas Bowling Bag -- Love this in both colorways! Will go with anything.
Wool Tweed Hacking Jacket -- Total classic and can be worn as a fall coat as well. Looks to be the usual high quality expected from L.L. Bean, in 100% wool, with details like leather buttons, elbow patches and under-collar trim. The belt is a nice touch as well. Great reviews.
Will you be trying out anything with this sale? Have you seen any of these IRL?
Have a great day!








OH! These are so tempting - especially that wool coat and the party dress! If only my grad student budget could afford another splurge!

Aren't they cute? I know, I wish sometimes that I had an endless budget. ;)
DeleteThanks so much for posting that coupon code! I had placed an order this morning and didn't know about the code. You just put $22 back in my pocket ! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! Did you get anything fun?
DeleteSadly no, just practical shoes for my kid. I was tempted by the Signature boots, the stacked heels and the dresses you posted, though.
Deletefor some reason, cannot get the code to work..?? does it work on everything? trying to order a tote bag, so of course, totes are probably excluded..??
ReplyDeleteHm, it seems to be taking off the 15% for the tote I tried out. Let me see if there are any other codes out there?
DeleteI placed my order by phone, so you could try that if it doesn't work. They took off the 15%, and said they would mail the $10 gift card.
