Exciting stuff! The Larkin family is giving away a $200 Visa gift card to shop our favorite Memorial Day sales, and we’ve rounded up our favorites below, too! Entering is super easy. :)
As always, simply comment in the comment section below to enter to win. You can say anything you’d like as long as it’s relatively nice and PG, but as Mitch is selecting the winner, bonus points for making us laugh, haha. (Though not necessary.) Also: please leave your e-mail in the following format so you don’t get spammed but we can reach you: username [at] domain [dot] com. The winner will be selected on Monday so she has time to shop the sales with her gift card!
Edit: There were so many amazing entries, and we read all of them on our drive back from the lake house! We were in stitches; thanks for making our car ride so much fun. The winner was randomly selected at 6:30 — congratulations to Mandi S.! Mandi, you’ve been e-mailed. :)
What are your plans for Memorial Day Weekend?! We’re hanging here tonight, and then headed down to the lake house mid-day tomorrow. It’s supposed to be amazingly hot–which is such the welcomed change for Chicagoans–and our only plans are swimming, boating, fishing, reading, napping and eating. :)
Good luck, Friends!

J.Crew Factory
Sale details: 50 percent off everything (including clearance and new arrivals) with code “WINWIN.” Can’t beat that. Did you see my J.Crew Factory feature?! SO EXCITED!
My picks: This seersucker bow-backed dress, this pleated jacket, this navy ric rac dress (and the matching ric rac jacket) are high on my list. (And how cute is this navy striped t-shirt dress?) Favorites from my personal closet include this blue striped dress, this navy striped skirt, the huarache sandals, this striped bow skirt, the gingham sleeve navy dress, these chambray bow pants, and these “easy” pull-on dress pants.

J.Crew
Sale details:
Use code “GETAWAY” to take 40 percent off your order. Discount code applies to products that normally don’t go on sale, which is so nice!
My picks:
Right now, I’m SUPER into basics and staples, and J.Crew reigns in this department.
The all-star of the J.Crew sale, in my opinion, is the Everyday Cashmere Sweater. (OMG.) It almost never goes on sale, and it’s currently 40 percent off, making it super affordable. I’m truly obsessed with it, and I wish I had like 15 of them, haha. The quality and softness are off the charts, and I reach for them constantly. I will say, however, that they run small. I like my sweaters slightly oversized, so I went up to a size medium. But I’d recommend going up at least one size unless you like your sweaters very fitted. :)
Also, the Regent Blazer in Camel is BACK. I know it’s summer, but definitely grab this for the fall before it sells out. I can’t tell you how many readers email me asking me for it come September/October!
My other must-haves (all of which I wear on the reg) include:
The Easy Pant in linen and crepe, this white button-down (size up!), the v-neck camisole (looks like silk but it’s machine-washable), the red-and-blue striped boy shirt, the chambray button-down, the amazing sweater blazer (I have it in camel and light pink!), the classic jean jacket in denim and white, this striped tunic, the classic multi-strand pearl necklace, and my favorite pajamas ever.
In my cart? This drapey top, this navy shirt dress, and these leopard sandals. <– Kind of crazy but I love.

Tuckernuck
Sale details: Up to 50 percent off the sale, which includes over 300 new markdowns. No code necessary; shipping is free!
My picks: Tuckernuck’s Memorial Day Sale is AH-MAH-ZING. The winner has to be the red tote, by the same company that makes the famous one-size-fits-all striped top. (It’s not on sale but GET IT. It’s fabulous, and without a doubt my most-worn striped shirt.) But I’m also nuts about this little lace dress and all the Barbour on sale! Also loving this MDS Stripes dress, this essential striped button-down (in solid blue, too!), this gorgeous white dress, this navy Rebecca Taylor dress, these Sperry duck boots (SO comfy!), and this beautiful embroidered skirt.

My picks: As you know, I’m OBSESSED with Mark and Graham. (Did you know that it’s owned by Pottery Barn?!) I have this Caitlin Wilson floral tote, this Elisabetta slouch tote, and this very affordable initial necklace with the “K,” “M” and “E” charms. I also got this overnight bag for Mitch for Father’s Day (shhhh; but it’s fine because there’s no way he’s reading this, haha) and my eye is on the Terminal 1 luggage in white or navy. And then there’s this straw bag in navy and white and this gold signet ring. Everything is just TOO good! Other faves above. :)
