  • Are you a Madewell fan? Here’s a little history on the brand.
  • Oops – I misspoke in the last brain dump. Uniqlo’s big anniversary sale is still going on and there’s an additional $5 off $100 coupon.

    • NYCers, read on. You can get a $10 statement credit for each $50 spent at participating NYC retailers, up to three times!
