Macy's F&F Sale, $30 Guess Leather Jacket Dupe, McDonald's Sanrio/Hello Kitty Watches, & FOTD!!

Happy Sunday everyone! I just wanted to remind you all that Macy's is having their Friends & Family sale (25% off most things in the store) and I went to pick up some Christmas gifts. I'm SO HAPPY to say that I'm almost done -just need to finish up my sisters, auntie's, boyfriend's parents', and boyfriend's presents.
 Here are the details. I don't get why they pratically NEVER include cosmetics for any of their sales.
Now onto the jacket.. I was looking around all week on Macys.com for a leather or faux leather jacket (doesn't matter much to me -I'll invest in a real leather jacket later on.) I found the Jou Jou Faux leather Motorcyle Jacket for $29.99 discounted from it's original price of $59.99. I originally wanted Black and Caramel but when I went to the store on Thursday, I only found Black and Tobacco but fell in love with Tobacco! BUT, they only had a limited selection of x-small, medium, and large (with colors like yellow, beige, and tan -they only had like 3 of the Tobacco and 1 of the black! The cashier looked up the stores nearby and nearly all of them were sold out as well. So, I crossed my fingers and went home -hoping they didn't sell out yet.
When I got home, I was glad to see Black and Tobacco still available in Small and my boyfriend bought them both for me! =) But now that I just checked, they also have Caramel so I'm kind of mad because I want that too. Oh well.. I think 3 jackets in different colors is pushing it.

But anyways, here's the Guess comparison..

Guess (left), Jou Jou (right)
Ok.. don't they look nearly identical?! Both have all the same details from the seaming, silver zipper, ribbed detail (waist and end of sleeves), chest pockets, and ruffled collar. The collar on the Guess jacket is larger but I like the smaller collar on the Jou Jou one much more. Also, the faux leather leather (I'm 95% sure it was faux) of the Guess jacket is shinier while the Jou Jou jacket has duller leather -which I also like. The only thing is that the Guess jacket is thicker but that's a given. The price of the Guess jacket was around $130 to $160 -I honestly can't remember but I remember thinking, "Wow, this is 5 times the price of one Jou Jou jacket." Also, the Jou Jou jacket is on sale online for $29.99 but in stores it's $39.99. (P.S. I cannot find a link for the Guess jacket! Sorry!)
If you're interested in the Jou Jou jacket, I recommend going one size up. I'm an x-small in nearly all my jackets and coats but this jacket runs small. The x-small fit me OK but it was too cropped and I wanted it to above my hip. Otherwise, it would be at my waist and all my sweaters and and shirts would be sticking out!
Yesterday, I also got part of my sister's birthday present -a winter hat that looks like a dragon! She likes Wizards, Magic, and all those things so I figured she'd love this. She's also born the year of the dragon so that works too. The stupid thing was that the 25% off didn't apply to this since it's an "everyday value" though I don't think it's much of a "value" at all. They only have a few versions online but you can find it here. In store, they have others including a penguin, beaver, frog, a few dogs, a few monkeys, and many more.
And also, McDonald's current happy meal toys include Sanrio/Hello Kitty and Transformers! I had no idea that they were having Sanrio character watches so in the last few days, I've been trying to collect them all. I found Badtz-Maru Thursday morning, my mom got me Keroppi yesterday, and before my boyfriend came over, he stopped by the McDonalds near his house and got me Shirousa (Sugarbunnies.) Then, we went to Walmart last night and found Chococat and Kurousa (Sugarbunnies.) AND, I was really happy because the guy gave me Chococat, Kurousa, Badtz-Maru, and some Sanrio pamphlets all for free. =) Other McDonalds always make you buy the toys if you're buying them separate. Hello Kitty leaves McDonalds on December 16th so I have to go on a mad hunt for Hello Kitty and My Melody.

They also currently have Transformers. Hello Kitty and Transformers? What more can a kid want?

Here are the watches I have so far (gave my extra Badtz away.)

  5. Aww thanks for this post. My sis in law works at a shiseido counter inside Macy's and gave me a bunch of these coupons. I hate their sales..it always excludes ALOT of stuff. That hat is really cute. They sold out on some at Children's Place. I want to get them for my two boys so bad. Looking for a monster or dinosaur one.

    Ive been trying to collect those watches too. I need Kerropi & My melody. They have a bunch of HK here. They're hard to adjust too. My itty bitty finger hurts from it.

  12. @ Women Leather Skirts.. Thank you =)

    @ Pop Champagne.. Mine too. =) But it's funny because he wanted my Badtz-Maru watch. =P

    And agh.. people can be so stupid! Japanese people DON'T all look the same. And I hate when people say all Asians look alike and assume that because you're Asian, you have to be Chinese or Korean.
