Lands' End is one of my favorite brands. I own four Lands' End bathing suits because they suit my queen sized-ness without making me look like too much of a whale on the beach. Yes, they are pricey but we spend our summers in Hawaii and they get lots of wears. I also own at least 3, probably more like 4 of their cashmere sweaters, both their long-sleeved t's which are a staple of my winter wardrobe and cardigans which are a different staple of my winter wardrobe. Needless to say, I am a huge Lands' End fan. They are a beloved brand to me. I love that I can order online and know that the item will fit and I love their excellent customer service.
Last week, they offered to send me a women's Weatherly jacket and I jumped at the chance, are you kidding me? I am on the hunt for a new, sporty winter coat and this fits the bill nicely. I was tempted by all the colors, but in the end I chose a black one. I am so freakin' predictable.
Features include:
- Exclusive PolarThin™ insulation for warmth without bulk
- Fleece-lined patch outer pockets with side-entry handwarmer pockets
- Inside MP3 player and security pockets
- TEMPERATURE RATING: -10°/-5° Fahrenheit. Over layering pieces, this Weatherly Jacket will keep you warm in -10° weather; over a light layer, in -5° weather.
What I like about it: It's cute. It's sporty without being frumpy and it's warm.
What I don't: Is there such a thing as too many pockets? I wish the furry collar was made out of real faux fur instead of the nubby material used. Minor complaints.
Cost to you: $59.50
Cost to me: Free

Yay! Your bday is the same as my daughter's, she will be probably the same age as you - 22 right? Thought so.
I would love the half zip pullover.
Land's End is great for us plusser sized girls and they have the bestest color selections.
Posted by: Adrienne | October 19, 2008 at 09:15 PM
Are you kidding? Land's End RULES!!!
Not only that, but they have a rockin' set of uniforms that my kidlet wears for her school - love their stuff!
I'd be so awesomely thrilled to have a Women's Half-Zip Pullover - black like you of course! :)
Going to go retweet this mama!

Sherpa Fleece! Where I am it GETS COLD!
Posted by: Lisa E | October 19, 2008 at 09:23 PM
How fun! I didn't know Lands End did plus size - so um, that's a plus! I'll take the lands end sherpa in Light Cove Blue ;)
Posted by: The Aitch | October 19, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Yay for Lands' End. I'm a long-time happy customer. Gotta play the odds here - toss me in for the Half-Zip Pullover. :) Thanks!
Posted by: Kelly | October 19, 2008 at 09:32 PM
I would love the Half Zip Pullover! The Fleece one is nice but it's waaaayyy too thick for Louisiana Winters! By the way -- I saw your workshop at BWE and you are sooo not Whaley! Give yourself some cred, girlie because I think you look fab!
Posted by: Erika @ Chic Shopper Chick | October 19, 2008 at 09:35 PM
Oooh, I love Lands End fleece! I already have a half-zip pullover so if I win I'd love to try the Sherpa fleece. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Posted by: bonggamom | October 19, 2008 at 09:36 PM
All of my suits are Lands' End for the same reason, plus they hold up really well.
I'd love a sherpa fleece!
Posted by: kimberly/tippytoes | October 19, 2008 at 09:39 PM
Sherpa Fleece, puh leeeeeeze!! And Happy (early) Birthday!!
Posted by: CharmingBitch | October 19, 2008 at 09:40 PM
Wow! Gonna have to give Lands End a look. It's been a few years since I've thought of them.
Checking out http://www.landsend.com/ right now.
If by chance I am the selected winner of this contest... Mom will love the Half-zip Pullover.

I vote pullover! Also, you rock!
Posted by: Megan | October 19, 2008 at 10:10 PM
That half-zip pullover is sharp! I adore Land's End. They used to be the only seller of kids' pants with adjustable waists (for my tall skinny dude), but thankfully other places have jumped on that train.
Posted by: Karen Murphy | October 19, 2008 at 10:11 PM
I buy from Lands End ALL the time. My kids love their boots! The Women's Half-Zip Pullover would be perfect for me. I get cold easily in the winter and am always looking for a good layering piece!
Posted by: Carrie | October 19, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Half zip please! Thanks so much and happy, happy b-day to you!
Posted by: Lisa | October 19, 2008 at 10:18 PM
ooooh... pick me! I am a Lands End Junkie - especially their tank-tini bathing suits!
Posted by: Jill Asher | October 19, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Ohh, I love Lands' End! And I'd love to have a Sherpa Fleece! It would come in handy since Colorado is so cold in the winter!
Posted by: SJ | October 19, 2008 at 10:19 PM
I would love the half zip pullover in a very predictable black!
Posted by: Brooke | October 19, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Can't pass up a lottery with these odds! Half zip pull over please... My mother in law would be so proud.
Posted by: BLH | October 19, 2008 at 11:27 PM
I love Lands End too and am a huge fan of their no iron-no wrinkle dress shirts and their kids' snow boots. I'd love to win the Sherpa Fleece in Vivid Plum. Happy early birthday!
Posted by: Leticia- Tech Savvy Mama | October 20, 2008 at 01:24 AM
I'd love the sherpa fleece! It's getting really cold over here and my budget isn't supporting buying a winter coat :-(
Oh, the joys of being a poor college student!
Posted by: Mary | October 20, 2008 at 03:56 AM
I would love to win the half-zip pullover - I could have used one this morning! Brrrr!
Posted by: emily | October 20, 2008 at 04:50 AM
i love lands' end too - i've been wearing it since i was a little kid. can't go wrong with the quality. i'd love the pullover!!
Posted by: J. Fergie | October 20, 2008 at 05:52 AM
Love the pullovers, and prefer the half-zip pullover. It'd be perfect for working in the yard; warm without being too bulky and easily moves with the body.
Posted by: De in D.C. | October 20, 2008 at 06:10 AM
I love that jacket!
Both of those pullovers are awesome, but I looove the sherpa fleece. Looks cozy!
Posted by: Meg | October 20, 2008 at 06:45 AM
Women's Half-Zip Pullover - thanks!
Posted by: Kimberly/Mom in the City | October 20, 2008 at 07:55 AM
I would love the Half-Zip pullover! I am a huge Land's End fan as well. And am loving the kids clothes.
Happy (early) Birthday! I will have a drink for you! :)
Posted by: Jill | October 20, 2008 at 08:27 AM
I love the half-zip (and I agree with you about the Lands End bathing suits).
Posted by: Jeanne | October 20, 2008 at 11:28 AM
we LOVE lands end at our house. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
i'm in for the sherpa fleece, and because i'm...ahem...busty, i'm particularly thrilled to see the plus sizes.
happy birthday!
Posted by: liz | October 20, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I'd love the sherpa fleece in charcoal heather, although the brown argyle half-zip is tempting...
thanks!
Posted by: naomi | October 20, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Happy Birthday!!!!
I like the SHERPA! It looks so yummy and saaaaaahwft! Love, G

I'd like the pullover! yay fall!! :)
Posted by: Sarah Cool | October 20, 2008 at 06:28 PM
Half-zip pullover, please! I'm a huge Lands' End fan--have you tried their kids' backpacks? My son is using his for the third year, now, and when he outgrows it, I'm certain it will be in fine (that is, perfect) condition for his little brother!
Posted by: beebalm | October 20, 2008 at 06:50 PM
I love the half zip pullover. Thanks for the chance.

Ooooh, sherpa fleece! How perfectly cozy for those early morning preschool drop-offs... :)
And happy birthday to you!

OOh! Love Land's End. Sherpa Fleece, please. (and thank you.)
Happy Early Birthday!
Posted by: Beth | October 20, 2008 at 07:23 PM
I love the Sherpa Fleece. That looks like it would be toasty warm on cold park mornings.
Posted by: Karla | October 20, 2008 at 07:24 PM
PS I'm not sure when you got your hair cut but I LOVE the new style!!! (Many apologies if you did this forever ago and I'm only just now noticing...) Love, love, love the bangs!
Posted by: Beth | October 20, 2008 at 07:28 PM
I also love LE. I'd love the pullover - I am sure it would get into top rotation for me. :-)
Posted by: Dena | October 20, 2008 at 08:02 PM
Land's End has great stuff! I'd like the half-zip pullover.
Posted by: Jane | October 20, 2008 at 08:22 PM
Halffff Ziiippppp Pulloverrrrrr. Yeah. You are the one who turned me on to Land's End bathing suit separates this past summer. LOVE them!
And Happy Birthday early, Miss Thang! :)

I LOVE the sherpa fleece in vivid plum! Happy Birthday!!
Posted by: angela | October 20, 2008 at 09:03 PM
Ooh, the Women's Half-Zip Pullover is nice & so many cute colors to choose from!
Hope you have a good b-day!
Posted by: Sun | October 20, 2008 at 10:49 PM
I guess I will be the one different person....I am not usually a Land's End fan. I think the Sherpa Fleece has structure to it and I like that it is for multiple temperatures. If I win, I will enjoy this as I have a similar piece but tend to overheat when I wear it on tween temperature days.
Posted by: thebluestbutterfly | October 21, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Sherpa!

I like the half-zip pullover best...but both are lovely!
Happy birthday...it'll be your birthday here in two hours! :)
Posted by: carolie | October 21, 2008 at 05:59 AM
That jacket is cute- And way sleaker than my big down parka! (So I guess, that's my pick.)
Thanks for the coupon code- I just ordered a Dory jacket to get me through the fall feeling cute and warm!
Posted by: erin | October 21, 2008 at 06:27 AM
I hope tomorrow is a great birthday! Thanks for doing the giveaway. I've been hearing about Landsend quite a bit on various blogs. I am going to have to investigate - another excuse to shop - I love it!
Posted by: misstwists | October 21, 2008 at 07:07 AM
Sherpa fleece - that bus stop gets cold!
Posted by: ElizH | October 21, 2008 at 08:05 AM
I would love the half zip pullover - perfect for going to yoga in the winter. I haven't bought myself a new fleece like this since 1990!
Posted by: Mara | October 21, 2008 at 09:00 AM
Ooh, Sherpa me please!
Posted by: Midwest reader | October 21, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Hello! Happy birthday, mine is on the 30th and its my 30th birthday,(auuuuugh!) I am a brand new mama to my daughter from Haiti and now realize how much free time I had pre-toddler, I have not had a chance to buy a winter coat yet and would love to try Lands Ends clothing.
The Sherpa coat looks perfect-I love the Admiral Blue color.
Posted by: Tamia | October 21, 2008 at 12:49 PM
hear you on the lands end bathing suits.
we have just moved from Sunnyvale back to cold, cold Massachusetts.
I need the sherpa fleece for school pickups!
