A Pre-Holiday Haul

Time to get a little shopping in, before the major holiday crowds take over! Here are a few of my finds...

I bought these at TJMAXX. They are so comfy. They're also available on sale at Macy's. 

Zappos sent me a gift certificate and I purchased this Stila brush kit. Amazing value for some great brushes!

I love Jeanne Pierre sweaters. They are usually at Marshall's or TJMaxx. They are cotton and warm without being too bulky. And they wear beautifully. Also easy to wash! I didn't have a brown sweater and this one has a cute shawl collar. 

I also bought these fun dangling earrings at Charlotte Russe.

Can't Be Tamed

I bought this dress at TJMAXX for only 12 dollars. I have tons of leopard but no dresses. Fun for a night out! Kept everything very minimal to not compete with the dress (minus my fuchsia lipstick)

Bloomingdale's Mini Haul

Along with my haul, that's my glass dining room table. Faux cherry blossom sprigs ( I love cherry blossoms!) Oh and some Chesapeake Bay Christmas candles in glass holders. Christmas in July? Then, there's Miss Audrey all the way in the back on my buffet table next to my wedding photo. (the same Audrey image that's on my sidebar :)

On to my mini haul...I love Bloomingdale's. But I have to admit I don't shop there very often and it's not for lack of desire! My budget sometimes has me on a tight leash, but once in a while I do have to break away. I just had to have these next items. Here's what I bought!

First is Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink. I have read so many reviews on this product and how fantastic it is, so I was excited to finally try it. Especially after attempting my winged eyeliner look with some other eyeliners that weren't getting the job done.



Then I bought these two necklaces. I couldn't decided between the gold or silver, so I was bad and purchased both (although I do prefer the gold I think). But I like to decide at home and then make returns! Do you guys do that? :) I first saw this necklace on one of my favorite bloggers', DulceCandy, site.  She always buys the cutest things! She bought hers at TJMaxx, but it wasn't available at my local TJ so I hunted it down. I am sure she got a better deal than I did, but I just really had to have it. 

The gold one is no longer available online, but might be found in stores. The silver one is still available on Bloomingdales.com


Bloomingdales, Saks, Michael Kors, LUSH, The Body Shop. All stores I love to visit, but are more like guilty pleasures. What are your favorite stores to treat yourself when you need a little gift or two?

F21 and TJ Maxx Springtime Haul

As I patiently wait for any signs of spring, I gathered some florals of my own...

This was from TJ Maxx, Has an exposed zipper on back. Very light and airy. 

 I got compliments on these Tommy Hilfiger shoes just trying them on in the store! 

Doesn't that make you really want to buy whatever you're trying on?


I also picked up these Sam Edelman flats...super comfy

Silk at Forever 21? Oh yeah.
Colorful mosaic top to add a little zing
