Great Shopping Finds!

I recently went into my local Rue21 and found some really great finds in their clearance section! I always love it when I find pretty pieces at cheap prices! Here are the items I got.

(1) Three polka dot cardigans at $6 a piece. (2) A sheer floral top with bow belt for $6. (3) Two cute watches at $2 a piece.

I've worn my cardigans and watches a lot this past week and have received lots of compliments. I hit the jackpot with these finds! :)

Blog Makeover and Shopping Highlights

The blog got a makeover! I wanted to mix things up, so I updated the layout on here. I decided to go with a minty green/blue and gray since those are two of my favorite color combinations right now. I still need to make a few tweaks here and there, but so far I'm liking the fresh new look!

I also went shopping today! Old Navy had some really great markdowns and since I also had to return some things to Target, I couldn't resist checking out their markdown section too. Sensing a trend? Yeah, I really love markdowns! Here's what I got.

 

From Top to Bottom:

Poplin-Crepe Dress $8.99 - Printed Cardigan $5.62 - Scrunchy Ballet Flats $6.73 - Teal Print Sun Dress $17.48 - Black Print Sun Dress $17.48

Things I'm Loving

I'm definitely loving the plethora of peasant tops I've been seeing lately. We even have some at Old Navy, where I work, that I definitely want to purchase when they go on sale. So far I've only purchased maybe 3 peasant style tops from Sears, Kohls, and Old Navy. Below are a few of my favorites from a few of my favorite stores.

Floral & Medallion Smocked Peasant Top @ Kohls























I scored this peasant top at Kohls for only $7.99! It was on sale at my local store for $17.99 and I had $10 Kohl's Cash that I put toward it. I love Kohl's for their great coupons and incentives.

Heart & Soul Embroidered Peasant Top @ Kohls























While browsing the Kohl's website, I came across this beauty. I love the simplicity and details all wrapped up in one shirt. Definitely wish they would have had this one on sale at my local store.

Gauze Mexicali Top @ Old Navy





















I have to definitely give a shout out to this Old Navy peasant top. It was the first one I saw that made me love this style all over again. When it came in at my store, I fell in love...but unfortunately it still hasn't went on sale. Even though I get a discount, I want it to be a bit cheaper before I buy it. I'm really loving the unique colored stitching and the sweet colored flowers at the top.

Siesta Peasant Top @ Forever 21























This peasant top has the most stitching detail of them all. I love how there is a bit of color and detail on every part of this top. The detail on the front is not only gorgeous but very authentic looking.

Black Friday!

Today is Black Friday and I shall be working 9 am - 6 pm at the outlets - hoping for a good day and to make our associate incentive and card goal for the month! Here's to Black Friday, haha. I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and a lovely shopping day!

Let the Holiday Shopping Season Begin

Next Friday is Black Friday - the biggest shopping day of the year and what some call the "official" day of the shopping season. I agree with that, but also believe that this weekend has been quite busy as well. As I prepare to work my retail job during this busy week, I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday and if you do go out to shop on Black Friday, be safe and find good deals!

Feature Friday #3

This week's featured shop is Meeting Street Designs.

This is one of my personal favorites! Everything offered in this lovely etsy shop is affordable, cute, and stylish! From ponies and hair clips to adorable paper clips and more! With so many designs to choose from, you are sure to find something for that special someone. There are even wonderful holiday inspired items, such as the Rudolph Holiday Hair Clips pictured to the left. You will definitely find a great gift for any and everyone this holiday season. Every item listed would make a lovely stocking stuffer or sweet present for someone looking to jazz up their accessories!

Feature Friday #1

I've decided to add a weekly/monthly post to my blog where I will choose a unique Etsy shop to feature on Fridays.

This week I have chosen The Monkey Shop.

I have always loved sock monkeys and I found the ones offered in this shop to be really unique and very adorable! I especially love the SavannahSock Monkey! Not only does this shop offer cute sock monkeys, but it also has some very cute sock dogs and puppies :) Specials are available as well as custom or wholesale orders. Such great gifts these would make!
