Hauling!!! 07.17.10

Hi girls!!! Just thought I'd share some recent purchases with you! This is a collective haul purchased within the last few weeks.

I am quite a bargain shopper and LOVE getting great deals...Who doesn't right??!! I recently went to Express and went straight to the back to the clearance section. I only had so much money to shop with so I needed bargains! I got this great cropped jacket that was love at first sight! It was the only one and fit perfectly! Notice the details on the shoulders! L.O.V.E.!!!

I also picked up this basic white tee. It is big on me but that's okay! I like the baggy look sometimes! I picked this basic tee up because I loved the shoulder detail and the pocket!

Then I picked up this black top also from Express. I have to disclose that my friend Tricia owns this top and when she wore it I fell in love so I copied her (sorry!) and when I found it buried in the clearance section, I couldn't resist!!! Sorry, Tricia you had to pay full price! Don't you hate that??

On another shopping adventure I headed to Marshalls. I am usually not very successful at finding things there. But this time, I was able to find a couple things!

I got this great summer dress. I love the color, so pretty!

And I also picked up this cardigan...

And lastly I thought I'd show you some shoes I recently picked up! While shopping at Target for my BFF's 8 year old daughter's birthday I somehow ended up in the shoe department. I don't know how that happened but Target has tons of their shoes on clearance right now! And guess what I found???

The infamous Cynthia Vincent shoes in my size for $7.58!!! I couldn't believe it! They are super cute!

Then at DSW I had 2 $10 off coupons and was able to pick these BEAUTIFUL Carlos Santana shoes up for a mere $29.99!

Well that's it! Hope you all enjoyed! Bye for now!!!

Going on a short holiday!

Hello girls! Today's blog is just rambling about going on holiday! I am so excited. In a couple days I will be relaxing on the beach/poolside down in the Florida Keys for the first time ever! I have always wanted to go so I am really excited. So I figured I would post about my must take items and you can let me know if I am forgetting anything! First thing:

I love my Nikon "big fancy" SLR camera, but I am bad about not taking it anywhere with me cause it's so darn big and heavy! But I think it's a must to take it since I think there will be so many beautiful things to capture there.

My absolute favorite sunscreen. If you haven't checked out Paula's Choice products you must take a look at her website: http://beautypedia.com/

Paula's knowledge is amazing and has saved me SO much money. Before I buy any product I check her website for a review. She knows whether a product has the proper ingredients in it to do what it claims to do.

A super cute hat is a must! Nothing says I'm on holiday at the beach like a big sun hat!!

The strapless maxi dress! Soooo comfortable and perfect for holiday! I have a couple of these. Great to throw on to walk along the beach or through the little shops in town.

I will be taking only a little bit of makeup as I will be pretty laid back while I am there. Just going to focus on relaxing with my wonderful hubby and having fun!

Do you have any holidays planned?
