Marshall's and TJ Maxx purses.

Lately my local Marshall's and TJ Maxx have had huge shipments of Michael Kors, Juicy, Coach, Jessica Simpson and other nice bags also in gorgeous bright colors along with pastels for spring and summer.

Last week before payday I was browsing Marshall's waiting for my little one to get out of school and came across a Michael Kor's Hamilton purse in silver. I have wanted a Hamilton for a little while but at Christmas time when Macy's had their friends and family sale I went for a dressier black python bag with silver chain and hardware cause I couldn't resist for the price. Then entered an online contest to win one of three Michael Kors bags and actually won a jet set tote which I would have never bought but was pleased with cause it isn't the usual canvas material rather a nice almost PVC material, which I love because the canvas ones stain and get dirty/fade quickly if you carry it a lot.

I didn't get the Hamilton bag and once I got home I was mad! Even if you don't have the cash at the time both Marshall's and TJ Maxx have layaway so it makes it easier to not miss out in a great find. My main reason for passing up was I really want turquoise or bright color or a black one.

I figured keep looking so that is what I have been doing. I frequent these stores often since both are close to home and my daughter's school. Every Tuesday and Thursday around 9:30-11 they roll out the new freight and stock the shelves. Today my mom and I walked into TJ Maxx as they were unpacking. I was excited but unfortunately didn't fall in love with any of the ones they got in today:(. Then Marshall's is always either a hit or miss today they had a couple but none again I had to have. I have been carrying around forty bucks to throw one on layaway as soon as I find it but hasn't happened.

I took photos of the ones I liked at TJ Maxx at let me tell you there was several ladies who walked in a filled their carts. Most were canvas ones and a few totes they all ranged from 119 up to 249. I tend to like an all leather bag usually but some of these were super cute. I am holding out for a bright color or all leather black bag for now and I know if I'm patient I will find one especially since passed few weeks they have been getting ALOT!

Enjoy the photos of the bags below. All the ones I took pictures of we're $179 and $199. I almost got the gray or blue one and liked the black canvas that has the Hamilton outlet look. My mom liked the brown and ran canvas with orange accents. Again I like silver hardware on my bags but if I really like one and the price is good I will buy one with gold:).

Happy deal hunting and stay posted have my Feb Julep box review along with some photos and review for the LA Idol jeans I purchased online:).

Fashion deals, maxi dresses.

I have two amazing deals for this week that I found and want to share. I love long maxi dresses. Lately I have gotten into the tie dye pattern also. I ran into Marshall's to grab my youngest some socks for her bob's, the kind that you can't see when you have the shoe on. They didn't have any in her size I actually found some at Payless next to Marshall's but I was walking by the back aisle where the clearance rack is and saw a long dress the looked interesting under all the shorter dresses. I pulled it out and it was a Gypsy 05 maxi! I have wanted one of these and a sky maxi forever but they are way to expensive for me. I am one who refuses to pay retail price for anything but I love designer brands. The quality is just amazing compared to regular cheaper brands.

I didn't have time to try it on and it was a large. I usually wear a medium but with my larger twins I can sometimes do a large as long as it doesn't make me look big or pregnant. I figured buy it now and try it on later at home so that is what I did. It normally retails for around 150-220 but was 49.99 then 39.99 when I got to the register it rang up 16.00??? I was shocked but didn't complain lol.

Next up I got this long blue and white tie dye tank maxi from victoria secret clearance sale online. My mom actually bought it for me as a late birthday gift it was on sale for $29.99 from I believe 79.99. I fits amazing. I have a medium and it is perfect. Super comfy and hugs all the right places.

The Gypsy 05 dress is 100% silk and has a tie dye kind of look to it. Also has a ruffle on top. It is strapless and has a fitted elastic right under the breast area then flows down. I haven't worn it yet but can't wait to get to:) this week I will for sure, it's been raining here all week so been sweats or jeans kind of weather.

That same day @ Marshall's I got my daughter a pair of tomahawks which are popular in middle school and high school age girls. They are moccasins and I remember when these were in style when I was a kid. I almost got a pink pair for my youngest cause they were only $12 the ones I got my daughter were Marshall's already lower price of $39.99 but on clearance for $15. What a deal.

I have been working on updating my kids bathroom which is a fashion diva themed bathroom with purses, shows, makeup. Perfume etc. I want a Paris fashion theme now and instead of hot pink and black I'm working in silver and a more medium pink shade. I found the shower curtain and accessories at the Kmart outlet by my house which I will have in a future post. Anyways I grabbed this Paris box for $2.99 for them to store their hair bands and clips in:). Cute isn't it. Fits the theme ad color scheme perfect.

Check out the photos of the deals below and I will get together a post for the amazing super clearance bathroom stuff I grabbed at Kmart. Please share with me your fashion finds, Marshall's/TJ Maxx deals these are two of my favorite stores even find amazing cheap priced OPI, Nicole by OPI, Deborah Lippmann and Essie there! I always love to see or hear about what everyone else is finding out there or trending:).
