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:).

Merry early Christmas

I posted photos of this bag last week when hubby and I scooped up the last one at the Macy's pre-sale for friends and family. I originally was going in to purchase the Hamilton in black with silver but then I saw this bag and with the discount it was the same price as the smaller Hamilton I wanted.

This bag is amazing! It was out of stock at every Macy's in my area and it is gorgeous. Black python looking leather with silver chain detail and is large which I love! This is my fifth Michael Kors purse my first was the Astor black and silver two years ago which I still carry all the time. I have a couple of other bags, a green one, brown smaller cross body I got for vacation, white Julian bag with silver and then have another medium black hobo all leather. I won the brown jet set tote this week which I posted and have said I'm not the biggest fan of monogram bags. About five years ago I had the coach, dooney, and Gucci monogram canvas bags don't care for them anymore but the one that I won isn't canvas it's vinyl and it's dark brown resembles a Louis purse. It came on Tuesday and was shocked.

This bag hubby got me is amazing. Got the wallet on my wish list now. It is perfect cause can be worn with jeans or with dressy outfit. It is amazing love love love it:). Waiting for a cool front to rock it with my new black and silver leather boots, and black skinny Miss Me silver and black rhinestone jeans. Will post pics when that happens which may be awhile being that I live in sunny south Florida lol.

Let me know what you think of my new bag and I have been cleaning out my closet found a Michael Kors mini wallet with key chain holder I may giveaway just in time for Christmas or an iPhone 4/4s case from Michael Kors will keep you posted:).

This bag was purchased last week during the pre sale retailed for $398 got it for $298 and picked it up from Macy's on Wed:). Not sure if sale has ended just had an email yesterday so may still be available

TJ Maxx Michael Kors deals 11/29

I was at TJ Maxx looking today and came across a couple great Michael Kors handbags for those style buy budget orientated ladies out there. I have champagne taste on a wine budget not beer a little higher but I still am not into paying full price sometimes i would rather get a good deal iiso I can buy more:). Also when I find a good deal I get a little rush. I am still over the moon about winning the Michael Kors jet set bag. I am always entering contests on websites, blogs and other promotions I discover surfing the web. I thought it was a scam and was Leary when contacted but when the box arrived and I opened it I was so excited. So was my hubby lol. He did buy me an amazing bag for an early Christmas gift on sale at Macy's for the friends and family promotion this week. He pre bought it last week cause it was the last one and I absolutely love it. I will post a photo in another post and my bag I won is in a previous post. Below are the two I saw today. One is similar to the jet set in tan with canvas. Has the MK logo and is cool it can snap closed so the sides fold in or you can snap the straps down so it looks like the 198 version also. This one retailed for 168 or 148 I believe and was 119. Also a metallic gold bag the retailed for 298 and was 179 I believe the price tags should be visible in photos. I always try to get the tag so you can see the savings. I know my TJ Maxx gets new shipments every Tuesday and Thursday they put new stuff out Thursday night and Friday for the weekend. I didn't have much time so I only got pics of these two but also had gorgeous coach, Steve madden, nine west, and many other designer brands.

Love to hear about you finds also enjoy. Happy designer deal hunting and now is a great time with holidays around the corner to grab up gifts for friends and family or for you:).
