spinning like a girl in a brand new dress

After our heat wave in New Jersey on Easter, the weather has been cold and rainy for weeks! All of my spring dresses have been collecting dust in my closet because we had 60 degree weather making it not dress weather. On Sunday, it finally was warm enough to wear one of my new dresses from the Loft sale I got back in April. Unfortunately, it is sold out online, but it wouldn’t hurt to look in store! I did find a similar one here from Loft. Same dress, just sleeveless!

I wore it to work and all day I had strangers complimenting me on it. I wish I had post its on me so I could just give them the link to this dress because everyone wanted to know where I got it. A bit awkward when you are working at J. Crew and everyone wants to know where in the store your dress is ha!

This dress from the Loft was definitely worth every penny because it is super comfortable, but looks a little dressy too.

ready for spring

Hello, friends! I am popping onto the blog today to share an amazing sale with you. This is the cutest necklace I have ever seen and the best news is that it is on sale right now. It is less than $20 and perfect to wear with any outfit. I bought it yesterday and wore this outfit specifically so I could wear it to work today. When I first saw this I knew it was coming home with me and as soon as it went to clearance I bought it. Hurry and buy this because it won’t stay in stock for long! Get yours here.

Sunday Sales

I thought it would be fun to add a new series to the blog to share some sales with everyone. I consider myself to be a savvy shopper and will usually only buy things when they are on sale or clearance. Most of my feedback comes from people when I share items on sale on the blog or Instagram. So to make things easier for everyone, on Sundays I will do a roundup of my favorite items on sale that I think are worth the investment.

Let me know if you like this and want it to continue!

To make things even easier I am going to break it up by store or brand so it is nicely organized on here as well as share why I think it is worth the investment.

J. Crew Factory

Right now the store has 50% off everything! Lots of new arrivals this week making it almost impossible to leave the store without buying everything! Right now there are a lot of items that are fun to wear, but you can also wear them at work too. I will need to do another post later this week sharing my favorite summer fashion favorites because there are pineapples and flamingos everywhere in this store! Here are some of my favorite items right now…

rattan clutch // dot drop yellow earrings // cork clutch // printed pleated dress // eyelet sleeve t shirt //  winnie pant // long sleeve ruffle hem t-shirt // striped corded shell 

Loft

It is impossible to leave Loft without buying everything! Right now Loft has 40% off everything and items are selling out fast. Earlier this week I did some shopping and this is what I put in put in my cart. One thing I like about Loft is that they have unique items that are fun to wear, but also they are great for work. Most of my work tops are boring, so I will just wear a button down tucked in. Loft has amazing tops you can wear to work that aren’t blah!

love all night long

 

You know when you tell yourself that you are not going to buy anything for a week…and then you see something that you neeeed. Many of you know that I work retail part time and on my breaks I like to walk around the shopping center to get my steps in for the day. It is also a nice break to get away from the store for a bit. I will walk around a few stores and just browse, and I am usually really good at only browsing and not shopping! Recently, I was browsing and it turned into shopping because at the makeup store they had a big sale and I noticed that the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray was on sale. And I mean on *major* sale… I asked the girl working at the counter if Urban Decay was going out of business because the Setting Spray was only $15, a lot cheaper than it usually is! I got the scoop— Urban Decay is doing a rebranding of the product, same product just different packaging and they want to get all of the old style bottles off of the shelves. So run, don’t walk and pick one up! Right now online shopping only shows the newer styled bottles, so definitely visit Sephora or Ulta to get the marked down bottles.

I wear a lot of makeup and it is something I like to invest in because it is fun for me. I have heard numerous reviews of it and stole my college roommates on more than one occasion, but couldn’t spend the money on a setting spray. I mean, I take my makeup off in 12 hours so why does it matter? Or I can just reapply some powder if my makeup runs. I know it works, but I needed an incentive to go out and buy it. And at this price, it was an easy purchase.

The first day I used it, I was a bit skeptical if my makeup would look this good after a long day at work. I purposely wore it on a day I was working a busy Saturday at J. Crew because those days are crazy causing me to run around, get sweaty and work long hours. I am happy to report that after a long and tiring work day, my makeup was still intact!

LOFT Flash Sale

Hello, my friends! The Loft is having a sale right now and I thought that you all needed to know about it. It was originally on Monday, but because so many people went to the website to order, it crashed! I woke up this morning refreshing The Loft website and it was still down! On my lunch break at work I thought I would try again and I am happy I did! Continue reading “LOFT Flash Sale”
