This week was chock full of bits and pieces. I have lots of family in from out of town this summer (I don't have as much free time) so you'll have to deal with my super long blog posts. Grab a coffee and let's get started.
After a few misses,
Rocksbox sent me a bunch of cute pieces. I know I've explained it a few times but I still have people asking me what it is. In short, it's like Netflix for jewelry. You create a wishlist and they send you three pieces at a time to borrow or buy. It comes with a prepaid label and a reusable bag that you can drop in the mailbox to trade for a new set when you're ready. They charge $19 a month for this service - but with code SHOPPINGGALXOXO you can get your first month free! It's easy to cancel so there is no long term commitment. It's a great way to try before you buy and see what styles work for you.
Details: Bracelet is Loren Hope (love!), earrings are Ashiana London and necklace is Robyn Rhodes.

This past Monday I kicked off the week by hitting the Jersey Shore. Little did I know that I should have been making my rounds to all the local TJs and Marshalls. Yellow sticker markdowns are now if full effect. I had a feeling it was coming but for some reason I thought it would be Thursday. Missing that first day meant missing out on all the high-end designer pieces and super cheap odds and ends. Despite my disadvantage, I still managed to find a few goodies.
I planned on taking some pics at the beach to show you my new $3 H&M dress that I paired with my recently repaired Cavalli sunglasses (last year C21, $15-ish) and $20 LK Bennett Summer sample sale shoes, but when you go with 8 kids...things don't always go as planned.
Bright and early the next morning I began my yellow sticker hunt. I started at my favorite TJ Maxx Runway location and it was already picked over. Oh well.
I did spot this cute Young, Broke and Fabulous romper that probably retailed for $150, and was marked down to $15 (was $50) but shorts aren't for me right now.
After a couple more trips I collected a few random pieces.
This Margot leather bucket bag was marked down to $20 and they actually go really well with my new $29 House of Harlow Esperanza shoes. They are super comfortable and have that ugly/cool look. I'm gonna play with them and see if I can make them work.
A lady should always have a pretty pen so I splurged on these Sheaffer and Cross pens for $3 & $5 each.
My youngest daughter has been begging me for a new perfume so I grabbed this Demeter Cherry Blossom for $5.
I usually stock up on hair supplies at this sale to supplement my free stuff from hair modeling. I usually look for fancy dry shampoo but all I found was hairspray. After I finish reading reviews on these I'll probably take a couple back.
And sadly that's all. I'll get 'em good next round. On the other hand, I randomly popped into H&M and really hit the jackpot this time. $1 bras and swimtops? Yes, please!
The $3 sale was still going on so I picked up this white denim jacket :)
I've been doing a lot of Target runs with my SIL who is in from out of the country so I've been spending more time than usual in the women's department. Spied this super cute Free People-ish Mossimo dress for just $22.99. They have it
online only in plus size right now AND it's also buy 1 get 1 50% off.
I've also spotted some Lilly Pullitzer pieces at 50% off still hanging around. Take a peek at your local stores to see what pops up :)
Heard these muli-packs of girls panties were super cheap but I only found one set. They rang up item not found so the cashier gave them to me for $1.50. Score!
Some of my favorite Gilligan & O‘Malley thongs were marked down to $2.50 (usually $5 each) but I just noticed that they sell them
online for 7 for $20!!! Stock up in black and nude, ladies! These stay in place and are invisible - I forget I'm even wearing them they are so good.

I've been stalking Century and they are still holding strong at 65% off. I did notice that they are having a Fall designer trunk show in Paramus, NJ from August 19-22. They always have some beautiful high end pieces to look at but prices still tend to be a little high for me.
While looking thru clearance kids shoes I found these adorable Little Marc Jacobs mouse booties for $39.99. So stinking cute!
And you know I never shop for non-sale items but when I saw my SIL trying on these Report Signature fringed flats I had to have them. They look very expensive are just $40! Best part is they are available on
c21stores.com in black and brown in sizes 6-10. The brown is a little light for my taste but the black is amazing. Don't worry, you'll be seeing some mod shots pretty soon :)
Last but not least I went to Nordstrom to buy this MAC eye liner pot that was used on my super sensitive eyes (without a problem) the last time I hair modeled. I never did a black liner before (I usually prefer color) but they made my hazel eyes pop. The color is Blacktrack and it was just $16.50. I'll be doing lots of black cat eyes this Fall :)
That's all for now! FYI, still have lots of available goodies left in my
blog sale. Have a great weekend and happy shopping!
XOXO
