Friday's Fab Finds

Sorry that it's been FOREVER since I've posted my fab finds! But, I am so excited to tell you all about these amazing booties by Report that I just scored at TJ Maxx for $40!! I am dying and so in love with them. I only saw them at 1 of the 2 TJ's I went to today, so maybe try a couple of them! RUN!

Mine have a black sole though and are only cut out on one side.

I Found It Cheaper

I wanted to share a couple items I found for cheaper, lately.
This J.Crew lace top was $110 in store, and Factory had it for I think maybe $85 (can't remember), which I luckily ended up scoring for $25.


I happened to be at Forever21 a month ago and happened upon these:

FOR REALS the only differences I can find are: non-scalloped sleeves, and no lining. It's $15 and seriously the same thing. Came in Ivory, Navy, and Red.

My next find- I bought these fabulous shoes from Nordy's at the beginning of summer:

I have LOVED these! They go with SO many things and are so comfy. Well don't worry I happened upon these:
 
They are on clearance right now at TARGET for $11! I am dying! The only difference is the snakeskin strap and the sole is a tiny different. They have black, cognac, and snakeskin. RUN people! I ended up buying these:

for $16. 

There is really no way of knowing I could find these finds when purchasing the others, so I'm still glad I bought them when I did, but still great finds!! Definitely keeping my eyes on Mossimo shoes. 

Fab Finds

Technically these are not Friday's Fab Finds, but, I wanted to share anyways. Tanger Outlets released their 20% off coupons on Thursday. This is my favorite time to hit the outlets for sure. Did you know you can use the 20% off on already discounted items, as long as it's not on clearance. For example, J. Crew always has things an additional 30% off. You can use the 20% off on top of this discount because it's not considered clearance. Sadly, I found nothing at J. Crew. BUT, GAP Outlet released a 40% off your purchase for today and tomorrow only. This was huge since they already had some really great deals! They had T's marked as low as $6.99 (not with the additional 40), shorts for $20 (came down to $12), and many other great finds! I also found Crew some flip flops for $4, sandals, and a complete swim outfit for $9 each.  Banana Republic had an additional 40% off everything- found a great blazer! For my favorite deal though, I found a dress from BCBG (beware of the pushy sales lady ;) ). I cannot wait to wear it to my May weddings! Successful day to PC. With the warm weather and some new clothes, I feel like a new person after today! :)

Friday's Fab Finds + It Kind Of Drives Me Crazy

Sometimes I hear people say "I don't have enough money to dress like you." I think it's such a misconception that you have to spend a lot of money in order to wear brand name clothing. I really want to spread the word, that it is simply NOT TRUE!! Granted there may be a little of an art to it, but it's just a matter of figuring out the system for your favorite stores. If anyone ever needs some tips, please feel free to ask! There have been plenty of times where my shirt from J. Crew cost as much, if not less, than the Target one (Love Target- LOVE, just an example).

With that said- Mom and I took a little trip up to Tanger P.C. yesterday. They were offering a FREE $10 gift card from Jan 1st-4th for their Facebook fans. Even though I'm shopped out from X-mas, I definitely wanted to take advantage.

J.Crew Factory:
Extra 40% off clearance!
Me: Sweater, blouse

Excited to pair this with camel, white, and prints!
The women's section was more picked over than anyone else's.

Tyler: Long sleeve T, but they had some great plaid shirts on sale! (I plaided Crew and Tyler out at Christmas or I would have bought a couple!)


Crew: (He is so close to fitting into Crewcuts! I am gathering and saving for the future. I am ecstatic about this...my wallet is not. ;) ) Short sleeve pocket T, half zip sweater, khaki shorts


All for $55! (Granted they gipped me $5-worst customer service I've ever received at a Crew as a whole-and the $5 isn't even why), everything I purchased was under $20 and a few under $10. Love it!

Polo Outlet:
Winter Clearance
Crew: Khaki shorts (totally diff than the JC ones)
Tyler loves polo: Polo, Dress shirt, and long sleeve T-
everything under $20!

p.s. almost always in store pricing is cheaper than online! :)

Cheap Toms

Honestly, it took me a while to give in to the Toms craze. However, I got my first pair for my b-day and I do love them. They are super comfy and so easy to wear to run to the store. I thought this was such a great find! Toms Outlet online store! The pairs I looked were all listed around $26.99. That's pretty great I think. I'm super tempted to try the boots. Anyone know anything about them?

These are one of my favs. So cute. The striped ones are all so cute too.

Friday's Fab Finds

The Outlets At Traverse were really fun. I am excited to have them down in the valley. I did find a cute X-mas shirt for Crew and a gift for SIL. GAP seemed to be having the best deals, but I didn't see anything I had to have. Since I hadn't really fulfilled my "super great find" desire, Tyler, Crew, and I headed up to Park City on Saturday (plus I had to exchange something, long story) and it was the place to be. Tyler found the most. He ended up with 3 pairs of Adidas, 1 pair of Nike golf shoes, + some matching Adidas for the babe for under $100. Score! Plus some clothes at Banana. Tanger, I believe, will continue to offer the best deals when the 20% off coupons come into play. (Other than that they had about the same pricing). At participating stores those can be used on top of already discounted items, just not clearance. It's still amazing! A few weeks ago I got a really pretty necklace at J.Crew for under $30 (can't remember exactly), reg $60 just by using their promotion with the add 20% off. Did you know even if you get them in the mail you can go over to the service center and they'll give you more? It ended up being dead up in P.C. for a Saturday. Which if you think about it, it really was smarter to go there for opening weekend since the crowds were at the new ones. :) I wish there were another way to predict outlet shopping, but it truly is just hit and miss. Wishing great finds for all of you.

Friday's Fab Finds

Downeast sure scored some points with me this week. Found these babies. Paige Verdugo Jegging in June Lake. Downeast carries them for $60. Right now they are having a sale on most of their items and these were half off. Yes Paige jeans for $30! Holla! Also, did you know some locations carry different things? Found out the location in Sugarhouse doesn't carry some brand because The Rack is so close and they sell similar items. Interesting. Check multiple places.


Target polka dot blouse
Remember when I said I searched EVERYWHERE for one of these last year? Not in love with the tie, but under things it's going to be a dream.
$22!

Friday's Fab Finds

In order to get myself into my pre-preg attire aka my whole closet, I started attending a Zumba class. Have you tried this? Granted this is the only one I've been to, I'm pretty sure it's the best. The cute instructor does current hip hop songs. It's so fun and so worth the 2 hours a week and 500 cal/class I burn. I will be the first to admit (and Tyler will second it) my workout gear is B. A. D.! I would wear old t-shirts and dance pants. Super sexy. Since I actually see people regularly I decided I better get some decent looking clothing. Happened upon a whole outfit and Forever21 today. It's darling and I couldn't be more thrilled. They had such a wide variety of clothes, not to mention a whole wall of colored ribbed tanks. Check it out if you're in the market for some cute stuff. 

p.s. their clearance is buy one get one free!

pants

$9.80

neon green v neck t

Free $$ From UHC

Do you have United Health Care Insurance? If you do, you can get a fee $75 gift card! Did you know? We found out about it a couple years ago. We recently are back on United's insurance, and each got our  FREE (although I'm sure we pay for it somehow haha) gift card. What you do is login to your account and take the health assessment. Once you've completed that, you'll receive an email (ours came the next day so be patient) with a link to a rewards website. You can choose from several cards. They have restaurants, apparel, spas. You can even divide your $75 among a couple cards. I got a GAP card each time. I love it! :) You can use it at any of the GAP Co. (old navy, banana republic, pipeline- etc.).
As a side note- I found this new app called Wrapp. It's really cool. You gift or "wrapp" gift cards you send to friends. You can add $ or just do free ones mainly for $5. I was able to get one from GAP- so yes $80 to GAP, FREE. Pretty killer deals if you ask me. (it has to be used in the store only though)

New Spectacles

I got these babies for FREE!! Yes FREE!! When I first heard of coastal.com doing this, I thought there was a catch for sure. Nope! I only had to pay for shipping for $9.95. I was so happy to find something like this. I didn't really want to pay $100 for trendy glasses. I love them!! If you're debating upgrading your lenses, you don't need to. I got the free ones and I'm at -3.25. They are fine, unless you want to. Until the 27th they are offering 50% off a lens upgrade. The code is FIRSTPAIRFREE. I also had to exchange my first pair and they were great about it!

H&M Littles

Are you sick of my H&M posts yet? Well, sorry if you are, but I have to tell you how much I am LOVING the baby section! Crew owns more H&M clothes than I do! I love them for the following reasons:

They are modern looking

They are inexpensive

They always have something new

They fit well

When I've needed to put something together for an event or pictures, I ALWAYS end up finding something great there. Since baby grows out of his clothes so quickly I love that I can leave with an outfit for around $20. There jeans are adorable! Most of their pants have adjustable buttons on the inside to loosen or tighten. Never thought my love for that place could be any stronger! I never would have guessed.

Found green pants for Crew on Friday. GREEN! They had cobalt and one other color (maybe red). $9.95! Thinking of pairing them with black pattern shirt and black cardi. 

Ummm This Was $7!

*pict found here*
At H&M! I was thrilled that I am short enough for it to work (I am 5' 5"- it hits me just above the knee). I was surprised at how cute it was on. Excited to have it. This will be such an easy thing to throw on and run out the door. If nothing else it will make a great swimsuit cover up. :) Did I mention it was $7?!

Friday's Fab Find

I have been in search of the "ultimate pacifier". What constitutes it as such? IT IS PLAIN! I love the Mam pacifiers. I love the shape of them and feel so much smaller on baby's face. The only problem... they are SO weird. :) Every once in a while I (or my mom) come across cute simple designs. Generally though they are too in your face for me. Well, I once saw these Mam's that were completely plain. Plain blue and green and pink (for the ladies obviously), I knew I had to have. I have been searching for them EVERYWHERE! May I ask why plain is such a hard concept for them? The only place that I could find was Amazon and they said "colors vary". Really don't want pink ones. Anyways, I FOUND SOME! At TJ MAXX. They are SO adorable and they came with a clip, bonus! Only problem- they are latex and fall out of his mouth. I am determined to make it stay. :) Oh the joys of random TJ MAXX. :)

Big Red

FINALLY! HERE is my fab find from black friday:

American Eagle Red Jegging

My sister-in-law Emily tipped me off to this great find! THANK YOU! They are seriously awesome! I was in the process of searching for a great pair! I ended up scoring these for $28! Wishing I would have bought the blue as well. They are a heavenly fit (and also the first pair of pants I bought post baby- so it added a little excitement ;) ) and so comfortable as well. There are so many things (surprisingly) that these go with! Thanks to Polyvore- these are some of my ideas of what to wear these with. I've actually already worn versions of the first two and loved it! ;)

Friday's Fab Find

No- it's not H&M related, I know you're shocked. I haven't officially been shopping there yet, even though I was there twice today... Anyways, TJ Maxx had these pretty babies for $50!! I really want the iphone case. Don't think hubby would be as thrilled about it as I am (he is the ipad owner). They had multiple colors.

Friday's Fab Find

I finally got my hands on a pair! A pair of what? These fabulous Sam Edelman boots! Shout out to my cousin Callie who originally found them and was gracious enough to pass on the great info. THANK YOU! Found them (finally, after days of hunting, and 1 pair literally being snatched out of my hands) at TJ MAXX for $70 Regularly $150.
