TJ Maxx Summer Love Haul

It has been quite a while since my last blog post. Long story short: JUNIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE. 

In today's post, I'm going to show you some of my most recent TJ Maxx finds for the warmer weather. TJ Maxx will forever be my favorite store. They have the best clothes, the best coffee mugs, the best shoes, the best deals, the best EVERYTHING.

This first top is a crochet crop top. I cut off the tag because it was long and poked out the back, so I don't know the brand of this top. I didn't think I would fall into the whole crop top high waisted shorts/skirts trend, but this tank was too cute to resist. It has floral detailing on the straps and down the middle, with a few adorable vintage buttons on it. This item must be hand washed.

$12.99

 This is my favorite top of the bunch because of the adorable pattern and the color palette! This is from the brand one clothing. On the hanger it appears to have no shape. But once it is worn, it is very flowy and looks much better. I love the zig zag tribal pattern and the purple hues. This will get a lot of wear time this summer, for sure! The material is a very nice polyester material, but it must be hand washed.

$9.99

This tank top is also from the brand one clothing. I don't own anything this color or this vibrant. This is essentially the same tank as the one above, except for a different pattern and it has a low v neck. I love the bright blue color with the tribal pink pattern. The material is very nice polyester material, but it must be hand washed.

$9.99

 The first 3 tanks look adorable with high waisted shorts and skirts. I think you could get away with just wearing a nude colored bra underneath them, but I will most likely wear a tank top or bandeau underneath them as well when I wear them to class. The only reason I say that is because they are a little loose and flowy, so your bra might show on the sides. 


This adorable daisy tank with the words "NEVER STOP DREAMING" printed on it is also from the brand one clothing. It is another flowy tank top that will look so cute paired with denim shorts or jeans. I will probably pair this with a black bandeau underneath because it is a bit on the sheer side. But the material is so nice and light for the warm weather. This top can be washed in a washer.

$9.99

This last top is also from the brand one clothing. (all of my favorite tops from TJ Maxx are from one clothing...) The top is a nice cream color, and has a daisy crochet lacey pattern that is absolutely darling. The daisy pattern goes down the middle, and this is a high-low top. This item must be hand washed.

$12.99

I have wanted high waisted denim shorts for a while, but I saw these black ones and just had to have them! I absolutely love the 3 buttons on the top. So darling! I like these because they are dressier than jeans shorts, but can certainly be casual as well. These look very cute with all of the tops I showed above. They also pair well with sheer long sleeved button up blouses for a dressier look. They are the brand Ci Sono. The material is a mix of polyester, nylon, and spandex. They are super comfortable and they aren't too short. These can be washed in a washer. 

$12.99

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of oxfords for a while. I found a pair at Charlotte Russe that gave me horrible blisters, but they were so cute. THESE ARE WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF. I saw a similar pair on Pinterest, so I was so excited to find these at TJ Maxx. I believe they were under $30, but I can't quite remember. They are the brand Report. The leather is so soft and feels worn in. The white lace/crochet is so cute. I love that it has an open design- this is perfect for the spring and summer weather! These are a half size too large for me, so I inserted heel pads, band aids, and I wear no show socks with them to help them fit better.

$29.99...I think?

I hope that you enjoyed seeing my latest TJ Maxx finds! If you are a bargain hunter like me and you love adorable clothes, GET THEE TO A TJ MAXX IMMEDIATELY! 

Latest Target Haul!

Hello there! I have recently been spending money that I don't have left and right. I buy things on impulse too often. It's a real problem. But I was in Target about a week ago, and picked up a lot of basic products that I was running out of. All of these products I bought were things I really wanted to try, and had not previously owned (with the exception of the  mascara and concealer pen). Let's jump into the haul!

Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream

Olay Wet Cleansing Cloths

I was running out of my current daily moisturizer (Aveeno Ultra Calming), and I was kind of tired of my Pond's Dry Skin cream that I use every night. I saw this Garnier Gel Cream, and I was intrigued. I've been using it day and night the last few days, and I really enjoy this! The gel is super refreshing, and it smells amazing!

The Olay wipes are pretty good at removing make up and making my face feel clean. My only complaint is that this stings my eye pretty badly. I don't go around touching my bare eyeball with these. But the moisture burns my eyes somehow. I don't like that very much.

Sinful Colors 24/7

Revlon Colorstay top coat

I've been wanting to pick both of these up, and finally did it! 24/7 is a bright hot neon pink. I have it on my toes and love it! The top coat is fantastic! It really makes my nails shine, and the polish lasts longer. Also, the brush is really interesting because it has two brushes as you can see in the picture. Makes application easier.

 Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer in Nude

Maybelline Master Precise liner

Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals palette

If it isn't apparent, I really like Maybelline products. It's one of my most bought brands. It isn't my favorite brand, but definitely a go-to for certain things like liners and face products. I had already owned the concealer in Buff. I couldn't find that shade, and sadly Nude isn't quite for me. Good product for the under eye area though. I can't find the Line Stiletto liquid liner anymore so I'm assuming it is being discontinued, but this liner pen works even better! Very easy to use and very opaque. I've been wanting this Sunbaked Neutrals palette for a while and decided to get it for travel. Great pigmentation, and fabulous for everyday wear.

Revlon PhotoReady concealer in 002 Light

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation in 200 Sand Beige

Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting primer

I love Revlon lip and nail products, and I have always wanted to give they're face products a try. So far, I am incredibly pleased with the quality of these. Revlon truly is the high-end of the drugstore world. The concealer only came in two shades, and this one was the closest to me. I like it for covering redness, but it doesn't cover blemishes very well. I have been dying to try this Whipped foundation. I was worried I wouldn't choose the correct shade for my skin, but miraculously chose the perfect shade for me! I love how this applies and it truly STAYS all day! Even without the primer. Speaking of primer, I had never used a primer in my life, but thought this would be good for really long days. I really like it so far! Does a good job of extending my foundation's wear, which already wears long on its own.

ELF Studio Blush in Pink Passion

Elf Studio Blush in Tickled Pink

Elf Studio Blush in Mellow Mauve

Elf Studio Brow Kit in Medium

I REALLY love these four products! The blushes are fantastic quality, and I adore the packaging. Tickled Pink is my perfect everyday color. Pink Passion is a tad bit chalky, but look how bright it is! The brow kit is decent. I used to never do my brows, but now I like to define them a bit. I think if they had a dark kit, that would suit me better. But this does a nice job of defining my brows.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest Target haul! I am very pleased with all of these products.

TJ Maxx Summer Fashion Haul!

Hello there! My current favorite place to shop is TJ Maxx. I had never even been in one until about a year ago. But as of right now, it is my #1 place to shop! They have such great things at great prices! I have a few clothing items I've picked up over the summer that I'd like to share with you!

Sans Souci lace shorts $16.99: The lace is tiered and can be lifted up. The legs of the shorts are scalloped. These are my only pair of lace shorts, but I love them so much! They are just so cute! You can dress them up or down. They really add more dimension to my pretty bland wardrobe. These shorts zip on the side, and they are a bit high waisted. These go with a lot of tops that I have. Like I said, these can be quite dressy or a little casual, just depends on what you pair with it! I definitely want to pick up a different pair of lace shorts, preferably in black or navy! Great item to have in your wardrobe.

Gorgeous sheer polka dot top $12.99: This top is a really simple piece. It is sheer, so you have to wear a tank or bandeau underneath. This isn't a crop top, but it is a shorter length. I love the polka dots and the cream color. I removed the tag so I couldn't tell you the material, but it is kind of a rough texture, but not uncomfortable or anything.  I love that this is sheer because it is really light and comfortable to wear in the summer heat.

Flowy top with lace knit back shoulders $12.99: I don't know the brand of this shirt because I ripped the tag off as soon as I got it home. I regret that decision. I've learned my lesson to not rip the inside tags off of clothing. I loved this top in the dressing room, but hated it when I got it home. I realized I had no bra to wear under it! lol I could wear a tank underneath, but I feel like that defeats the purpose of the gorgeous scooped back. I do love the scoop in the back, and the crochet knit detail across the shoulders. Perhaps I'll go buy a nude tank or bandeau or something. I adore the bright coral color of this top, and it is flowy. I don't like tight, form fitting clothing. 

Hollister polka dot top with bow back $9.99: This is another top that I loved in the store and wasn't too crazy about when I got it home. But I decided to keep it just because I don't have anything like it. I love the bow in the back and the faded polka dots. I don't really have much to say about this top other than I think it is adorable!

Poof lace top with pocket detail $9.99: The next two tops are my absolute favorite shirts I own. This is a coral top with a sheer lace front, and a solid back. The lace continues across the shoulders on the back. The sleeves were a little too tight on me, but the more I've worn it, the looser they've gotten. This is just such a pretty top for summer. I do need to wear a tank under this, as the front is sheer. This is incredibly cute paired with my lace shorts.

Mounteau Los Angeles lace knit top with collar & zipper back detail $12.99: This is my other favorite top. I fell in love with the coral and zipper detail. It just adds such a nice pop with the knit detail. I don't own any tops like this, and I really enjoy wearing this. Of all the tops I've worn out, this one gets me the most compliments, which is nice! This is sheer, so a tank is necessary underneath. It really matches my Nine West Papya cross body handbag, which you can see right here.

That's it for my summer fashion haul. Everything pictured is from TJ Maxx. I can't guarantee you'll find these at your local store, but it's possible! :)

Collective Summer Beauty Haul!

Hello there! I hope that everyone has a wonder Independence day! Thank you to all of our troops that are keeping us safe.

I have some new products to share with you that I've picked up over the last month. I have some products from Bath & Body works to share with you that I got from their awesome semi annual sale. I also have some makeup items that I am so excited to share with you! :)

I spent $14.71 on the 6 products I bought at B&BW. If it weren't for the huge semi annual sale, my total would have been $54!!!! That is quite the bargain, and I wish I would have picked up many more things!

All of my B&BW goodies!

Into The Wild body lotion

$2.94 on sale

$11 original price

This lotion smells like summer to me! It is very citrus-y and slightly floral. I really love the label, it's just so pretty!

Paris Amour shower gel

$3 on sale

$11 original price

When I first smelled this in the store, I said "Oh my gosh, that's amazing!" and some girls picked it up and said the same thing. It is just a refreshing, floral smell.

Forever Sunshine fine fragrance mist

$3.50 on sale

$14 original price

This is seriously the way I'd imagine summer to smell. It is pretty light, but incredibly sweet! I'm terrible at describing scents...but really love this!

Just a closer look at the label

Triple moisture body creams in Country Chic, Paris Amour, and Japanese Cherry Blossom

$1.50 each on sale

$6 each original price

I picked these up to give away to friends or family, but I'm keeping Country Chic! It is a nice, fresh floral smell. I like how small the tube is, great to keep in my bag. Very moisturizing! Paris Amour smells just like the body wash, and Japanese Cherry Blossom is a signature scent of B&BW.

Now it is time to show you the makeup products I've picked up recently. A brand new Sephora opened at the mall in my city. This is HUGE! I have never seen or been in a store like Sephora ever in my life! I went a little nuts...lol.
