treat yourself thursday #TYT

Guess what today is??? That's right! It's Treat Yourself Thursday! As a gal I absolutely love treating myself, from pampering to eating unhealthy yummy things.  It's been super cold out where I am to the point where I am just numb while walking. So today, I decided to treat myself in the comfort of my warm toasty apartment. I love face masks. I love the feel of my face once its all washed off. I feel like a new and fresh gal ready to take on the day. Today I used Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask. You simply just apply it to your face, in about 10 minutes it will harden, and draw out all the impurities from your pores.  I just picked it up at the drugstore and it is about $3.  It's so cheap and great way to take some time and pamper yourself. Let us know if you decide to try it (: ! You will definately not be disappointed.  Once you wash it off your face will feel clean, refreshed, and smooth just like a baby's butt.

j.crew trinkets

If I ever happen to walk by a J.Crew  I HAVE to go in! It's a must! Even if I have no intention of buying something, I will browse and see what is new and of course what is on sale. To my pleasant surprise it was still half off of the sale.  Who could resist then! Nothing on the clothing racks really tickled my fancy, however, the accessories did. I absolutley love their jewelry, but its not always affordable. I saw these beautiful bracelets which were $14.99 and with the sale only $7.50. I loved the shape and design of them.  These bracelets can be worn casually or to a nice evening event.  The versatlity and the price are both big pluses. I also saw that they have cute socks on sale for $3! Let me tell you, I can never ever have to many socks. Somehow I loose them or the dryer eats them.  These socks were too cute with the white polka dots. Plus, they were perfect for Valentine's Day! 

young & beautiful skin

One of Elizabeth Arden's quote is "To be beautiful is the birthright to every woman." I also believe that every girl should feel beautiful. Her line of moisturizers, creams, and lotions are very hydrating to your skin. It makes your skin look healthy, young, fresh, and vibrant. Every girl needs a little pampering sometimes right? Elizabeth Arden's products are a little pricey but definately worth it. Even Youtube Beauty Guru, Rachel Talbott is a fan of Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream. Most department stores and Ulta sell her products. But I found the best place to find her line is at Marshalls and TJMaxx. I definately didn't expect to find them there!  Her products originally priced between $20 to $40. But, at Marshalls an TJMaxx they are between $10 to $20. That is half off for the same exact product! What do you think of her products?

valentines day #2: bedtime stories

Who loves bedtime stories? If you ask me, I love them at anytime, anyday, and no matter how old I get. To me they are a warm and comforting! I especially love stories that are special to me. One year for my birthday, I recieved a personalized story from a special someone. It had my name, things I loved, and it was basically all about me. If you saw the book it just screamed "ME" !  I would keep it close to my bed at night and read it all the time. Till this day I still have it and it will be one of my favorite gifts. For a special someone you could get them a storybook! One that is personalized and special just for them! Living Social is having a special deal, you could get a book for just $12. Hurry, there are only 2 days left! I will definitely be getting this for someone special in my life!

valentine's day #1: m&m's

Valentine's Day is coming right around the corner.  All stores already have all of their Valentine's decorations, candies, gifts, and trinkets out on the shelves. I just adore all the red and pink colors. Some people might say Valentine's Day is cliche, a "Hallmark Holiday," but hey it doesn't have to be.  Trust me, you don't  have to have a boyfriend, husband, or signifigant other to be happy on this day. When I was a little girl, actually even now, the one thing I look forward to is getting a Valentine's Day present from my Daddy.  This holiday to me is about loving those around you and spreading that love.  So we have decided that some of our posts are going to Valentine's Day themed, from outfits, to makeup, to gifts, and maybe some DIYs. What do you think??? What kind of posts would you gals like to see?

Candy, chocolate, flowers, and the whole sha-
bang is what comes to mind when I hear "Valentine's Day." But, let me tell you, even the little trinkets and chocolates from Target starts getting expensive. No matter what holiday, birthday, or event, I always like to get presents that have meaning and thought in it.  So here is an idea! Personalized M&M's! #1 its chocolate, #2 they have thought and meaning,  #3 its cute, pretty, and personalized just from you! Right now, Amazon deal is having a deal for the next 4 days! Where you get $30 to spend on Personalized M&M's for just $15! This is a great inexpensive gift for someone special in your life!

spice up your outfits

Are you bored of that white tee? Are you bored of the same sweaters and cardigans? Do you just wish you could throw all of your clothes away and start fresh? You are not alone miss! I wish for that all the time. The easiest way to make your old clothes new again is to spice it up with some jewelry pieces. I absolutely love accessorizing with a bunch of bangles/bracelets, earrings, and my all-time favorite statement necklaces. You can change that old white tee into a glamorous outfit with just a necklace. You can stack a few bracelets to add some color. Or can add simple stud earrings or statement earrings. This is a cheap and easy thing to do! Forever 21 has a large selection of jewelry and it is also quite inexpensive. They have a lot of pieces that look expensive but aren't! Currently, they are having a Jewelry BOGO Sale! That is 50% off!  Hurry and check out the sale!!! It ends on tomorrow! Here are a few that I love:

cute stationary for $1 each

As I walk in to Target everytime (confession: which is almost every week) the first thing I see is "The One Spot." Everything is a $1, now who could beat that! There is always a new trinket or snack that I just need to get.  That spot to me is just like getting a goodie bag at a birthday party when I was little. I always loved seeing what new goodies I got at my friends parties. I loved all the yummy treats, candies, and trinkets. It's not all trinkets at "The One Spot", they have a lot of cute decorative pieces and practical things.  Currently, I am loving their stationary. Now who can go wrong with cute note pads, post-its, stickers, and journals. I know that I can never have enough.  Currently, my favorite note pad is the "thoughts & doodles pads."  I use it for new blogging ideas or random thoughts.  Have you ever picked up anything from "The One Spot?" Their Valentines trinkets are out now! I can't wait to get my hands on those!

cozy winter OOTD

Who like to see outfits of the day (OOTD)? I DO! I love seeing what other people are wearing. It gives me ideas and shows me how to reuse my pieces or style them in another way. Would you gals like to see OOTDs weekly?  Its quite chilly outside where I live, so I like to stay comfy and as warm as possible! What do you gals wear on cold days? Here is what I am wearing today:







Gray Fluffy Vest: Old Navy = $8
White Painter Tee: J.Crew = $5
Burgundy Scarf: H&M = $2.50

mini 5 zip rebecca minkoff

Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite designers! I cannot even express how much I love her handbags. To me they are classy, trendy, and perfect all in one. I love how her bags can be used in all different types of occasions, from casual to night time wear in a blink of an eye. Missglamorazzi is even a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff. Then again, who wouldn't be? I currently have the Mini Mac. But while shopping in the mall window shopping, I decided to head into Bloomingdales because they were having an incredible sale. Of course, me being the girly girl I am,  I had to look at the handbags! And I saw that several Rebecca Minkoff's Mini Macs and Mini 5-Zip were on sale! Let me tell you, they don't go on sale that often. So I decided to scan it to see how much it was! It was $87.75! That is crazy, they are originally $195. On top of that there was a 15% off coupon, so the final price was $74.58! That is a little more than 60% off. Now that is a steal for a designer handbag. What is your favorite color Rebecca Minkoff Bag?

It is so close to being Friday, yet so far!  But just because it's not the weekend doesn't mean we can't have a little treat. In my book, Thursdays are "Treat Yourself Thursdays"!!

But of course our treat has to be a savvy gal deal.  Jamba Juice is having a $2 Special Offer for a Limited Time (hint hint: Jamba Juice Smoothie Coupon).  You can either try the Fit n' Fruitful Smoothie or Whole Food Nutrition Smoothie.  This treat is just perfect! A great deal, something new to try, and healthy! Are you going to try it? Which one did you get?

ann taylor loft

Many people say that Ann Taylor Loft is for more mature older women. But let me tell you, I found it to be a hidden gem. It's classic endless style can be fit for young gals as well. I believe it's all in how you wear it. The quality and prices are similar to J.Crew and Banana Republic, but Ann Taylor Loft has by far the best sale prices.  No matter what time of year it is, there is always a Final Sale Rack! Now you may ask, where do I find this rack? They like to be sneaky, and they always put it in the dressing room. So don't forget to check there every time you go. There are definitely some gems on that rack.  All of the prices on that rack range from $4.88 to $19.88. All of the final sale pieces are nonreturnable, but hey! for those prices who would return them anyways.  It is about 80% off of the original price! There sale racks also have a lot of nice pieces for great prices as well. Currently, they are having an additional 60% off of the sale price.  Let me tell you, one mistake you could make is to misjudge Ann Taylor Loft. They definitely have a very nice, preppy, and classy collection of clothes. This is one of our favorite stores to shop at (: !

Dress Pants, Jeans,
& Sweaters for $9.88! 

Cute Blouse for $4.88

Comfy Sweater for $9.88

Long Sleeve Lace Tee for $4.88

best deals at gap

Ever since I was young people would call me a "Gap Girl." Gap was the only thing I wore.  As every typical little girl, I loved the designs all over my jeans with sequins and flowers. I loved all the embellishments Gap put on all the girls clothes. I would wear Gap from head to toe, like a walking billboard and I was proud. To this day, I still love Gap. It is one of my go-to stores.  It can be pricey sometimes, but when they have a sale let me tell you, IT IS A SALE! Gap puts a lot of things on final sale (meaning the prices end in .97) that is the cheapest you will be able to get anything. Sometimes they even put things for $1.97 or $2.97. And that is when I definitely buy everything haha. Right now they are having an additional 50% off sale!  I was able to get dress paints from between $6 and $12, now that is cheap! Many sweaters were from $8 to $10. All of the long sleeve tees were $9.99 with half off, that is only $5! And short sleeve tees were about $3 each. Now this is definitely the time to stock up on your basics and fill your closet with those missing colors. Mens, GapKids, and BabyGap were also having this sale and they have unbelievable deals as well.

All of these shirts were under $5!!! 

going bananas....

Did you know Gap Inc. are the founders of Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy, Piperlime and Athleta? My favorites are Banana Republic, Gap, and if I want to treat my self and splurge then Piperlime.  But, this weekend Banana Republic was having 40% off the entire store and an additional 40% off the sale! Banana Republic covers all areas of clothing, from business professional, to business casual, to casual wear, to loungewear. If you only want to shop at one store, this is perfect! Banana Republic is Gap Inc. top clothing line and the quality never ever disappoints me. You can even get better deals here than at Old Navy and Gap!  What pieces did you pick up at the sale?  What is your favorite Gap Inc. Store? Share with us in the comments (:

vineyard vines

Vineyard Vines preppy collections always catch my eyes. It's classic, preppy, and can be worn at all occasions.  There line of clothing definitely captures the beauty of  the beach, boats, and summer weather! Most of their clothes are pastels or bright colors. To me the pastel colors are perfect! But, they do have their basic colors as well (but we all know those colors aren't that fun to wear haha). Vineyard Vines is definitely not a low end store, its quality is great and lasts forever. This is one of the more of your high end clothing brands but when there is a sale it is affordable and quite cheap. This weekend they had a large sale rack (including mens, womens, and kids) with an additional 50% off. This sale was the time to stock up on your Vineyard Vines!

michael kors

Michael Kors watches and bags always catch my eye! Anytime I see the letters MK, a lightbulb goes on in my head and go "ooooo...ahhhh" and quickly run to it! My favorite collection of theirs is the Jet  et! I love the  lassic colors they have along with their seasonal ones. MK is definitely not one of your cheap brands, but when they go on sale or you search for a deal it can be just as affordable as shopping at Target. Today, as I was shopping at Bloomingdales I looked through their clearance bags/wallets! And on top of the sale ticketed price it was an additional 40% off of that. On top of that there was a 15% coupon. With all of that percentage off, you definitely can save a good chunk of money.  I purchased the Jet Set Coin Purse, to me this is the most convenient grab and go wallet! I love how you can put your  eys, store cards, and accessories on it as well as have enough space for your ID, credit cards, money, and change. To me its a very
practical wallet and you definitely get your use and money out of it. It even fits in your jean pocket! Originally they are $58. With the sale and 40% off the price was $26.10. Then with the additional 15% off, the final price was $22.18.  What do you think of that price? I absolutely love my new wallet and love it even more because I got it for a bargain! What are your favorite designers?

3-wick candles!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the coziness, warmness, and smell of Bath & Body Works Candles!  ighting one of their candles and cuddling on the couch with a hot drink is pure perfection. Nothing can beat that! One candle is $22.50. For me, thats a little pricey. Sometimes, they have the deal 2 for $22, that is a little more than 50% off. But, when you want some many different candles the cost starts adding up and your receipt gets super long without even realizing.

Right now, select candles are $8 !!! Now that is a great deal!  There is even a coupon, 20% off any $25 purchase. That means you can get 4 candles for $26! That's almost the same price as getting one candle. (Coupon codes : 1769 (instore) & F131769 (online)). I'm really liking their gelato candle. It makes me wish summer was here. What is your favorite candle? 

semi annual sale

Victoria's Secret Semi- Annual Sale is still going on, but quickly coming to an end! It's the FINAL DAYS of the sale! There are still racks and racks of all of Victoria's Secret clothes on sale with an additional half off! Many of their beauty favorites are 75 % off, all sale bras are $15.99, and all sale panties are $2.99! 

This is the best time to stock up on fancy lingerie and necessary essentials! Don't wait for after the sale to get them! We gals are all stocked up for the new year! We enjoyed rummaging through those baskets and finding our treasures! What are some of your favorites at Victoria's Secret? Did you find any treasures?

red dot clearance

I LOVE TARGET! They have everything and anything you could possibly ask for! Their prices aren't to bad either, if you asked me I'd say they are pretty reasonable! However, their clothing and shoes department aren't the cheapest in my book! I really feel like you could definitely get more for your money elsewhere! However, when they have 70% you can't beat the prices. Currently, they have their boyfriend cardigans for $5.98 (originally $19.99).  In my opinion, I wouldn't purchase it for $19.99, because you definitely could get a higher quality cardigan for that price. But, hey for 6 bucks, I won't complain! It's super cute and great for layering in all seasons! It comes in a wide variety of colors as well! What are your favorite cardigans? Let us know in the comments below!

warm & cozy welly socks

my new welly socks (:

Hunter rain boots can battle all types of weather! When it's snowy and below freezing my feet freeze and all I wish for are warm feet! So I just purchased myself Hunter Boots Welly Socks. By no means, they are not cheap, but a necessity right? The box even says "it's the ultimate accessory for your Hunter boots." I've been searching high and low ever since I got my Hunter's, but during this time of year they are impossible to find or they have very few selection. Since Bloomingdale's, was having a fantastic sale and additional 15% off coupon, I stopped by to check if they had any in stock! To my surprise they had several and they were just marked down! From originally $45, on sale to $16.99 and with the coupon the final price of $ 14.44. That is the cheapest I have ever seen! Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, and online are all still full price if they have any left! And sometimes you can find them at Nordstrom Rack, but they are $18.99! This is such a savvy deal and I get warm feet! What more could I ask for?
