Cute cheap finds: Target and Goodwill

A big Goodwill opened in a nearby town we sometimes go shopping in. Goodwills around here have become SO expensive I barely shop there anymore - especially when I can buy brand new clothes at Old Navy or wherever for $5, why pay even more for used clothes? But the one good thing about them around here is that they get cast-offs from Target and other stores! It seems that overstock or clearance items that don't sell get sent to Goodwills, so there are tons of brand new things hanging around!

Today I saw tons of Christmas decorations, pajamas, shoes, comforters/bedding, and other stuff fresh from Target. Ironically, some of the Goodwill prices were higher than the clearance prices they didn't sell for at Target!

My find was this awesome pink leopard Mulberry for Target bag! It was originally $29.99 (and I'd eyed it in Target multiple times) but at the Goodwill for $10. Brand new with tags, of course! I also then stopped at Target and found another one - the teeny black one - for only $3.47 on clearance (normally $14.99)!

 Then I found all this awesome V-Day stuff in Target's dollar section. Hand towels, cellophane bags, a cupcake rug, and little heart-shaped boxes.

Everything was $1 or $2.50! I love Valentine's Day, if not for just the massive amounts of cute stuff the stores all produce. Valentine's Day used to all be about sappy cards, velvet heart-shaped chocolate boxes, and stuffed animals holding hearts and/or candy. Now it seems like just an excuse to make adorable things, especially cupcake-themed things! Since when do cupcakes = Valentine's Day? To me, they're a year-round thing, but who cares, as long as they keep making cute stuff, right? :)

Joss & Main- New CSN Stores private sales website!

You all know I've had great experiences so far with CSN Stores.  I did my first review of one of their products back in November, on this Knomo ID card wallet that I love and use every day.  


Well, I was just informed by CSN Stores about a great new website for private designer sales (along the likes of Hautelook, Gilt, etc.) called Joss & Main.  Joss & Main runs sales on various home furnishings, so while it's not beauty-related, it's still a great place to check out for designer-quality items at a fraction of the price.  The exciting part for me (and hopefully for all of you!) is that this week they are featuring two sales by Knomo- the brand that makes the ID card wallet I reviewed last year.  Knomo makes really chic and modern briefcases and bags from what I've seen.  I can speak for the quality and functionality of the wallet I have, so if the rest of their products are just as good, I'll be excited to check out what Joss & Main has for sale this week.


Here's the line-up for the Knomo sales at Joss & Main this week:


Tuesday, 2/1- Knomo Men's messengers and briefcases


Thursday, 2/3- Knomo Women's messengers and briefcases


To sign up:  You have to become a member in order to partake in the sales on Joss & Main, which is completely free like most private sale sites.  My personal invitation link is HERE, so click through that link if you're interested in signing up through me!


I'd love to hear if you see anything you like!

Not a size 4? No worries! You can still be sexy!

Just because you are not a size 4 does NOT mean you can't look beautiful and feel sexy! There are many great places to shop! Gap is a great place to shop for nice work or weekend clothes because they go up to a size XXL which would be the equivalant of a size 22. And if you are particularly tall or petite (which means short, not small!!) Then you can buy tall and petite as well! Here is just an outfit option for you girls!

Please do not rule this top out! It has many features that would be flattering. There is a line that goes all down the center of the stomach which would hide a tummy automatically and the bow is a distraction and a great feature that people would focus on, so when they are staring at you, do not be self concious, they are admiring your top and wondering where you got it!

This sweater would be a great additive in this color or in black and with or without the belt! Alternate wearing the belt and not. Get a metallic skinny belt in either silver or gold. The belt will hit the smallest part of your waist, making it appear like you have lost 15 pounds! Then pair with wide leg jeans and flats!

The top would also look SO good under this blazer left open! 

Wear these with the top and the open blazer and roll up the bottom of the pants just a little!

A wedge such as this would look so good with this outfit! If you don't do heels, TRY them! 9 times out of 10, you will LOVE them. Plus they give you height which in turn, makes you appear tall and lean.

These are a great alternative if you are saying no way to the heels... but do us both a favor by testing some heels or wedges out! 

 
This scarf would look so cute with this outfit! If you want to show off your bow on your shirt, forget the scarf... if you just want some more flare to the outfit... scarf!! Either way is cute.

This bag is a great color if you want one bag for every outfit, it literally goes with everything you own.

This is a fun bag option if you are not wearing the scarf and you love to have lots of purses! It goes with a lot more than you think!


















I realize I did not add any jewelry but that is because a necklace would distract from the bow. So find some fun earrings and bracelets!






Want me to personally make you an outfit? Let me know! I can do it on a budget too!

MakEuP FUN!

This is one of the most popular blushes in the US! It kind of has an embarrassing name but it is absolutely gorgeous and universally flattering! It is called Orgasm by Nars. You can find it at Sephora or Sephora.com!

In my personal opinion, this is the best mascara to ever exist hands down! This is also available at Sephora!! 

I have this beautiful palette myself! It has a great range of colors and are not harsh. The colors are quite pigmented and true to color. 

Need a new eye shadow primer? This one cannot be beat! It lasts alll day and does not crease! And in case you did not know that you need eye shadow primer for your shadow, you do, and it will change your life! 

Now, if you need foundation and hate liquid, bare minerals powder is the way to go. It has the fullest coverage as far as powder goes. And a benefit to this is that you can find your perfect color because they make about 40+ shades instead of light, medium, or dark. But if you love or want to try liquid...

I LOVE this! It goes on thin but covers! And it is the NARS sheer glow foundation so it gives a gorgeous natural glow. To make liquid look best and stay put you need two things: a foundation primer (Smashbox makes great primers) and you need to put powder on top! It makes it look more natural.

So, I worked at Sephora but I was certified with MAC so I am not partial to either one and I love to branch out. If you are a MAC-feen, test out Sephora or Ulta...It will open your eyes and change your life! In a fun way, of course. Makeup is fun so enjoy it and try new brands! 

♡STAY in my heart⌒♡+

Uh.. I'm a bit sick at the moment
I feel super tired and like I had a fever (＞Д＜)
I used a thermometer but it didn't show any extra warmth.
Hopefully this won't get worse because I have an exam tomorrow



I took some photos at last weekend when I was quite bored
Be prepared for camwhore spamming ヾ(ﾟ∀ﾟゞ)


Some time ago I was shopping with my mom and we saw that all X'mas decorations were discounted -75% (ﾟω_ﾟ☆)
So I bought those gold candy X'mas tree decorations for next X'mas




Very simple outfit but I liked it a lot
Must wear some another time, too (o・∀・)o
White top has pink ribbons in the back


What I have been doing most of the time.. <(￣Д￣●)>
Or well, what I should have been doing but I've done almost everything else to avoid it
Matriculation exams are starting soon (`д´ ｡)




Another not-so-important purchase.. (ﾉ*･_●･)ﾉ
Hello Kitty tissues


I thought they would have been just normal issues in cute packing
But the issues also had Hello Kitty print!
And they have very sweet scent ＼(*⌒0⌒)
That's why I really love blowing my nose or wiping tears on them




Haha can you see the book on the background?
It's the school book I should have been reading (･c_,･｡)o
But decided to take photos instead (*･ω･)




I love my new pillow cases and sheet covers
I got them as a X'mas presents ゜(+･｀ω･´)゜
They are super cute
(Yeah I was super bored so took a photo with them)


And lastly some my cooking (o｀･∀･´o)
It's beef and zucchini
Very good! ((((ﾂ´ω`)ﾂ
I'm such a house wife type 'cause I love making food and keeping the house clean


MBLAQ is my favourite boy band
I mostly listen only to girl bands (ﾉ*･▽･)ﾉ
But their songs and dancing are just so great
