I SPY Rebecca Minkoff!

My weekly trip to TJ Maxx helped me spot an awesome find.  Once in awhile TJ Maxx and Marshalls would have designer handbags such as Coach, Michael Kors, and DKNY, however I've never seen one with this brand.

Maybe since this TJ Maxx had just open, newer items were stocked, but I'm not sure.  I guess its always a hit and miss at these stores.

I actually found a few Rebecca Minkoff bags at this store and though still very expensive ($100+) it was still a bargain steal from the original price.  I didn't buy it, because my wallet would cry, but thought maybe I'll share a photo so that some of you lucky ladies can find some too.



I don't have the information of the type of bag and the price.  I was in a hurry (well actually the Mr.) so I took a quick picture and left.  Its definitely cute statement bag, super bright pink, perfect for any girl out there.  Now if it was like in black or a neutral color, I may have had second thoughts about getting it, but maybe next time.

Any Good Deals Lately?

Finally H&M! Online Shopping

If you haven't already heard or read about it, after a long wait, H&M finally opens up an online store for many of us that cannot get to one locally.

 I'm grateful that H&M has opened up 3 stores in my area, however before there was any, I couldn't go anywhere near to find an H&M.  The nearest one was 4 hours away, which is a no go for me, it was just too far.  I was also one who wondered why H&M never had an online store, which would be so convenient for me especially since its so popular. Now the wait is over for the many who has longed to shop at H&M.

You can view the fashion on their website here at H&M.

Some of my favorites that are already in my cart:






After browsing some, I did notice that the website still doesn't have as much items as a normal online shop would have.  I imagine the company is still adding products to the site and will have more to come.  Can't wait for more to come because I'm definitely in the mood for shopping.

Let's Go Shopping!

Sam Edelman "Gigi" Haul

Quick haul post for the blog! Too many things been happening. New job, New baby, New everything!

Summer's here so I decided to get myself a new pair of sandals.  I've been eyeing Sam Edelman sandals for awhile now but I couldn't justify paying the prices for sandals.  Living here in Florida, sandals are our primary shoes that we were since its practically summer year round.  So sandals are a necessity in my book.

I finally found a Sam Edelman "GiGi" sandal that I've been wanting especially in black which seems to always be out of stock.  Super cute, but not as quite comfortable as I would like, but oh well as long as it works for me.




The best part was that I got it about 40% off retail at TJ Maxx which definitely made my day.  I've only seen Sam Edelman shoes maybe twice before so I know it doesn't pass through these stores often.  It was a "I better get it before its gone" moment for me! Happy haul for me!

 Time to Stroll the Beaches!

Its Been Awhile! New Shop Open


Its definitely been awhile since I've blogged. At least a month since my last post.  I was going to try and keep up with blogging but life is pretty hectic at the moment.

Between juggling work and me time, my family is my top priority at the moment.  I just can't find enough time in the day to do everything.  Still learning to adjust to not just have the two of us but the three of us.  Hopefully soon I can manage to do everything. Learning to be Wonder Woman is quite hard!

Any ways, I wanted to share a little bit of what I've been doing the past month.  I've opened up cute Facebook boutique online and would love to share it with you all.  I've just added a few items, but will continue to add more cuteness to the shop.  A little jewelry, hair accessories, and other things I may have in mind.

The boutique is called Love, Grace. 

All items with be sent "with Love, from Grace". A little love from my little baby blessing.

Please stop by and LIKE and SHARE with everyone!  

If you are interested, please feel free to message me!

Beauty Empties (A First!)

I must admit it, I do love collecting beauty items.  It just sits there and look pretty whether it be eye shadow palettes, skin care samples, mascaras, eye liners, or blush.  There are some items that I forget that I even have because of the clutter of samples and items I don't touch or have it in a different bin. I tell myself I will eventually get to it and use it however I don't.  Maybe its too pretty to use or I should save it.  That's been my mentality so far.

However that's not quite the mentality of the Mr. All he sees is just a clutter mess of items that I don't use and just collect.  I mean he collects stuff too so he doesn't say much, but I do admit my vanity can be a mess at times.

So in light of my ever cluttered vanity mess, I decided to go about doing Beauty Empties post about products that I have finally used or cleared out.  I need to do this, so this will motivate me to use the items I have and then be able to buy more! Yay to that.

Jan-Feb empties:


1. Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlighter
          ~ I picked up this Concealer/Highlighter on a whim. The color was a bit off but not something I couldn't work with.  The concealer was creamy and easy to work with but not as matte nor full coverage as I would have liked.  I didn't really use the highlighter as much as it was too light for my skin and did not show up much.
Repurchase: I probably would not repurchase

2. Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette - Hidden Agenda 07
          ~ I've had this for some time now and decided to finish it. I like that it does have three different concealer colors however for me, I had to blend two of the colors together to get what I needed. The powder was okay but a little hard to use. The consistency is pretty good its just the colors may not match well.  Overall this is a good concealer palette to try out.
Repurchase: Yes I would

3. MAC C-Thru Lipglass
          ~ This is one of my favorite MAC lipglasses. Its a nude pink color with a like pink shimmer.  Other than the stickier consistency (which is common) I like the product.
Repurchase: Yes I would

4. MAC Nuance Blush
           ~ One of my Favorite blushes that I use often. I'm already on my second one which is close to being done as well. Blush colors are coral and pink with hints of shimmer.  The only con would be that it is limited edition. I had to look all over for my second one. So you anyone has a spare and don't need it, send it my way!!
Repurchase: Yes if I can find one

There goes my first list of empties.  I hope I get through more this month at least one.

Use it up!!
