Style shopping

This post belongs to the NY shopping series; Inspirational Book Shopping, Cute Shopping and Creative Shopping.

I love everything with a great design on it. I am a sucker for great packaging. But i am still on a budget. So i thift shop, go to el cheapo stores, outlet stores. I don't like to pay the highscore, i get a thrill of finding bargains! (like most of you out there, i guess)

Check out my new Oscar de la Renta sunglasses. When i bought them my justification to myself for buying them was that they were gorgeous and below 10 bucks! (@ TJ Maxx) When i got home i gave myself another reason by accident! I wasn't home for more than 5 minutes when i sat down and heard a crunching sound... Oops! I just sat on my old sunglasses!! Yep. They broke. So i really had a reason to get new sunglasses! Hehe. (I do feel bad for breaking my other glasses, they were great too)

The TJ Maxx store also has a great discount pamper yourself area. (also great for finding gifts) I adore lovely smelling soaps, especially when they have cute names and packages. These three i couldn't leave behind at the store.

In front is a large bar of Passion Fruit Lime soap. Tropically scented exfoliating bath bar with kiwi seeds! Oh my. Behind left a Warm Apple Pie Soap from Crabtree & Evelyn. And on the right there's Whipped Ice Cream bath soap by Sweet on You. It really looks like icecream too, even the feel of it. You just want to scoop it out! "I scream, you scream, we all scream for icecream." "The ultimate calorie-free bath dessert."
