Don't ya just love TJs?

June was a wonderful month of budgeting for me. I don't know how I did it or how it happened, but it did. Perhaps it was the incessant news mentions of saving money, 3 months worth of expenses stashed away, recession, world's ending, who knows. But I must say, I was quite proud of myself and my tiny nest egg. If you know me, you know this is BIG. So..... I decided July would be a month of rewards! :)

So, tonight T.J. Maxx and I had a reunion of sorts. And thank goodness, because he had some wonderful things tucked away for me. Remember these shoes by Kate Spade? Well I found these fabulous Nine West ones that look oh so close. I haven't found a pair of shoes at TJ Maxx that I like in quite sometime. (To be hones, I was actually getting quite worried.)
In addition, I found some wonderful Christmas presents. (I always shop for Christmas presents. Makes the holidays a bit more enjoyable/less stressful.) And, I found this preppy madras purse. J.Crew had one almost exactly like this last summer. Patience is a virtue!

A Few of My Favorite Things

1. Origins Ginger Incredible Spreadable Scrub and Souffle - enough said.


2. Lilly on Facebook! The best part is, you can download cute Lilly desktops. Now, I see Lilly every time I close a window on my otherwise dull work PC.

3. Barefoot Contessa, can we be friends? I just wish I could go visit her in "the barn" (have you ever seen a barn look like her barn?) and she'd cook for Jeffrey and me. I recently became a fan of hers on Facebook. Does that count as being friends?!



4. Izze Sparkling Blackberry - oh so de-lish-ussss. Without restraint, I could easily guzzle three of the these yummy drinkns in a day. I've also tried Sparkling Grapefruit, but Blackberry is still my favorite. I just found out on Izze.com that they have a Sparkling Blueberry!
