J Crew and Coach at TJ Maxx!

I hope that your Valentines Day's are going great. Hopefully I can make your day a little sweeter with some exciting news.

The rumors are true, TJ Maxx is selling J Crew shoes from $15 to $20 a pair.

I really don't get how they are selling them for so cheap when online they are over $100 for the heels and at least $80 for sandals.

These are the pairs I purchased tonight.

The heels are just the perfect height, I already know I could wear them comfortably for hours on end.

I also picked up a pair of Coach glasses for $60 rather than $160. The top pair was $10 and I figured, since that was cheaper than Target prices and I loved them, it couldn't hurt to have a pair for when you don't want to bring your expensive ones.

They also had tons of great brands for clothing, I was actually tempted to browse for clothes. I normally just skip the clothes and look at the accessories and home stuff. I have seen clothes there that I liked but felt like they really weren't that amazing of a deal.

I was very determined tonight so when one store didn't have the shoes I tried another and was successful. They all have such different stuff so check multiple if you can/need to.

Target impluse buys

Wow the $1 bin at Target is a trap of impulse buys but when everything is 50% the impulse becomes 100 times greater for me. Here is the list of things I bought tonight.

*

3 very cute children's books for my box

2 things of Halloween sprinkles

3 ink pads for the stamps I had bought from the same bins a few trips ago

2 blocks to put the stamps on

(have you seen these new kind of stamp that take up a lot less room?)

3 sheets of stickers

I also picked up 4, yes 4, bags of carmel apple suckers!

I had gone through the Halloween candy isle looking for them with no luck. I then was walking back and saw a bag in some lady's hand. I stood back and prayed she would put them back, she did just that!! Then I found that there were more bags hidden in the mess around where she found them... and that how I ended up buying 4 bags!

I love these because they are so great to have on hand when you are doing Weight Watchers and need something sweet. They use to carry them all year but recently have stopped.

When I was coming home my husband greeted me at the front door very curious as to what I had picked up in addition to the bag of suckers. I showed him my other impulse purchase of the day. I got a really beautiful candle holder, I will post a picture in a few days when I find the perfect place for it! I know that he approved of it because he didn't lecture me when I showed it to him. He would never tell me he actually likes it but I know he does.

I also FINALLY made it to the gym today! I checked my heart rate monitor to see the last date that I had worked out I almost fell over when I realized it was the 3rd of last month, almost 2 full months ago. That is so sad but what can you do? I was only able to get in 20 min on the treadmill before the gym closed but every little step helps right. I was able to run for about 12 minutes straight before I started walking. Not too bad since I just ran my first straight mile ever this spring. I also burned 200 calories and was still under my points for the day!!

We leave Wednesday for my cousin's wedding so I figured I could use some work before our trip. I think I may wear my black strapless embossed J Crew dress, the one they release every summer. Is this to casual/summery for a November wedding?

For my husband my birthday wish list

Dear hubby if you are looking for something to get me for my BIG Golden Birthday, 25 on the 25th! Here are some ideas that make my heart beat a little faster!

To add to my collection!

Something a little different than my usual Tiffany's jewelry!

A purse from J Crew and it's green! That combines three of my favorite things!

Love them but they are extremely heavy.
