EXPRESS Sale!

I finally got a chance to start shopping again and I guess I picked a good time to start doing so! It's like sales galore! I'm dying to get over to JCrew but since I've moved back to Cali I'm a ways away from one. I've been on a shopping hiatus but I'm happy to say that I'm back and ready to spend some $$$! :)

I've been wanting a certain sweater from Express... it's Cream or Camel colored sweater and just screams HELLO FALL... so I've just been waiting for a sale to come along to get it. I'm lucky I waited because they're having a fabulous sale right now.

I snagged a few goodies that are 30% off sale and you can get $15 off every $60 you spend...

Here's what I got:



Lol. Those thumbnail pictures are super small but I was way too lazy to save the pictures from their site. Such a hassle!

I'm planning to pull the trigger on some 'Crew stuff (The Silvana cardigan & the braided chain and pearl bracelet) but I'm waiting to see if I can go to a B&M and take part in the 30% sweater promo and save on shipping. Let's hope I can go on Saturday!!!

Happy shopping! :)

My 2 new goodies!

Well, they're not part of the new rollout but I was SOOOO happy to have scored them today! I bought the Merino Boyfriend Sweater and the Metallic Dot Scarf for only $60 together!

I've been searching for a something Honey colored and now I finally have one that I love!
This sweater runs a bit slouchy in a boyfriend fit so I went with an XS. It's soft, lightweight, and the color is to die for! Even though it is see through, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I was soooo happy to score it for only $29.99! I couldn't find any others so this might have been a return. Either way, it's a great sweater and it's all mine! I hope the ones online go on sale soon because this sweater fits great!

I've been eyeing this scarf for a while and once it got marked down, I searched around for it but never found one. Lucky for me there was a sad one hanging with the other scarves in the sale section so it was just calling me to bring it home! $29.99 is usually a lot to pay for a scarf IMO, but this one is pretty lightweight so I can see myself still wearing it through the spring. My only concern about this scarf is getting makeup on it :( Hopefully that won't happen!


I'm still looking around for a Zebra cardigan in a Small or XS so if someone happens to see one please let me know!!!

I knew I shoulda bought it the day they marked it down! I'm still kicking myself for that!

Enjoy your weekend ladies! :)

Keep or Return: Twyla Tank (Need YOUR Advice!)

I just received the Twyla Tank and I really can't decide if I want to keep it or return it.


The good: I LOVE the color! This shocking pink color is a beauty! Its bright, fun, and adds a pop of life into an outfit.

The bad: It's like someone took a piece of silk, cut a tank top pattern on it, and sewed the pieces together. It's totally plain.

Fit: I'm wearing this in a 2. It's completely boxy. It has no real shape and so it just lays there on the body. It would be a good layer UNDER a jacket, shirt, or cardigan. On it's own, it's really questionable.

What do you think? Does it look really bad? Is it worth the $38ish dollars I spent on it? Is color reason alone to keep an item???

I kind of feel like this will eventually go down in price to like $19.99 or something...

Please give me your advice!

Liberty Love!

I was SUPER excited about this launch ALLL last week that I visited Target EVERYDAY just to make sure they didn't put stuff out early. I was scared that I would miss out on it! I was so anxious to fall asleep Saturday night that I didn't sleep until past midnight! Once I finally fell asleep, I had a dream that I got to Target 30 mins late and EVERYTHING WAS GONE!! No joke! I dreamed about that! So what did I do? Woke up at 7am Sunday morning, left my place by 7:30 and waited outside of Target. To my surprise there were a few ladies already there waiting by the door! We all stood in the pouring rain! By 7:59 there were about 20 people in line waiting to get in!!!

My boyfriend and I had come up with a strategy for him to grab a cart while I "walked fast" to the Women's clothing department.

Surprisingly, this is all I ended up getting:

Button-up Tunic Top: $24.99


This is the closest I'll probably get to having another Liberty print Button up shirt. This is actually a tunic found in the swim section. I just folded it under to make it a shirt. IMO, it looks great with jeans or even leggings worn long. I'm wearing a size small. The XS was too tight in the shoulders for me. I'm loving the print and how easy this shirt is to wear! :)


Peacock Halter Top: $19.99

I love love love this shirt! As soon as I put it on, I knew it was love. The fit is nice & comfy and the print is vibrant and oooh so pretty! I'm wearing a size small in this one. The only problem I had with this top was the button in the back of the neck. It's a bit hard to button on and off but I can live with it. Definitely run to Target if you're interested in this one! :)

and this Fun Pretty Umbrella: $14.99


It's actually a nice umbrella for $15. It has one of those press buttons to make it open up and it's pretty lightweight which makes it easy to carry around.

Most of the other ladies ran straight to the bedding and home departments. They were filling their carts like crazy!!! I passed on all that stuff because I just don't need it. I already have storage boxes and what not. And what will I do with a flowery cup or flowery pillows? I live with a boy. I already have cups and plates and my bf was definitely not going to let me "girly-up" the apartment.

Overall, I'm very happy with what I got. Did you go Liberty crazy?

EXTRA30!

YAY! Extra30!!! My favorite promo!!! I love love love getting free shipping & an additional % off! This is by far one of the best promotions that JCrew offers so be sure to take advantage of it!

I woke up super late (8:00am) yesterday and all of the good stuff was gone! So what did I do? Wake up at 5:30am this morning to make sure that I could get SOMETHING. Plus, I knew that JCrew would put different stuff on promo since Wednesday is the magic day!

I ended up getting the following items:

extra30 buys by sbash123 featuring J Crew

and for only $151! (Yeah, LOL I said ONLY $151, as if $151 was cheap. Well, in terms of JCrew that is fairly cheap.) I'm happy to have gotten another Sherpa Hoodie! I have the pewter one and I wear it so often! It really pays for itself. I'm a very Jeans & Tee's kind of girl and since I'm just a student it helps to have a whole rack of tee's to choose from. :)

I was such a dork and ordered a bunch of stuff and then when I checked out I didn't even realize that I didn't make the $150 mark and so I paid shipping. I called CS right away and canceled my order and luckily got everything I wanted except for a Jackie Shell which ended up selling out. Oh well... I'm still happy with what I got.

The only item I'm uncertain about is the Twyla tank. I loved the color. I'm not sure of the fit of it or if it is even worth the $$ I spent on it. At least I can always return it.

Oh and don't forget that RED promo prices can also be counted as "sale" and will get the 30% applied to it too. (That's why I picked up the polo & Twyla.)

Did you buy anything with this promo? Holding off for now? Let me know! :)
Happy Shopping!!!
