Marshalls See 40+ In Store Pics: Shoes + Bags (Kate Spade Saturday for $20!)

This past weekend I stopped at a few Marshalls locations that aren't my usual shopping stomping grounds and found so many new styles and brands. Of course after spotting the Kate Spade box (you can see why it's a showstopper), I quickly made my way throughout the shoe section to see if I could locate more of the mesmerizing striped boxes. While I did find one more style, it was only a stack of size nine's from top to bottom, fail. The hunt was on after that, but I never did come across the Saturday brand at any other locations.

I didn't take that many clothing photos this time simply because it was very crowded and the racks are close together at this location. I took a few quick pictures of the newest items.

Hope you enjoy seeing all of the amazing shoes and bags and maybe you can track down a few favorites at your store!

What's your favorite new arrival? 

Weekend Notebook: TJMaxx In Store Pics!

This past weekend I had a ton of not so fun errands to catch up on thanks to spending a huge chunk of my time shopping the Lilly Pulitzer launch at Target last Sunday. I managed to fit a TJ Maxx trip in the mix and here are some of the new arrivals I spotted, still not many shoes, unless you count endless sneakers on shelves (answer, I don't). They are receiving many high-end handbags right now since Mother's Day is next month, the perfect time to shop for your Mom...or yourself. All of the clothing I snapped pics of are brands sold at Nordstrom, I first started seeing this trend last month and love it since I can't always make it to a Nordstrom Rack as often as I would like.

What's your favorite new arrival?

Weekend Notebook: In Store Finds from Nordstrom Rack + Marshalls + TJMaxx

There's nothing like spotting a Kate Spade item within seconds of walking into Nordstrom Rack. Although it's not unusual to find this brand at NR, finding clothing items at Marshalls is a rare thing. I almost didn't go to any stores on Monday, but those Kate Spade bow socks I had seen on several Instagram accounts were begging to be hunted down, even if I only found a few pairs. Although I can't complain after scoring a Rachel Zoe leather wrap bracelet for less than twenty dollars. Here's hoping you can score some of your favorites in store!

TJMaxx 30+ In Store Pics!

This past weekend I shopped at two TJMaxx locations and was so excited to see new brands I had previously only seen at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores popping up here. While the clothing and handbag areas were stocked full of new merchandise, the shoes were not. I've seen the same sneakers and sandals for what feels like weeks, which only means (fingers crossed) that new arrivals are coming soon!

Let's go shopping!

Weekend Notebook: Nordstrom Rack

I did so much shopping this weekend, I wanted to share all of my finds with my you! However, I also took so many pictures, I need to separate them into two posts, so I'll first start with all of the amazing handbags from Kate Spade at Nordstrom Rack. I hope you enjoy doing a little shopping with me!

What's your favorite find?

Weekend Notebook: Target New Arrivals!!

I spent a long time in the clothing department at Target over the weekend. As I shopped the racks and racks of 70% off clearance clothing, I kept getting distracted by all the new arrivals and loving the black, blue and white collection (so chic and modern!). I couldn't find the new collection online yet, so if you are dying to get your hands on something or just want to check it out in person, maybe give your store a few days to put out their new inventory, since only one of my stores had everything.

What are you favorite items?

Weekend Notebook: New Arrivals at Nordstrom Rack + TJMaxx

Yes, I was at it again! I shopped a lot this weekend scouring the stores for new arrivals and checking out some early Black Friday deals. Here are some of pictures from Nordstrom Rack and TJMaxx I managed to snap despite all the shoppers surrounding me. I listed prices whenever possible, although it was difficult to remember every single one!

Anything you'll be hunting down at your local store?

 

Weekend Notebook: Marshalls + Target's New Gift Display

I've been busy doing a little pre-black Friday shopping to give you a head start on the holiday before the official madness begins in just over a week! Here are the latest offerings from Marshalls that might make someone very happy this season and Target just added their twenty dollars (or less) gift displays throughout the clothing departments.

Anything on your list?  

 Juicy Tees always make fun gifts $24.99 

{Weekend Notebook} Target + TJMaxx Home Decor + Beauty

Target has some very chic new home décor arrivals and it is so hard not to buy everything I see, especially all of the gold accented pieces, that add an element of glamour to any space. The trays are also quite impressive for less than thrity dollars and something you would find at Crate and Barrel for twice the price. Target also added two more designers collabs (even if they are smaller in scale) in the past two weeks and they are both worth checking out!

Will you be shopping any of the new Target arrivals?

Shop the jewelry box collection online here!

Dollar Section

These items in the dollar bin are $1 and $3 for some of the notebook sets.

All of the gold details and kraft paper are very chic.

Sugar Paper Los Angeles Collection

Simple and chic and nothing is over $10 for items that are similar to Kate Spade's style.

Pretty pages to keep yourself organized.

Target Notebook - New Holiday Arrivals!! See 30+ in store pics

I was on a Target mission this morning to check out all the new holiday arrivals I was excited to see after first viewing them online and it is so good! The mostly black + white clothing with some pale pink blouses and accents is very classic, girly and chic, items you will be able to wear throughout the year. I left the clothing department without making a purchase..yet. When I see so many cute things at once, I find it best to leave the store, and think about what I really need, so I don't spend a small fortune.

I'll be sharing more Target finds in another post (there are just too many things to share all at once!), follow me on Instagram @tracysnotebook for even more shopping posts. Ps. sorry some of the pictures aren't clear, my camera wasn't working properly and the blacks kept getting washed out. *Shop online to save 20% off your clothing purchase, see below for details.

What are you favorite items? Are you excited for their new holiday collection?

My favorite pieces!
Shop the new collection here.

Target New Limited Edition Holiday Collection is here!!

The new Target Holiday Collection of metallic and lace handbags and clutches are here a week early! Items are not yet online, but women were already grabbing some of the shiny little bags, so stop by your local store if you want to get one for yourself before they sell out.

Will you picking up anything from the holiday collection?

The rose gold clutch is so pretty - I wish the hardware had a shiny finish and not a matte brass
lock (also includes a brass chain), still cute for the price and I'm sure most people wouldn't notice.

After I posted the original Facebook pic - I notice the rose gold clutch was $19.99 and the silver was $16.99. So strange, I haven't seen seen a price difference on two identical items in a while.

 I'll be checking out another Target out of curiosity.

Target New Arrivals - Fall Clothing Store pics!!

So many new fall arrivals at Target this past weekend, I took pics at two of my stores. Lots of lace, greys, embellished sweatshirts, and a new and very J.Crew inspired collection from Merona. I didn't see any new handbags or shoes on this visit, I'm sure more are on the way in the next week. Hope you enjoy my shopping trip(s)!

What items are your favorite? 

 Faux Leather Dress $29.99 // Merona Red Blouse $22.99 // Merona Printed Blouse $24.99

I didn't get to see this faux leather dress in person I spotted on their website and was hoping to see in person this weekend, but if the faux leather skirt is any indication of the quality, I might place an online order for this number.

 I cannot believe this is from Target - just wow.

Rockstar festival inspired dress, tee, and lace skirt.

Shopping Notebook: Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls!!

I did a little shopping at two of my favorite stores this week and there are lots of swooning to be had with so many designer deals at Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls. While I did more browsing than buying, I always have fun snapping pics and sharing my finds with everyone. Enjoy!

What's your favorite find?

Nordstrom Rack:

     Kate Spade iphone 5 neon pink and mint green phone cases $18.97 (retail $40)

(btw, I have no idea how/why this picture came out "vintage" w/o altering the pic at all when the lighting was the same in the pic below!)

 Kate Spade idiom bangle bracelets $59 (retail $88)

Shopping Notebook - Marshalls Shoes + New Fall items!

This time of year is a challenging time to shop. On one aisle you have summer clearance calling your name and on the next aisle is new fall merchandise..what is a fashionista to buy? It's sometimes hard to resist yet another pair of shorts for only ten dollars (or even less!), but at what time do you stop buying for the summer and start shopping for fall? Stores are literally banking that despite summer heat waves, you are ready to shop sweaters and boots months ahead time.

So..are you still shopping summer clearance or are you ready to buy your fall wardrobe?

 Juicy Couture Nautical "swimsuit" $49.99

This adorable and I use the term swimsuit loosely, as I don't know how much swimming

can be done while wearing this, but you will look super cute lounging by the pool!

 

HUGE shipment of BCBGeneration Sandals $29.99

 

  

  Made in Italy brand on clearance for $49 ( sells for over $200 at regular price in other stores!)

My store had a few aisles of clearance bags, a great time to score a quality bag

 and still have many months to use it.

New FALL merchandise:

Nine West Messenger Bags $39.99 ( currently in dept. stores for over $80) 

Available in brown, black and grey.

The quality of these bags were so nice, seemed like a more expensive brand that just Nine West. 

 

Betsey Johnson Leopard travel bag $39.99 (this is also at Macys now for around $80) 

  New fall boots were being  loaded on the shelves. Now is the time to buy when selection is brand new and sizes are fully stocked!

Rampage Tribal Inspired Leather Boots $29.99 (also currently in stores for around $80)

 

Bandolino Dressy Wedge $29.99

A steal at this price! 

Work appropriate with a chic bow (very Kate Spade) 

Michael Kors Patent Loafers $59.99 (reg $110)

I have never seen this classic style from this designer at this price! 

Fingers crossed they continue to carry more MK shoes.

 

 

Home Department:

 This stool looked straight out of a French vintage store from TJ Maxx.

 

Kate Spade Stationary $5.99

signed, sealed, delivered.

 

Storage ottomans starting at only $19.99 in cool patterns at Homegoods .

How chic is this Parisian inspired hat box (..that I made my boyfriend hold up for the pic.)?!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great shopping week fashionistas and thanks for reading!
