I haven't been super impressed with Gap's spring stuff this year, so haven't bought much from them. (Gack - like the jean overall dress? really?) I've had more luck at Old Navy & BRep. That said, some pretty things:

New Pencil Skirt ($44.50)


 Foldover Canvas Tote













Also, 6pm.com has some great deals on Kate Spade sunglasses & shoes. These Torys sunnies are only $24.42 (ret $81.40).  And these Lydia sandals are adorable for $140 (ret $350)

30% off sale at banana republic & cute jjill sale items.

I had a lovely few hours at the mall by myself today. Sooo much nicer to be able to actually peruse the racks and try on clothes without getting into a mad sweat while throwing cheerios at your toddler. Anyway, I digress...

I popped into Banana Republic first, and was happy to hear that they had 30% off all of their sale stuff (in store, not online). Was a bit of a madhouse on a Saturday, but I snuck in there and managed to snag the adorable Drawstring Skirt in Rootbeer Float for about $21. It's a great color, feels like silk (but isn't). Very cute with even just a white t-shirt. Also grabbed plain purple tshirt for $10, and 2 winter knit hats (ivory & grey) for $10 each. Used my $10 rewards card, so was a grand total of $50 for some great pieces. 













Jjill had a little sale going on as well. 30% off one full-priced item and then their regular sale section (seemed to have recently dropped a bit).  I snagged 3 unexpected pieces b/c they were way cuter on than expected.

Slouchy pocket sweater dress is so freaking adorable - love. Will be super cute with jeans, tights or leggings. $49 (1/2 off) isn't a bad price at all for it either. Since it's "slouchy" (code for big), I went with an XS (I'm a 6) and it was perfect.

















Easy ruffled dress - ($49.99 - 50% off) This looks sooo bad and huge on the model here. Wasn't going to try on, but thought I'd give the XS petite a try....and it was perfect. Loved it. Would be great with white leggings or jeans too even.












Pure Jill Wrap Tunic - Another "tunic" sized piece, but I had it in light sage already, and love it. Had to get the grey ($29.99) - great for lounging around, but still cute with some leggings or jeans. Thin material. Got a S in this.













Lots of neutral purchases today, but think they're going to be go-to basics I'll use a ton. Hooray!

back from a break. target steals and a fun snag from jcrew.

I'm back from a bit of a blogging and shopping break!  Had to post about the great deals found at Target today.

1) Hip2Save posted that there is a $5 Target coupon for Merona handbags right now (here's a link to a google printout fo 6 from slickdeals.net:  http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B89iRdd-lD4iZDcwNWUxNGYtYWRiZS00ZmE3LTkzYjQtYWM1YTQ0MmYzYTM3&hl=en ). There are a bunch of them on clearance right now, so you can score possibly free bags - hooray!  I got one purse for free (it was priced at $4.98) and one for $2 (priced at $7).  Can't beat 2 purses for $2!










2) Found a pile of adorable Liberty of London men's boxers on clearance for $2.98 each. Since most men don't want frilly floral boxers, that's probably why the sale. Anyway, soooo cute for summer pjs!



3) Pretty 14k jewelry on clearance there too. I snagged a couple necklaces and earrings with semi-precious stones for $10-15 each.



I have tried to steer clear of the Crewlade lately, but popped in quickly on Sunday while I was by myself (and no screeching toddler to soothe), and happened to find the Crystal Devote Necklace for $80 on sale, and had to snag it. I wore it to a wedding this weekend with my navy silk sophia dress and it was fabulous. I got many complements on it. :)
