T.J. Maxx/Marshall's Gift Card Giveaway!

**UPDATE: This giveaway has ended. Thank you to all who entered.**

Does your spring wardrobe need a little sprucing up? Why not head to T.J Maxx or Marshall's. They have all the latest styles for a fraction of what you'd pay at a department store. Here are some other interesting facts that you might not know:

• Their buyers travel 40+ weeks per year to negotiate with more than 12,000 vendors in over 60 countries (vs. department stores who buy seasonally), giving them more opportunities to score great deals.
• There is tremendous buying power behind their two national chains. T.J. Maxx has over 900 stores in the US. Marshalls has over 820 stores in the US and Puerto Rico.
• T.J. Maxx and Marshalls’ nationwide distribution system allows for faster processing of goods to stores. Therefore, buyers can purchase merchandise up until the last minute of any given season – not only allowing them to respond to trends much more quickly than other retailers (who buy several seasons in advance), but also allowing them to “swoop in” and negotiate a better deal by waiting until a vendor is highly motivated to sell.

I bought this jacket at T.J. Maxx about a month ago. It's faux leather and I paid $29.99 for it. I've worn it several times and it's paid for itself in compliments.

I'm pretty sure this blue bathing suit cover-up was made for me.

And the shoes....don't even get me started on the shoes. Have you been to Marshall's lately? Their shoe department looks like it belongs in a department store. They have the top name brands at half the price. Everything is organized, easy to find and they have a HUGE selection.

Would you like to win a $25 gift card for T.J. Maxx/Marshall's?

T.J. Maxx/Marshall's Spring Fashion Preview

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the T.J. Maxx/Marshall's Spring Preview event. It was held at the Ames Hotel in Boston.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to shop. They also know that I rarely pay full price for things. T.J.'s and Marshall's are the perfect stores for me. They always have the cutest styles and big name brands. And their prices can't be beat.

They had handbags:

And hats:

and shoes. Oh my!

One of the things that I loved most about yesterday was seeing all the COLORS! I'm so tired of wearing black and gray. I crave color.

There were so many things that I picked up that my sister would call "Loopy clothes." Those are things that just look like me.

Like this purple dress:

This top is such a Loopy top:

And this bathing suit cover-up:

I also fell in love with this pillow.

It's pink. And ruffles. And oh, so girly.

Now, check out the price:

I thought for sure the price would be $39.99. It was only $12.99. It's reverse sticker shock!

Here's something that I will NOT be wearing this summer.

I'm sure this teeny-weeny-yellow bikini will look great on someone, just not me.

Here's the lovely Robin with a flower in her hair. Check out that beautiful smile.

We saw so many great brand names there like this Under Armour shirt for just $12.99. I've seen these in the stores for considerably more.

I also had fun chatting and catching up with some of my new blogging friends.
