J. CREW AT TJ MAXX

Yes, that day has come. I went to TJ Maxx today after work to see if it was true. It is. J. Crew has appeared at TJ Maxx. I saw shoes, but they seemed like the quality you'd find at the outlet (the stiff rubber sole kind). I saw driving mocs in my size but they weren't that pretty, so I turned them down at $20. There were linen dresses for $20. I was going to get a cap sleeved ruffle navy wrap dress but decided against it when I found a wool dress that reminded me of Audrey Hepburn. On the way out, I snagged a black 100% cashmere zipup cardigan for $14.99. It's practically the same one my boyfriend bought me for Christmas a few years ago for at five times that price. The cashier admired it for a long time, and asked me where I found it. My mom ended up taking it from me when I made it home (I visited her today and will be staying with them for part of the weekend). I can't believe it. J. Crew is really going down the tubes.

Let's just say this is one way to spice up your work wardrobe. Mine is so boring right now I could scream. Can you imagine these with your basic pencil skirt or peeking out under black trousers or Friday dark denims? I love black and brown in the same shoe; it gets attention without being loud. A more affordable option is the Nine West Tutti Platform Pump (amazon):

BONANZLING

I listed several pieces of jewelry on Bonanzle earlier today; I really hope Bonanzle takes off (if it hasn't already)! My websites are listed to the right, but here are my items anyway. I'm about to list a couple pairs of shoes as well.

MORE SPRING SHOES

Someone posted these on TPF, and I love them. I want them. Where can I find these shoes?

J. Crew Vachetta Sandal in Driftwood. Orig. $88 down to $29.99 available in 7. Of course I will be thinking of these all day. I wish all sandals looked good on me; sadly I must try them on to see, and J. Crew is *shudder* final sale.

SCARFACE AKA THE SHAME OF THE NATION

Doing the Beyonce

Boyfriend and I have been watching the original Scarface tonight (1932). I've watched it before so I am blogging at the same time. It's truly inspiring. Below are Ann Dvorak (brunette) and Karen Morley (blonde). Photos found on the intarnet and are not being used for commercial purposes.
