Show & Tell: Shopping

This weeks theme for Show & Tell is Shopping. Now if you dont remember this here lil post, Ill clue you in that I have a major shopping problem :/

1. Tell us your favorite stores to shop at.
Target. Old Navy. Macys. Carters. Amazon. Best Buy.
Deal Sites: Zulily. Totsy. Groupon. Living Social. Hautelook.

2. What are you "signature pieces" to wear.. your go-to outfits?
Definitely jeans, tank top, and reefs or maxi dresses.

3. Show us your style through pictures {of you or pinterest finds}.
Sadly, I dont take alot of full length body pictures to be able to show you my style, but as I mentioned above, its normally jeans and tank. But these are definitely styles I love. (check out my style board on pinterest too!)

5. If you had to spend money on clothes or home items, which would you choose?
Thats a hard one. I feel like our house could be so much more decorated, yet I feel like I spend waaay more money on clothes than home items.

6. Show us your favorite accessories.
Honestly, i dont really wear alot of accessories. Just my wedding band and engagement rings, a bracelet and a purse. But I do admit I have alot of purses! the majority of which are Coach :D

7. Tell us in one sentence your philosophy behind shopping. {What makes you buy an item}
Well lets see, if its a good deal, or if i have a coupon for it, it usually comes home with me! hehe, bad I know, but honest none the less. lol

confessions of a shopaholic

Yes, I am here to admit, I have a problem. Like a BIG problem. And now, it not only has transferred from buying stuff for myself, but also for my son! Like crazy cute adorable things. And Ive actually been pretty good about not going to malls and stores as to not tempt me to buy things. But for some ungodly reason these emails with great deals keep taking over my inbox!

zulily.totsy.hautelook.groupon.livingsocial.amazonlocaldeals.googleoffers

you would think it would be easy just to go turn off the email prefernces in each of these sites. And yes, I have done that. But I cant keep myself away. I tell myself, "Ill just see whats on sale today," and then I get sucked in. I CANT MISS THIS DEAL!!! aaahhhh!!

so yeah, basically this morning I went on a little mini shopping spree over at zulily. I couldnt pass up all the adorable surfer dude clothes for my baby boy. I mean come on? we live in south florida, five mins from the beach, of course he has to be a mini surfer dude!!!

yes I did really just by all of this. But come on how adorable is it? Mini Hurley & Quicksilver? And have you noticed I have a thing for owls? not really sure when this obsession began, but I couldnt pass up that adorable hat!

Anyways, they all have lots of good deals. If you havent checked them out, beware, you could become a shopaholic like me!

Dont say I didnt warn you!

just in case you still want to go buy some things:

(and if you go onto retailmenot.com and search for Zulily, the first coupon if you click to activate you can get 10% off until 10/31/12)

help!!!! hair dilemma!

I need some major help. Im am so indecisive when it comes to making decisions. Even just where to eat dinner tonight (any suggestions?). And tomorrow I finally made an appointment to get my hair cut. The last time I got my hair cut was before the wedding. That means November. That means a looooooong time. (yes Im not only indecisive, Im also a procrastinator).

And I absolutely love my hairstylist Jennifer. Ive been going to her since I was in highschool. But she also works full time as a medical assistant (i think, not exactly sure what kind, but I know she wears scrubs lol). So basically she only works at the salon every other Saturday. Which is reason number one that I have waited so long. I know, not really an excuse, but still.

So again, now that its Friday evening I have to figure out how I want my hair done. Here are a couple of my arguing ~~with myself~~ points:

Descision #1: How much do I cut? I love my long hair. I always dream about getting a short little bob, but seriously? I look like a mushroom with short hair (maybe Ill show you one of my highschool pics and then you cant argue with me on this point)
Descision #2: What color? Now this is where it gets a little tricky. I love/hate my natural color. Its like a medium to dark brown. I also love highlights. However, with highlights it requires alot of maintenance (problem: refer to paragraph 1, procrastination, doesnt help maintenance) Plus, Im not sure on the whole color treatment issue while pregnant, and if I get pregnant soon (which were hoping for) then will it be an issue keeping up my highlights? So dark mysterious brown? Or Light brown with highlights? Or Dark with red highlights?
Descion #3: Bangs or No Bangs? I like the whole long side-sweeping bang thing, not really too into the whole blunt bang across the forehead though. However, my general manager at the restaurant hates long sweeping bangs because they are aways in the way and Im constantly messing with my hair during work. But I just think they take away from my huge forehead thing going on. lol

So, how do I make a decision you ask? Well I spend all day on the InStyle: Hollywood Makeover site and try on hairstyles. Which in the end makes it even more difficult. So please, Im asking, no BEGGING you to help me decide before tomorrow mornings hair appointment.

Thank you all in advance!!!!

target tuesday: link up

OMG, Im loving this link up from Tara over at Fabulous bu Evil

Its all about what youre loving at Target this week. Now its hard for me to pinpoint what Im loving, because, well I.LOVE.EVERYTHING.FROM.TARGET. Seriously, i think I have a problem. I could spend all day at Target. Me, my sis, and my mom actually meet up there and spend about 6 3 hours there. Hubs wont even go with me to Target anymore because he cant stand being there for so long. And let me just tell you, I would rather him not go. I enjoy it much more without him. lol.
