"Night At The W" – Winning @Walgreens
This morning on EyeOpenerTV there was a featured interview with Tim Gunn of Project Runway. He is partnering with Walgreens in introducing “Night At The W”, an exclusive cosmetic event being held Thursday, 4:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the stores. I was curious and wanted more information so after work I stopped at my local Walgreens in Middletown. My favorite store associate, Anna Marie was busily working the department, which as usual was fully stocked and neatly organized. The new displays provided an upscale look with a clean and inviting layout, there definitely will be a lot of activity at this “Get Ready For The Red Carpet” event on Thursday.
Of course I am always on the look out for those orange, clearance stickers and tonight I spied Sally Hansen Salon Effects and Nail Polish on sale. I am really looking forward to Thursday night and along with my Walgreens Rewards card I think I will come out a winner.
Have a good night – Smooches!

OOTD – Thrifted Tops Tuesday
Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
Being the sleepy head that I am, getting up every week day at 6 am definitely does not give me a thrill. However, once I’m up and moving the situation greatly improves especially when I see God’s Glory. Waking up to a beautiful day provides the motivation to have a prosperous one and I hope it’s the same for you.
The rays of sunshine across the frost covered grass gave me pause to stop and say, “Thank you God for another beautiful day”!
Stripped Top and Easy Spirit Cardigan – thrifted from GW Boutique // Gauchos – closet staple that I refuse to give up
Brown Suede Boots – Ross // Necklace & Earring Set – Jewlrymax.net // Bracelets – Rainbow Shops

OOTD – Sunny Monday
Hello Friends and Happy Monday.
I hope you had a nice weekend and are starting off your work week in a positive, stress free way! This morning standing on a sunny deck I couldn’t help but think of Spring with the forecast of temps to rise above 56 degrees by the end of the week. I am however, not naive to think that we won’t be hit with snow and this deck will be covered before the end of February!
On Friday I stopped at GW Boutique (Goodwill) and thrifted a few items all for $3.75, including this sleeveless, black and white tank. It was new, with the tags from Marshall’s still attached. Goodwill is also getting bougie because some of their tags read “Goodwill Boutique”!
Sleeveless Tank and Red Skirt – GW Boutique // Cardigan Sweater and Shoes – Ross // Statement Necklace – New York & Company

OOTD – Son said, "what?" Saturday
Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had an enjoyable day.
I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping Ginger tea trying to accept the fact that son #2 is no longer my baby. He and I had planned to go to Best Buy to purchase Dragon Speak software and an external DVD drive for his Notebook. I asked him to take a few shots before leaving and as he reluctantly did, he informed me that we had to be home by 4:00 because his “girlfriend” was coming over. “Girlfriend…girlfriend…did he say girlfriend?”
I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet
Huh, what did he just say?
Don’t get me wrong, he is 16 and has had crushes on girls before but this was going to be the first time I was actually going to meet “his girlfriend”, the first time a girl was coming to the house. I know…I know…but I’m gonna need something stronger than this tea!
And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!
Just grin and bear it…..
Mossimo boots – GW Boutique // Black Jeans – closet staple // Leopard print top – NY&Company // Neon Vest – Old Navy (clearance $3.49)

Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Boscov's and New York & Company Clearance Sales
I very rarely if ever pay full retail price for any article of clothing or accessory and I rarely if ever shop at the stores in the mall. However, yesterday was one of those rare occasions because I stopped at Best Buy which just happens to be next door to the Concord Mall. I love the various clothing lines at Boscov’s but you really have to take your time because of how they have them set up throughout the floor. It was late and I was heading out the door but a 75% off clearance sign grabbed my attention. I only spent a few minutes going through a few racks and purchased 3 items, totaling $32.74.
NY Collection Embellished top with bat wing sleeves ($48.00) on sale 5.99
Brown Premise Pencil skirt ($58.00) on sale $14.50
Chaus knit top with faux leather shoulders ($49.00) on sale $12.25
No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to find anything at H&M, but at New York & Company it’s a different story. Not that I needed more jewelry, but when the sign reads 80% off, it’s too hard to resist! I purchased two statement necklaces one in red and another in blue for $4.59 each, original price was $22.94.
Leopard print casual sweater ($36.95) for $11.08, and sleeveless green top ($36.94) for $7.39
If you are looking to add more jewelry to your collection, I suggest you check out New York & Company – I may go back because they are sending me a coupon for completing the survey printed on the receipt!
