I Got a Dollar I Got a Dress

Hello loveleigh's and Happy Valentine's Day!!

If you know me, I'm not a super big fan of V-Day. I don't hate it or anything, I just honestly think it's overrated! I'm definitely NOT one of those girls who wants flowers and a big fancy dinner out. I do think hearts are cute (I've always been a fan) so I do have on a slightly festive outfit!

I don't shop at JCPenney much. I do get emails from them but usually just delete them. I got one yesterday that said something about $5 off. Sometimes $ off in emails can be good but most of the time it's get $ off after you spend a certain amount (Example $10 off $50 purchase). I'm not usually interested in those. All I really care about is the $ off ones where the $ off is the same amount as the minimum purchase! I've gotten a lot of things free (or had to pay very little) this way and today was no exception!

This email was for $5 of a minimum purchase of $5....however, it was only valid online. This also usually makes me uninterested because typically shipping is more than the actual item. However, I figured I'd check to see how much shipping was and found that you can ship to store for free! We have a JCP at the mall so it wouldn't be a big deal for me to pick it up in store. So, of course, I head right to the clearance section online to see if there was actually anything listed for $5. There was actually quite a bit in the Juniors clearance section starting at just $3!

I browsed through and came across this dress that was on clearance for $6.

Trixxi Woven Belted Cross-Back Dress

They only had 1 size left and apparently I must have gotten the last one because right after I placed the order it says they are sold out! After putting in my $5 off code and having it shipped to the store for free my total with tax was $1.09!

Hopefully it will fit! (But if not it's not like I lost a lot of money!) ;)

Have a loveleigh Valentine's Day everyone!!

Robed

Hello loveleigh's!

I have been watching these robes for a while at Target. They came out around the holidays and I thought about asking for them for Christmas. However, I don't think asking for stuff from Target because it would kill me to have someone spend full price on something that I could get later for 70% less - ha!! :)

I already have a big, fluffy, long robe that I got for Christmas last year (it even has my name on it). It's so soft and cozy...it's like wearing a blanket! It's perfect for the cold winter, but I also like having a shorter, lighter robe that I can throw on when it's warmer (or when I'm doing my hair...I get too hot in my big fluffy robe when I'm drying my hair!) so I this would be perfect! This one is short and light..it does have the really soft sherpa lining in the hood and on the bottom of the sleeves, but the rest of it is just the soft, light terry material.

Xhilaration® Junior's French Terry Robe With Sherpa Lined Hood

$6.58

My hardest decision was trying to decide on a color...and not to buy 1 in each color (I have a really, really bad habit of doing this!) It comes in pink, gray, purple and turquoise. They didn't have the pink in my size so I decided on the gray since I thought it would go with the most. However, my willpower of only buying 1 may weaken next time I'm at Target! ha! (I mean c'mon, a robe for $6.58?) :)

For those of you who like to shop way ahead, these would make great Christmas gifts for 2013!!

Have a loveleigh day everyone!!

Loveleigh Leopard

Hello loveleigh's!

So I've decided to add to my ever-growing leopard shoe collection from Target. I figure I need a pair for each season (or this is the excuse I tell myself). Let's recap:

I already have these for "winter" (or fall...or early chilly spring days):

and these for "summer" (or late spring/early fall):

as well as these for "fall" (and warmer winter days and spring):

So of course I needed a pair for "spring"! (or to wear in fall and warmer, non-snowy winter days)

Women's Mossimo® Verona Pumps - Animal

$8.98 (in store)

Okay, I think my leopard shoe collection is finally complete! (and I spent $30-$35 total!!) :)

Don't forget you can follow my blog (several options over to the right) or you can follow me on Instagram (User Name: loveleighshopaholicconfessions) for even more great deals/finds!! (or feel free to follow me on both!) :)

Have a loveleigh Friday everyone!

Seeing Sequin

Hello loveleigh's!

It has been quite a while since I've posted! Thought I'd share with you my recent finds at my favorite place......

A lot of the winter/holiday shoes are now on clearance (70% off) at Target so of course I'm taking full advantage!!

Here are a couple of pairs I snatched up:

Women's Mossimo® Katley Bling Ankle Boot - Black

$10.48 (in store)

Women's Mossimo® Varuni Blingy Pump - Gold

$9.88 (in store)

I think sequin is a classic for Christmastime...I don't think it will ever really go out of style! (Now, I'm specifically referring to the element of sequin, not necessarily the item it is on!) I think there are definitely do's and don'ts to sequin and glitter, but if you do it right it's fun to wear! (though this skirt didn't end up working out..oh well!) I already wore the ankle boots to church with a dress and leggings! They are a more subtle sequin, while the gold pumps you could probably spot a mile away!! I'm not sure if I'll wear them anytime soon, but if anything, I'll save them for Christmas/Holiday parties for 2013!! They also had the pumps in black and pewter.

Have a loveleigh day everyone!

Sequence Sequin

Thirty Three For Four at Target

Hello loveleigh's!

I went to Target a few days ago. (Shocker, I know). It had been awhile (a week or longer) since I'd browsed the clearance and even longer since I had been to the one by my work (which is one of my fav Targets) so I went on my lunch break for a quick fix. Here are my findings! (*Keep in mind that more often than not things are always cheaper in store than online, which is the case here!!)

Mossimo® Women's Pullover w/ Stitch Accent  

in Cosmo Pink 

$7.48

This is a very see thru knit sweater that is 3/4 sleeves. (You'll need to wear a cami under...personally, I would wear something either the same color or a darker color, otherwise the cami stands out more rather than blends in.)

Xhilaration® Juniors Strappy Peplum Dress - Zig Zag Floral

$7.48

I really, really like this dress! Besides the price, it fit me perfectly, the fabric is silky, it has a fun zipper up the back and...it has pockets!!! I love, Love, LOVE dresses with pockets!! I probably won't wear this for a while since it's more of a spring/summer dress but it's fun to buy something and save it and then when that season rolls you already have something waiting for you!

Mossimo® Womens Convertible Maxi Skirt

in Dark Heather Grey

$5.38

A oh-so-versatile skirt for $5 and change. Need I say more?

Women's Mossimo® Kenna Wedge Ankle Boot

$10.48

I've been wanting a little more leopard in my life! (I now have 3 pairs of leopard shoes...one for each type of weather...sandals for hot weater, flats for in-between weather and ankle boots for cold weather!) You can never be too prepared :) ha!!

Those are my findings from that trip to Target...there's been another trip since then to a different Target with more findings!! I'll post those later this week! ;)

Have a loveleigh day!



Trick or Yummy Treats

Happy Halloween loveleigh's!

As you all know, I love fall. When I was at Target a few weeks ago I walked by the cookie section and these caught my eye.

Gingerbread Spice Cookies. They sounded yummy so I figured I would give them a try. Doesn't hurt that they are all natural too!

First, they are super easy to make-they are premade/precut and come with a sugar packet inside. All you have to do is roll each one in the sugar and then put on a baking sheet and pop in the oven as directed. In about 10 minutes your house will smell heavenly and you'll have fall in cookie form.

Of course though, taste is the actual test. Store bought cookie dough can occassionally be pretty good.

Pretty Good does not describe these cookies. At all. THESE. COOKIES. ARE. AMAZING. I could seriously eat the whole batch at once (which is 24 cookies)....no I haven't done that (yet). One day I took 2 to work with me and was seriously disappointed because 2 is definitely not enough. You need to eat 4. At least. They keep running out of them at Target, so when I see them I stock up. I currently have 3 packages in my fridge right now. They say Limited Edition on the package but their website says they are available all year due to customer requests (SEE, I'm not the only one who loves them!). I hope the website is right because I might go into full panic mode if I can't have them anymore. I might be slightly obsessed.

Since I was so obsessed impressed by these cookies, I went to their website and told them! To my surprise a few days later I got this in the mail!

A HANDWRITTEN card (and a coupon!) :) This company has definitely won me over!!

So, for those of you who haven't tried these, go to their website or like them on Facebook (or both!), learn a bit about their company (they support things like art and children's cancer research!), find the nearest store to you that sells them (in my area - Target and Whole Foods) and try these delicious morsels ASAP!

Since it is Halloween, I wore black with a pop of orange today (this is as festive as I will get!)

Tonight we are going to see one of our all time favorite movies, The Young Frankenstein! We own this movie and watch it all the time but it's playing at the theater tonight so it'll be fun to see it on the big screen :) I plan on stopping by Starbucks on the way and getting a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (since I don't like hot drinks). Sounds like a perfect Halloween to me! (If you haven't guessed the hubby and I aren't super into Halloween!) :)

Have a loveleigh Halloween everyone!!
