Weekend Finds

This weekend I seriously scored big. I found so many great deals, that I just had to share with you!

First, I'll start with Goodwill, since it is my favorite store.

I found two brand spankin' new belts for $1.99 each:

This one is so pretty! It is coral, despite what the picture shows. This will be perfect for spring

The next one is just plain adorable:

It's a metallic hot pink bow is what sold me! How cute would this be with a little black dress!?!?!

Next, I found this necklace! I had been eyeballing it at target a while ago, and to my surprise I found the exact same one at GW brand new! This was $3.99

These were my most exciting find! They are Carlos real leather/suede boots. I can't wait to pair these with a spring dress! They were $7.99

I also got this light sweater for $3.99. I loved the silver thread running through it!

If you read yesterday's post, then you saw those keds that I really wanted from Kohls. I didn't get those, but I did find these for a loft $4.99 at GW. I think they are awesome! They remind me of the 90's.

and that's everything I found at Goodwill!

Great trip huh!?!?

Next, I hit up Old navy!

I was armed with a 20% off coupon plus a $15 off $50 one too!

MY mom, friend and I found some great things!

There were lots of things that I wanted, but wasn't willing to pay full price. 

Especially because I find that old navy is constantly changing merchandise therefore things that are full price one week will be on clearance the next.

Take for example these flats:

I saw them when they first got them in, and wanted them.

I waited and waited and low and behold, 

they were on clearance 3 weeks later.

Yep, you read that right. $5.97.

Plus 20% they came to $4.78.

Pretty freaking awesome if you ask me!

But the finds didn't stop there:

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, that does say $4.47!

plus 20% they came to $3.58.

For black wedges, people!! 

They are a stable in any wardrobe.

My most expensive item was this shirt:

This was seriously the softest, most comfortable shirt ever.

{it's a more vibrant green in person, and extremely wrinkly for some reason}

It was on sale for $19, plus the coupon

so it was really $15.20

but, combined with the things my friend got, we used the $15 off coupon,

so it was even less.

Next was Target.

I only got one thing, but it's such an amazing deal, I had to share.

Here is the shirt I bought:

Prabal Gurung For Target Lace-Front Blouse

Which is still sold online for full price at $34.99

now, you may be thinking

"that's not a good deal" 

oh you just wait, my friend.

While flipping through the 70% off clearance section at target, I stumbled upon, yes you guessed it, this shirt:

I saw the lace and instantly stopped to look at it closer. I also remember seeing it on other bloggers pages, so I had to see why it was on clearance.

This is why:

Apparently someone bought it online and returned it, and for some odd reason they marked it down to 75% off. 

but, hey, I wasn't complaining!

Lastly, I went to Kohls.

I bought this dress

for $28.60

which isn't that great of a deal, but I loved it, and I had some money saved up, so I splurged.

 but I did find a necklace at a fabulous price:

I paid $2.08 for it. 

I'm noticing a trend, though. I think I found a lot of neon this week.

The flats at old navy, the lace blouse at target, and then this necklace at kohls!

Anyways, those were my finds!

What have you scored on recently? Have you found any great deals that I'm missing out on?

Tell me in the comments below!

Canton Finds!

As promised, I thought I'd share today what we found on our day trip to Canton. 

and upon taking these pictures, I had a realization. 

80% of what we bought was jewelry. I'm not sure if thats a good thing, or bad thing. 

ok, I'm going with good. 

You see, Canton is like pinterest. It gives you so many good ideas (regarding decor, etc.) that I know I can replicate on my own, without overpaying for it.

Soooo, Jewelry was the only thing we really wanted to buy, plus its so cheap, how could you not?

This was the first item we purchased. My mom stopped by this antique booth and fell in love with the jewel tones. I have to agree, I could totally pair these with a blue top and my brown boots.

I think these were around $7.

We bought this brooch from the same lady. It is definitely an antique, but will look so cute with a scarf or on a cardigan. 

This was $7.

Next, we stopped by a jewelry booth which was super cheap, but high quality. 

We always check quality. Jewelry breaks so easily, and the worst thing is when you spend good money on something that lasts one wear. As cheap as something may be, quality matters more. 

Anyway, We liked these because they have just the right amount of sparkle, and will look great in the winter!

These were $3(!!!) and good quality

These are from the same lady. I cant wait to pair these with a cute fall outfit, because they are such a beautiful amber color! So perfect for fall!

These were $6

Oh, how I loved these. Actually, I loved the entire booth. It was full of shabby chic jewelry and at reasonable prices. 

These were only $5 and were handmade! Cant beat that!

Once again, these are from the same booth as above. I loved the blue pearls! I had never seen anything like these before, and knew I had to have them. 

$5 again.

This necklace is so much prettier in person! My mom loves pearls, and she loved the flower attached to it. and you guessed it, it was a great price, so we couldn't pass it up. 

$6

This is the last jewelry piece we bought. It is so beautiful and antique looking. I cant wait to layer this with scarves and other necklaces.  

The picture doesn't do this scarf justice. It is a gorgeous subtle light green mixed with an olive green.

I have an addiction to scarves so I couldn't let this one go.

$8

Ok, so this is the booth I went to that was simply AH-mazing. I seriously could've spent hours there. They had bins full of little tags like this one. I was digging through, just looking, when I saw the butterflies and books, obviously right up my alley. Then I read the quote and almost fell over. For real, it is one of my favorites. You can even see my Pin on Pinterest (obviously they have the citation wrong) So for $2, it was mine.

I'm thinking of framing it similar to this.

Oh, by the way, here is the full Quote.

Then we found this antique military box for $5. There are so many things that can be done with it, but we decided to use it to replicate this for fall!

and finally....

This amazing old window which was tranformed into a chalk board. We plan on making the other side magnetic to hold pictures. As you can see, I've already decorated it for halloween! ( a sneak peak of my upcoming house tour decorated for Halloween!)

I got the idea from none other than Pinterest!

We only paid $10 for the window (already chalkboard-ed!)

I believe that it was our best find!

Thats all folks!
