Let me just say, I am not paid in any way shape or form by TJMaxx to market. The only gratification I get is that euphoric feeling when I make score after score with some of the best brand named purchases, knowing my peers have paid all too much for the same item. That said, a rush of endorphins flooded my brain when I saw a pretty green, leaf print peplum-styled tank with a corset front. The canvas strings hung playfully from the eyelets. It screamed my name. How did I almost miss this? I quickly looked at the price (affordable), and the size (it could be tailored) and managed to see the Leifsdottir tag stiking out from the back. "TJMaxx now has Leifsdottir," I thought. Hopefully, the woman who I almost knocked down to get to the blouse understood that it was Leifsdottir. Upon trying the blouse on, I found that you should actually purchase one size up. Great! No alterations needed.You can find the cypress print top at the TJMaxx in Buckhead Loop for $79.99.

I was just nearing the end of the entire purse section. At the end of a long line of gorgeous purses, there it was. Just when I thought I was finished. There it was a, beautiful magneta Michael Kors tote with leather handles. I had not seen anything like it. The color was a rich fun pop of purple that screamed, "Buy me." Needless to say, I did not, but my mind keeps wandering back to it, as I only saw one. If you are interested the purse was on clearance at the TJMaxx HomeGoods on Cobb Parkway.

I broke the fast! Lent is over and I am back to old habits, of course considering 40 days of new revelations. Nevertheless, I found a couple of great deals. This week's posts are dedicated to the TJMaxx Home Goods on Cobb Parkway, my absolute favorite. I got a warm welcome on Saturday, inquiring into my whereabouts. It is nice to know a girl is missed. After an inspiring message from Fred Castleberry of Unabashedly Prep, I was feeling a bit of my roots- classic prep. I may have been the only four-year old kid who begged for saddle oxfords and penny loafers. My mind, already finely attuned to khaki's and polos, was geared to full on prep today. Of course the first things I noticed in the purses were a handful of Tommy Hilfiger plaid canvas handbags, more mini-totes if you will, ranging in price from $19.99 to $24.99. I had to leave mine at the store, but you are welcome to go get yours!

It's been a long time, but now that I am back I have exciting news to share. SCAD Atlanta has several excitinglectures schedule for this week. This week's activities commenced with a lecture given by Scott Schumann of the "Sartorialist," the fame blog noted for its street style pictures. The blog, which began in 2005, was one of the first of its kind, using social media to document the fashion looks of ordinary people. This week's reamaining events include a lecture tomorrow at 6pm given by Fred Casteleberry entitled "How to Suceed in Fashion Without Really Trying;" a lecture given by Waris Ahluwalia of House of Warris, Wednesday at 6 pm; and two events on Thursday, a film screening and discussion celebrating the 45th Anniversary of "valley of the Dolls," and a film screening at 6 pm on "Bill Cunningham of New York."

Next week, on March 13, to celebrate it's fifth anniversary (gosh, time flies when you're having fun shopping) of Go Target, Target is re-releasing 37 of its celebrated pieces, priced reasonably from $24.99 to $44.99. Famed lines by Thakoon, Zac Posen, and Tucker by Gaby Basora are among the many tempting choices. Among the dresses that will make their way back to Target are the ikat print black Thakoon dress and the *** color sleeveless Rodarte slip dress that managed to slip between my fingers. I know you shouldn't live in the future, but I can't wait for next Sunday!
