Mama would be proud ya'll!

Hello lovely blog world!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!!!
Before I show you what Santa brought me, I have to share my super awesome deals I got on a trip to Target last night!
First, my mom got me a Starbucks gift card and I saw these cute little ornaments at the Starbucks kiosk in Target and thought, "what the heck" I'll use part of my gift card and get one of these little bad boys to put on the tree next year. I didn't mind paying the $4.50 for them since I had a gift card. Well I got up to the register $1.29!!!! That's right, like 75% off!!! I promptly turned around and grabbed another one!!! I also got a big desk calendar in the dollar section for .50 cents!!! Originally $1.00 and then I got a couple of sets of ornaments for $1.49!!
And the biggest thing of all!!!! Tonight I'm going back to buy a 7.5 ft prelit Christmas tree for next year.......originally $129.99...........now $35.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah!!!!!! How excited am I?!?!
So all in all, a very satisfactory trip to Target!

@@@@@@@@@@
Now what did Santa bring me?????
I actually bought these cuties for myself at Payless for 16.99 with a 20% off coupon on top of that!!


Hubby gave me some money for Christmas so we took a little trip to the Williamburg outlets and I got this blazer and pants from Brooks Brothers, as well as a couple of shirts for work!!! The whole Brooks Brothers store was 50% off!!! I'm not even kidding!



And finally I took the plunge and am now in the Ugg club!!! I ordered these right before Christmas and I was hoping they'd be here before New Year's but I don't think they are supposed to get here until after. Oh well.................the worst part about this is I've never even tried Ugg's on before, but I just know that I'll love them!!!!

@@@@@@@@@@

And I would like to introduce you to my newest obsession, I'm sure most of you are already familiar or fans of Gossip Girl.........as proof from the Uggs that I just bought above, I'm usually a little late to the party train, but oh my gosh this show is addictive!!!



I ordered the first season on my trusty Netflix account and Hubby watched a couple of episodes with me. About halfway through one of the episodes he turns to me and says, "These people aren't in high school?????!" and I told him they were and this was Manhattan's extremely weathly teens and sadley probably the way that those kids actually live, and yes girls in high school these days tend to look like they are in there 20's. He just looked at me like I was crazy.........men......

  9. Our christmas card photo was very misleading. I was wearing heels and the ground was a little bit taller where I was standing. :)Like I said every little bit helps!

    Oh, and I actually went into Payless the other day and bought those exact same shoes that you wrote about...how can you possibly beat $16.99?!

  12. You are going to LOVE Gossip Girl. It is very addicting.

    And Ugg's might be the most comfortable shoes ever.
