Shopping & A Snow Day = Happiness

Snow days are an excellent opportunity to catch up on blogging!  I'm so happy to have this ~  hopefully once in the wintertime ~ snow day!  After all, I do enjoy linking up with The Blended Blog for:

1.  My favorite places to shop include:

*T.J. Maxx

*Marshall's

*Nordstrom:  specifically for special occasions, i.e. a mother of the groom dress!

2.  On Saturdays, my friend and I enjoy browsing in a local T.J. Maxx or Marshall's.  I do enjoy finding something serendipitously!

The "Endless Summer" pillow is from T.J. Maxx while the Baker Boy cap and scarf are from Norstrom!


3.  I do LOVE shopping for soap.  Having scented soap is such a luxury for me.  I often buy soap and a hand towel for a hostess gift.
 

4.  I don't enjoy shopping for bathing suits.  That's why I've been ordering mine from Beall's, Florida's Department Store.  After all, it's summer all year in Florida so they have an amazing selection of bathing suits that I can try on at home!

I found that hat in Marshall's.


 5.  My favorite recently purchased item has to be my new sweater from Boden.

When I saw this sweater, it was love at first sight.  I just had to wait until it was on sale, and for President's Day, there was an additional discount so I bought my longed-for sweater!


6.  Although my friend and I arrive at a store together, we do prefer to browse alone.  Plus, I have a routine.  I always start with the sales racks and finish in the shoe department.


7.  One of my best bargains was this skirt that I purchased in Savers.  


8.  I don't mind consignment stores for high-end items such as Lily Pulitzer.

9.  The best city for shopping has to be Boston, of course!  It was home to the original Filene's Basement = BEST store ever!

10.  I just love the way Reese Witherspoon dresses.  Her clothes are colorful and fun, and of course, she always looks perfect!

The best part of snow in March is that it melts quickly, and the roads get down to the pavement right away!  It's back to work tomorrow so I'm so happy that I got to blog two days in a row!

Who's your style icon?  My maiden name was "Reese" so that makes me like Reese Witherspoon even more!

Tanglewood Marionettes = AMAZING!

Our PTO treated us to the most magical and engaging puppet show by Tanglewood Marionettes called The Dragon King:

The best part of the show was when the dragon walked around the gym and squirted water on all the kids ~ they were totally enthralled!

National Hippo Day & An Amazing Perfect Poem!

Before writing my Morning Message, I always check in with Checkiday to see what exciting holiday is taking place.  Last Friday, luckily, it was National Hippo Day, and I found the most perfect poem to accompany this special day:













A Beautiful Winter Sweater ~ On Sale!





I've been in love with this Boden sweater from the moment I saw it!  Of course, it was way over my comfort zone at $130.  Luckily for me, the sweater finally went on sale for President's Day.  It was still over my price point, but I decided that it "sparked joy," and I bought it!

I've saved the best news for last!


I'm on February vacation!  Tomorrow I'm going to Chinatown in Boston for Chinese New Year and the dragon parade.  

Happy President's Day!
