Surely you've noticed my recent posts have involved quite a bit of TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I can't help it--every time I walk into that store, I find so many shoes tops skirts dresses scarves hats blazers. With SUCH good prices, it's amazing I'm not there all the time! Remember THIS post? Well, my room is actually getting painted this week. Yeah, a bit of a late start. I've been keeping my entire wardrobe downstairs, so getting dressed isn't as fun anymore. But I know once I have my own ginorrrmmous closet, it is going to be SO FUN. The reason I'm talking about my closet room is that, much like my clothing selections, I bought most of my decorations and furniture for my room from Home Goods, which is a sister company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

So basically the point of this post is that I love TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Homegoods. They have anything and everything.

See all of the ways I've worn TJ Maxx here.

ALSO--when I wore this skirt from Kharisma Boutique to school a few weeks ago, I got ENDLESS compliments. It sure is a standout!

Feathered Ear Cuff Giveaway!

SKIRT c/o KHARISMA BTQ

Today's giveaway comes from the Etsy shop, MJAT! I was sent the On Golden Wings ear cuff and the Chained Double Rings. I love them both (especially the ear cuff :P) and love knowing that they are both original and handmade! It's so cool to think that the pieces I'm wearing aren't mass produced--as in 10,000 other girls don't own the same ones. They're JUST mine :)

The pictures above show the different ways I've styled them. Or, you can see how I styled the ear cuff here and the rings here.

Up for grabs is a custom, handmade, feathered ear cuff! Made with real feathers (not like the gold one on my ear cuff), it's a dramatic statement piece that is a perfect addition to your jewelry collection!  Yeah, this piece is sure to be original!

How fun is this dress for summer? The colors and the swirly seaweed pattern remind me of my childhood for many reasons.

First, I LOVED mermaid movies. There was The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Aquamarine, The Little Mermaid II, The Little Mermaid III, The Little Mermaid TV series (do you get the gist?)--and even non-mermaid movies like Free Willy and Shark Tale. I didn't like Nemo, although I could relate to Dory since our names rhymed. What it all boils down to though, really, is The Little Mermaid.

I ESPECIALLY loved The Little Mermaid. I could belch out a tune sort of like Ariel could (haha...not)--and I even had the Ariel BARBIE doll. She didn't have a tail, but the Ketchup red hair was enough for me! I can remember taking baths as a little girl and bringing Ariel in with me, because I knew that she missed the sea ;) I was even Ariel for Halloween one year!

Lastly, I was a swimmer. Every summer, and for a few years in the winter as well, I'd break out my cap and goggles, my one-piece swim suits, and prepare for the awful racerback tan-line and matching pasty white stomach. It was so fun to spend my mornings at the pool with my friends, doing laps, and than staying at the pool way way past morning. My brother is now the swimmer of the family, swimming almost every day and getting crazy fast times and stuff. Let me tell you--he is VERY good.

I don't do anything crazy like dress up as Ariel, watch The Little Mermaid infinite times, or get AS awful of tan-lines anymore. Oceans and mermaids and swimming aren't a big factor in my life anymore. Not because I don't have the time, but because I'm just not as interested. But in a strange/crazy/really awesome way, this dress allows me to become the mermaid that I always wished to be. And sometimes, still do wish to be.
