WHAT I BROUGHT for $100 at TARGET

It’s time! Target Time, lol! Seems to be Target time at least once a week for me! Even better I’d when 5 of us, the Blonde Squad goes to Target! Even better if we all could’ve gone together! LOL!

Jill had a wonderful idea for a post: what we got at Target for $100! Just like I always love seeing what people buy on Amazon. I also love seeing what people get at Target, one of our most beloved institutions, lol.

If you read my blog way back in the day, you may remember a post I did in 2015 entitled 9 Things That Inevitably Happen at Target.

It was my post popular post that year and showed my newbie lack of blogging skills, but it was oh so fun and a favorite to this day!!!

Now I want to preface by saying that I did go over $100 but for a very good reason. If you are familiar with Target the Circle, you know that we often get great deals and last week when I went if you spent $125, you got $15 back on your Target Circle. Therefore, I spent $127 and got it lol.

$18 was for Mr. Nine’s Coke Zero (He’s addicted)! Soda pop is so incredibly expensive, so I only get it for him when it’s on sale and I happened to notice it was, so I grabbed him the three cases, so we won’t count that… Boring, lol! I'm addicted to Bailey's but I didn't get this seasonal goodness, just wanted to show you how pretty the bottle is, LOL! (Only in Stores)

I took my mama with me on this trip as my photog and videographer, lol. We had an interesting discussion in the deodorant aisle, LOL. I love the Native Brand of deodorant!

Of course, we had to try some things on. The clothing area is the first place I go. I think they conveniently put it in front at all Targets, lol. I really didn’t see much on this trip clothing wise but when I saw this DRESS, I immediately knew I had to have it because it was just the style I was looking at for my upcoming Europe trip. It fit like a glove. Some dressing rooms at Targets are not good at all, my local one is like trying things on in a shoebox. And another Target Circle Plus was dresses were 20% off so this was under $30!

Years ago, before many of the major tanning mousse is creams and lotions came on the scene, I used Jergens glow, and it worked great. However, a few years ago I got on the Loving Tan Mousse bandwagon, and I am so in love. When I saw at Target that Jergens had come out with A Tanning Mousse, I decided to get it and the mitt, along with the Melanin Glow Moisturizer and see how it compares to the others but is substantially cheaper.

Of course, I had to get some Easter candy! Mr. Nine loves the Reese's Eggs and we always have to have at least one Cadbury Egg a season! However, I do have a bone to pick with Reese’s, they stopped making the mini Reese’s eggs. The eggs they sell now in the bag are flat (eggs halced) and a little eggs with Reese’s peanut butter in them had the best ratio. I miss those!

And OK, I got a Bottle of My Favorite PROSECCO, LOL!

I loved the Pixi Eye Makeup remover pads, that they used to sell at target, but they stopped so since I love the cleanser so much, I got the Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Remover and it works great! Also got my favorite eyeliner: Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus and Crackers:Simple Mills Almond Crackers.

I am so excited to see what they got!

ONE TOP & ONE BAG STYLED 5 WAYS

You know it’s going to be a special post when it includes my fabulous Blonde Blog Friends!

You may remember we try to do a collaborative post every season and we decided that this summer it might be fun to style a couple pieces from different brands in different colors and in our own way! It’s going to be so fun for you to read everyone’s blogs and see the different ways we styled the Leilani top from AVENTURA and Sophia Bag from TEDDY BLAKE!

This top is cute as a button. Aventura clothing is so high quality and guess what? It’s ON SALE! This top comes in three beautiful colors and since everyone is telling me I look so good in blue, which I never even thought, I was so happy to style the Amparo Blue.

Oh, this bag! My friends at Teddy Blake know how to design a handbag with the finest Italian leathers! This Sophia Duo Leather 9" in Pink is a gem!

My entire goal here with these two beautiful pieces was to get pictures with my bubblegum pink petunias, you know I love to match my outfits with my house and gardens, lol!

Simple kick crop white denim jeans looked really good with this top and then I started thinking about Fall, who am, it’s July, but you know I’m a Fall girl but AnyWho I threw booties with it and then I’m like no let me put my new white leather sandals from Marmi Shoes, such soft leather! Super cute! I’ll throw back on the booties closer to Fall and maybe add a sweet light washed denim jacket or cardigan!

You know my love of TEDDY BLAKEruns deep so it’s an honor to share a 30% off code with you for the beautiful bags.
