Treasure Hunting

If you are following me on Twitter or stalk me on Instagram you know that I have been "treasure hunting" a lot lately. Now, I will start this by telling you that all T.J. Maxx and Home Goods stores are not created equal. The T.J. Maxx in Greenville (my hometown) is horrid in my opinion, however, the Home Goods in Durham near where I went to school was awesome. Well, I know that I give my current city of dwelling (Lubbock) a pretty hard time, however, the T. J. Maxx is on point. There is always great stuff in there that I like to frantically text my L.B.F.F. Allison and ask her if I should buy. She always says "She isn't one to talk me out of buying a great piece," and the rest is history.

To really treasure hunt, you have to go in regularly. Sometimes you will go in and almost be sick because it is so gross and cluttered and the stuff is terrible. Other days, your cart is full of fun stuff. Luckily, T.J. Maxx is almost right next to my gym, so I reward myself with a quick walk around after a good workout.

First here are a couple of things that I scored on Friday:

I was cruising the Nordstrom website last week and saw this dress by Maggy London that was $125.


I will not lie and say that I was contemplating buying the dress but I didn't dislike it. Well wouldn't you know, I saw that exact dress at T. J. Maxx this week for 39 dollars. WOW! Nordstrom, I caught your bluff suckers!

I also have been dying for these amazing Morrocan temple jars that have been in all of the home magazines lately. I was in love with these jars that I saw on a lifestyle blog I follow that were $110. Yes, for one jar. Ugh!

So I dug and I dug around that home section at T.J. Maxx and found two of these jars for 14 bucks a piece. Whoop! Whoop! Do not judge this picture. There isn't a great place for these little jars to go at this current moment in time, but they will make a wonderful addition to my new "look" in the new Dallas casa.

We had guests over recently and I wanted to get some new towels for the guest room. These towels were Tahari and were originally 40 bucks a towel. Got them for 7. Boom!

I have also been getting some amazing luxury candles there for dirt cheap. I am obsessed with candles so this is a huge money saver because they are about 75% off.

Here are some other amazing pieces that I found:

 Have you found a diamond in the rough lately? Let me know! I love a good treasure hunt.

XOXO,
