Happy Early Birthday to Me! My Target Haul and Minnetonka Flats

***My friends who are reading this are shaking their heads and thinking "goodness her birthday isn't until Weds and she is already shopped for herself!" ***

I will turn 29 years old on August 15th.  Normally my wonderful hubby takes me out for dinner and we do a bit of shopping.  We have a pact with each other never to buy each other anything super expensive until the birthday girl or boy picks it out.  I told him this year I would rather catch some great sales at Target during the back to school time. :)  Yeah for me! It worked!  :) :) I was able to pick out my birthday presents a week before my birthday!  :) 

I spent less than than $100!  Yeah for sales!! 

$8.98

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE!!!!  Paid full price $29.99.  Anyone who really knows me knows I NEVER pay full price for anything.  I have a hard time finding skinny jeans that fit me correctly.  I am a plus size girl with no hips or butt.  Yeah... try to fit that in a skinny jean.  I will probably go back and buy all the colors. Again. I. Love. These. 

LOVE THESE!! Cutest sandals ever!  Paid full price $19.99

$4.98

In June we were traveling back from Amarillo, TX and we stopped to Clines Corners, NM.  For those who have traveled along I40 through NM I am sure you have stopped one time or another.  Clines Corners is pretty much a tourist trap with quirky souvenirs.  LOVE places like this! 

Mr. Chic HATES road trips with me because I want to stop at every quirky road stand, take back roads and enjoy the open road.  He wants to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible.  We've had many discussions about this.... Normally I win :) 



When we were walking around inside I fell in LOVE with these Minnetonka flats.  I thought the design was really cute and they fit my wide Fred Flinstone feet. :)  Originally $37.99 but I found them on sale for 25% off.  I told Mr. Chic these were for my birthday :) 

Have you found any great deals lately???  Leave me a link and I would LOVE to check them out!

New Mexico Love

Am I the only one who never gets pictures printed??  Living in the digital age has really hurt my number of framed photos.  

Today I decided to go through my photos and pick 10 or so to have printed.  I have frames with strangers in them. I am serious!  All of my frames are hanging out on a bookshelf in my room full of junk staging room craft room with pictures of people I do not know in them.  Did anyone else just get a flashback from FRIENDS when Phoebe shows everyone the picture of her Dad and he is the guy in all the store picture frames?  

I decided to do a post of some of my favorite pictures of New Mexico. Enjoy :)
