Tuesday Sales

Restaurant.com - Use the coupon code HUNGRY to get 70% off. This is good through tomorrow.
Pier 1 - Is having a creature's comfort sale. Up to 25% off selected items that I'm guessing are comfortable in someway?
Bath and Body Works - Free tote with any $25 purchase, use the code: LOVETOTE, while supplies last (online only). There's also free shipping on orders of $50 or more and 3 wick candles are 2 for $20. Pocket hand sanitizers are 5 for $5.
Banana Republic - Today is the last day to save 30% with the code SAVEBIG at Banana Republic, Gap, or Old Navy. And you get free shipping with $100 or more. The cool thing about their site is that you can shop at all three at once, and pay one shipping price. So I'm guessing you can shop at all three stores to get to $100 and get free shipping faster that way. You also get 10% off every Tuesday if you have one of their store cards with the code TUESDAYS.

Holy Headgear Batman!

Hello blogosphere!

I'm sorry for my lack of posts for the last 2 1/2 months. In all honesty, I have just finished working full-time, planned a cross country move (and then did it), unpacking my new home, and have had to worry about all of the fun lovely things that are involved with going back to graduate school full time (think loans, transferring classes, etc.). I have just not had time to post, or even think about an entry.

However! I did find some pictures on my Photobucket account of an entry that was in progress at the time and so I will post up those here. I must apologize, though, because I can't remember exactly where I got all of them from, so you'll just have to guess based on the tags I put at the bottom. I know it's from one of those and if you can't find the headband, then those sites will have many other cute ones to choose from.

--*-*--

Something about the Summer makes me want to cut all of my hair off in a pixie cut style fashion ala:

or

But my hair is far too curly, and I'm not sure my face shape can pull it off. So since I have long thick curly hair my other hair desire always follows suit after those girls with the long California beach hair. Think the girls from the Hills (I am seriously jealous of Lauren Conrad and her gorgeous hair .

With that as my more realistic goal, I can spice up my locks a bit with my favorite hair accessory since childhood...a headband! Thankfully they are back in style again and you can get looks that range from the very plain to the very fancy. From the 50s to the 80s, there are styles that match any kind of outfit and style. Personally, I think spending more than $10 on a headband is highway robbery, but I have been known to do it when I absolutely fell in love and couldn't say no. That being said, a lot of times you can find what you're looking for somewhere else for cheaper. Forever 21 has a great selection (although I wouldn't go to the store. Online always much much more) as does H&M and most if not all of theirs are in the $3-8 range.

Here's a few options I found that can bring out your inner hippie, beach bum, wild child, or debutante.





























Also big right now for both men and women are straw hats.

These two are from H&M:




(I personally own that one, had to get it from the men's section. What can I say, must be all those brains in there or something.)

Here are a few more from Forever 21 and Modcloth.com:







Whatever your preference, there's definitely a lot out there to make your hair feel special and new, even if you haven't had a cut since the last time stuff like this was popular.

Really good sale going on at Express right now

Express is having their clearance sale right now (you know, the one where they put all their things into boxes and they're ridiculously reduced). In addition to that, I just got an email saying until Sunday you can take an additional 30% off all clearance items, and they're also doing Express cash. Through the 18th if you spend $50, you get $25 Express cash that you can spend starting the 19th. That particular deal is in-store only.

Plus if you are a card holder you get 50 bonus points when you buy skirts. Cardigans are 40% off. And jewelry, women's blouses, jeans, men's polos, graphic tees, and 1MX button downs, and boxers are BOGO 50% off. So many sales it makes my head spin!

Here's a few choice items I thought were particularly stylish...

For Her:


For Him:


By the way, if you sign up for their mailing list you get a 15% off coupon for your next purchase. This is the thing they always ask you for you email address for in the store and when they say, "well, if you sign up more than once, you just get more coupons." Not true, you get the same email 5 times. And you can print that coupon 5 times yourself without the added headache, you don't need the extra spam to do that.

Edited to Add:

Two other really good sales you should be aware of.

-Bath and Body Works is currently having a sale through tomorrow, buy 3 things from their Signature Collection, get 3 free. Their 14.5 oz candles are also BOGO 50% off. Their shipping is free if you spend $60.
-Laila Rowe is BOGO 50% off new spring arrivals. Their shipping is free is you spend $50.
