As you may know I went to the mountains for spring break last week! I was so glad to have a break from school (but it was not long enough!) I had a really good time while I was there and even took a long day trip to Georgia (the state not the country) just so I could enjoy that amazing Georgian heat! And while hiking to the top of a mountain to see that amazing view in the picture above
was fun I couldn't help but take a day to go into the small downtown area
of Franklin, NC to do some shopping!
you can find and buy most of the things I talk about in this post and on my blog here > SarahAshton_PBG on Luvocracy!!!
reg. $25.00 found on clearance/sale for $17.00
My first 'mission' was to go to any near-by vera bradley retailers to see what they had left in the pattern Marina Paisley. I fell in love with this pattern when it came out last summer, but now they are retiring it and I am trying to get everything that I have traveling related to match. Luckily the first place I went to had the heat resistant straightening/curling iron holder, which I had been wanting for ages! I would have also gotten a giant cosmetic bag, but did not find one in this pattern so I will just have to keep making all my things fit into the large one I have already.
$18.00
The next thing I got at the same shop is this planner. Even though we are in April I still had not gotten one for the 2014-2015 year! I have no clue how I have been even slightly organised the past three months … and with yet another quarter starting of school today
(7 April 2014) I was in need of a planner!
not sure of the price, my receipt wasn't in the bag and i don't remember what i did with it …
This next item I got at a small shop called Anna Bedelle's. Now you are probably thinking 'Why would she need a squirrel pillow?' well it wasn't a need but more of a personality type thing… When I was younger my nickname was squirrel because I was always super energetic and running around. I just use this as a little decoration in my room by setting it in my desk chair when I'm not using it.
$10.00
This next item I got in a little shop that sells antiques and homemade things like soaps and candles. I already have three candles that I have not used any of them enough to justify getting another candle, but when I smelled this I had to get it! It smells just like fresh baked blueberry muffins and will be perfect for early weekend mornings while I'm working on
editing photos or putting together some posts!
Then I went to a store called Peebles. They are a pretty common store but I don't have one where I live so I go in just to have a look around every time I'm in Franklin. I normally only find just a couple of things but its still worth while going in.
Wishful Park Chevron Button Tab Top in black and white
$17.98
This shirt was too cute to pass up, I got it (technically) two sizes bigger than what I wear normally a) because the difference in a medium and large was not that big and b) I thought it looked better more oversized be cause it it a sheer tunic like shirt that is really flow-y.
Then on my drive back home I couldn't resist stopping at a Target, mostly because I wanted Starbucks, but to look around as well to see what was different than my local Target.
And I am glad I did!
And I am glad I did!
reg. $6.99 sale $2.08
I have wanted to try these for a while, and couldn't decide on a color until I saw the clearance sticker … it is super moisturizing and looks like a gloss after you put it on! This shade on me doesn't add too much color because it is very similar to my natural lip color.
I like to look at the travel size section to see whats
there and if there are any products that I want to try.
Pond's - Crema S Face Moisturizing cream : Travel Size
$1.47
I haven't tried this yet, but partly because it has a heavy rose floral smell that I am not too sure about putting on my face… if anyone has used this let me know what you think about it in the comments!
Jergens : Natural Glow daily moisturiser for fair to medium skin tones - travel size
$1.99
This was more of a curious purchase. While my face does get tan, it also fades after about a day and according to this moisturizer it helps give a tan look without using fake tanner.
I have used it once and I cannot really tell a difference but then again
Im not expecting one until I've used it a few days in a row.
Covergirl : lash blast volume mascara in very black
reg. $6.99 with coupon $4.99
I bought this because I am still testing out mascaras that work for me, and I had a coupon. I would not consider myself to be a 'couponer' but I do go through the Sunday paper and look
for beauty product coupons, I am in college and on a budget lol.
I haven't used this yet so if you have let me know what you think about it in the comments!!!
