My Personal Shopper Scored Again!

Do you have a personal shopper? 

I do,

 it's my mom. 

She is the best deal finder and she scored big for me last week.

She found me these Kate Spade shoes at Marshall's. 

Here in San Diego some of our best warm weather is yet to come.  The weather is usually gorgeous through the beginning of October.  These will get some wear even in fall. 

San Diegans don't put away our summer wear, we can wear it all year long.

This is a great time of year to stock up on summer and spring items because retailers need to make room for Fall and Winter stuff. 

These Kate Spade shoes were originally $356. 

Marshall's price $100. 

Then they marked them down to $79, then $49, and then $29!

Here's a tip when you shop at places like Marshall's and TJ Max.  On the bottom of the item they write the original price they are selling it for.  Sometimes price tags come off of items, but you should be able to find the price penned on the bottom.  This is also good to know if the item is on sale and you can't peel the sale sticker off to see the original price.  (I always like to see the original price) 

$356 to $29. 

Good job Mom!!

Why would I every buy anything for full price when there are stores like Marshall's,

TJ Max, and Home Goods? 

 Do you have any great stories about incredible deals you've scored? 

I would love to hear them!

Thanks for checking it out.

My Favorite Flip Flops

Flip flops are part of the Southern California uniform.  We wear them year round here. 
I play volleyball at the beach in January and still wear my flip flops to and from the beach.   

OK, when it gets cold I do switch to my Uggs.

This is the court I play doubles at a 2-3 times a week.

My favorite flip flops are Havaianas. 

They are a little pricier than most flip flops, but worth it my opinion.  They originated in 1962 form Brazil using a secret rubber formula. I love them because they come in a SLIM sizes as well as regular widths.   I have a size 10 shoe, but my feet are narrow.

Most flip flops and strappy shoes are too wide for me. 
Costco carried Havaianas this year for $18.99 with a crystal on them, but I can't find them on their website?   I'm kicking myself that I only bought one pair. 

You can pick up flip flops for a couple bucks these days, but I LIVE in mine so I justify the higher price.  Havaianas' rubber is very soft and comfy. 
They last a long time and I never get blisters from them.

  This pair is $148 because it has Swarovski Crystals on them.   These are out of my budget and even if they were in my budget, not sure I would spend that much on flip flops especially because I'm going to get them sandy.  

You don't have to pay that much for them.
  
Nordstroms $38

Nordstroms $24

I found some last year at Loehmann's for $12 and I bought 3 pairs. 
The problem is my daughters keep stealing them. 
We all have the same size feet.

What's your favorite summer foot wear?
