Click image to enlarge for detail. First, have you added Cartwheel to your favourite iPhone apps? You MUST! It has a 15% savings for these HOT heels by Xhilaration. Crafted of beige techno-suede and embellished with silver studs and rhinestones, they have a 5" heel with a 2" platform. The amazing thing about these shoes, you achieve the height without the strain. Think about it - I'm only lifting my heel 3" off of the platform. Schmexy sells for $49.99 and I am saving them for the iFabbo event in October. No, they did not come with extra stones, note to Target.

It's been a while since I have made a Target haul and with one this good, it was worth the wait! I am in the market for a few new sweatshirts and hoodies plus I have a $25 gift card for Target burning a hole in my wallet so I decided to tke advantage of being an early bird and head ed over early this morning . As I approached the clothing section I was greeted with bright Spring colours in pretty printed shirts but it was the big red Clearance signs that caught my attention. With racks ranging 30%, 50% and 70% off, I couldn't resist a peek...

On November 26, 2012 Target announced an exclusive partnership with footwear brand Sam & Libby. First introduced in 1987, the new collection will be available at all Target stores beginning May 5, 2013 with an expanded assortment of colors on Target.com. This partnership will be ongoing and aims to offer Target’s guests a collection of designer shoe styles at affordable prices, starting at $24.99.

Do you follow any freebie trends? Last year was the first year that I took advantage of the deals and boy did I score. So this year on Earth Day, March 22, my goal was to exchange: • 5 plastic bags for 1 Disney reusable bag • 1 empty beauty vessel for 1 Origins Moisturizer at Origins • 1 empty beauty vessel for 1 Origins Moisturizer at Sephora • 1 empty beauty vessel for 1 Kiehl's LipBalm And score 1 Target reusable bag, no purchase/exchange necessary.

I spoke of this gorgeous Zac Posen red leather jacket on my blog about 5 months ago as part of my favourite Target Designer Finds. Seen here.

Honestly, I can't wait for Missoni to hit Target this September.  I made a note in iCal so I could hit my location immediately!  I wanted to share with you some of my favourite Target Designer pieces that I have picked up over the past 2 years. *Click on the picture to enlarge* Zak Posen - The infamous $200 red leather motorcycle jacket. it is a little darker than this picture portrays.  I scored mine on the 75% off rack.  That's right $49.99!  That's also right: the tag is still attached.  I just haven't had the right occasion to wear it.  For the past 16 months.  The denim is from Victoria's Secret London Collection, $19.99.

The key to savings is organization.  Well, lots of elbow grease and a solid understanding that you must be organized.  I have been following The Krazy Coupon Lady , learning her techniques and best practices and I have been doing fairly well for myself.   So let me share with you my binder.  I'm super proud of it.   I bought the binder at target, It is a 1.5",  soon I will need either another or a larger replacement.  It is stuffed with baseball Trading Card Pages that I purchased at Staples.  I bought 4 packages for $2.99 per package.

First off, I love the vessel.  Even though the .5oz siphon pump delivers too much product, you will be able to use every single drop of this cream. Provided that you control the pump, you will have zero wasted product = excellent return on investment.  The cap locks tight and you can easily toss it in an overnight bag for travel.  Plus the vessel is recyclable.  top: full amount distributed by the pump.  Below: the amount you actually use. Night time: I let my eye area get a little dry after I washed my face so I could get a true feel for this product.  The first thing that I noticed was how cooling it felt.  I usually use All About Eyes from Clinique and this was a different feel.  It's more like a lotion than the cream/gel formula I am used to using.  This product seemed a little more 'wet' to me but very comfortable.   Within 30 seconds I could feel the tightness around my eyes disappear and my skin feels very comfortable....

I do not understand why we spend so much money on bras to lift our boobs and creams that promise to lift our skin, yet fail to spend a penny on additional shapewear to lift our self confidence. These aren't your Granny's panties ladies!  Gone is the girdle!  Burned are the over-the-shoulder-bolder-holder!  Shapeware has gone hi-tech!  Solutions that include waist cinchers, tummy tamers, thigh shapers and booty boosters!
