Favorite Places To Shop

Today I decided to join in the fun at Kelly's Korner and participate in this weeks "Show Us Your Life". Today the topic is "favorite places to shop". If there is one thing I like to do, it is shop, so I thought I would share some of my favorite places to shop. First off, I live in West Virginia and believe me when I tell you that we DO NOT have a alot of GOOD shopping here. I mean we have a Macey's and a Gap and a Gymboree for the kids and thats about it! Pretty sad,hu? I do at least 90% of my shopping on line and of course when we go out of town, I usually try to do some shopping then. Trust me, I am ALWAYS looking for a bargain and I hardly EVER buy anything if it is not on sale!




I mostly shop for my kids, I rarely ever buy anything for myself and buying for my kids is what makes me happy anyway! I do not like buying myself clothes right now because I am still not at the weight I want to be at so I refuse to buy myself anything until I lose weight. I am a beauty product junkie, so occasionally I will buy something from Sephora. Love this store! I also love Target for everyday items and go there at least once a week if not more. If I am buying for the house, I like to shop at Homegoods,T.J Maxx, Marshall's, and Pier One.

Okay on to the fun part. I am addicted to Ebay and Etsy. If you do your research and spend the time, you can get some great deals on ebay. If I find a boutique item that I really want, I will find it on ebay and most likely always get it for a lot less. I also like to buy custom clothing on ebay. If you click on clothing, shoes and accessories, under infants and toddlers there is a link that says "custom clothing" click on that and have fun!! I promise you, if you do this, you will be addicted like me!!! Here are a couple of sets that we have got from ebay..













If you have not shopped on Etsy, you must go there NOW..lol. Everything is hand made and I love to buy Ayla cute custom made outfits from there. One of my favorite stores on Etsy is Icandie, Laura is the owner, she is sooo nice and the quality of her work is amazing! Here is Ayla in some of her Icandie dresses











Another Etsy store is Kissing Kumquats, Kerri makes the cutest knot dresses and if you ask her, she will make a matching pair of ruffle pants for just about anything. She has made us several pair of ruffle pants and we love them.






Here are a few more links to other Etsy stores that I like

Okay my new found love is Matilda Jane Clothing. I honestly had not ever heard of MJ until I started seeing it on different blogs. I started doing research and found the MJ blog and website and I have been hooked ever since. Here is Ayla in some of my favortie MJ sets. If you are a fan of MJ, they are going to be having a sale soon, I have heard maybe 60% off so keep checking the MJ blog and they will let you know when it will start. I will also post the sale on my blog!

















Okay, can you see why I LOVE Matilda Jane???

Okay you didn't think I could leave Brennan out did you? I buy most of his clothes from Gymboree, Gap and Old Navy. But my MOST FAVORITE store to buy for him is MINI BODEN. I love, love Mini Boden, they have the cutest appliqued shirts for boys and girls. If you get on their website and request a cataolg, they will send you free shipping codes and discounts all the time. I have never had to pay shipping from Mini Boden which helps, because they are in the UK. Here is Brennan in his Mini Boden....the shorts are so cute and soft. I especially love buying for him in the summer!















Okay, I hope you have enjoyed some of my favorite places to shop! I can't wait to go and see where everyone else likes to shop. I am sure I will be able to add a few more places on to my list...lol. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!






Until the next time!!!!
