The Tilda Oxford Rhinestone Top is adorable in person. Sorry I didn't grab a better picture of the rhinestones on the collar, J Crew doesn't have a better close up either but it's so pretty. I love the detail. I wasn't so sure about how high it went up on my neck, I felt like it was choking me, so I didn't get it (but if it goes on sale, I might reconsider!). I'm loving the new Liberty print and immediately gravitated towards the toothpick jeans in the print. Super cute but a bit pricey. I have a few pairs of J Crew jeans and they've all stretched pretty badly on me (only after 1-2 wears) and I don't want to be spending $150 on a pair of jeans that stretch so much but if they go on sale, I'll definitely be picking them up as I adore the print! Oh, the sweater I'm wearing on the right is an old J Crew sweater I was already wearing that day, I just wanted to see how it looked like with a sweater over the rhinestone top which I would probably wear like this most of the time anyway.

I just blogged about this sweater and I really wanted to love it but I ended up not liking it. The collar is much too stiff and wouldn't sit nicely. You see how it kind of stands up at the back? I couldn't get it to lay flat on the around my neck. I also didn't love the wide stripes on me. So glad I tried it on before I ordered it online as I definitely didn't love it.

They had a small (very small) sale section that was an additional 50% off so I picked through it and found these cute color block chambray shirts. In store they were $20 each after discount but they're $29.99 online so I would check your stores first! I just thought they were cute basics and could wear them with a cardigan or blazer for an easy daytime casual look.

I stopped by Madewell afterwards (J Crew, Madewell and Nordstrom are always my main staples when I hit the mall!) and the sales associate told me they were having an additional 40% off sale so I headed straight back to see what I could find.
First the new arrivals. I'm a sucker for cutesy prints so had to try on the Starry Sweater and the cutest bow jeans! The Starry sweater was too similar to my bow sweater that I got at Madewell earlier in the fall so I passed but I'm totally regretting not buying the cute bow jeans. I love them, however I do have a problem with printed pants/colored jeans at the moment and vowed not to buy any more but we shall see, I may return for these. :)

Like I said, the sale was an addtional 40% off so lots of great deals to be had! The Spectrum sweater is not on sale online but was marked down to $69.99 (the prices I list are all before the extra discount). I liked the chunky knit but it made me look a bit boxy so passed. The Heartstripe sweater that I've been eyeing was on sale for $59.99. And I randomly picked up these striped dot pants that I didn't initially love but after trying them on, I knew I could pair them with lots of stuff I had at home. And the best part? They were $39.99! (and if you're wondering, I ended up getting these because they are pants - not jeans - so they can be dressed up a bit more and I don't have as many pants as I do jeans!)

- just a note, they were too big in the waist for me and I probably should've sized down but didn't see my size out there so just went with these as they fit fine through the leg. But if you are getting them I do suggest staying TTS.
I thought I would like the gray Heartstripe Sweater better but I ended up liking this tan with the red hearts. They didn't have an XS in this color but I like the look of a baggier sweater with leggings or skinny jeans so I don't mind sizing up in sweaters.

All in all, with a few giftcards in hand and the extra discounts, I ended spending under $100! I was a very pleased little shopper. :)
