Only a handful of T-shirts, $99.99.

I am fortunate to live near a large combo TJ/Homegoods combo runway store. At work, I have another shopping center with a large TJ/Home goods combo runway store and a Marshall’s right next door. I find quite a few amazing items, clothes, fragrances, whatever. I saw a few coats today however that were quite nice, and quite normal for these stores. The Loewe coat was quite stunning, and I just thought I’d share. The Burberry Coates were quite nice as well.

Getting into fragrance pickups, everyone gets into different spots. I know some love and some hate pieces by Bisch, but I am a huge fan. I tried to ignore this one but was unable as I am a huge fan. Fresh delivery, and absolutely incredible. I should regret such an expensive purchase but I can’t, it’s that good. Damn, And can’t wait for the weather to cool and go for the first wear.

Picked up the 121 about 6 months ago with a nice online sale plus military discount. I did what most seem to do and started immediately looking for replacement bands and/or straps. I decided against it and left it as is because of the color of the OEM strap. I must say after 6 months of wear (not everyday) the strap broke in so well. I am so glad I stuck with it and didn’t replace it. At this point, it’s my preferred daily wear because of how comfortable it is. Love this watch.

Definitely don’t see this everyday. Red tagged at $199 LOL. Couldn’t see the size but it was tiny tiny. Not my cup of tea, but still wild to find.

Saw a BVLGARI today in Marshall’s, I don’t normally pay much attention to them as it’s not a house we are interested in. Chill and Sole for $219.99. For anyone who may enjoy this house, this was done by Jacques Belletrud, the same master perfumer behind the entire Louis Vuitton line. Cool to see. Also a men’s Valentino I haven’t seen previously either.

Recently started seeing Ellis Brooklyn show up. Pack of rollers, body mists, and today for the first time fragrance bottles. 2 bottles of sun fruit at Marshall’s, $39.99.

Saw a bottle of South Slope by Michael Malul in Marshall’s today, didn’t pay much attention to it at first because I picked up a bottle when they first hit the stores months and months ago. However when I really looked at it closer today, it’s now priced at $39.99, many of us who picked it up when it first came out in the discount stores got it for $29.99. I hate when they do that. Will be curious if they start raising prices of others when they stock up for the holidays.

Went with my wife yesterday to bath and body works and found a few newly released items. A lot of scent heads might like these and in looking them up, they were actually done in partnership with IMH. I have a lot of fragrances with either Vetiver or sandalwood and these work great as stand alone products, but the lotions work especially well as base layers before applying fragrances. Very pleased with these so far, I think they were just released yesterday.

Recently purchased a glass cabinet from IKEA to house some fragrances as they have been filling up my closet. Ended up finding some travertine trays from Homegoods that fit the shelves perfectly, as if they were made for it. Had to search several homegoods but finally found enough. This cabinet houses quite a few, about 20 per shelf and I’m pleased.

I’ve noticed the past week several fragrances showing up in the case with red tags immediately. I am fortunate to live and work near several runway stores so I get to check the stores more than I care to admit. This last week a Thomas Kosmala and a Commodity paper + both showed up with red tags already applied. $108 and $56 respectively for 3.4 oz bottles. I have been able to check consistently many days in a row and they just showed up with the red tags already on them. Hope this means they’re getting ready for the holiday stocking up which normally starts in September.

First time seeing the large nest 21 oz candles. $39.99. The runway stores are the best.

Fragrance luck strikes again. Byredo Blanche 100 ml red tagged down to $166 from $229, still sealed in the plastic.

I’ve seen plenty of candles come through by Nest, Diltyque and a few other brands. This is my first time seeing Essential candles. Only two scents, both priced at $19.99. Lorsan is an amazing perfumer and I have a bottle of fig infusion, the candle definitely did the perfume justice so I grabbed two of the candles.

I recently had to purchase a fragrance cabinet which I ended up picking up at IKEA. I ended up finding some travertine trays at Home sense and Home goods that fit the shelves of the cabinet perfectly, almost as if they were cut specifically for them. The trays are travertine, sized 14x10 and will hold about 20 bottles or so per shelf. I found 3 trays and am on the hunt for more.

I’ve seen travel sizes, but this is the first time seeing the rollerballs in the store. My store had 3 of the 3 packs, $29.99 each.

Not for me, but still surprised at the finds sometimes. YSL gift set, 2.0 oz and a travel size for $119.99. Joma currently has a better deal for a set with the 3.3, but still surprised to see this at TJ today.

Recent arrival of several items from IM:Sole. Haven’t seen a lot about them, but blind bought an order. So far, very impressed by the quality and the scents. They included body washes and samples for free with wonderful packaging. The mermaid and soft hedgehog were the favorites of the group so far, can’t wait to wear the rest.

I recognize that TJ and Marshall’s both sell Vilhelm on their websites, but this is the first time I’ve found one in the wild. $240 for a 3.4. Love this brand, we have several others. I’m going to watch this one, if it gets marked down, I will pick it up.

Towards the end of last year, Henry Rose showed up in several Marshall’s and picked them up. Saw Henry Rose, both large and small sizes, start to show up again. I found the small sizes outside of the cases. I saw queens and monsters at multiple stores. We enjoy this house at home so I will blind buy this house all day from TJ at $29.99 or less.
