If I can avoid paying full price for something, I will. Who wouldn’t? Not to say I NEVER pay full-price for things (sometimes if you wait you might miss out), but it is a special moment when you buy something way below the original price.

During a visit to Macys last weekend (they were having a big sale), after really not finding anything, I decided to browse their accessories. I spotted a 65% off bin. Usually I do not find things in sale bins (stuff in sale bins are usually ugly or destroyed due to being tossed around), but I took a chance.

After going through two bins filled with purses, I came across this cute clutch by Rachel Rachel Roy. I really like the green color and the stitching.

The clutch was originally priced $60USD and I paid only $11USD! I had a coupon to use so it helped take off a bit extra. The sales woman told me the designer clutch is a piece of an older season’s collection (surprised no one snatched it up — maybe they did not find it in the bin piled with purses). Old or not, I am happy with it!

I hope everyone enjoys today’s Things I Love Thursday! This one has a bit of outdoorsy stuff. It will not fit everyone’s lifestyle, but these are the things “I” love.

Ride Linda Gloves: The snowboarding season is quickly approaching and I decided to take advantage of the deals going on now for winter gear. These gloves ended up costing me only $4.61! I actually had three REI gift cards that I received for free and the gloves were on sale with an additional 20% off the sale price. I love the heart shape they created on these gloves and I also love the awesome deal I got on them.

Title Nine Ruckus Tunic Sweater: I received a catalogue by mail recently from a store called Title Nine. I had never heard of them before and after looking through the catalogue, I really liked their clothes. They sell clothing that is best suited for outdoor activities such as sports. You could easily wear their clothing casually. I really liked this tunic! It looks like it would be perfect for the winter.

Po Campo Armitage Satchel: Last weekend, we stopped by REI and while I was browsing, I came across this purse by Po Campo. I loved the color and the size of it. I think it would be perfect as a weekend purse or on easy going days. Definitely on my wishlist!

Cheeky Organic Eye Primer: I have been looking for a natural eye primer. I do not wear eye shadow often, but when I do I typically do not use a primer mainly because I am afraid of putting them on my eye lids, concerned about all of the chemicals. I had discovered this organic eye primer by Cheeky Cosmetics and plan to order it soon to test out.
