Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s Memorial Day weekend and for many people, that means it’s the time to sit by the pool, relax, and reflect on what Memorial Day actually means. For others, it is also a time to shop sales held during this holiday weekend.

This year, there are many, and I do mean many, stores that are having sales this Memorial Day weekend. If you want to shop this weekend, then this is the post for you! Since so many stores are having sales this weekend, I wanted to round up a mix of store sales in one post. I decided to mix my favorite stores that are having sales and ones people may not think about shopping at. I hope this gives many people looking for sales an idea of what is available this holiday weekend. Continue reading “Memorial Day 2023 Sale Roundup” →

Beauty Sales Roundup- Sephora’s Savings Event, Macy’s, & Nordstrom

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This year, I wanted to write more posts about the sales that are going on. Even though shopping is not a “hobby” everyone should partake in, especially when you’re saving for something important, I know it is a time when frugality is more important than normal. Because of this, I wanted to talk more about certain sales that are going on.

Right now, Sephora’s Savings Event is going on. Usually whenever a Sephora sale or Ulta Beauty sale happens, other stores will hold their own sales on beauty products. Some of the stores I know would hold a sale during this time are not, but some are. Also, some of the sales at other stores offer larger discounts! Since this is a time when stores are holding more sales on their beauty products, I wanted to highlight the Sephora sale as well as beauty sales happening at Macy’s and Nordstrom. The sales at Macy’s and Nordstrom are subject to change without my knowledge, so keep that in mind if you are looking at shopping them!

Favorite Black Friday Sales for 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s time for Black Friday shopping! I considered not writing a post about Black Friday shopping sales for 2022 due to the economy. After a great deal of thought, and browsing many of the sales, I changed my mind.

For this year’s post, I picked six of my favorite store sales for the year. I tried to pick a variety of stores that sell different products, but all of them have what I believe are good sales. Before purchasing items from the store, please look at the store return policy. Since the pandemic, many stores have changed their return policy. So, to avoid confusion and frustration, please review the store return policies before purchasing.

Macy’s Prom Dress In Store Photographs 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After browsing JcPenny’s prom dress section, I went to Macy’s. At the mall I went to (and was shopping at that day), Macy’s, JcPenny, and Dillard’s department stores are located in the same mall. It’s just a matter of walking around the mall to get from store to store. After I arrived at Macy’s, I had a little trouble trying to find the prom dresses. The Junior’s section is where they used to be located, but this year they were moved to the women’s section.

This year’s selection of dresses is far larger than in previous years. I was surprised by the amount of dresses available for sale this year. I think the store wanted to stock more dresses this year because of the fact that this year is the first year since the start of the pandemic when people are allowed to be in close proximity with each other. Also, many schools are allowing prom to take place in the same way it did prior to the pandemic.

I’m very happy to see the dresses available for sale and took many photographs of the dresses. I did this for my friends and their children, but I wanted to share some of the photographs I took of the dresses available for sale. Continue reading “Macy’s Prom Dress In Store Photographs 2022” →

Macy’s Prom Dresses In Store Photographs 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I went to the mall for fun, return some items, and to window shop. While at Macy’s, I discovered the prom section is open in the Junior’s department. I didn’t look at prom dresses last year because of the pandemic. Not looking at the prom dresses made me sad. Even though I’m way beyond high school age, seeing the new dresses and what is now trendy for teenagers is always a highlight for me every spring.

At the Macy’s I went to, there were two mannequins at the front of the prom section. Beside the mannequins was a shelf full of formal handbags and shoes that would be appropriate for prom…

Thoughts on the 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Local Parades Changes

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A while ago, Macy’s announced that they will hold the 94th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 26, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the parade will be different. It will be televised only and there will be additional changes to avoid person to person contact, including using vehicles to tether the huge balloons instead of using people as balloon handlers. Although I’m super happy to see the parade, and understand why there are changes to the parade in order to stay safe, I also discovered that a local Christmas light parade will be implementing changes in order to help avoid person to person contact.

After discovering the changes for the local Christmas light parade, I felt surprised that they would still hold some sort of event. I believed the organizers of the Christmas light parade would be ready to cancel the event, but I’m glad they’re not. According to the website, they will not hold a parade to prevent crowds from gathering on the side of the road to watch the parade. Instead, they will have the entrants for the parade parked in a line and attendees of the event will walk by each float.

I must admit, seeing the Thanksgiving Day Parade pre-recorded makes me sad as does not being able to see the local light parade take place, but I’m at the point emotionally when I need anything to enjoy the holiday season. Even though the parades will not be the same as previous years and will be socially distance focused, I’m happy to know the event planners for both the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the local light parade are trying to make it fun and exciting anyway.

Even though this holiday season will be different than other year’s, I’m still excited for it and can’t wait to celebrate!

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Macy’s Spring 2020 VIP Beauty Sale Favorites

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Around this time of the year, Ulta and Sephora have their semi annual sales. Although I enjoy shopping them, there is another beauty product sale I enjoy shopping: Macy’s VIP sale.

Macy’s held their VIP sale for many years, but I didn’t start shopping the beauty portion of the VIP sale until a few years ago. After seeing the amount of beauty products available for sale as well as discounts Sephora and Ulta do not offer on certain brands and products, I always make sure to shop the Macy’s sale as well as the Sephora and Ulta sales. I received an email today from Macy’s saying the sale is on, so I wanted to share my favorite beauty products that are part of the sale. All the products in this post, as well as all beauty products in the sale, are 15% off regular price and do not require a membership or qualifying order to get a discount.

Favorite Coats from Macy’s- 2019

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After shopping at Dillard’s for coats, I decided to see what Macy’s has. Macy’s sometimes has coats that are in different colors and sizes than Dillard’s, so I find it’s always worth a look to see what Macy’s has as well. While browsing in store and online, I found many coats I liked. Since it’s fall, I decided to share my favorite coats from Macy’s along with prices.

Both are FlowerBomb themed, so I wanted to share them and talk about them. Continue reading “Viktor&Rolf FlowerBomb Macy’s Gift With Purchase Set” →

Favorite Prom Dresses for 2019- Macy’s

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This is week two of my favorite prom dress posts and so far I’m very impressed with the dresses that are out this year. Last year, I felt very uninspired by the prom dress. They looked like the ones from the previous year and didn’t vary in bright, spring colors. This year, there was a balance between spring colors as well as dark colors and the designs are similar but different from last year’s. One of the stores I was most impress with prom dress wise is Macy’s.

Since I’m devoting a favorite prom dress post to one store each post, I wanted to share some of my favorite prom dresses that I saw in person and loved at Macy’s. Continue reading “Favorite Prom Dresses for 2019- Macy’s” →
