This is the last part of my DC shopping! I fell in love with the Liberty of London collection at Target, but things are selling out fast! The selection was somewhat slim at the Target I went to, but I managed to pick up a few cute items. :)
An adorable clipboard. I hope I can talk myself into using the cute paper. ;)
A set of small notebooks. I always carry a notebook in my purse for random lists and notes!
A set of note cards.
A salad plate and tumbler. I've been using the glass constantly!
A flowered scarf. It can be seen here on the site. Such a great price!

DC Haul Pt. 3- Beauty, Skincare, Accessories
I meant to have this posted early yesterday, but time escaped me! Here's the next part of what I got in DC. :)
Flower sneakers from Payless. I thought these were so cute for spring! I always carry hand sanitizer in my purse, but I also give them as parts of gifts to friends. :)
Body Shop! I love that they brought back some of the original scents that I never got to try the first time around (banana, apple, peach, and a few others). Banana smells amazing! I also got some mango lip butter and Nettle Oil shampoo/conditioner.
Sephora and H&M. The two bags are from H&M. The one on the left is my new favorite and I'm using it to carry my daily makeup now. Have you guys smelled Philosophy's new scent, Apricots and Cream? Oh my goodness, it's heaven! I also picked up an argan oil stick to try. I'm a biter, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works on cuticles. The MUFE eyeshadow is just a basic matte brown.
MAC wipes, a 217 brush, and another eyeshadow palette. I only have the travel-sized Sigma SS217, but I do find it to be very similar to MAC's 217. Both have very soft bristles and are great at packing on color, especially pigments!
I was disappointed in the selections at both Torrid and the CCO. I only found a ring and eyeshadow that caught my eye. I'm in love with the ring!
The biggest purchase besides my camera was my new Coach purse. All of my Coach purses have the signature print, so I wanted something different. I love how simplistic it is and I only had one white purse in my collection (with no grays whatsoever). This was a perfect addition to my collection! The vibrant purple lining is just icing on the cake!

DC Haul Pt. 2 - Random Items
Here are random items that can't be categorized that I picked up while in Washington. I'll show my Liberty of London Target and beauty/skincare hauls next. After that, I'll have a special post involving a small giveaway! Stay tuned!
Magazines to read in the hotels!
Various postcards and magnets.
I saw these Glee stickers and keychain and didn't even think twice. I'm such a Gleek!
A snowglobe for my collection and an ornament for my Christmas tree. These are two things that I try to get whenever I travel somewhere new!
A whole bunch of DVDs. I love Target! :)
And the best thing I got on this trip over anything else? My new Nikon Coolpix L110! It was my anniversary present. I love it! My husband knows the way to my heart. Yep, he rocks. :D

DC Haul Pt. 1- Container Store
I love traveling to cities that have Container Stores, so luckily I was near one when I traveled to DC! :) This store has such amazing products for organization and storage among other great items they have available. I know some of you may not get as excited as I do about such a store, so you can just overlook this post if you'd like!
I (surprisingly!) hate shopping for shoes. I have no idea how I outgrew my older shoe holders (which were similar to this). They also were taking up a lot of shelf space in my hall closet! I put each pair of shoes on top of each other instead of side-by-side, which has doubled the space available on the rack.
With my old belt rack, all of the hangers were on the same side so my belt clasps would get tangled. I like that this one has them divided by two sides. The scarf hanger holds 30 scarves!
I got the container to hold my rice. Rice is one of the quickest foods to get little critters (weevil insects, to be exact). You really shouldn't keep your rice in the boxes or bags that you buy it in. Keep it in the freezer or put it in airtight canisters. I got the white damask patterned trash can for my bathroom. The letter holders are now holding my palettes in my bathroom. The other four things pictured are: document holders for typing, a small funnel, a powdered sugar holder, and a jar opener. I swear by those jar openers- best I've ever used! I used my first one so much over the past four years that the rubber is slipping off.
Big damask shopper.
A binder to finally hold all of my loose menus I have lying around. It's sectioned by types- Mexican, Italian, Fast Food, etc. The folders are for recipes which are organized by type of meal. I have a habit of ripping out recipes from magazines, so this is perfect for storing them. The "All Out Of" is pretty much a grocery list that you check things off when you're out of them, so you won't forget during your next trip to the store. A matching magazine holder for my waste basket and letter holders set. And then a glass butter dish!
I get on a vitamin kick about once or twice a year. I know that it should be an all-of-the-time habit, but it just escapes my mind and I find myself forgetting. I'm hoping to get back into taking them and this dispenser has six sections. Perfect for small spaces where you just don't have room for big vitamin bottles to be laying around. The Gal Pal is a hot/cold water pack. The Purseket is a sleeve of pockets that fits around your purse and keeps it organized. Travel toothbrush holder and pink soap holder. A pill capsule and travel bottles. And plastic containers that I use for makeup and samples. :)
And that's it for the Container Store. My DC hauls will either continue tomorrow or Monday. Since tomorrow is a holiday and I have plans, I might not have time to post. If that's the case, I hope you all have a fabulous Easter weekend with your loved ones!
