A 2 story TJ Maxx?!

So on my way back from lunch on Friday I stopped at TJ Maxx/Homegoods. My mom had (stupidly) told me this was one of the best stores she'd been to because it is 2 stories (clothing on one and then homegoods on the top)! So I had to stop and check it out.

Here's what I found:
Lilly tennis dress/nightgown (found in the PJ section)


I tried on this Lilly dress (labeled 2 sizes too big but I figured I could take it in) and it got stuck! I almost couldn't get it off! I am now assuming it must have been a child's size :/


Loved these Lilly shorts and mini skirt (not in my size though)



Such a cute Vineyard Vines dress:


This tank top was only $4 so I had to get it ;) (Despite my annoyance with people from there who call it "the 'Bu")


Cutest basket (bought it):


Loved this laundry basket (?)


Anchor/nautical placemats:








When I was leaving I saw the whale basket in pink and green (bought it too). Put my headbands in it :)


More Vera Bradley stationery:

    I just deleted a comment b/c I misspelled!

    Oh... I really like the idea of storing your headbands in a cute basket.

    You have the best luck when shopping! Thanks for telling us about the Vera B. note cards. After I read your post last week, I went to Marshalls and found VB stationery, a VB notebook, and little VB birthday cards. I had never known they sold it.

    I love the Lilly skirt and shorts! I'm also definitely a fan of the laundry basket and the sailing towel- sooo adorable.

    I need to find a good basket to put my headbands in. I have over 30 headbands, so I absolutely need to find a storage container.

    I've never been to TJ Maxx, but I totally want to go there.

    Love the Lilly shorts and skirt- oh, and the VV dress! I was at our local TJ Maxx and Marshalls yesterday, and they had NOTHING for women-just for little girls. I was able to get two Lilly skirts and a VV tee for my daughter.

    OMG two stories?! You lucky duck! Fabulous finds- those shorts are awesome!! And I totally had the same stuck-in-a-dress-and-start-to-panic moment a month or two ago. Glad you were able to escape the kiddie dress! :)

    I have the navy baskets with the red lobsters in my son's closet to store items in at the top of the closet where there are shelves. They are so cute! I love all of your finds.

    Love it all! I told a friend here today she needs to go to TJ's for Lilly. She didn't realize they sell it there. We have a huge Homegoods right beside TJ's, but no 2-story stores yet!

    I bought the same stationery! Actually there were about 3 other patterns, too! (Also bought those) I posted them on my blog, too.:-) Lori

    I also put Charlotte as who I would like to play on TV!

    OMG, please *immediately* tell me which TJ Maxx this was?? :) I live in LA, too, and I need to be there the second they open their doors tomorrow! Thank you for posting this! (I sound like a huge spaz, I'm sorry, but I get inexplicably excited about Lilly P. and anything with whales on it.)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I was so happy to find all the vera stuff but unfortunately I couldn't find any Lilly or VV. Usually I have better luck at Marshals. Love your blog and hope to keep in touch.

    p.s.- Do you mind me asking which college in DC you go to? I'm looking into George Washington and American U.

    Hope you have a stellar weekend,
