For the second day of my trip in Boston, I along with the other bloggers went to the TJX headquarters to learn more about the company. When I was first invited to this trip I was kinda skeptical since I’ve never shopped at TJ Maxx or Marshalls before. But at the end of the day I decided to just go and see what they had up their sleeves, I had nothing to lose. In my mind I always thought that TJ Maxx/Marshalls was discounted stuff from past seasons, irregular stuff and leftovers from other stores, kinda like an outlet type of store. I never like to dig for clothes, I have no patience for that- those were the main reasons why I never shopped at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. You can say I never gave the retailer a chance b/c I refuse to step foot into the stores, but this past two days made me change my mind…Why? Read on (slides after the jump) and you’ll be just as surprised as me!

After the interactive session, we went on to the Splurge vs. Steal Fashion Show. That was pretty interesting and the clothes looked pretty damn similar but the prices were at least 1/2 off! Afterward, we went to check out their Holiday preview, which will be in stores soon- can’t believe its going to be Christmas soon. Then the best part came, they took us to TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores for a shopping spree! I thought I’d never find anything b/c I hate digging but to my surprise I bought a few good things, it was definitely a treasure hunt and I felt super satisfied after I left the store! I bought Moschino, Catherine Malandrino and WALTER jackets in exceptional prices! Crazy!! Thank you TJX for everything! That concluded my trip at Boston, I was dead beat at the end of the day but it was totally worth it! How do you feel about TJ Maxx/Marshalls? Tell us your story!

After resting up and blogging a lil it was time for dinner at Skipjack’s, met up at the hotel lobby with the other bloggers and TJ Maxx/Marshalls PRs. It was so cold out tonight, so glad I came prepared- luckily it was only a 5 min walk to the restaurant! Dinner was pretty good at Skipjack’s, I would go back if I’m in Boston again. I’m beat!

LGA to Boston

I arrived at Boston earlier this afternoon and will be here for two days for a TJ Maxx/Marshalls Event! Settled in at The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, the hotel is nice- very antique and the rooms are roomy! It’s so cold in Boston, a lot colder than New York so I came prepared. Thanks to TJ Maxx/Marshalls for the accommodations! Here’s a quick post, more to come…

Me, Lyn and Kristen at Haru

Met up with my favorite ladies from adidas, Kristen and Lyn for yoga, dinner and desserts last Tuesday. It’s what…my 3rd time doing yoga, they took me to Jivamukti Yoga School. The class was very different from the others I’ve tried, not exactly sure I’m loving it but it was a great experience. I got to rock some dope gear while doing yoga, of course my favorite adidas by Stella McCartney stuff! I wore the Yoga Embellished Tee, Studio Three-Quarter Tights and used the Yoga Mat while doing yoga. After yoga, I put on my Cover Up Studio Polar Fleece (pictured) it got pretty chilly at night. Thanks guys!
