Last week, the LO and I went to T.J.Maxx to see what's new for fall. My self-appointed mission was to scout out the latest trends, and there were many. Keep reading for my visual guide to the latest fall retail trends as seen at TJ's - which ones are you loving? Buying? Totally not into?

Shown above: MIXED MATERIAL jackets are all the rage for fall.

I was so excited to receive güd Vanilla Flame Shampoo and Conditioner ($7.00 gudhappens.com) for this review! As a Burt’s Bees fan, I was sure these products would live up to my expectations. According to the product description, this shampoo is natural, nourishing and smells amazing. I am a huge fan of anything vanilla, so this vanilla and rice milk scent was perfect for me.

Can you post some budget friendly and appropriate substitute teacher outfits? —@fitserbmama via Twitter

Dressing appropriately for any occasion can be overwhelming and we’ve all been there. Ideally as a substitute teacher, you should aim to dress a bit more conservatively. If you’re working with children you’ll definitely want to wear something comfortable to avoid a wardrobe malfunction. Here are my suggestions:

Back in February, I warned you T.J.Maxx was going to launch e-commerce and, well, that fateful day has finally arrived. Everyone's favorite off-price retailer has entered the online shopping marketplace at www.tjmaxx.com, so you can stalk your favorite brands at big discounts online from the comfort of your computer or smartphone.

The new e-store is broken down into "just in", "women", "shoes", "handbags" and "the runway." There's a modest selection of items in each category (right now, 353 dress, 88 boots and 126 crossbody bags). I'm seeing lots of the same designers that I see in stores, a mix of recognizable and not-so-recognizable brands. Cynthia Rowley, Jessica Simpson, Kenneth Cole. In the runway section, I'm seeing designers I don't typically get at my local TJ's, like DVF and Roberto Cavalli. One downside is that you can't search by designer (go ahead, try it).

Some highlights I'm noticing include these Dolce Vita "Jamala" leather booties ($79.99), an emerald green DVF blouse ($99.99), and cognac Nanette Lepore satchel ($199.99).

The prices are good but I'm not whipping out my credit card just yet. I still prefer shopping at T.J.Maxx in person at this point, but it's good to know the online option exists.

What are your initial impressions of tjmaxx.com?

Floppy hats remind me of white lace dresses and sitting in a poolside chair reading a book in the summer. Lately, I've been seeing this summertime accessory playing a star role in Fall looks instead - and I'm in love! I don't know about you but I can't wait to put on a cozy sweater, cool boots and floppy hat for the perfect summer-to-fall look. Here are three outfits I'm ready to wear - is this a trend you'd try, too?
