A lot of friends, bloggers and readers have asked about my #Maxxinista of the Month photo shoot for TJ Maxx, so I thought I’d share a few behind-the-scenes photos…

Here’s how it turned out…

While walking back to the RV in the morning, we stumbled upon a group of elderly women practicing tai-chi. Feeling adventurous, we jumped right in the group, trying our best to take it seriously and refrain from laughing as the teacher marched over in our direction. She grabbed Jen’s hand and corrected it saying, “like THIS” and continued on with her class. As soon as we realized she was cool, I ran out in front of the group for a couple shots.

On to the next shot – here I am prepping for the ‘Sunday Brunch’ look…

Loved these shots…

We switched gears and moved our last look to the hotel’s restaurant since it was raining outside. Exhausted, sweaty and wet from all the rain, we managed to get some pretty cool shots (some of my favorite, actually). Here’s how it went down:

 Trying our best to capture the hustle and bustle of the City, here’s what went down in the Financial District for my ‘New York Minute’ post…

While in Little Italy…

Searching for the perfect location to shoot at in SoHo…

Feeling pretty in Battery Park…

Only to wrap it up at the TJ Maxx flagship store in Chelsea (aka one of the best TJ’s I’ve ever been to in my life!)

Keep searching for those TJ Maxx designer goodies, tagging them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using hashtag #Maxxinista for your chance to be the next Maxxinista of the Month!

Good luck and thanks again for your support and sweet comments!
