HELLO ALL – CAN YOU SAY #HAPPYGIRL….
I hope you are having a a good week! (eyebrow YouTube video at bottom of post – just saying…).
So, it’s been raining tons here in the Washington, DC area but this past Sunday was just lovely. High of 79 – nice breeze etc. Mike and I had a date to the new @CityCenterDC – and boy was I in for a surprise. They are calling this the “Rodeo Drive” of DC – a stretch I know but fun just the same. Most of you have gathered that I love shopping – high end and budget friendly. I just love fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, decor all of it. It’s like art to me. Any who….. we went there looking to eat at +Fig & Olive Restaurant but it was not open – despite the sign on the door. So we began what I thought may be some FINE window shopping. Well first we went into +Carolina Herrera
and I loved some shoes and a bag – BAM – out came his credit card! I was like “yeah – thanks baby!” Then onto +HUGO BOSS loved shoes, bag and perfect white stretch sheath dress – Mike – “you like it babe?” Me – “Um..Yes of course!”
BAM – out came the card! I was so happy and grateful – was not expected at all. Then onto the +Tumi shop – new 3 piece luggage set! We are gearing up for trip to Italy in the early Fall. (See link at the bottom with a printable packing list.) I was like…… Ummmmm – “Yeah baby”this is my day!
It was a great day. Lunch at +DCB Group DCBG +Daniel Boulud‘s new place and it was lovely. We had steak tar are, tuna tartare the “frenchie” burger.
Mike had a great ale (or two) and I had a wonderful – refreshing “Mocktail” with ginger beer, lemon, club soda & splash of grenadine! Yummy ( no alcohol for me – Sunday was day 4 complete of my #30dayworkoutchallenge ) – still going strong today is day 8!
** Now people while I love all my high fashion pieces let’s be real. I also love to do my bargain shopping. I like places such as; Target, Walmart & Forever 21. Example, last week I got
San Marzano Tomatoes at Walmart & they were 1/2 the price of Giant Food Store a savings of $3.50 & up per can! Yesterday I ran into Walmart and purchased my @MaybellineNewYork clean express make up remover cloths – $2.00 cheaper than Ulta and grabbed some ribbed tank tops $3.50 each and running shorts $3.50 & $5.50. YES!!! Score! Who doesn’t need tanks and shorts each summer and at these prices its a no brainer.
Let me know where you find your best bargains – BTW – I love @amazon as well for some fantastic deals. See the cute shorts / tanks below.
Oh yeah everyone Ck out my YouTube video Brow Series #1 to reshape & regrow my brows with +Maven Beauty Bar and the owner +Rebecca Carrera
