DC City Center, Lunch & Walmart Bargains

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.
