Cravings Cured

So for my birthday each year my mother in law, sister in law and I head to the West Side to do some shopping.  This isn't a casual trip it is a hard core, all day, open and close all the shops kind of day.  So in the spirit of spring we jumped right in grabbing deals right and left.

As previously posted, there were several things I was looking for.  Some sunshiney colors, scarfs, great jeans, gladiator sandals...and I think I did pretty well fulfilling all of those needs and wants that I had. 

Nordstrom Rack seemed to get most of my time, energy and money at the end of the day but they also had the most to offer on this trip. I was out of jeans.  I mean OUT.  My jeans were torn, broken and looking like I was a bit well in need of a home.  Very sad shape my jeans were in.  So the rack provided me with 3 pair of sparkling new jeans with out a hole in them.  One down fall...I am short...and 2 out of the 3 have to be tailored to fit.  Someone who is 5'8...no problem but 5'3"?  There is some hemming to be done.  I really wanted a denim jacket as well...they delivered on that as well.  Cute t-shirts...yes;)  In all sorts of summery and spring colors. I even found something pink.  Scarf's for my hair were found as well...I guess they are called sashes and I loved how Kate Hudson wore them in Fools Gold.  I found the scarfs and mimicked the knot done in that movie, and fulfilled another craving.  My best friends topped off my weekend by gifting me a beautiful red purse, a pair of earrings, and a cake cook book which if you have read my blog before, I bake a lot;)  I got almost everything on my list....now to wait out those sales and see if we can't get some sandals;)  Anyone else done any shopping lately?  I can't tell you how much fun those big trips are:)  Had a great few days in Seattle.  Saw my family, friends, and shopped until I literally dropped;)  Great trip...can't wait to do it again;)
