Time to Shop!

Anyone who is jealous of us having to go to LA on a hot, muggy, summer day to shop for the store, needs to rethink that!  Nevertheless, it was time...and we HAD to  go!  So on a blazing hot Thursday morning, Sarah (our little fashionista) and I, set out on our treasure hunt...

First stop...liquid-gold-in-a-cup...go-juice...the-only-reason-to-wake-up-today-and-leave-air-conditioning...come to mama...

And we're off...
Planned departure time - 8:30am.
Actual departure time - 10:00 am.  Hmmm....

Oooh...LA Fashion District...

akaTijuana...bleh (I'm just NOT a city girl).  

But, I was getting excited at the prospects, anyway.

OK, now to find a parking place...shoot!...I forgot change for the meters...wait a second...I forgot ALL the cash!  OK, find an ATM... (apparently two sleepy girls should NOT be trying to shop today...)  ATM, ATM...where are you ATM?  

and a bathroom, a bathroom and an ATM...dang go-juice!  OK, bathroom first, then an ATM, then a parking place...what time is it?  11:15?!!  ugh... 

Alrighty...accomplished.  Ready to shop.  We have a budget Sarah, ok?...ok!

Let's start in one corner and work our way across...oooh...cute!  Grab a cart!

I think we're doing good on our budget, don't you?  Yeah, this is going to be good.

Let's have him ring up the smaller items first and see where we're at and then we can weed out some of the big ones if we went over budget.  Alrighty, good idea.

0-0   Huh?!  How much?!  Well, THAT budget just went out the window.  (see previous comment where "two sleepy girls should not be...")

OK, so we went a little over budget...alright, A LOT over budget, but we found some great scarves...

...and even greater jewelry

 

...and some beautiful bags!

Best of all, we've honed our shopping skills...and found an ATM...and most importantly...a usable bathroom!  Now, just to work on that budget thing...

Hope to see you soon!
