My day @ the Desert Hills Premium Outlets!!

Today Mom & I went to the outlets to take advantage of our Kate Spade F&F coupon as well as see the new Tory Burch Shop. We left with some pretty good deals!

First off, we got there at 10 o'clock thinking that was when it opened today but i guess it was 9! We had a good laugh about that because we even waited in our car for about 10 minutes so we wouldn't have to wait out in the cold. But anyway, here is what I ended up getting:

A super cute Kate Spade Cross body & iPhone case and some Tory Burch Isabel sandals. Lol, I've got a little orange and pink trend going on!

Kate Spade had tons of promotions on the handbags (50% off, 40% off, 30% off, and 25% off) PLUS you got to use your F&F coupon for even more savings! I got the crossbody for a little over $50 (Originally $135) and the iPhone case for about $18. My mom got a lovely Kate Spade Melinda "Head in the Sand Satchel (like this)

 

but in pink for only $120! She even got a matching wallet for only $25! Such a steal! :)

Then we headed into the BRAND NEW TORY BURCH OUTLET BOUTIQUE! Lol, yes I'm a dork and took a picture.

 

But anyway, it was pretty crowded! They had a security guy holding people in a line to get in. There were lots of people checking out the Revas. They had a good number of clothes at this store.. more so than the Tory Burch Outlet in Camarillo. Revas go for about $165 tons of colors and styles! I'm not really in need of any flats at the moments so I ended up getting these cute sandals!

They were marked down to $79 from $115. Not too bad. (Lol, don't mind the white paper... I'm going to clip it to polyvore hehe.)

They also have tons of wristlets, card wallets, regular wallets, and totes. Not many niiiice handbags. The card cases are $79, wristlets are $134, and the totes are $180. There wasn't any super promotion going on but all of the items are marked down around 30%. If you decide to go to this shop, get there early! The SA told me that they sell out of sizes fast! Plus, if you go early you can avoid being in a line.

I also stopped into JCrew and it was pretty wah wah. So I left empty handed. All knits were 40% off, scarves were 40% off, Jewelry 50% off, Perfect shirts 40% off, and Clearance was 20% off. I think the online promotion is better because the crewlet price tags are like $$$ so even with those promos the price isn't all that great.

All in all, it was a fun day of shopping! Happy weekend all! :)

Hello WORLD!

I've been so busy with life that my poor little blog got neglected :(

But anyway, I've got good news!!! I just found today that I got into the Masters in Science program that I applied to! I totally started to lose hope! But woot! 1 acceptance is good which means I'll finally be a grad student yay! :)

I also had a phone interview for a different program today. My mom told me to dress up so that I would feel confident. Here is what I wore:


Cute huh?! My sweater is from NY&Co. Its funny how this sweater holds up better than some of my JCrew ones that have developed holes! I'm wearing a yellow perfect-fit tee shirt from the outlet and a skinny metallic gold belt. My skirt is the Abstract Lattice Skirt and my bracelet is a JCrew bauble one.

LOVE!!!

But anyway.. no matter how today's interview turns out. I'm happy to be going to school next year! WOOT!

Oh and I went to the outlet this weekend and tried on the Olivia dress. (item 37407)

This is an XS. Runs kinda big...paperbag like huh? I didn't buy it. Even with the 20% off it was still like $28... Meh. The concept was cute.

Miss ya blog world! :)
Ashley is back!
