another fun shopping venture...

sorry, it's been over a week since my last post!

anyway, i am in grosse pointe for the weekend. it's so great to be back in michigan, even if only for the weekend!

today my mom and i went shopping at Somerset and had lunch over at Brio...yummy!! it's so much fun shopping with my mom! too bad i don't have a chance to do it often! we stopped at louis vuitton, i was so set on purchasing the neverfull gm but of course -- my luck it was SOLD OUT! bummer!! either i pick it up when i am back in chicago or wait until i am in michigan next. oh well....

so sur la table "finally" opened at somerset last week! it's about time!! they had a pretty exciting promo going on....spend $50, get a cookbook for FREE -- it's a $35.00 value alone! so of course each of us ended up with a cookbook! hee! hee!

i ended up picking up a couple of things. like i really need ANYTHING else!! ha! ha!

let's see... i got 2 white serving pieces and a cookbook from sur la table, plus a can opener...but who needs to see photos of my can opener right...LOL! plus, a lilly pulitzer umbrella and set of shift magnets. i really wanted a burberry umbrella to replace my current burberry umbrella, but they didn't have what i wanted...so i settled for a little pulitzer umbrella instead and saved about $125 in the process...LOL!!we even had enough time to stop over in birmingham. seeing that ribbons is gone, i had to visit my other favorite store in brimingham called stacey leuilette. i could do some serious damage at that place!! HA! HA!

i couldn't help but purchase this adorable key fob. don't you love it!! it was a steal at $25!! guess we all know where i stand politically! LOL! i also picked up a mariposa sticky note set too. it will be perfect for my desk!

oh yeah, in case you were still looking for your next lilly pulizter bicycle...it's STILL for sale!

oh well, it was a beautiful day and below are couple of other photos from my quick visit to birmingham...

below are photos of two buildings, of which one of them was the location of my grandparents art gallery. i always thought my grandparents had their art gallery at the one that the one below, but my mom was thinking it was where TOAST is today? who knows...my mom was a teenager when they had the art gallery.

oh well, then tonight i went out for sushi with a good friend!

tomorrow is going to be another fun filled weekend! hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

take care,
