The day of gift card shopping...

Yesterday was so much fun! While Hubby and I waited for the oil to be changed and the tires rotated on my car we had one super healthy breakfast at a nearby IHOP, then went to Pier 1 to spend a gift card. Here are some of the items we picked up...

There are a total of 10 of the snow men for our Christmas tree next year, and the rooster salt n' pepper shaker will go to my mom and step-dad who have quite a rooster collection. The other items are just miscellaneous things we found ourselves in need of... juice container, rug for by the garage door, a stand for a small painting.

Later we met up with my Sis at Northpark Mall in Dallas. Parking was total chaos. Just as my sister called me to tell me that she was leaving since she had been driving for almost a half hour and couldn't find a spot and all the valet options were full, we both found parking spots around Dillard's. Perhaps that was the less desirable end of the mall. Needless to say we were both ecstatic that we could continue on with our plans!

Before we had completely worn ourselves out from trying on jeans, shirts and dressier work garments here is a pic of us sporting some seriously sequined berets while perusing Metropark....

It was definitely a Kodak moment. Please pardon my super shiny face... that always happens to me. Blotting papers anyone?

I found some amazing t-shirts at Metropark that I can't wait to sport. (Is it completely obvious that I adore things with birds on them?) I just need the right long sleeve shirt to layer these with until the weather warms up....


And here is an awesome shirt Hubby found that The Rambler will definitely appreciate....


Here are a couple of cutesy finds from Anthropologie that I can't wait to wear...



It was an amazingly fun day!
