I'm Back! Spring Break Beach Haul!
I hope everyone had an awesome Spring Break! I know we sure did! We are back from Orange Beach and Destin and I wanted to share with you some of the good deals and fun stuff I bought while down at the beach. I enjoy going to all the surf shops and local places and they also have a really awesome outlet mall too. Good times!
I'll start off with my biggest purchase (price wise) of the trip. I went to the Coach outlet and got a super cute new purse! Original retail price was $128 and they had it for $79 at the outlet. When I arrived at the Coach store, they were also handing out 20% off coupons for that day only. So yeah, I got my purse for $63! WooooHoooo!!!
We went to the Fossil outlet because my hubby was wanting to get a new watch. He found a really nice new watch and I found this one! It's a white Adidas sport watch with a digital pink dial. It was originally $60 and I got it for $29!
I love the fact that there is a Juicy Couture outlet at this particular mall. How cool is that? I got a pair of pale yellow terry track pants for $19! Original price $89.
I was very excited to see an AE had been added to this outlet mall since I had been last year. It was a regular AE with the current new items and then it had a large clearance section. I got 2 shirts - both on sale for $10 each, some cute sunglasses for $10 and a set of 3 pairs of earrings for $7. I bought the one printed shirt just so that I could cut it up like in this video - check it out!
AE Shirt Tail T in Chalk - perfect for layering! It's big and off the shoulder and would be cute with a big belt =)
AE Wanderer Sunglasses in Black - LOVE THESE!
All items are currently on sale at all AE's now.
Whenever I go to the outlets I always like to check if there is a CCO - Cosmetics Company Outlet. If you are not familiar with CCO, they carry only Estee Lauder brand products, such as Clinique, MAC, Estee Lauder etc. So yeah you can guess why I love to shop there - MAC!!! I got a lipstick in Way to Love and an eyeshadow single in Mink and Sable. All for $21. It would have been around $10 more at the MAC counter.
And just because it's so freakin gorgeous - a close up for ya:
So that pretty much wraps up my outlet mall trip. I found a bunch of really cute bracelets and necklaces at the surf shops, a cute little seashell jewelry box and I also got several tee shirts at some of the beach restaurants and pubs we went to. We had so much fun and I can't wait to go back!
Okay so I saved the best for last. I got a new tat while down at the beach! I found a fantastic shop down there and it couldn't have been better - very clean, extremely nice and knowledgeable staff and artists with serious skills. I've been wanting to get a small cross tattoo (it's about 1.5 inches long on my left wrist) for sometime now and was so excited when my artist (Lou) showed me this one. He also used a black cherry colored ink for definition and shadows to make the cross look old/antiqued. I love how it turned out and couldn't be more pleased.
Here's a link to Trillium Studios site and also a pic of the new ink!
Until tomorrow!
