life as we make it

hot, humid, 96 degree weather and tom and i didn’t have a beach day planned! to avert a day of bratty sulking from his wife, tom suggested a shopping day at the wrentham village outlet. (ha, he knows what’s good for him!)

it turned out to be a perferct day to shop. since everyone was probably at the beach, we didn’t have to deal with a big crowd and long lines.  i haven’t really gone shopping since before Christmas. so six months, hence, i was ready to break-out the wallet and start with the Christmas shopping again (what a vicious cycle). 

bags and shoes, here i come. ( this addiction, my sisters and i got from my mom is not helping my budget at all). so first stop, burberry. i am still waiting for the open tote bag i liked so much to go on sale, but i guess i was out of luck. i poured all my energies on shoes, instead.

well, fifty shops and ten shoes later (not all mine, promise), we headed out to Coleman. The real reason we trekked to wrentham was to find a replacement for our 10-year old tent. lo and behold, the coleman store wasn’t there anymore, but it was replaced by a bigger and better Coach store!!!.

The magnet that pulls me to Coach everytime was to be blamed on my dear mother as well!  She got her Coach bag in 1998, and back then I can barely borrow it. (besides they kinda  looked old-ish and mommy-ish to the 23-yo me). How times have changed, who would have thought, 10 years later that: (1) Coach would appeal to everyone, and (2) I would be living in the US and be shopping for her Coach!  I am definetely feeding her addiction since this would be her 3rd one.

Well, the luck I didnt have at Burberry and Coleman I finally found there— racks and racks of purses on sale.

A girl’s gotta indulge a little sometimes.

(Tom was probably thinking, we should have gone to Six Flags instead, hehehe, oh well he took my picture, so it must have not been that bad=)
