Tea & Shopping!

Two posts in one week? AMAZING! I even thought about writing yesterday but all I did was work so that wouldn't make for an interesting post. What IS interesting is what I ended up purchasing yesterday though... I know I know... I shouldn't be buying anything in this economic slump... but here we go anyway!

First up is this new perfume that I got. I've been trying to find a new one since the one that I originally use is almost gone, so I found this! It came with a free mirror that you can use as a tray to put all your perfumes or hanging on your wall. I am currently using it as a tray on my desk shelf.The second thing I purchased is this Botkier handbag. I found it on sale in the Handbag department a few days ago and have been stashing it in my office ever since. Also, I could not stop looking and thinking about it. Good thing I bought it too because I have another Botkier bag I bought in November that is tearing at the handle seams and the repair guy at work said it will cost $75... forget THAT. My store manager said I could return it, so then... the bag I bought won't be so expensive since it'll be replacing the other one. Which I really loved... such a shame. This one is HUGE and super soft though. Chris thinks it's made out of calf.... poor baby cows.



So it is NPG week... which means that all Nordstrom brand products at 40% off. I found these cute shoes for only about $50 with my discount. I hardly have ANY brown shoes for going out and since I hardly ever go out, it's not bad to spend $50 right? Well, I didn't really need them but they're so cute with jeans! :-)
So that's what happened yesterday. Oh, I also knocked out at 9:30pm even though I was supposed to wake up at 11pm to play with all my new stuff, that didn't happen. I slept til 1am and then brushed my teeth, read a magazine and then fell back asleep until 9:45am. Woke up early today to go to Chado to get Afternoon Tea with Kat & Crystal. Had Vanilla Coconut tea with Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, & Chicken with Cranberry sandwiches and a scone of course!

After tea we went walking through Old Town. Had to go to Urban to return some stuff I had purchased online so we did that first and then went to Forever 21. Everyone found some cool stuff there but me. :-( I did find this French Press at Crate & Barrel. Granted, Chris bought me a nice one for Christmas but even though it's a "3-cup," it's only 12 ounces so after I had realized how much I like French Press Coffee, I decided to get a "4-Cup," 17 ounce one. Wow, that really isn't that much bigger is it? Well, I just want one that will make me a full cup I guess. The next size up is twice the size and I don't really need one that big since it's just me drinking it and by the time I finish my first cup, the second cup will be cold.


After shopping in Old Town, Kat and I went to Target in Pasadena. I purchased cat food for Winky, Swiffer Dusters Refills, contact solution, eye drops, Arrowhead water, Fiber One Chewy Bar *Oats & Caramel* (soooo tasty by the way), dishwashing soap, and starch for Chris. After that shopping was done, I came home and unpacked EVERYTHING I bought today and yesterday and started to organize it all in my room. Watched "No Reservations" with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart which was actually pretty good. Then took a nap.

When Chris finally got off work after 8pm, he drove out and we went to Gyu-Kaku for dinner and then walked to Cheesecake Factory so that I could buy a slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake... yum!!! Now I am currently devouring that while sipping on a cup of tea.

Off again tomorrow... hooray! :-)
