So I found my perfect sunglasses at Bloomingdales today! I don't collect sunnies - I just have a pair of classic Chanels in black with silver that I wear all the time - so I've been on the hunt for a nice pair of tortoiseshell/gold. I wanted oversized to protect as much of the eye area as possible and round but not too round, and found exactly what I was looking for in the Gucci Oversized "Coin Logo" Sunglasses in Havana! Even though they are big, the tortoiseshell frame is thinner/more delicate and not overwhelming or heavy. They feel great on.
It started pouring rain right after I put them on! Boo!
Bloomies has also been running a promotion - 15% off pretty much everything in the store - which I think was ending today. Yes, this included designer sunglasses (except Chanel). So I got a discount too! They were serving espresso, passing around cookies, and had a photo booth set up - my girls had fun with that. In the children's department, they had a very talented lady doing face-painting, so we walked out of there with a fairy, a flower, and this little tiger:
I also finally, finally scored my Amber Maya cardigan at the J Crew at Perimeter Mall (Atlanta) after looking for it at the North Point and The Avenue stores to no avail. I spotted one lonely cardi hanging on a rack with some velvet jackets. I seriously was astonished when I looked at the tag and saw it was a small! (If you follow my tweets you may have noticed that I tweeted happily immediately from the dressing room.) Later I noticed two larges on a table. This one is selling through quickly.
While at the counter to check out I noticed three of the darling little sparkly gold bracelets that I remember Summerilla blogging about awhile back... and marked to $29.99! I had just seen it yesterday at another store full price. So, I scored one of those as well! I don't recall ever seeing it online, but I believe it originally retailed for $55. Overall, a very good shopping day.

what a blast.........love it all !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunglasses! They are a nice size and don't have a "trendy" look to them that many oversized glasses have. And they certainly didn't just bring any old face painter did they???? Your son's face is amazing! Holy cow. I have to check out my j.crew for the bracelet, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the new sunnies:) You look amazing in them!! Your son makes a very cute tiger! I am happy you found your Maya in Amber-----I need to get one of these sweaters!!!!!!! Love both colors you got, but i need to decide between the amber or dusty rose.......enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!!!!
