Milly for Clinique! {Oh, and I Survived Ten Hours at the Mall of America.}

Ten hours.  With three children, my husband, and my parents.  It was a long day.  But when you consider that there is a 7 acre amusement park in the center of this mall, loads of dining and snacking options, and more stores than I could visit in a weekend - it was pretty fun. Hubby even took the kids to play putt putt up on the third floor and I got some shopping time with just my mom.

We got to visit both floors (a couple of times each) of the American Girl store, I checked out a huge - I mean huge - DSW (no purchases), perused some amazing Balenciaga bags  That orange ("mandarine") is a  GORGEOUS color, and had fun shopping crewcuts with my 6 yr old (I couldn't find sizes in two of the new arrivals I was interested in and I was a little miffed there was *no* adult sale section at J Crew - and on labor day weekend).

At Bloomingdales, I came across this lovely Milly for Clinique gift with purchase.  Reminds me of the Trina Turk gwp from Nordstrom not long ago.  Conveniently, my foundation was running low!  I love this printed bag - and the products are very nice too.  The only one I'm not sure I'll try is the lipgloss with the chemical sunscreens.  I am really attached to all my natural Korres lipwear. (The website says this promo is not available in Florida or Atlanta stores.)

And here is a snap of Hubs with my 4 yr old and 7 yr old - finally arrived at the Seattle airport!  My son, bless his heart, slept the entire flight from Minneapolis - but he always seems to get tired walking through airports.  This is his new method of transportation.

Happy Labor Day!
