When: Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Where: Detroit, MI

What: Tank, bracelet & ring (Forever 21), necklace (a gift from hubby), skirt ($30 Banana Republic on sale), handbag ($40 Kenneth Cole via Loehmann’s), shoes ($40 diBa via Filene’s Basement)

During the quickest trip ever to my hometown of Detroit, MI, I managed to squeeze in an excursion to the mall to pick up a wedding gift.  Ahhh, the memories…

Going to the mall was one of my favorite pastimes growing up, and I kinda missed it since New York City isn’t exactly known for it’s malls.  While it’s unbelievably cool to browse shops on 5th Avenue or discover new boutiques in Soho, there’s something to be said about going into a single air-conditioned building and popping in and out of your favorite stores while eating a Cinnabon and sipping on Orange Julius. It’s just plain American, in my book.

When: Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Where: Strolling around NYC

What: Dress (Gunne Sax via vintage shop in SF), handbag ($100 Michael Kors via T.J. Maxx), shoes ($40 Nine West via Shoe Woo), shades ($20 Moschino via Loehmann’s)

After countless eBay bidding wars and fruitless Etsy searches, I had just about given up my dream of owning a vintage Gunne Sax dress…

That was until my recent trip to San Francisco where I scored this awesome vision of loveliness. After an afternoon of window-shopping on Haight Street, I couldn’t believe my luck when I found it!

When: Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Where: Norwalk, CT

What: Hat (Esprit), dress (Forever 21), shoes ($30 Steve Madden via Loehmann’s), handbag ($50 Cole Haan), necklace (Brooklyn Flea)

This past weekend, my husband and I decided to make a quick jaunt to Connecticut.  I’ve driven through the state on numerous occasions on my way to other places, but this was my first real visit.

We had a great time checking out the aquarium, browsing shops in the historic district, and grabbing a nice, quite dinner at a little Italian restaurant before catching the train back to NYC.

Sometimes it’s nice to take a quick break from the city.
