"WOW its sooo BIG!" that's what she said (aka me)

This weekend I went shopping!!!!

I was supposed to go to the Jersey Gardens outlet mall with my bff from high school but when I got to her house to pick her up she wasn't home yet from her previous night's shenanigans. Good thing I had JP with me so I didn't have to take on that mall alone. But I'm disappointed I didn't get to see my bff because its been a really long time since I've hung out with her and I made the trip so that I could. Next time.

So its been like 4 years since I've been to this mall and it felt like I was going back home. There were lots of changes to the mall too. Especially Forever21. They built a new one and it is HUGE!! I was very excited and felt like I went to heaven (everything was white, cream, and pastel colored at the entrance) I mean its no NYC Forever21 with 4 stories but I liked it so much better anyway. It was a lot more organized than all the other Forever21s I've been to so I was actually able to shop without getting a headache and giving up. Each line had its own section (theres a kids line!!) so it was like a bunch of stores in one.

If it weren't for the $150 I just spent on a new speed sensor, I would have bought so much more but I started to get my usual financial induced anxiety and lost momentum.

Here's what I bought:

Forever21 - 2 slouchy fitting tank tops with that lace/crochet stuff in the back, 1 without, and a cute zip up cinched waist blouse

Charlotte Russe - a floral A-line cinched waist dress that zips in the front top half, and a pinky/coral floral skirt

Bath & Body Works - 3 body sprays: Moonlight Path, Secret Wonderland, and the new (and amazing) Country Chic

Some beauty store in the mall - E.L.F. quad in Luxe (its got a really nice burgundy kind of color) and N.Y.C. lip gloss in Dusty Rose that I'm finding to be too grainy feeling from the gold specks and too gold but really pretty nonetheless.

Ulta (not in same mall) - ulta brand eyeshadow singles in Silk (an off white/champaign color) and Trendsetter (a kind of taupe). I got these because I have the E.L.F. Day 2 Night eyeshadow quad and found that the 2 lighter colors are perfect for a neutral everyday look for me (other neutrals are too muddy looking or invisible). So I wanted to find full sizes of those colors so I wouldn't have to buy a quad every couple months just for 2 colors (even though its only $1 but I figure it will be good to take with me for travel when I know I'll be going out and can use the darker colors to dramatize the look so I wanted to conserve the palette...its a really lovely versatile palette)

Next time....SHOES!!
