A day of shopping

Yesterday Dominic had to work so I decided to make the treck to Walnut Creek, I consider this the meca of shopping for reasons you're about to discover! My first stop was Ann Taylor Loft. I needed a few new things for work as the weather is getting HOT, mid 90's today! I picked up two new shirts to go with my new blue capris...

They're perfect because they are nice enough for work but not too 'mother of a 2 year old' looking....for those of you who don't know what this means...I have NO problems with kids and we would like some of our own in the next few years, but I just can't bring myself to look like that 'soccer mom'. Anyway, these do nicely and they were on sale.

My next stop..please proceed cautiously...
I have been DYING to go to this place and didn't realize it was at w.c. until we got HOME the last time. I spent about an hour in here and could have easily spent several thousand on a new organized closet system so that I could get out of the guest room and said child could have a place to reside in our small house, but I held back and bought just a few items...
I'm going to start by using these handy pop-up containers for eclair's treats and if I like them I'm bound to redo the entire kitchen in them... Dominic still can't understand why that would be necessary as food already comes in containers but I love organization...if you have never seen our cupboards you're in for a surprise.... (and NO I didn't organize them for the photos)
and I'm actually embarassed to put up this next one...hense my desire to get those new containers...you can see eclair's on the bottom shelf to the right
and look what I've been hiding, per Dominic's request so he won't eat them all at once
from there I went to Pottery barn, williams sonoma, restoration hardware, tiffany's, pottery barn kids, ann taylor, Gap, Crate and Barrel, Macy's, Nordstroms, White house Black market, Jcrew, Banana republic, Victorias Secret....you can see why I consider this the mecca of shopping....Luckily the house is just about done and I am trying to save for our little va-ca coming up next weekend....and just in case you thought Dominic stayed home and didn't do anything he hit some balls in preparation for Friday's little 4 man scramble prior to the wedding.....We're off to try and decide on patio furniture...Love you all
