Nordstrom Rack, St. Louis

by //

So I’ve been reading about everyone in New York going to Fashion’s Night Out and New York Fashion Week and I’ve got to admit, I’m a wee bit jealous. So when my friend, Anna, asked me to go to Nordstrom Rack’s opening day, I couldn’t resist. Ha ha! No mocking, please.

So I got a little dressed up and decided to go. Little did I know that there were going to be people basically pushing me out of their way…

If you haven’t been to a Nordstrom Rack, it’s so fun! It’s set up more like Marshalls, or TJ Maxx, but in the way that Nordstrom would do it. Nice things at a discount. I’ll be going back for sure! Especially when I have more money to spend.

Get in line

Really wanted to buy these Coach boots, but decided I should stick to the ones I am already getting for my birthday—my mother-in-law bought me an awesome pair! You’ll be seeing them soon. Or do you think I should go back and get these? Ugh! Decisions!

Wanna know what we did last night? We went to a minor league baseball game! It was so fun. They had lawn seats, so we brought a couple of blankets and hung out. It was so fun! Really reminded me of the Sandlot for some reason. I guess it’s because I love that movie and have most of it memorized . . . The Beast, Wendy Peffercorn, Big Cheif Chew, the list goes on and on.

Anyway.

Before we left, we walked outside and there was a double full rainbow! Please tell me you’ve heard that video? It’s pretty funny. But, it really was pretty cool. A bunch of our neighbors were out enjoying the view and taking pictures just like we were.

We brought Bella to the game and she made us so many friends! Everyone loves that dog. I tell ya, if you want to strike up conversations with strangers, bring a dog to a baseball game or carry a ukelele through the airport. (I’ll save the ukelele story for another time.)

Weekend Wedding

by //

We had a wedding this past weekend. It was beautiful. The reception was on the Hill in St. Louis. The Hill is like a little taste of Italy. It’s basically a little town with a million authentic Italian restaurants, from gourmet to home cooked style. It’s amazing. The wedding had some serious garlic bread that’s making me want to make some of my own.

Anyway, some good things happened to me this weekend.

  1. Someone told my father-in-law that I looked like Jennifer Aniston!
    OK, so I know I really don’t look like her at all. But the fact that someone would even compare me to her is absolutely amazing! Ha!
  2. While walking around on The Hill, I got whistled at! Can you imagine! That has never happened to me. And Bob was standing right there! Craziness!
  3. I got to slow dance with Bob. Hubba hubba!
  4. Even in 5 inch heels, Bob is still taller than me.
  5. I had 2 of my favorite cocktail, the Shirley Temple. Yes, it’s non-alcoholic. What can I say!
  6. Got 2 free meals!

So, how was your weekend?
