Saturday in the City

I normally avoid heading all the way into the city on the weekends, but with Pat in Vegas, I was more than willing to hang out with Miss Lauris in the city yesterday.  It was the prettiest day of the year so far - 70s in March.  Wow. 

We met up at Mesa Grill for brunch/late lunch around 2 pm.  I thought it was very good.  I had some mahi mahi:

Laurisa opted for breakfast food.

And thanks to the nice gentleman sitting by us, a picture of both of us:

Since we were already on 5th Avenue, we were ready for some shopping.  I had a Friends & Family 30% discount for Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy that came in very handy.  There are also several paper good stores which were awesome.  Look at all these stickers!!

I was very excited and had to control my spending.

After we had shopped til we dropped, we were ready for a drink. 

I had been craving a cider for a while.  So good.

If you want to check out my purchases, keep on reading.  I'm saving my favorite for last.  :)

Might wear the shoes and dress to an upcoming rehearsal dinner, we'll see.

I got this as a beach cover up.  The brown matches my bikini.  :o)

Cards and stickers and the best scrapbooking markers.

Cute passport cover.  Sadly no stamps.  I haven't been out of the country since our Costa Rican honeymoon which was before I updated to my married name.

And my only non-SALE item of the day:

A jewelry stand for my earrings!

It was fun to arrange them - I think I can remember pretty much where I got each pair. 

Many are treasured gifts. 

In case you happen to like this stand, here is the Urban Outfitters Link.  I feel like I have a ton of earrings, but I still have plenty of empty space for later additions.  Oh boy.  =)

Such a fun time in the city.  Thanks for a great day Laurisa!!
