Pretty Excited

Yes, I am!  So I am pretty darned excited about the Vancouver Anthropologie Grand Opening this coming Friday, May 13th!  

I'm already planning an all-day babysitter for my little Benna (probably Nana & Lolo) and strategizing my plan of attack on the big day.

I am pretty sure I will be begging my parents to come over at 8am so I can be at Anthro when the doors open at 9:00am.  Oh yeah!  And I've even asked my hubby for a discretionary bonus so I can make a significant purchase to commemorate this long awaited event in the history of Vancouver shopping!  

I hope to snag some things on sale (as this is always my first pursuit as soon as I enter through the doors of any Anthro) and am hoping there will be shoes (crossing fingers!) at this location too!

Here are some items of what is currently in my Spring 2011 wishlist:









T-minus 3 days until opening!  Yay!

Ciao for now...

AWOL

Hello Blog World, sorry I have been out of touch. Christmas was crazy and I'm still trying to catch up with my life, let alone blog. My husband and I took our baby girl and both sets of grandparents to Disneyland for the holidays all the while we have been trying to make a decision on purchasing land and building our dream home in a matter of weeks! We seem to like making big life decisions when we are already occupied with something else!

Anyway, the decision has been made, financing has been secured, lawyers have been dealt with and now onto staging, realtors and builders. Yay (insert sarcasm here)!

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the future dream home...but not so thrilled about the oodles of gigantic work ahead. If my next 11 months is going to be anything close to what it's been like the last 3 weeks then I"m in for a heck of a ride. Not to mention migraines and head colds (which I seem to always get when I'm stressed). I've got to start working out again or at least get yoga back into my routine to offset the impending stress.

Well, the good news is there will be 2 Anthropologie's opening up in the lower mainland by Spring 2011. So at least I will have retail therapy within a short driving distance for those oh-so-stressful days!

Speaking of which, back to the main purpose of this blog...

I've got lots of Anthro purchase pics to share since my last post. I pretty much spent all my vacation money at the Anthro's in California (Newport Beach at Fashion Island and Los Angeles at The Grove). Got some great deals on some really cute items. Plus, I have had some great luck with a few pop-backs from the Fall 2010 collection and a few stragglers still waiting for me to pick up at Hagen's. Phew! That's a lot of shopping! Don't tell my sister or husband, unfortunately they don't approve of my Anthro habits. Oh well. ;)

I hope to post up some pics very soon. Until then...
