{Kansas City Spring 2011}

Had such a fun time in Kansas City on Sunday. Got up super early so that we could have the whole day. I love when my mom comes into town, we always do stuff on the weekend. We went to the Country Club Plaza which is such a nice place to shop, they just opened a 2 story Forever 21! We ate lunch at O'Dowds Pub, 5 cheese macaroni & cheese...yum! Got some cute bargins from Urban Outfitters. Then we headed to Oak Park Mall so I could pick up these and then to this cute little Italian festival where we stumbled across 50 cent frozen peach bellinis, could've hung out there all day. Monday is already over and I have so much homework this week. Already ready for the weekend!

Road Trip!

So, like I said, me, my mom, and my sister took off for a couple of days to Kansas City. We did some major shopping and ate some great food, it was a blast. First off we went to a MEGA Marshalls/Homegoods, I had never been to a Homegoods and it was great, very good prices. We also went to Old Time Pottery which is a huge warehouse full of anything and everything, I always find an insane deal there. We ate at the California Pizza Kitchen, so good! Our hotel was located in The Country Club Plaza, so on our second day, we walked around the plaza and went to Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Bare Escentuals, Papersouce, and ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. We also hit up a couple of flea markets and vintage shops, they have some great ones. And, of course we went to my favorite store, Pryde's of Westport, if you're ever in KC, you have to check it out, it has everything for the kitchen & house and so much more,there is even a bakery on the bottom floor.
I love getting out of town even if it only a day or two and only 3 hours away. Can't wait to go back!

{Vacation!}

Its finally here! I am on a well deserved Spring Break. I don't think it could have come at a better time. I have been super stressed at work and I can't wait to just relax. I usually try and plan some kind of trip on my weeks off, but this time I am just laying low.
I am planning on: cleaning, organizing, resting,catching up on my DVR'd shows, flea marketing, planning our trip to NYC, and maybe a little baking. I am also going to Kansas City for a day or two with my mom and sister to do some retail therapy. Can't wait to go the the Country Club Plaza, Old Time Pottery, Garden Ridge and eat at The Cheesecake Factory! So, hopefully this weekend is great (hopefully no snow (?!?) in the forecast) and next week even better!
