How can you ask someone who could shop as their profession what their favorite store is?
I mean, cmon.
Look, I have many, many, many favorites. Some for crafting, some for the kids, some for makeup, some for household goods, some online stores. I can shop EV-EH-REY-DAY.
That should read...I DO shop everyday.
Here are some of my favorites in no particular order....
Urban Outfitters
One of my all-time favs is Urban Outfitters. What's not to like about a store that sells women's, men's and home goods? They also have great sales. GASP. In fact the one pictured is the one on Melrose; sister and I spent LOTS of time and LOTS of cash in THAT UO right there. I even worked at a UO while in college (yes their discount is pretty terrific.) Some of my favorite outfits and home accessories, to this day, have been and are from UO.
Michaels
My name is Elena. And I'm a craftaholic. Since I no longer have to do crazy Google searches that look like {blog about crafts; blogging crafts; crafty blogs} because of that great website you might have heard of? Pinterest?
Yeah that one.
My crafting has been taken to a new level because I don't spend all day looking for blogs that have craft tutorials. It's fantastic. And so now Michael's is a frequently frequented store.
*I should add, that JoAnn Fabrics is also a fav. I browse and gawk at all the pretty fabric wishing I could do more with all the pretties I see.
Goodwill
I love thrift stores, not just the Goodwill. Thrifting, junking, whatever you call it, there are some gems out there. Back before retro and vintage were on the forefront of every woman's mind you could find some really awesome frocks from yesteryear, if for nothing else than a dress pattern. You can go to a vintage resale shop and pay like $100 bucks for what you can find on your own {with some elbow grease} for a buck.
*Speaking of vintage....Modcloth, Unique Vintage, Trashy Diva are some of the greatest sites for the vintage inspired shopper...
Pumpkin Patch
When I became a momma my love for finding cute clothing and stuff almost completely transferred to baby stuff. And this was the store that provided almost all of the items I clothed my kids with.
WAS.
Yep. WAS.
As of January 2012 they closed all of their American stores and will now only be found online or in Nordstrom. Now, let me tell you, shopping at Nordys isn't a problem, but I will sorely miss going to PP. Please come back and open just ONE store! Please????
Nordstrom
Did you see what I did right there? Smooth transition huh?
Thank you college.
Well what more is there to say about Nordstrom? Lifelong shopper, since Dad used to take us to reward us for rewardable things, like, yknow, doing stuff. He instilled a love for fashion that sister and I have a love-love-hate relationship with.
ETSY
Then there are those days where I'm looking for something specific or crafty or it's late and what do you do when it's late?
ETSY.
That's what you do. Is there something that you can't find on ETSY? I'm not quite sure.
Printable invitations, household goods, kids clothing too cute to stand, supplies. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it all.
As a matter of facttttttt....I think I'll wrap this post up for now I have, ughhhh, stuff to do.
See you tomorrow for DAY 4!
