Girls Day Out... LA Lauren Fashion Styling

Today Amber, Lauren and I had a grand girls day out...... SHOPPING!!!!  Lauren loves helping you look great and helping you spend your money..... and she is so good at what she does.... so you just HAVE to buy the things she has picked out because they make you look and feel GREAT!

We all slept in, so we got off to a bit of a late start, but we sure did fit in (pun intended) a bunch of shopping and errand running in the few hours we were out and about.  We started at this mexican restaurant, which is actually a teeny tiny hole in the wall mexican market that has a couple of bench tables in the back for dining in.  But.... WOW.... the food is sooooo good because it is authentic and sooooo inexpensive.

After filling our tummies with tamales and tacos, off we jaunted to Ann Taylor Loft where we all enjoyed 50% off everything thanks to Lauren's discount.  Amber desperately needed some fall clothing, Lauren needed more socks/leggings, and I went along just for the fun of it and for the good company.  However.... dang Lauren found some really cute stylish things I found I just absolutely needed.... so...... I too became a shopper.  Not that it was much of a stretch for me to join in at all!  I just need the tiniest of encouragement!  LOL

After an hour in Ann Taylor Loft, we scooted right next door to White House/Black Market...... just to see this one dress hanging in the window Amber was admiring.  After another hour in that store trying on many many things.... and a smart jacket later (for me.... very Coco Chanel-ish looking) we were done with the shopping..... it was such fun to have an actual stylist (who truly had our best interests in mind....not someone trying to sell us something no matter how it looks) we all felt quite proud of our purchases and how we looked in them.  And you just gotta love the discount!!!!

On the way home we stopped for some chinese take-out and ended the day/evening with hot and spicy chicken stir fry (me), hot and spicy vegetable lo mein (Lauren), and hot and spicy pad thai (Amber).... really yummy!  Our tummies are full, our wallets are empty and we are all ready to climb in bed totally exhausted.  Why is shopping so exhausting?!??

Wonderful day.... and even tho it was icky, rainy, cloudy, and gloomy all day.... we found the sunshine..... or maybe just really bright store lights!  LOL  Either way.... we felt the sunshine of happiness of just spending the day with each other, giggling and shaking our booties in the 'fat mirrors' of White House/Black Market.
