Spring Break Shopping Trip

It's almost Spring Break so Eloise and I are preparing for our own fun in the sun getaway. Since we are the best of friends we again planned our Spring Break together this year! We are flying down in a week to swim in the bright blue waters of the Bahamas. Besides, Eloise needs a break from her hectic life. She is always running her kids around and keeping her home spotless! I am so excited; I could really go for a couple strawberry daiquiris on the beach.  You know us, we always need to look our best. So, what better way to prepare for our girls vacation than to go shopping in our favorite store, Leigh's?



Eloise decided to wear a very posh dress by 10 Crosby Derek Lam. The colors are just darling on her.  She accented the dress colors with dangly earrings by Theia and a gold and silver necklace by Pono. Both Eloise and I brought our Kate Spade handbags, because nothing gets us more in the mood for shopping than a handbag or clutch by Kate Spade.




I, myself, chose to wear this gorgeous top by One Grey Day with my favorite brown NYDJ denim. I wasn't quite in the mood for earrings, but I did throw on this chunky necklace by Escape From Paris.

           



Our first stop in the store was the Lilly Pulitzer collection. Look at all these darling, colorful shorts.
Eloise couldn't help herself; she fell in love with this striped pink and white Lilly Pulitzer dress. I wouldn't be surprised if she wore it on our first day of vacation! I ended up buying some blue and white Lilly shorts. I am hoping to catch the eye or two of some handsome men on the beach. While Eloise was busy trying on some shorts I browsed through all the other colorful spring clothes while I chatted with my favorite sales associates.



Once Eloise was done trying on shorts, she quickly headed over to the makeup counter. She told me she desperately needed more Laura Mercier. Julia, one of our favorite makeup artists helped her pick out the perfect shades. Eloise seemed a little stiff as she tried on a new shade of blush, but Julia helped her relax. We love Julia because she understands our love of makeup. She also pointed us to the Sun Bum table to buy some sun screen and after sun lotion. Eloise and I love to lay in the sun, but we always want to protect our skin to keep it's porcelain glow!




While Eloise finished up her purchases I picked up some of my favorite lipstick and headed to check out the jewelry. After all, it's very important that I keep my jewelry fashion up to date.


                  


I found some gorgeous dangly earrings and the most attractive gold ring that I just had to get. Overall it was a very eventful day. Hopefully everyone is as excited for Spring Break as we are! We hope everyone enjoys themselves. Definitely go check out all the new Spring and Summer collections at Leigh's. It will easily put you in the mood for some fun and sun!
