Cleveland shopping report:
Cavewoman and I began the day at the infamous T J Maxx. This has pretty much become our routine. The store had been rearranged so I stood at the door trying to get my bearings. Patti dived right in. The beauty section was pretty much a bust except for my spotting of Z Bigatti cream that normally retails for $155. The TJ Maxx price was less than $20.
The purse section was overflowing with pink coach bags. Patti found me the Kors bag that I have been coveting. She owns it and has received the most compliments on it. It is a lovely teal-ish leather with metal studs scattered on it.
I caved.
I bought holiday bags and Patti found the most incredible wrapping paper I had ever seen.
We left and went straight to Beachwood.
We played in the Nordstorm beauty department. Patti did damage at the Chanel counter while I experimented at Stila. No one bothered me which I loved.
My goal was gray eyeshadows. I decided on Twilight (a shimmery silver), Shore (a shimmery heather gray) and Diamond Lil. The Lil was sold out...everywhere.
I can not say I am surprised. It is a damn fine shadow. Instead of the Diamond Lil I chose Heather. It is a pale pink.
I also finally purchased the Philosophy Microdelivery Peel and DDF Glycolic Exfoliating Wash. I am hoping for a skincare miracle. One of my new years resolutions is starting a successful skincare routine. I want dewey perfect skin with a lovely glow.
The big purchase was the J Crew coat. I loved the tailoring and pretty dutch blue color. Cavewoman loved its hong kong finish.
It arrived yesterday and it looked amazing on. I recommend it to everyone.
It does not look like much on the hanger but transforms on the body. I am not exaggerating when I say...it looks like I lost 10 pounds when I put it on.

It comes in jade, chocolate brown, black, and blue.
We ended the night with dinner with Griff and Tussah from makeupalley. We ate like kings at a 5 star mexican eatery. We had lime flavored rice with seasoned chicken/beef or pork, a dallop of rich sour cream, corn salsa, and lots of cheese. Our cocktail was a chilled diet coke with fresh limes.

Shopping with you is always fabulous, Annie! I can't think of a thing to add here, but I will try. Our usual TJMaxx is heading downhill, we are lucky to find some goodies there anymore, but I am happy you got that beautiful Kors. The wrapping paper is stunning, it looks like Florentine paper!
That new JCrew coat makes you look like a pencil! It was superbly constructed. Annie should have mentioned that I shop for clothes from the inside out. I always look inside any garment to check the constructon, since I used to hand-tailor my own coats and jackets.
Nordstrom at Beachwood is a great place to shop for makeup. We can linger and dip into testers without being haunted by SA's.
Ending the day with Tussah and Griff was such a treat. I think we could have sat there and dished over our dishes for a few more hours!
And now, MAC Lingerie here we come! See you at 9:30am tomorrow, Monday, which coat will you wear?
See you at 9:30.
I will be wearing the new coat.
I love the stories of your life, A ... especially the ones where you and cavewoman make major dents in the retail property around Ytown ... there's a book to be written here, not-Bridget-but-better. xoxo
I LOVE Chipotle. I wish we had one here. When we lived back home, we'd drive to Kent once a month or so for Chipotle!
Now we have to drive to Indy.
