Weekend

Here's what I did this weekend.

 

Got a hair cut. Sporting bangs again. Went to a new salon and ended up loving the cut.

 

Celebrated my good friend Kerrie's 30th Birthday. Went to dinner at Napolese Pizzeria, a new restaurant in Indy for dinner. It's the same company that owns Patachou restaurants and equally as amazing! Try it out! 

Kerrie and her husband Hank flying with the artwork at Plat 99 the swanky bar in the new Alexander hotel that serves "inventive cocktails". Another must try!

 

Saturday, Dan and I decided to shop. We hit up J Crew outlet.

 

Then bought some new artwork at the Inventorialist, a shop on Mass Ave that has everything from vintage furniture, signs, artwork, pottery, and all kinds of other fun knick knacks.

Sunday, I shopped some more. Loving the floral fabrics I found above and trying to decide what to make with them Skirts? Dresses?

Found this pillow at Marshalls and I just love it! I can't stop thinking about it, so I might go back and get it!

 

 

How was your weekend?

Prabal Gurung for Target

So this is how today went. I woke up at 7am thanks to the dog. I woke up with a hangover thanks to a mini pitcher of green goodness at Kilroys last night (lesson learned). I got up, took the dog out, and headed to Target. I drove a little further to a Super Target with hopes that it would have a good selection. You guys know I have been looking forward to this day for some time. My number one item was this floral crush print dress.

The parking lot seemed empty at 7:55, but then I arrived to this. Which I just think is funny, but I participated and ran in all Supermarket Sweep like at 8am.

This is what me and my 5 new friends found. We were all like "where's the rest?"

All bummed out we each took a few pieces to the dressing room. We checked out the shoe department to find the same situation. Only about 4 of the shoe styles were available. It was kind of funny, we each whipped out our phones looking up other Targets and checking online for styles and sizes. 

This is what I ended up buying. I wanted something with that damn floral print and this was all that they had. It's cute, but it's really just a tee. 

Don't mind my second day makeup and puffy hangover face. 

I did try on this dress, which is the same style as the floral and I'm somewhat happy that it actually didn't fit that well.

Since, I didn't have luck with the Prabal Gurung line I shopped the rest of Target and this peplum came home with me too! 

I finished my grocery shopping while at Target and then came home with the intention of hitting another Target later in the day. I looked up several items online only to find they were out of stock in all Indianapolis area locations and sold out online. Boo! 

So then I drowned my sorrows in half a bag of Cadbury Eggs and took a nap. 

In case you are wondering, I feel much better now and am moving on the other things. I'm currently online shopping and watching IU. 

Nice little Sunday. 

Did you have any luck? What pieces did you get? 

Fashion's Night Out Indianapolis

Over the past few years I have heard about my friends (in other cities) participating in Fashion's Night Out events and sales and I have always been a little jealous! Well I no longer have to be jealous, because FNO is coming to Indianapolis THIS YEAR! Next Thursday! 

What is Fashion's Night Out you may ask??

Founded in NYC in 2009, Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) is an unprecedented global initiative celebrating fashion, restoring consumer confidence, boosting the industry’s economy during the recession, and putting the fun back in shopping. Past FNO events have featured special limited-edition products, celebrity appearances, unforgettable performances, and incredible giveaways.

Last year's bash featured events in eighteen countries and more than 4,500 events here in the States. With special limited-edition products, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable performances, FNO 2012 is promising to be even bigger and better than before!

Indianapolis is celebrating FNO as an official participant for the first time this year and I am SOOO excited about it!!! FNO is being presented by Pattern Indy, which is the fashion networking group I have been attending meetups with over the last few months. 

Fashion's Night Out is Thursday September 6th from 6-10pm. 

Some participating retailers include: 

The Fashion Mall, Saks Fifth Ave, the Circle Centre Mall, and the Indianapolis International Airport.

Several stores within the malls are participating. For more information check the Pattern Indy website!!
