I took a trip to Bellevue Square today since I am out of La Mer: The Eye Concentrate. I didn’t know that I needed this stuff but treated myself to it last year and got hooked on it since. It's extremely pricey at $165, but I've tried several cheaper brands and this one does the trick on tired puffy eyes, dark circles and fine lines more so than any I've tried (I’m sure a good night’s sleep would work, but that doesn’t always happen). My husband doesn't get why I think I need it, but I can tell the difference.
I also stopped at Aveda to get some hair products. On Friday, I got my hair cut and colored at Gary Manuel Salon downtown and forgot to pick up conditioner, which was the whole point of going to the mall. I also got a free sample pack of Smooth Infusion (if you go in and mention the add or print this out, you get a free sample free pack). I love the smooth infusion products, especially when it’s been rainy like this week. (I am so ready for Spring).

I stopped by J.Crew, although I just had a recent shopping trip. In some of my previous posts, I talk about the different between the downtown Seattle Pacific Place J.Crew and the Eastside Bellevue Square J.Crew. They are like two different stores with different items. My favorite is the one downtown because I tend to find more, but on the weekend I go to the one on the Eastside closer to my home. They had some different Spring items.
Here are some of the things I purchased and tried on:
 |
| Stripe Sunburst Tank, $40 Scarf (in store) $49 |
 |
| Selvage Striped Scarf, $49.50 |
 |
| Dress in store for $129 |
 |
| Forever Cardigan in Spearmint, $39 Swirling Dots Dress, $148 |
 |
| Sundrenched Sweatshirt (sized down) $59 |
 |
| Forever Cotton Cardigan in Spearmint, $39 Vintage Sequin Cotton Tank, $78 |
 |
Coastline-stripe pullover in vintage linen for $65 (sized down) Day Tripper pants in vintage fatigue $69 |
I walked out with the Light Spearmint Forever Cardigan in Cotton, Vintage Cotton Sequin Tank (don't judge - I know I've got enough sequins to start a disco but this is navy), Swirling Dots Dress and the Lace Striped Tee in navy that I could not pass up for $19.99:
I didn't end up getting the other items. I love the Stripe Sunburst Tank, Coastline Stripe Pullover and sweatshirt but will wait for a sale or another visit. I'm waiting for Spring weather.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend!
I really like the sunburst tank and scarf, such a pretty blue! Call me a sucker, I love the sundrenched sweatshirt too. It's sold out online and don't think there will be any left by the time I make my way to a B&M, later this month? And I'm too cheap, I mean, frugal to do a charge/send. Guess I'll look for an alternative. Thanks for posting your pics!
ReplyDeleteLove that striped tee and the pink dress! I am a sucker for pinks and mauves!
ReplyDeleteI use the Elite Eye Serum and it is by far the best thing I have used. It is non-greasy and I feel moisturized all day.
Have a great week!
Ohhhhh! You look great in everything! The Sunburst tee in that blue color is jammin'!
ReplyDeleteThe dots dress looks awesome on you too!
165.00 for eye cream--wow-za--that's what the Celebrities use so I've heard so it must be a good one! I use Obagi products and LOVE my SKIN!
I love all the bright colors you tried on. I hear you on expensive treatments, but hey, if you like it you like it. And I"m sure you deserve it. :)
ReplyDeleteCloset Crisis - there were plenty of the sweatshirts in the B&M in two of the Seattle stores. I bet you could call around.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all the bright colors for Spring.
Rose, Yogagirl, Betty - thanks for the eye cream suggestions. I am now committed to this brand for the next 6 months at $165 but a backup plan is good! :)
The scarf *is* really cute. Sequins are addicting, so I'm not in a position to point fingers ;-). Thanks for sharing irl pics.
ReplyDeleteYou look good in everything!!! Great reviews!
ReplyDeleteThe hot pink dress is to die for! I adore classic cuts with a pop of color like that. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day!
