Anniversary Sale Time!

Dear Nordstrom,

Every year at this time I anxiously await your doors opening at 7:00am to grab the latest fashion at the best prices.  I spend the days preceding flipping through the catalog and searching through the pages online.  While I love getting new boots for fall or new work dresses ~ my absolute favorites are the Beauty Exclusives (Cosmetics, Perfumes, Skin Care, and Value Sets only available @ Nordstrom)!  I love picking up the newest or limited editions @ great prices from my favorite brands such as Chanel, M.A.C, or philosophy.  Here are a few of my favs that I'll be picking up tomorrow, bright n' early!

~ Quatuor Boutons De Chanel
~ M.A.C Look in a Box set...although haven't decided which one! (page 55 of online catalog)
~ Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Fresh Moisture Mist Spray (page 58 of online catalog)
~ ...and most likely a couple philosophy items :)



See you @ seven ~ with Latte in hand!

Love,
Elizabeth

Monday Funday on the Patio @ Il Fornaio

Dear Il Fornaio, 

Joshua and I rarely have full days together, but when we do have a Funday you are our favorite destination for a perfect Warm Day’s refreshing lunch.  We love eating and laughing and reminiscing and planning out on the patio over our glasses of chardonnay and the season’s selections of unique appetizers, salads, and the specialty pizzas.   

Our favorites ~ Prosciutto e Melone, Insalata di Tonno or Insalata con Filetto di Manzo, and usually any of the specialty pizzas (we enjoyed the artichoke, prosciutto, and kalamata olive pizza on Monday).

Love,

Elizabeth

PS ~ They also make amazing tiramisu and coffee!
