Au Natural
I am a big fan of Michael Kors’ watches. I bought one a few years ago with a really big face (mainly because I couldn’t read small faces any longer) and get tons of compliments on it. They have fabulous quality, beautiful designs, and come in tons of stylish options. I’m really digging the new “naturals” collection and thought I’d share my favorites with you.
1. Ritz Sand Acetate Bracelet $225
2. Espresso Tone Stainless Steele and Horn Acetate Bracelet $160
3. Rio Alabaster Acetate and Stainless Steele Cuff Bracelet $195
These are more simple but still quite stunning. The colors will go with just about anything in your wardrobe, which is always a plus.
4. Chronograph White Horn Acetate Bracelet $275
5. Chronograph Gold Tone Stainless and Tortoise Acetate Bracelet $275
6. Chronograph Tortoise Acetate and Rose Gold Bracelet
I adore chronograph watches and these are gorgeous. They are chic and classic with just the right amount of bling.
all styles shown are available at Macy’s
If you’re in the market for a new watch, I highly recommend Michael Kors. Not only do they come in natural, but gold, silver, and my new favorite-rose gold.

What’s New at MOA
I haven’t been to the Mall of America since my store closed 5 months ago. After spending 6 years there, I needed a break! Yesterday, I decided it had been long enough and went to see what was new at MOA.
H&M Sweater, Rock and Republic jeggings, Staccato boots, Chanel sunglasses, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Metropark jewelry(all purchased through the years at MOA)
The right bracelet makes all the difference
My first stop was the new store Superdry. Superdry is a very popular mens and womens retailer in Europe and is now making it’s way Stateside. The Mall of America location is one of nine in the States and the only one in the midwest. The store manager, Shannon, is one of the best when it comes to customer service and her staff is equally as passionate as she is. Superdry is a mix of preppy and trend, and their jacket collection is just what we need in Minnesota.
Brad Leather Jacket $350
Lumberjack Twill $90
Hooded Polar Windcheater $140
Vintage Thrift Floral Leggings $46
Superdry is running a promotion Friday-Monday-Buy one, get one half off (equal or lesser value). Be sure to stop in and check it out!

My second stop was the new Michael Kors store. Beautiful, and I love their watches. This is my latest desire-
Baguette-Bezel Rose Gold watch $295

American Eagle had just set up their new accessories shop-very cute. Lots of great fashion books and adorable jewelry.
My Wonderful World of Fashion $19.95-a great gift for the budding fashionista

The remodeled Gap is just lovely. It’s more like a boutique and I found it much easier to shop. They are running a pant and jean promotion-buy one, get one 50% off.
The Leggings Cord $59.95

I can always find something at Urban Outfitters! I just love the store manager, Sydney. She has the best energy and it is infectious. Urban has a little bit of everything and is like a treasure hunt. Love this jacket-
Silence the Noise Fur Zip Jacket $89

I really found my heart’s desire at H&M. I find this store very hit or miss, but they have some great fall items now. I think it’s no secret I have a love for faux-fur and this jacket is the one!!
Faux Fur Jacket $69.95

A little info from a birdie-MOA will be opening at midnight Black Friday. Don’t know if it’s rumor or not, but if you love the craziness and early bird shopping, I’d keep my eyes open for an upcoming announcement. So glad I don’t work there anymore-I could not do a midnight shift!!

Shoppes At Arbor Lakes
After being sidelined for two days with a migraine, I decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. A trip to one of my favorite shopping destinations was on the agenda!
The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove is such a wonderful shopping environment. It’s outdoors and reminds me of living on the East Coast. Great shopping, wonderful restaurants, and piped in music-what more does a girl need?
Breezy Blouse from Old Navy, Rock and Republic jeggings, Staccato boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag and kitty! (She would love to go shopping)
Rebecca Minkoff Morning After bag-roomy with lots of pockets
Michael Kors watch-I need a big face or else bifocals!
I get so many compliments on these boots from Staccato. Sad day when they closed…
My first stop was Goodthings. I love this store-such a fun environment and the staff is super friendly. It’s a great place to buy gifts or something fun for yourself.
Aren’t these wall hangings amazing!! Hurry though-they go fast!
Next I was off to Bluebird Boutique. They also have a location on 50th and France. They had just gotten in a shipment of Elizabeth and James sweaters. It was hard to walk away, but they will be offering 20% off the store Thursday. May have to go back…
Hot Mama was next. I love this company and love that they are Minnesota based. Wendy and her staff are so friendly and knowledgable. The fall product is amazing. Their new store opens at the end of October in the old Sharper Image location. It will be twice the size. You know what that means-more yummy merchandise!
I hit the jackpot at Anthropologie! Remember the J Brand Love Story flares I featured last week? I got them on sale for over $100 off the original price. Courtney, the store manager, told me they are offering an extra 25% off all clearance through October 10th. Don’t miss out!
My last stop was Ulta to stock up on a few things. I love Ulta because they have everything. High end and drugstore cosmetics, the best hair care selection in town and so much more. It’s a one stop shop for beauty!
The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes is holding a Girl’s Night Out Thursday. Proceeds benefit Hope Chest for Breast Cancer. Shopping for a cause-I love it!
