It’s yo birthday, so I know you want to ride out.
On Friday night, I went out with some girlfriends to celebrate Stephanie’s birthday! Stephanie met up at the apartment with Sarah and I. We all got ready together before meeting up with a couple other girls downtown.
And, before we headed out we had a photo shoot. Of course.
Sari (rockin’ her sailor colors):
Steph (classic and cool):
We Love playing dress up.
Happy Birthday, Steph! Hope you had a blast.
Oh Happy day.
So, The target in my town, Sunnyvale, closed in January of 2009. it was very upsetting. I remember very vividly, Sarah and I went for a regular shopping trip to our local target, and noticed that half the store was cleaned out! Just empty shelves everywhere, and people breaking down displays. So, we asked, and a girl said that it that day was the last day it was open, and that it was closing for remodel. Now, this target was a newer one, in my book. it had the Starbucks and whatever. It was also HUGE, 2 stories. the parking Garage did suck a fat one though. I was still bummed. We had to find the next closest Target. Mountain View. Sorry, folks, that location sucks. 1st complaint, no Starbucks. 2nd complaint, grocery section is like 4 aisles of nothing I ever buy. 3rd complaint, it’s just a weird layout. So, I made San Mateo Target my regular store. Even though its a bout 30 minutes from my house, it actually happens to be literally next door to my office, so it worked out. There were a few times when I would brave the Mountain View location.
Well, last night on my way home from work I got the target itch. I needed some spray bleach to clean the shower and some other items. But, I was already home when I decided I wanted to go. I thought about it and remembered that the Sunnyvale Target was to open in November 2009, so I got thought to get online and find an actual date.
BAM! the store opened on Sunday! Jeremy came along with me and we checked out my new favorite shopping location.
It’s so awesome! The flowers were created by local Sunnyvale Artists. So fun.
And the inside is great. The downstairs is all parking and the upstairs is the store. Way better than the old parking situation. This is super convenient. The store itself as a serious Grocery department. Complete with meats, baked goods, and produce!!! For serious. Jeremy and I were blown away. He even said the Starbucks licensed store inside was “legit” It’s very much like a real little Starbucks.
Ended up stocking up on groceries, because the prices are insane. My favorite cereal (which I couldn’t find at other Target locations, and costs $4+ a box at Safeway) was $2.04 a box! Awesome! I can eat Chocolate Chex whenever I damn well please from now on…
I’m so happy. My Target is back and better than ever. Sorry, San Mateo, but I’ll still visit.
Thank you, Forever 21.
These came in the mail today.
I had purchased Shoe A, from this post: http://www.krustal.com/2009/09/22/decisions-decisions/
I was so incredibly excited when I got them and wore to the city the following weekend for a longgggg night of dancing on and off of a party bus. Well, I ended up doing very little dancing, and had Jeremy almost literally holding me up toward the end of night. Those shoes were torture. Literally. I thought my feet were going to fall off. I pampered them for weeks after that night…
Needless to say, the shoes were listed to be sold on eBay the following Monday. And I should have sent a personal apology along with them to the person who purchased them.
Anyhow, back to these:
They deserve to be shown again. <333 I can do pumps. Although, these things are STACKED. They feel much taller than other heels I own, so I will surely be over 6 feet tall wearing them :/
I’m so pleased with forever 21 for making these, I really couldn’t justify spending the $100 dollars on the Steve Madden version, presently. But, $24? I can handle that!!!! Thank you Forever 21. I do Love you. Now, add XL to your size runs and jeans above 3o” waist, and I’ll never stray.
