Last week I got the chance to check out the Tanger Outlets in Lancaster. When they asked me to come shop around and check out what they had to offer, I was pretty excited because I hadn’t been there since I was younger and was excited to see how it had changed. Since it’s the Holiday Season, everyone is looking for a deal. Brian and I drove out in the morning for an intense shopping marathon! When we got there it was pouring rain!! But luckily they had overhangs connecting all the stores so I could stay dry. So that made me VERY happy. Whenever I embark in a big shopping day, I make a plan. It helps me stay focused on what I need and not make as many impulse purchases. So, I checked the store directory before we left to see what stores I knew I had to stop at. The top of the list for me were J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Wilsons Leather, NineWest, and Coach. Scroll down to check out some of the things I spotted and a GIVEAWAY for your own shopping spree before the holidays!
Banana Republic had great sweaters and lots of fun hats and winter wear that would make
for some cute gifts for those people you don’t how what to get!
All in all I was impressed that I could find things in my sizes especially because I was shopping the weekend after Black Friday. I also popped my head into 2 kitchen stores there looking for some gifts for friends and family. It was the perfect day of retail therapy out in the suburbs.
For those of you that don’t follow me on twitter,
here are some of my photos from the day snapped on my iphone!
Now for the giveaway! I am giving away three $150 gift cards to three lucky readers to shop to their hearts content for themselves or friends and family for the holidays. See rules below for how to enter.

Shey - There is something so beautiful about you wearing your glasses, it shows that beauty does not have to be like the magazine covers that we see, where no model would be wearing their prescription glasses for the fear of looking a certain way. Anyways, I think that you are very beautiful and I love your glasses. =)
eat.sleep.wear. - THANK YOU!!!!! I know.. if I didn’t wear glasses or contacts… I would be blind!! Lol. Such a sweet comment. THank you again! xo, Kim
michelle - i love the way you put this outfit together! I have the same blazer from H&M and this gives me a new color match to try. recently, i wore it with teal and brown suede booties as seen in today’s blog. cheers!
