Snaps from Black Friday (in Atlanta!)

  Hey!

This post is long overdue! For Black Friday, my family spontaneously decided to go to ATLANTA, which is totally unheard of and ridiculous since I have the most unspontaneous family of all time. Thanks to my wonderfully cuckoo mother, though, we went! H&M first, followed by a massive mall, Sublime Donuts, Goodwill (no special sales or anything but seriously the best Goodwill in Georgia and Tennessee), and Nordstrom Rack (!!).
    Anyway, here are some quick snaps from that night/early morning!

 

1) H&M at Atlantic Station

2) & 3) Sublime Donuts! A new Atlanta tradition for us I guess. Banana something and Coffee something were delicious! :)

4) TOMS WEDGES were at the Goodwill! Told you this place was snazzy.

5) Nordstrom Rack!!

6) Deep discounts at said Rack 7) Some of my lovely H&M haul!

8) Cirque Du Soleil was in town... Not my cup of tea, but the tents were neat!

9) The total haul! (The bags says something; I didn't watermark them!)

 

    The lines at H&M were unreal! We waited about an hour and a half in line to get in (it's all in the experience, man!), then an hour and a half to get out! And don't forget about actually checking the products out... My brother got 2x much stuff as I did, and I got a lot. The people behind us clapped when we left. No joke.

      Unfortunately for this eager beaver, I won't be able to see 90% of what I got until Christmas! "Santa may have taken some of it..." says my mom when I ask where it disappeared to. Oh, mom.

 

    It was such a great time! My brother may have been the crankiest jerk of all time (what's new, though?), but my mom and I had a ball. I've gotta say, I really love Atlanta. I can't explain it; it's just like a breath of fresh air. It may have something to do with always having a great time when I go like what is arguably the best night of my entire life, but I think it's just a fantastic city.

 

   Oh, and to those outside of the U.S. -- Black Friday is the early morning after Thanksgiving, where there's a massive, massive rush to all the Christmas Sales. Seriously, massive. People have died. I'm not kidding.

 

  Have you gotten in on any holiday sales? What'd you score?

Battle of the Brands :: Frye, Dolce Vita, Vivenne Westwood VS Target

  Hello!

    Several days ago when I was at Tarjaay, I found some flats that looked nearly identical to ones I had drooled over in Nordstrom a few days before. I went online to see if they had more colors, and while I was there, I found more shoes that had doppelgangers in upper-scale department stores, and I was so excited, I had to share. So, without further ado, here are my top three favorite twinsies.

I totally adore Frye boots, just not the cashola it takes to get a pair. Check out Target's inexpensive version of one of the legendary brand's most popular shoes.

Didn't Target and DV do a collab a few years back? If they did, there's no wonder they picked up a few things from Dolchay-Vida. Here's their version of these.

 

Target cut down the price of these by an even hundred. I guess it was all in that third button.

    I hope you found the price difference as interesting as I did! I love finding cheaper versions of expensive products. Have you ever found anything for cheap that looked just like something going for a price much larger?
