Shopping Extravaganza 2.0

This weekend was the second annual Schaumburg shopping trip for myself and my best, good friend Leslie. This tradition started last year when Leslie was pregnant with little Owen and his room needed decorating. Friday night we met up at our awesome hotel, Hyatt Place, and hit the nearest TJ Max. Though it was kind of ghetto, we found some great buys and had a great time.

Saturday began with a wonderful and cheap breakfast at Ikea and then a marathon shopping day that would give even the most seasoned shopper sore feet. After Ikea, many outlet stores, lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and hours at the mall, we finally arrived back at our hotel around 9:30. Boy were we exhausted, but the night was not complete until the traditional reviewing of the purchases.

At the Woodfield Mall, taking a much needed rest of our feet.

The above 2 pics are of great finds from our favorite outlet Home Goods.

Since I am such a Starbucks addict, I LOVED the Cap-Pacino hat knitting kit.

Leslie fell in love with these wooden scissors, but unfortunately they were dull.


Last but certainly not least below is us with our wonderful treasures.

I like to call it the Haul of Fame Photo.

Can't wait till next year!!
