Semi-Charmed Kind of Life

Dad and I went to Chicago today and shopped. He was a good sport. We stopped at all sorts of stores, but it was really my day, so it was mostly where I wanted to go. We stopped at Burberry, Gucci, H20 Plus, Max Mara, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few, and we also stopped at a ton of stores at the Water Tower shopping mall (or whatever it’s called).

My dad bought me a ton of stuff. I couldn’t believe he was being so liberal, I remember when I would have to beg him to buy me the littlest of things. So, it was a pleasant surprise to get what I wanted today, but I didn’t push it (nor was I a brat about it).

My favorite thing he purchased for me was a one hundred percent cashmere, black scarf from Burberry. It was so cold when we got down there and not a lot of places were open yet, but Burberry was, so it was our first stop. I thought it would be a wise investment and I wore it the entire day. (It’s so soft!)

I also got a really cute outfit from Bebe. I got a pink shirt with a ribbon around the midsection (it’s hard to describe, I’ll try to post pictures of it some other time). I also got a nice pair of black slacks that fit me perfectly, except that they need to be taylored because they’re too long.

I also got a belt from Max Mara and he paid for me to get my eyebrows waxed at a really nice place. So I’m feeling pretty good today.

I found a Sephora store and nearly died of pure joy! I bought myself some really good, light, concealer by Cargo. I resisted the urge to buy anything else. I also got some bath salts and lotion from H20 Plus.

Dad got some (three pairs!) shoes and some bath salt from L’Occitane.

It was a really good day. My dad and I have had some issues in the past and we haven’t always gotten along, but I’m glad that we are getting along better now. I’m not just saying that because he bought me a whole bunch of stuff today, either. I mean it. We hardly ever argue anymore, which is a great thing.

Anyhow, going to a party tomorrow night with an old friend from high school. I haven’t seen her since we graduated. It’s going to be pretty cool.
