SHOPAHOLIC TAKES TO THE ROAD!

This morning I hit the road for a brick and mortar shopping trip..."HERE'S WHAT I WORE." The khaki skirt is from Target, the white tee is from Lord knows where, and the navy cardigan is the 'Jackie cardigan' from JCrew.

The accessories...My navy blue 'Revas' by Tory Burch looked cute with the navy blue monogrammed Bermuda Bag. I wore my pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings, along with my 'Oyster Perpetual' watch by Rolex, and and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My ponytail was adorned with a navy grosgrain ribbon and my fragrance for the day was 'Lauren' by Ralph Lauren.

I drove north on I-95 to Viera, Florida to have lunch and shop, shop, shop! Mimi's Cafe for lunch...haven't lunched there since my days in Palm Springs, California!

I chose the clam chowder soup to start...this is ONE of the reasons I eat carrots on most days and jog on others! It was creamy and decadent! Delish y'all:)

A little soup etiquette: The soup spoon is always placed on the right-hand side of the saucer...never left in the soup bowl.

I chose the crab cakes and mixed greens as my entree...very, very good y'all!

Since my days in Italy, {long story y'all} I have been totally addicted to espresso. It really is my hot caffeine drink of choice! I certainly needed the boost to keep me going during the afternoon shopaholic spree.

First stop...The Hobby Lobby! I stayed in this store for TWO HOURS y'all! I didn't want to miss a thing...ribbons, Easter decos, cardstock, plates, napkins, et cetera. Debit card meltdown. The Hobby Lobby is my favorite--I love them, but, Michael's Crafts doesn't hold a candle to this store!!! The Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays and I respect the owners for that...keeping the Sabbath holy.

Next stop, Cost Plus World Market. LOVE this store! Found a cute apron, some darlin' flatware, and some unique coasters. Y'all will see it all soon:)

Pit stop y'all!!! Chick-fil-A!!! Well, if you follow me on Twitter, you know that I gave up Diet Caffeine-Free Coke for Lent. But, I'm still good-to-go with the other Southern favorite--sweet tea. And...nobody does sweet tea better than Chick-fil-A! Worth the calories...yes ma'am!

On the way back home, I stopped at another long-time favorite...Ralph Lauren Polo! I bought a cute pearl bracelet..that's all! :)

The loot in the trunk...

So now it's almost midnight and I really should be asleep...I'm getting up at 5:00 a.m. for a mini-roadtrip to one of my favorite small towns in Florida--Mt. Dora. It's time for the annual Mt. Dora Spring Crafts Show. I'm soooo excited, 'cuz I love that little town and all the quaint shops! Off to bed I go.

Thank you for visiting with me!
