I've got the "Shopping Blues". Yes, I am this shallow.

So when I went to Vegas, I had all these big shopping plans, like it was gonna be a huge shopping spree or something for me. I had my wish list (I was gonna go CRAZY buying shoes and clothes and accessories!) and even though I had a few things here that I wanted to buy, I said to myself "Hey - you're going to Vegas, you can buy even better stuff there!" Plus, I figured, it was only gonna be a week, so if I didn't get EVERYTHING I wanted in Vegas, I could buy my wish list of stuff here when I got back...Not that I would need to. Y'know, Vegas shopping and all.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. We first went to the premium outlets. I ended up getting a shirt for my dad and a silk scarf for my mom. But nothing for me. It didn't help that it was so hot and that this was an outdoor mall! Yeah, they had "misters" spraying out fine mists of water to cool you down...but it was so hot that the mist dissipated before it even reached you! I found myself going into and out of stores just for their AC! Finally, I just gave up and thought...the mall. That's where I'll find something!

Unfortunately....that didn't pan out for me either. I did find some t-shirts for my nephew, but still nothing for me! Not even shoes! It was starting to get depressing. So then I thought...the Forum Shops. I always find something at the Forum Shops!

none of these are mine :(

So...we went to the Forum Shops. Finally, I was able to buy a Burberry make-up bag. Eh. It was okay. It was on sale, so that was good. But I wasn't satisfied...So I ended up buying a "bag charm" at Louis. I was quite happy about it. It was something... but... I didn't even have any new clothes or shoes to wear to work on my first day back! (Granted, I did buy a bunch of stuff before I left, but they were "Vegas Clothes"). So then I thought...when I get home, I will buy the stuff that I couldn't buy before we left! Yes!

Unfortunately, someone in my size went around buying ALL the stuff I thought I would buy when I got back! Great. 

So...now I will have to start a new wish list. Again. Sigh.
