Destination Shopping

Little Salt Lake is putting itself on the retail map as of late, and while I am thrilled that we are becoming less obscure, it is kind of killing destination shopping for me.


When I travel somewhere, as a general rule, I like to stay away from shops and restaurants that we also have at home. It makes the experience of a new place much more rich. No McDonald's or American Eagle while I'm abroad.


Having said that, there are places that I will visit each time I am in the area. For example: I will eat at a Which Wich any and every time there is one available, or shop at The Container Store whenever I am near one.


Forever 21
In -n- Out
The Cheesecake Factory
H & M
Crate and Barrel
Tiffany's
etc.


All places that I really enjoyed elsewhere. I am happy to have them here, but I guess that means I will have to expand my destination shopping horizons....


And just because no one likes to read a blog with no pictures, here is a picture of a suit of armor at the MET. Completely irrelevant, but cool nonetheless.

I guess not

I thought I was one of a kind, but apparently I'm not.



This is not a mirror. It is another girl. She shared my long-dark-braided hair, exact same white coat, and even though you can't see it- skinny pants inside of boots, a rose gold watch AND red glitter nails. No joke.

It was slightly alarming and very entertaining.
