Once again I have neglected my blog for over a month!!! I love this blog so much, but sometimes life happens. To say that things have been cray this past month, would be an understatement. Since we last met, there have been really sad moments....but also really happy moments. :) That's life though. And, now it is spring. Although, you wouldn't know it with the snowstorm I drove through yesterday (for realz).
Now, where was I? Oh yes...it is spring. A time of renewal, flowers, cleaning....and spring shopping!!! YAY! I went to Omaha this past weekend with some of my best girlfriends, and did some damage....in a good/fancy way.
I have been looking forward to this shopping trip for a long time. It's just nice to get out of town, hang out with the girls, and relax. Life can get so stressful sometimes, we all need to decompress, renew.....and shop (Can I get an amen?!?).
Without further adieu, here is the Fancy Ginger's Spring Shopping Haul.
*********************************************************************************
Fancy Spring Shopping Haul
All of my fancy finds. :) Stores I went to: Lush (Very first time!!!), Trader Joe's (I needed my miso soup, coconut oil and oatmeal...I am an old woman), Anthropologie (a.k.a. Heaven), Gretna Outlets (Kate Spade, J. Crew), and H & M..........I was very successful.
Shirt- J.Crew Garment Dyed Tee (bright pink..so everyone will know that I am coming...from a billion miles away.)
Shorts- J.Crew Powdered Oxford City Fit, Inseam 5" (keeping it classy....may have to wait awhile to wear this pair...due to the snow...but one can always be hopeful.)
Shoes- J.Crew Gingham Espadrille Wedges in Navy/Ivory (I am so excited about these wedges, they are going to be so cute this spring/summer. They will look fancy with this outfit, but they also go with a lot of my wardrobe...I own A LOT of Navy.)
Bag- Kate Spade New York "Mindy" in Make a Splash (Seriously, I could just die..this is an amazing purse/bag. Those sunglasses are everything. Eek!!!)
This is me walking around Kate Spade, taking pictures with my potential future purse. Note- the serious expression is due to the fact that Kate Spade is serious business for this Fancy Ginger.
Shirt- H&M Basic Tee, Crop Top (The term crop top used to scare me, because it conjures up images of Britney Spears ca. 2000. Don't get me wrong, I love Britney.....but I am 30, and not in the mood to look like an extra in one of her early videos. However, this crop top does not show any skin...but is super cute paired with this skirt--since it is a bit high-waisted on me.)
Skirt- H&M Jean Skirt (I have not owned a jean skirt since my senior year of high school...in 2003. I am short of stature so this skirt lands right above my knees...but for a more average sized fancy person, it probably goes a couple of inches above the knees. Seriously, I purchase a crop top and a jean skirt in one trip....things that I have not worn since high school......is this a quarter life crisis?)
I usually purchase clothes at Anthropologie, but I was not in the mood to buy more clothes by the time we got to the store....and I was about to meet by budget quota (oops). But, I did find these fancy items. The kitchen towel has a mermaid on it!!!! How adorbs is that? I bought the book to help me do some research for my upcoming NYC trip in June. I have been to NYC several times, but I still don't feel like I have a grasp on the food scene. I am so excited to try out some of the places highlighted in the book.
Other Items bought.....that I don't have pictures for, because I got lazy....
I went to Lush......they actually have a store in Omaha. I am so excited. I have been wanting to go to Lush for sooooooo long. They advertise that they make "handmade cosmetics." I was eager to try this brand because I had heard so many amazing things about their bath products.
I will be honest though, stepping into the store was a wee bit overwhelming. There are so many scents in such a small space...it was hard to smell what I was purchasing. I had to trust the descriptions, and just go with scent combinations I knew I liked.
I purchased The Experimenter bath bomb, Humpty Dumpty Bath Bomb, Mask of Magna Minty (for face and body...it smells soooooo good), and Popcorn Lip Scrub (tastes sweet and salty...like buttered popcorn).
Once I use all of the products, I will be sure to give a review. :) I love bath time!!!

Well folks, there you have it. My spring shopping haul. I hope you enjoyed it. Hopefully it won't be another month until we meet again.
My 31st birthday is coming up....what should I do to celebrate?
In the meantime, be kind to one another and be fancy!!
