In the Jungle

While many people use spring as a time for renewal and spring cleaning, I use it as an excuse to shop! Especially with the plethora of events that occur in the spring (prom, graduation, graduation parties, spring break,) I need new clothes!

On Saturday, I went shopping with my mom. We went to one of our favorite stores (Saks Off 5th,) and they were having a major sale (Buy 1 Get 2 Free Clearance!) Of course, I had to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. My mom picked up a few sweaters that I definitely need to borrow, and I bought Michael Kors and Equipment shirts, among others. We arrived to the mall late and had to leave before we could finish shopping. (We only browsed a corner of the store!) I have never actually seen the back of the store because I run out of time before getting there.

It was the perfect opportunity for me to break out my favorite pair of Dolce Vita booties that I had received as a Christmas present!

As the mall was closing, we needed something to do while waiting for our ride. (My dad and brother had taken the car to a hockey game.) We decided to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. I had been there quite a few times as a child, and I forgot how loud it was (even though it was fairly empty because of how late it was). They sat us next to the tigers, which occasionally roared, and the thunderstorms went off every 30 minutes. Regardless, it was nice to relive my childhood and eat somewhere with a little different environment than my usual! The stuffed animals were so adorable!

While eating at the restaurant, "In the Jungle" by the Beach Boys popped into my head. (Yes, I understand there is a difference between rain forests and jungles, but the song seemed appropriate.) This song provided a bit of inspiration for this post.

The following day, we finished up our shopping online! I was able to order the most adorable wedges and graduation dress. (These items, along with those bought in store on Saturday, will be featured in upcoming posts as soon as they arrive!)
