You know that high you get when you shop? No? Seriously? Ok, I must admit I’m a bit ridiculous when it comes to shopping. I can actually count it as my hobby! This isn’t always something to be proud of and to be honest I had vowed that I was done with shopping. I promised myself that I would only shop for actual necessities such as food, water and some hair products because Lord knows I most definitely need that Moroccan Oil in my tresses. Ok, I’m getting off topic. That’s what happens when I get home after working hard all day shopping.
Saks Off 5th outlet just opened its’ first location in LA at Beverly Connection. I was walking by there on N. La Cienega trying to grab a Coffee Bean. I looked to my right and there it was. A brand new store with fluorescent pink lights calling my name. I tried to walk away, I really did. I told myself I’ll walk through the store for only two whole minutes for a simple, quick glimpse.
Next thing I know, I’m pushing a cart full of items throughout the two level, 27,000 square foot designer outlet store. I departed four hours later with several bags in hand feeling really excited with my amazing designer purchases.
This is LA’s first Saks Off 5th and the interior is absolutely beautiful. High end designer sunglasses, watches, bags, men’s attire, shoes, dresses etc are neatly set up for your viewing throughout the store. What I liked about this location is that there wasn’t any clutter. I wasn’t getting frustrated as I have in certain other claustrophobic shopping environments. It was clean, organized and beautiful!
The official grand opening is this Thursday August 6th at 9:30am. If you get there at 8:30am you can take advantage of the first come first serve excitement: every ten minutes $50 gift cards will be given out and some lucky winner will also be awarded with a $500 shopping spree! All weekend long the party continues with a live dj spinning hot beats that you can shop along to, more contests and free giveaways! If you happen to be one of the first 100 shoppers to arrive each day from Thursday to Sunday you’ll also be given a chocolate bar! Yummy! But guess what? Your bar might hold that Willy Wonka style golden ticket with a $100 gift card!
Tonight, (Wednesday, August 5), from 5-9 PM, WHO WHAT WHERE will be at Saks hosting a preview party. With a party of course comes refreshments! How generous of you Saks!
I am nursing my hangover from my shopping high but hopefully I will make it back to Saks in the next few days to try and score that golden Willy Wonka ticket! The nice thing about this location is Soup Plantation is right next to it, so, girl if you get hungry from shopping all day, check out Soup Plantation https://playeatshop.com/?s=soup+plantation
I will leave you with a beautiful quote I read today by a very wise woman who most definitely knows what she is talking about. Whenever you feel bad about loving to shop and looking fresh, please remember this:
