Holiday Shopping

This post's title is not to be misleading. When I say "holiday shopping," I don't mean shopping for christmas presents. I mostly mean, shopping (for me) around the holiday season...yesterday was a rough day on the bank account.

We ventured the 10 miles out of Minneapolis (yes, that's where the show is right now) to Bloomington, MN (not to be confused with Bloomington, IN, very different) to the Mall of America, the largest shopping mall in the US. AKA, heaven. It's so big, there's an amusement park inside and an aquarium in the basement. But seriously, who has time for those things when there are SO many stores?? We surely didn't.

The day started off with fantastic finds at both Urban Outfitters and H&M. I love winter and I LOVE winter clothes, so this day had danger written all over it. Continue to Express and it was all downhill from there. I did manage to pick up a few christmas gifts for family and found an adorable, portable (yes, you're reading this correctly) cookie maker. That's right, regardless of where this crazy career takes me for the holidays, christmas cookies can and will be made. Macy's is brilliant.

Needless to say, we shopped for 5 hours...'twas a good day.

Today brings a gown morning, then a rehearsal for our benefit concert on Monday. Check out the pic below for more details. (I know I've already posted this, but I'm posting again for good measure.)
