Trip to Buffalo

I'm back from a weekend trip to Buffalo. So sorry for the lack of postings these past few days. Also went to Niagara Falls with the parents, but no shopping was done at the Falls, so we'll move on to Buffalo!

Stopped by Fashion Outlets Niagara and got some good stuff at the Banana Republic outlet. Prices are much cheaper there than in regular stores. Shirts were 35$ or under. Of course, the quality wasn't even close to the material and fabric in the regular stores, but you get what you pay for. The store was having 40% off everything in the store, so that was the only reason why I bothered looking and buying a couple of t-shirts, a dressy black top, and a white summer shirt.
Not much else to comment on since we didn't stay for long, but there was a Coach outlet for those interested. I didn't have time to check it out and also don't understand why people would buy Coach purses and wallets and such. I have yet to find the appeal. It seems like these handbags became famous overnight! Will do some background reading and investigate.

Next we went to the Walden Galleria mall in Buffalo. Went to Bath and Body Works and Forever 21 and picked up some sweet pea bath products (5$ for lotions and 5$ for creams) and clothes. I tried finding pictures of my clothes online, but I guess they're a few weeks or months old and they're not on the website anymore! That hurts.
Anyways, I got a short-sleeve green jacket with big buttons that ties around at the back, a white woven top, and a crazily printed tunic dress thingy. I suppose you could wear leggings with the tunic, but... I don't do leggings. Not a fan of the leggings. When I was in elementary school they were ok. But they make your legs look like blobs! BLOBS! And I'm not in elementary school anymore.

Anyways, Bath and Body works is having an antibacterial handsoap sale Aug 6 (5 for 15$) and you can get a free body lotion as well. It's very tempting to go back. I love that store!

As for Forever 21, I have decided I like the American stores better than the one at the Eaton Centre. The one I went to today was so well-kept and I could see all the clothes laid out properly on the hangers and items were grouped together, so it wasn't like you were at Winners and have to go through a rack to see everything. That just kills me when stores becomes Winners-like. I can't shop there. It's just too much stuff to go through and I don't have the patience. It's funny because I can go to the mall and walk around for 2 or 3 hours without buying anything, but I could never spend 2-3 hours in Winners and not go absolutely crazy. I think with malls or shopping districts, it's easier because there's the variety with going into different stores, taking a break between stores, looking at people going shopping, but it's so much harder when you go to one store with racks and racks of clothes to sort through and their garish lighting. Good lighting is a must.
