Farmers Market





Every once in awhile I try to make it out to the farmers market after my workouts on Saturday mornings. There's one close to my house and I can easily just make a quick stop. This week I changed it up and tried a farmers market that's known for good deals and gorgeous produce...Caninos Farmers Market. I brought $20 and my grocery bags and headed out. This is not the best pic of me. Fresh from my workout with no make-up, my squinty eyes and flashing a cheesy grin :D

The market is divided into 2 sections. The front is somewhat indoors with cashiers that take credit cards. You can also buy goods like tortillas, pickles, salad dressings, etc...



The back section is outside and has individual vendors. Each vendor displays their produce and for dollar or two you can take a basket of this or that.
Everything is done in cash and you pay the vendor directly.




In the end I spent $12. Some items got spilt between me and my girlfriends. All in all, I thought it was a pretty good experience and I would definetly shop there again.



Here's to a happy and healthy day!

Hallelujah, The Shopping Ban Has Been Lifted!

...and this hat was a must have this winter season! Actually I didn't buy it. My mom got it for me. I was helping my mom out at the house and running errands with her when I stumbled across this cute hat. Whenever I'm out shopping with my mom and I see something I like, she always wants to buy it for me. Most of the time I tell her no, but sometimes it's nice to have your mommy buy you things. Thanks mom!!!


Now on to the shopping deal of the year for me. A couple of weeks ago Oprah had Christian Siriano on her show. He was promoting his new affordable shoe line at Payless. At the end of the show, they announced there was a coupon for 50% off everything in the store for the next 2 days. Of course I had to take advantage of this opportunity. My friend, Melissa, and I hit a Payless at our lunch hour and even though the Payless we went to didn't carry Christian's line, I managed to find other shoes that were just as fab. Here is a (horrid) pic of myself under the a shopping dizzy spell. In the end I bought 7 pairs or shoes, 2 pairs of tights, and a hat all for $90!

So... here's my loot up close and personal...

The Low Boots



Black Heels




Fierce Prints!

Actually the leopard print heels were bought at Sears (yes, Sears! For $19.99). I was buying power tools for Will's birthday and just happened to look at their shoes...


The Flats

Summer Shoes

and last but not least...

The Other Hat

Okay, the shopping fun for myself is over. I need to concentrate on the holidays now. I hope you all had a great weekend!
