Tale Of Two Shoppers
So after work, Daniel and I wanted to get some shopping in. For some reason we felt it was just the right time to splurge . . . partly because pay day is tomorrow and no matter how much we spent tonight, the damage won't look as bad once that direct deposit kicks in from our paychecks.
Our trip took us to the famed 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. We first hit up Urban Outfitters to see if there was anything good. Other than a pair of $170 jeans, there was nothing, NOTHING. Well, except for a green gnome that caught Daniel's attention. You see, Daniel is Swedish and his people are fond of gnomes. Not only that, the gnome bares an eery resemblance to Daniel.
Our trip continued to the Kid Robot store. You see, many moons ago as I was making a hard left turn in my car, my plush toy that sat on my dash slid across and out of the open passenger window. I've yet to replace him so I figured Kid Robot would have something I'd want. Alas, nothing but Daniel was oogling over the toys behind the glass case. He is in dire need of decorating his desk at work but again, we both walked out of the store empty handed.
Our final stop took us to a shop Daniel told me about called Zara. A small boutique on 3rd street with modern hip men's and women's clothing. The most amazing thing were the prices. Items usually ranged from $40-70. Not bad at all. We couldn't walk out empty handed and I was due for some new jeans so I picked up a pair (which by the way made my ass look so damn good). Daniel didn't need any new denim because he has about 50 pairs and you better believe his ass looks hot in every one of them. No. . . what he wanted was a camo-hoodie jacket and they actually had one. It took some convincing but he eventually gave in and bought it. In fact he loved it so much, he decided to wear it out of the store.
So there you have it. A successful relaxing evening of shopping after work. We both did pretty well. Some new jeans and a new jacket. Tomorrow might be the day when we show off our new threads but you know how it is. This ain't high school and people always point out the kid that wears all his new clothes at once only to relegate the rest of the year to his "been there, seen that" wardrobe. But I digress, we had dinner after and the evening air was crisp and cool so Daniel had to celebrate by spinning out in his new gear. Check out this video.

I love Zara. I'm particularly addicted to buying coats from there, including one long swishy velvety trench coat that's goddamn adorable.
Hope Daniel had the security tags taken off of his jacket before wearing it out the store - getting arrested and strip-searched in a dingy backroom tends to put a dampener on a shopping spree.

be careful with Zara.
it's a worldwide over-popular label... very much like H&M.
the stuff is made "cheap", and common.
caution is advised.
