My Lucky Day!

My mom and I are in Chicago today and tomorrow to meet up with my sister and her friend for a girls weekend (and belated birthday celebration for my sister who I don't get to see very often since she lives far away from me). Since we got here several hours before my sister, Mom and I decided to check out the grand opening of the Anthro that just moved over to the big store that used to house American Girl Place. How lucky is it that we happened to be here the same day it was opening?! If we'd been here last week we wouldn't have been able to see it.

The new store is amazing! And huge! Kim from Anthroholic posted some pictures of the beautiful interior -- check them out here.

Here I am in front of the sign (debuting my new Southward Stop dress!!):



Snapping an OOTD photo in one of the full length mirrors:


Several people in the store stopped me to ask how I liked the Berry-Stitched Boots and I told them how comfortable they've been for walking around a lot. Highly recommend!

All the sales people were so nice and handled the huge crowd of shoppers really well. They even put out some refreshments for us! Here's my mom getting a snack. ;-)



Here was my favorite part of the store -- the SHOE section, of course!



It was so fun to be able to check out this new store! My mom even got me a few things as a special treat. ;-) I'll take some pictures of them when I get home. We're having a wonderful trip so far and it's been so great to see my sister again. We had pizza at Giordano's tonight. Yum! It will be a very quick trip but we have a full day of fun sight-seeing planned for tomorrow and we're going to see The Lion King.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll post again when I get back home. :-)
