Let's go, Chicago

I was at Chicago for a work trip and everyone's been tweeting me about the shopping that I did at the outlets. Not surprising right - since it's indeed super awesome. I'm going to share some pictures I took there, and then we'll get to what I've bought :)

Here's the room where I stayed at - at Mariott Schaumburg. I've got a room all to myself, and that's super awesome.

Where I laze and watch Family Guy at.

This is Woodfield Mall - second largest mall in USA.

The outlet!

Finally caught sight of snow :)

Cheesecakes from Cheesecake Factory was AWESOME.

Gotta go to Walmart, right?

The total number of shopping bags all of us acquired. Hotel staff was shocked.

I like how the sunshine comes in and the shadow casts itself on the buildings

Bye, Chicago!

Okay, now I'll get to what you've been holding out for - the shopping!

At Woodfield, I popped into Victoria's Secret and bought this Sexy Little Things Noir gift set. I fell in love first with the vintage-style perfume. You know - that pump spray thingy? And then I fell in love with the scent. Then I thought - what the heck - I should just get the full set. And it only set me back by friggin' USD30!

I'm glad I didn't lose my mind when I was at the outlet. I have more self control than I thought. My purchases include...

This hot red (fave colour of the moment) envelope clutch from Michael Kors. I figured I could bring it to dinner parties and use it as an iPad cover too (it fits an iPad2 perfectly)

I also bought this nautical bag from Michael Kors. I was absolutely attracted.

And if you know me, you wouldn't believe that I would leave without snagging a Kate Spade bag. I had to! The discounts are just too good to pass!

Another of my fave brands, Juicy Couture, was also available at the outlet, and I got this blazer at a steal.

DKNY jeans too... And this fits so perfectly and is super comfy. It's already got itself a special place in my wardrobe. I foresee I'll wear it, A LOT.

And a new charm from Juicy Couture, which actually is a bit expensive, but I couldn't resist.

Which is your favourite out of all my buys? :)
