My bestest shopping partner ev-ah has always been my mom. We started regular shopping excursions to Fairview Park Mall when I was in my early teens. Many a Saturday was spent browsing through stores, trying on clothes, having lunch at Cultures, and talking non-stop the entire time. Well, life happens, and our shopping trips are not so frequent anymore. But today our schedules meshed and we did a tour out to Conestogo Mall. And since the Mall renovation was completed in the fall, it really is an enjoyable place to shop…not quite as super-cool as Sherway Gardens, but just fine for only having to drive 10 minutes to get to it.
As per our refined and defined style, we did a lap of the mall first (and chatted). Mom bought a picture frame, then we stopped for lunch at the new Food Court. Thumbs up to the bright and airy decor and the healthy food options available. We both chose the chicken pita wrap from the Greek Olive (?) and proceeded to eat (and talk) through our lunch break:
good thing we got the pic before eating - we are pretty sloppy wrap eaters! 🙂
Seeing all the spring colours is so refreshing! We made note of the colours being featured (lots of brights) and styles (80’s are back in full force). Also, ruffles are huge (so very Sandra Pittana):
very nice!
Wanting to mug for the camera, I grabbed these sunglasses and plunked them on:
so glam!
…but the funny thing is, upon further consideration, mom and I totally and genuinely loved how these looked! So I ended up getting them! (thanks, mom, for the treat!). So very J Lo!
While we didn’t purchase much today (did we seriously leave with just the photo frame and sunglasses?!), it was an A+ mother-daughter bonding time. We gotta do this more often!
