As a young, single woman, I enjoyed browsing the sale racks at Macy’s and trying on shoes at Steve Madden. These days, it’s a rarity if I get an hour or two of uninterrupted time to myself, let alone some time to shop. Since my shopping ventures are almost always focused on my kids, my wardrobe is somewhat outdated. When I perused my closet for a dress that would be suitable for the red carpet premiere of War Horse in New York City, I knew it was time to do some shopping.
I headed out on Black Friday to The Shops at Mission Viejo and actually scored some amazing deals! Along with picking up a gorgeous red carpet-worthy dress, I also managed to find a winter coat and a pair of short boots. Check out my shopping haul!
The holidays are in full swing at Simon Malls across the country. Santa has made his descent from the North Pole and is available for photos through Christmas Eve. On certain dates, you can even bring your pet in! Additionally, the Simon Kidgits Club is hosting holiday themed events in locations across the country which will include free holiday crafts, activities, and treats, giveaways, and the opportunity to write a letter to Santa as well as to our country’s troops and veterans through the American Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes program. Through December 11th, Simon Malls will also offer specially designed holiday cards which will be available at Guest Services counters. When you write your message. the mall will handle mailing the cards out. And if you’re not sure what to give your loved one, why not gift an American Express Simon Candy Cane Gift Card? Through the American Red Cross Holiday Giving Campaign, one dollar from each purchase will go to support the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross from disaster relief in the US and disaster preparedness/disease prevention around the world.
