finding another outlet

my friends and i went to morongo casino yesterday...hahaha...i have a story about that one, but it's not bag related so i'll save it for potential mindless chit chat fodder when i see you next. anyways, the cabazon outlets are out there too so OF COURSE, going with other chicks meant an outlet shopping spree! whooppeeee!!!!!....before we head out to the casino and lose our pants that is.

like everybody else, i like looking for deals....but perhaps not like everybody else, i don't mind dropping some hard earned cash to get whatever i want when it's feasible. anyways, while we were finding parking, we passed by a few stores and i saw a BOTTEGA VENETA store there. OMG. i got so excited! i was crossing my fingers that i would find something that i liked since you know how hard i've been jocking this design house. come on now! i even wrote a letter to santa asking for one!

*sigh* but alas, outlet stores are outlet stores for a reason. they house a lot of wares that are perhaps "unpopular" or are items phased out from seasons ago. once in a while, i think you might get lucky and find a good deal (my friend found a gucci wallet for her fiance at a great price), but other times, they probably aren't items you would have chosen anyways.

the bv's i saw there were such the case. the bag i saw with the interciatto weaving looks like this picture down below but was an OOGLY shade of lavender and the flower design just bugs. but omg, the leather is oh so soft! bv is outrageously priced for a reason. :(

i did not walk away with a bottega veneta :( i did walk away with some comfy blue shoes for school in one of the other cabazon stores. ah, sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some....just like my gambling experience at morongo casino.

i can't wait to hear your stories. ps. i think sometimes stores like gap design things esp for outlets. You never see any of that stuff in the real gap. ever. not even years ago.

i agree. there's a gap store at every outlet center. they prob do design items just for the outlets so you "feel" like you're getting a deal when perhaps, that item was a cheaply made garment designed expressly for the outlets.

i got a thin gap cardigan at cabazon. :)
