sample crawl part 3

i can't believe i spent most the night dreaming of what i would buy at the sample sale late last week on VIP day. actually, dreaming would have been good cos then it would mean i was sleeping, but i only got 2 hours of sleep the night before :b we got there 30 minutes before opening and we were the first in line AGAIN :D DC was playing Bejewelled on his PDA-phone while i pressed my face against the window and planned my attack hahahaha...

somebody tried to bud in line but i gave him the evil eye and he backed off. then i thought, what the h3ll, he's a guy, he's not going to want the stuff i'm looking for. but then again, if he's here, he *might*. you never know these days...

opening time came and went and the lady responsible for opening finally showed up 15 minutes late. sheesh... she apologized and promptly let us in and we got to work ;)

after 2 hours, we emerged from the changing rooms and i bought a couple of spring tops for $12 each! from Nikita and Split. I also got a grey beach Lacoste bag, and a beautiful green flowing halter from Buffalo's Summer line.

immediately afterwards, we hot-footed it over the bridge to a mega shoe sample sale! as we pulled up to the parking lot, my heart started racing as i saw dozens of girls with huge bags of shoes walking out the door. i urged DC to park faster as i couldn't wait to jump out of the car! :D

as soon as he pulled the E-brake, i pulled a Dukes of Hazard and disappeared into the building, leaving DC in my wake. once i got inside, i was a little bit more than disappointed since i only found pigmy sizes left. where the h3ll are these shoes from?! oz? actually i found out that they only carry sizes 6 and 7 for ladies and 8 and 9 for men since they are only samples.

too bad, since i saw tons of killer Tsubo shoes going for a song! i headed over to the leather goods area and found a cool XOXO shoulder bag so i grabbed it and prepared to spend the next hour waiting in line to pay for it :b

nature started to call and i had to summon DC for relief duty. he finally got to my spot in line after walking a mile and i bolted for the ladies room. i returned and took my place back in line but that didn't last long. as the line progressed forward, i noticed a whole box of men's Tsubos and urged DC to take a lookie. he tried squeezing his size 11 feet into the shoes and exclaimed, "who are these shoes made for? pigmies?" hahahaha, "damn, i need both of these shoes for 1 foot!"

eventually i paid for the item and entered once more into the frey to look for any goods i might have missed. afterall, i did find a whole box of Tsubos for men. DC was scoping out the men's shoes and i noticed the type of people who were shopping around -- most of them were on the shorter side and surprisingly non-asian!

so we left and headed back to van with the intention of finding some food but we got sidetracked as DC wanted to head back to the sample sale we were at this morning :b what a girl! so we went BACK and DC picked up 3 pairs of nice board shorts from Split at $20 a pop. he still complained that they were too expensive -- WHAT A CHEAP A&&! they retail for over $70 each! :b

i couldn't help but pick up some more stuff -- 3 t-shirts for $5 and 3 tops for another $5! i also picked up a MOOKS sweatshirt from their Fall'06 line! SCORE! they weren't even supposed to have any Fall'06 stuff for sale!

we left and headed to another sample sale for MOTO jeans. all jeans were $20! so i picked up a jean skirt :D

we went to another sale that sold skateboarding street wear, carrying a lot of cool brands like Etnies, ThirtyTwo, etc. i wanted to pick up something here too but they were cash & carry and i was cashed out!

at almost 5pm, we had our lunch -- at Wendy's. no fret, i had a salad, so i was still good. haha my god, where did the time go? ;) time flies when you're shopping for bargains :b i think its because you're brain is preoccupied with all the loot that you're gonna get. teehee...

until part 4...
