I didn’t even tell you with words since I did a Silent Saturday post this weekend – but I went out to LA for my friend Lisa’s birthday this weekend and had a blast!
We rented a limo and drank champagne all fancy like…
… enjoyed scotch and vodka outta glass containers that are hard to hold / pass in a moving vehicle so I was covered in scotch after the first round… #KeepItClassy
First stop was Malibu Wines.
We drank wine and brought snacks to enjoy while hanging out. Someone brought these mango flowers from Thailand. How pretty, right?!
Second stop was Lolas…
We met up with the rest of the group at this point… it’s been too long since I’ve hung out with my people!
Then, we went back to my other friend’s house to get ready to go out.
I wore a polka dot dress that got a ton of comments. I don’t know if it’s because we were in the WeHo hipster scene or everyone was drunk or what, but there was a lot of “We have to talk about the polka dots…” conversations.
And when I shared my Instagram pics a few of you asked about the dress too. Unfortunately, it’s old so I have no idea where I got it?!
And that’s where this new Sweet Relish site comes in – it’s like Pinterest for shopping. You can make lists of things you want / like – but the kicker is you can buy them straight from that site so it’s more efficient.
So, if I was smart and had this dress on my list it would be easy for me to direct you to exactly where I got it. But, at least I’ve learned my lesson for next time, right?
I just discovered Sweet Relish recently and so far just have lists for Running, Cooking, Bedroom and now Dresses!
I dig it because I can be a little impulsive with shopping, but making a list of everything I want helps me prioritize what I want most and only get that.
I added a few look alike polka dot dresses to my dress page, hopefully it’s close enough. 
Anyway, if this is your cuppa tea – check out Sweet Relish and follow my lists. The site just started November 2012 so your friends might not be on it yet, but you can invite friends after you sign up and follow each other’s relishes too.
Question: Do you do most of your home / clothes shopping online or in the store?

I have that dress i got it from modcloth like 2 years ago so idk if it would be there but its worth a shot!?
Thanks!
I’ll say it’s 50:50. And I miss my polka dot skirt skort – haven’t been able to find another polka dot dress, skirt etc that I like since.
hampagne and limo’s. ahhhh, i love that. I did that for my 18th bday(which seems way..wayyy too long ago now)
those cupcakes – love!
I love looking at clothes online, but rarely order it that way now. I’d much prefer to see it in person and see how it fits!
I like to try on clothes in the store, but for other stuff I’ll get it where it’s cheapest… Usually online!
Well…when I get the chance to buy clothes, it’s at the store so I can try it on and make sure it fits and looks good, although I am waiting on my first stitch fix!
You’re the second blogger this week that I read that has mentioned Sweet Relish. Must be a sign that I have to check it out. =)
Hm I’m going to have to check this site out. My shopping is about 50/50 online/store. Love your champagne and limo night. It’s been wayyyyy too long since I’ve had a fancy schmancy night like that!
I do most of my shopping in store. I like to see what the color actually looks like and how it fits. If its a brand that I normally buy and I find a good sale online I’ll buy it online.
Lots and lots of online shopping! Shopping in Madison is very limited.
Call me old fashioned but I prefer the store over the computer most of the time. I like to see things in person before I buy them.
I usually buy clothes at the store because I have to try things on. If I buy something online 99% it won’t fit right and I hate making online returns!
I’ll have to check out Sweet Relish!
Is it Target? My friend wore something like that years ago and we were all jealous of her inexpensive find!
I try to do most of my shopping online. But now this relish site is going to suck up my time!

Love the dress! I can’t wait to check out the site:)
I do most of my shopping in the store and very rarely buy online. I like to be able to try on before I buy!
I do half of my shopping for things that aren’t clothes online–love waiting for packages to arrive! I get nervous buying clothes online, though, unless it is something I have tried on and know will fit.
Aside from shopping at race expos – I do most of my shopping in the stores. But sadly (not according to my husband though) I haven’s shopped in a very long time and I desperately need to. I have more technical T-shirts than appropriate work clothes!
Oh boy. That Sweet Relish site could be dangerous for me. I do most of my clothes shopping in stores because I don’t trust sizes online, and I don’t want to deal with returns. Gradually I’m doing more and more online though. Too convenient.
this site looks great, I’m gonna have to check it out!
I online shop but I don’t think I have ever bought clothing online! I’m too worried about it not fitting and having to deal with shipping it back to return!
You look like you had so much fun! I need champagne, a limo, and your dress ASAP.
