I laughed so hard after reading : "I felt as if, for a moment, I was transported to Havana, except I wasn’t. I was just an average girl in the ugliest building in America."

and I love the custom Pokemon shirt! its so cuteeee!!!

Oh a good mall trip! I hope mall stay forever they are so much fun! That’s a huge mall amiga, and I’m so happy you had time for yourself to go shopping. I didn’t know you can design t-shirts at Uniqlo!

Your Aritzia finds are SO GOOD! This whole mall experience is such a throwback to my childhood. I loved taking this journey with you 😂

Like, why don’t I do this more often?????!!!

The mall! Aritzia! I own one pair of pants (ordered online, obv). Perhaps, I need to go shopping...in person. And the JOYS of the food court! Thank you for your in depth coverage.

I LOVE a water park, but have never been to an indoor waterpark. Concur: weird.

Also— indoor water parks: weird, hot, humid, Coxsackie.

Coxsackie. You win the Internet this week! 🤣 That is no laughing matter.

A solid food court is so UNDERRATED!!!! I shall give shopping in person a stamp of approval.

And that’s coming from a massive introvert homebody.

This place seems like overstimulation central but seems like you had a good time!! Love the Aritizia pick ups. Can't wait to see how you style them all season long. :)

Sure was!! The shopping park got crowded… But it never felt overwhelming (except when near those crazy motorized animal rider things) 😂

Haha omg your kids are so lucky to have the coolest, most fun parents. What a day! Also: I did not know that Uniqlo let you make tees?? I frickin love that place. And three hours of alone shopping time? Heavenly.

I’ve never bought anything from that store… But I know you have some greats from there! I was so happy with the experience!! The t-shirt experience was so cool— we did a premade Pokémon stamp… But you can literally do almost anything!!!

the striped shirt from aritzia is a *need*. it looks so cute tied around your waist too! i didn't think i would ever cave on the salomon sneaker trend but you are really influencing me! sounds like a perfect day xx

I didn’t want to love her. But, I did. And I got her in solid white & black as well 😂 I actually took time before the mall experience to scout the online market to have an idea of what I was looking for… & when I saw it in person, I was so excited!!

wow and you come prepared!!!

That mall kind of looks like a Royal Caribbean cruise floating on top of the lake lol! I live near the third largest mall in America so I’m gonna have to go in and try on a few things at Uniqlo and Aritzia myself.

Traci Landy's avatar

DEAD, you are SO RIGHT 😂😂😂 I have never shopped at Uniqlo in person— loved it!!! I need to hit up KP mall next 🤔

Might be influenced by the Amazon windbreaker for my Japan trip over spring break !!!

Traci Landy's avatar

Omg what a dream trip!!!! She’s very light and packable!! It has two sets of drawstrings, which could be annoying… But they don’t bother me! 🤣

Lol the thought of that place makes my brain melt (THE OVERSTIMULATION!!). You are so brave and my hero for surviving and being such a champ about it 😂. We are really trying to get my daughter over to Team Bday Experience from Team Party, but she hasn't budged....(Cue me procrastinating HARD as I swallow the idea of a crew for 7-8 year old girls in my house 🫠).

Also all hail the Salomon, they really are the best!!

It’s been years since I’ve shopped in a mall but recently spent a couple of hours in Opry Mills / Nashville. It was actually enjoyable (mid-week). I’m looking forward to another visit soon.

Dressing up for changing rooms is a thing. PS - when you do the cruise can I be invited? ;) x

Traci I’m cackling. My husband grew up in that town and as I write this, we are about to drive past American Dream en route to my in-laws 😂 I have yet to step foot inside but should you ever return for a day of avoiding the waterpark, I will definitely meet you for a shopping date!
