a post for b



well... seeing as it seems b is the only one who follows my blog (and gets real irritated that i never update it and its his homepage ;) i decided to make a post about a little of happenings in life.


first off here are some ugly things we are now selling for outerwear at a&f. obviously they will fly off the shelves when i put them out this week. maybe.
lizette modeling what is either a homeless persons tent, a native american afghan, or a work of art by a blind knitter.


margaux is about to streak through the store... and yes she is wearing a xsmall. dont get me started on a large.

yeah... so there is a taste of the day to day.

in other news b can you please come to utah soon? ok? ok. i'm obviously going crazy here.... look at the merch i deal with everyday. you dont even want to know about the customers ;)

lastly a story about a crazy lady that came into the fitch. i have loads of these and they probably will make my blog posts more lively and reader friendly.

on a weeknight during school, a lady around 35 came into our store probably about 8. this was of no stress to me because we close at nine on week nights and why on earth would anyone stay in our lil store over an hour right? wrong. first she asked me if we have a 360 degree mirror. umm sorry to break this to you but you are currently not shopping at saks fifth or a victim on what not to wear so no. "what about a hand held mirror" no. "well does this fit me ok" *stands back, i wait for her to turn... and no she just meant from the front... isn't that what regular mirrors tell you.

9:05 music shut off, doors locked lady still in dressing room "can you get me a tank in every shade of grey you sell" oh not that grey is one of our three core colors and that is half of the store.

9:09 "will you take the sensor off i cant tell how this fits" no. against policy. no. "i need this sensor off. i will come sit behind the cash wrap let you take it off me and walk me to a mirror before putting it back on" .......... wait... what????

9:13 "will you get me this exact shirt in the exact size so i can see if it hangs or fits differently" um i hate to break it to you but as a mass producing retail store... non of this crap is hand made and done on its own pattern... did i mention- mass produced not custom made boutique...

9:19 (at cash wrap) "this stuff doesnt make me look like i'm trying to hard to be young does it?" buying" button down plaid shirts, plain dark denim, dresses. wearing: a bedazzled graphic tee and true religions. you are worried about what you are buying?

note to consumers: if you have kept me past close this long, i will not try to talk you out of purchasing the items you spent over an hour selecting. just buy them. even if i hate them i will say they make you look like blair and sabrina mixed in with a little aphrodite and a pinch of extra sass. also... a&f sells a lot of grey. oh and in retail stores an identical shirt in two size mediums will fit identically. just to save you some time.

ha ha oh what a life.

Summer is almost over...

Well I can't believe it is August, where has this summer gone? Monday night I got back from my first trip to WA in months which was soooo amazing. Ali's wedding was the 31 (Friday) and it went really well. I'm soooooo happy for her and David they were so blissful and in love. I can't wait to go through the temple myself and receive the blessings inside. I will upload the pictures from everything hopefully later tonight or tomorrow. The next day B and I were able to spend some time with them as well as go to Pike place and such.... it was basically the best day of my life. It was good to get some stuff cleared up and we also had so much fun doing everything else. Needless to say jumping back to the real world tuesday morning bright and early was no walk in the park. I'm so ready to move there it is unreal. For sure I'm going to try to get some vacay days to head out there in sept so hopefully B will be able to come here sometime this month so we dont have to go as long without each other (HINT HINT ;)
Tomorrow will prob be nuts at a&f - next week is our peak week because of the back to school shopping season and so with tomorrow being saturday it will be one of the top five busiest days of the year. I am not excited about closing.
Emily and I decided that I'm the ideal person to plan her bachelorette party so I need ideas, if anyone has any great ones let me know. I may become a slumber party seller so I can throw her one of those... hmmmm.... :) we shall see....
well hopefully pics tonight if not soon....
