What are we doing today?

Filed Under Eat and Drink 

Well…starting the weekend at lunch, of course. Grab a friend and eat somewhere fun. If the weather’s nice, get to the Gourmet Shop by 11:30 so you can snag a table outside. If it’s gloomy - and it’s supposed to be, although the weather report is no guarantee! - get there by 11:45 to get an inside table. By noon, you’ll have missed your chance. If 11:30 is too early for lunch, have a cup of their amazing coffee to start. It’s Parents’ Weekend at USC, so you might need to get there at 11 am. The Shop Tart will be having the seasonal green salad with a side of smoked salmon. She can already taste their delicious vinaigrette…

Speaking of Parents’ Weekend, did you pick up your Devine Street Discount Brochure yet? If you did, do a little shopping after lunch. M Boutique just got a huge shipment of Fall and Winter merchandise - with the Doors of Devine coupon, you’ll get 20% off your entire purchase at M, all weekend long! If you go early today, you’ll get your pick of the new merchandise.

Today is huge at Pout! They’re officially introducing their newest line, Stila. The Shop Tart* wrote an article for October’s Jolie Magazine about how to achieve a gorgeous and glamorous Smoky Eye. Of course you should read and save the article. In fact, you may want to cut it out and tape it to the inside of your bathroom mirror as a reference. Ahem. Or you could just pick up the Stila Smoky Eye Palette at Pout. It comes with audio instructions. How cute is that? It’s not quite the same as having the Shop Tart there to talk you through it and hold your hand, but it’s pretty nifty! The kit comes in three different color palettes - original, emeralds and bronzes. And, if you picked up your coupon book, you can save 10% off one item at Pout!

If you’ve dragged your boyfriend, husband or non-specific male companion along on your Friday jaunt, take him to Weathers. Bill Jordan, Southeastern representative for Nat Nast, will be in the store from 10 am until 6 pm showing the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 collections.

Do some more shopping (there’s plenty to be done!) and head to Simply Savory at 4:30 for a free wine tasting. While you’re there, use your 15% off coupon to buy a bunch of snacks for tailgating tomorrow. Go Cocks!

As for dinner this evening, remember that it’s Parents’ Weekend, so make a reservation or get to your favorite restaurant early. Or pick up dinner and a bottle of wine (or two!) at DiPrato’s and relax at home.

Have a great weekend - and don’t forget about the All Local Farmers’ Market tomorrow in the parking lot of Rosewood Market. If you haven’t been yet, you really, really need to. Everyone who’s anyone goes - it’s the trés chic way to be green! The Shop Tart and her family never miss it. You might even catch them there tomorrow. They’ll be the ones with three little boys in soccer uniforms. Fun times!

Happy shopping and don’t forget to tell them you read it on the Shop Tart!
