I get an email from Groupon....
"Don't forget to use your Groupons!"
Happily I checked soon to expire groupons and realized that I had one that I forgot about. It was to a cute little store in downtown Anchorage called Mable McKinnley. The sweet hubs and I added this in to our 'errands' which consisted of tanning, beer store and dinner...in that order.
As we pulled up, I thought they would be closed...5pm on a Saturday. But luckily, they were open for another hour! Success! We climbed the stairs to this somewhat hidden gem....and the first thing I noticed was the smell...they have some delicious candles in addition to my all-time favorite - Volcano, which I had only ever gotten before from Anthropologie. While the store may be small, it is packed full of goodies.... vintage style dresses, sweet mary-jane shoes, and owl earrings - Oh My!
As I flipped through the racks and kept adding dress upon dress, I secretly hoped that they wouldn't look awesome....even though I have this groupon and I KNOW I'm buying something tonight...I really don't need any more dresses....in fact, I'm on a mini-crusade to get rid of a bunch of my current clothes (I've been reading a minimalist blog lately).
After trying on a couple of things, and deciding that these AMAZING insulated leggins were the way to go...I make my way to the check-out....and a cute little grey/birch scarf catches my eye. Aghh! As soon as I see it, I know I'm getting it.... So...with three items in bag, a hop in my step and an excited husband (as I agreed to go to one more beer store before heading home)....we depart Mable McKinnley and look forward to returning to this hidden Anchorage gem.
