Great Expectations

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Hi there, shoppers! Although spring doesn’t officially begin until the 20th, doesn’t the magical season seem to have already arrived in many ways? Birds are chirping, spring apparel is everywhere, we’ve seen temps in the 60s, etc. Yet even more exciting is the fact that the best is yet to come, and I’m not only talking about warmer weather. Plans to add everything from new shops to new collections abound!

For starters, on Tuesday, March 23, J.Crew is to open a new store at Fair Oaks Mall! But that’s only the beginning of the excitement to come.

Have spring beauty on the brain? It’s March Madness time at The Medical Spa at Nova! The spa is offering a buy-one-package-get-a-second-package-at-half-price deal on laser hair removal all month long, and I’m told additional beauty deals will be rolled out in the coming days that are equally as enticing. On March 18, buy 25 units of Botox® or one syringe of Juvederm® and you’ll receive a free box of Latisse®. And, from March 22 to March 26, buy any Botox or dermal filler lip treatment and you’ll receive a free Skin Medica Lip Plumper System. Just note that these special offers cannot be combined with any other deals or special offers. Also, gift certificate usage is subject to the spa’s minimum purchase policy.

Know a young guy who is a huge fan of Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White?  Target announced earlier this week that the hero of the half-pipe is to design a new skateboarding shoe collection to be available in Target stores by August. As you may already know,Target currently carries Shaun White 4 Target clothing (for boys and young men) and his video game, Shaun White Snowboarding.

Engaged and fully wedding-focused? You do not, I repeat, you do not want to miss out on the wedding-related sample sale goodness that Gilt Groupe promises to bring to you this weekend!

Happy shopping!
