Eye-4-Style

Shopping at Nordstrom on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, I was tired late afternoon. Going through the lively cosmetic area, a gal pulled me aside and asked to do a makeover.  I was tired but upon her insistence, I sat in a director’s chair while she gave me a “pick-me-up.” After a great face, neck and hand massage, she applied some makeup and spruced me up!  It was just what I needed to keep going!  Clarins has a nice product line.  I carry the hand cream in my purse and bought the neck cream that day.  It was a welcome break that afternoon and an opportunity to know more about the product.

I went to Chicago’s Gold Coast, Michigan Avenue,  on Saturday, November 21st, for a day of taking in big-city energy, shopping, seeing the sites and people-watching.  Unbeknownst to us, it was Christmas parade and tree lights day.  By 4:00 pm, you could not walk on the sidewalks of Michigan Avenue!  We’d been in Nordstrom for several hours and wanted to stop by Ann Taylor.  We maneuvered out the back of Nordstrom and side streets to Ann Taylor.  I was able to relax in a big arm chair and watch the parade while my friend was in the fitting rooms.  She ended up buying several nice pieces she’ll use this holiday season. The salespeople were very knowledgeable and so cheerful!  One of the salespeople, a young man, had a great sense of humor and really knew his business! Good going Ann Taylor ! Things were hopping and holiday party-dressing needs accomplished!  We finished shopping as the parade was over and the parade crowd dispersed. The street was glowing with lights and smiling faces.  Here are a few pictures from my phone of the “after parade” party.
