Shopping Spree!!
No, I didn’t have one. I window shopped at a verrrry lovely mall this weekend though, when I (and my family!) drove up to Portland this weekend for the Rose City Romance Writers luncheon. I got to meet all sorts of lovely people including Jane Porter, Lucy Monroe, Courtney Milan and Delilah Marvelle. And I will have more on that when I get all my pics together…hehehe…so you have to wait until then!
But I wrote this really fun shopping scene in my WIP that takes place at an upscale department store in Paris, and I couldn’t resist taking some fun pics of the mall I was at and imagining myself in my heroine’s fabulous designer shoes.
The necklaces are Swarovski Crystals and the one that looks a little like a flower has a black pearl hidden in the center, which I thought would be a perfect piece of unique jewelry for a Presents heroine. And of course, boots with zipper detail, which I know my heroine would choose, but my sheikh hero would fine a bit silly. (she would buy them anyway, woman of independent means that she is. Well…independent of the hero anyway)

Yummy! Isn’t it great when window shopping counts as research?
Wow.
I want to go shopping…
Yeah, Sally, sure is…although just because my heroine WOULD buy the cute zipper boots I didn’t think it meant *I* could get away with buying them…dratz.
Lacey, I know. I had so much fun. I am a country girl so a little time in the city (which is a small city for those of you used to London or Melbourne) was a big deal for me. 🙂
Niceness. I now feel like taking Great Uncle Visa out for a walk. 😉
Go for it! You deserve it! The shopping…not the debt that it will bring you.
