  • Notes From The Mall: Fall Sketches

    August 27th, 2007 by markdownmom

    Looking for some hot, inexpensive bling? Try back at the checkout where you will find some real markdowns.  MDM found $14.50 necklaces for 27¢, and a leather belt for 47¢ at Old Navy!  Makes one scratch their head on how they arrived at these markdown prices.  Many summer togs that you can wear into Fall are at 50% off and there is a special selection of apparel at 75% off.  Great look coming this Fall is the long tunic/dress w/ long sleeves and turtleneck, worn alone or with tights or leggings.  Online savings as well– It’s worth shopping for some back to school bargains here.

    This year color Fall at MOA with black, berry, teal, grey, plus the ever popular animal prints. The trapeze dress is still popular and the hot word going into Fall is "layering, layering, layering!"  Also, the preppy look, the military look, and supersized handbags are getting a lot of play.

    MDM was real excited about the jewelry store For Love 21 where you can find hot and trendy inexpensive accessories including trendy jewelry and handbags.  Clearance items are located on back wall next to checkout, but you’ll probably get excited about the regular inventory since these prices are extremely low for the look. 

    Nordstrom’s Rack is looking a little thin on markdowns, but they are taking inventory this week and plan on having a Plenty Under Twenty Sale starting August 30th.

    MDM stopped by the Twin City Grill for a late supper on Saturday night.  The service was quite good, but unless you have reservations, expect a 15 minutes wait–which wasn’t bad considering it was a Saturday evening.  Known for it steaks, MDM ordered their French Dip which comes with vinegar and salt french fries.  The food was tasty, however, MDM would like to make a recommendation that would improve this dish and that is to serve it on artisan bread with a hard crust–it would hold up better with the au jus.  For an added sparkle to seating arrangements, select the booths with the mirrored backing and rich wood tones for a vintage Hollywood feeling.
     

    *Editorial:  MOA has made some progress on accessibility by installing automatic door openers.  However, the only problem is that the size of the door that now opens with an automatic button is regular size and requires some maneuvering for passage through by a wheelchair.
