Jun23_001_3I can't remember the last time I went on a shopping trip.

I needed some major retail therapy so I ventured to some new shops and found a few great freebies.

After a long, hard day of shopping, I decided to get comfortable and chill out. I found a great pair of shorts with a matching bikini top in my inventory. I'm not quite sure where they came from but I love them. I put on some Lassitude sandals I picked up for free at Shiny Things on an earlier visit, and a great pair of shades.

What do you think?

Definitely a must-visit for an upcoming After a Fashion excursion. Bella is a small boutique with lovely clothing, including a bikini collection. Buy something tagged with a pink ribbon and Bella will donate 20% to breast cancer research. Shop with a group of friends and get a group discount.
