Tis the season for holiday shopping! Nothing is better than shopping malls during Christmas season, and this is coming from a pure-bred Jewgirl. There is something quite magical about walking into your favorite store and being surrounding my cheesy music and twinkling lights. Last Sunday, some of the Her Campus girlies took a break from freaking out over finals and stepped into heaven for a bit. (Really though, The Natick Mall is like heaven.) Madewell, one of my absolute favorite stores hosted us to an afternoon of treats; we were pampered by a hair-braider, stuffed our faces (or at least I did) with delicious cupcakes and got to hang out with the super awesome Madewell staff! Though our party was small in size, it definitely was not lacking in spirit – who can be upset with sales and discounts as far as the eye can see (in the store obviously)?! Between frantically skipping from rack to rack, I managed to snap a few shots of the absolute cuteness permeating throughout the shop. I left the store with a huge smile on my face having purchased the kind of perfect Camden Bag, Heartstripe Sweater, and this incredibly comfy Sweatshirt Dress! If you were one of those who did not abandon your priorities and stayed on campus this Sunday, there are still AMAZING deals online, so happy shopping and happy holidays!
