This girl has wished upon many a star.......

.......which is why my dreams are coming true!!!

Now this is just rumor, can't find anything for sure on the internet, but I have it on good authority that a Sephora is being built (for?) near me. Exactly 7.3 miles away (but who's counting). It's supposed to be going up inside Washington Square Mall, in the 'burbs, but in the 'burbs closest to my side of town, so I'm not complaining!!!

(Okay, I'll complain a little......why not downtown? Seriously??? Across from Saks? It would be perfect, and only 2 miles away from me and close to all I hold near and dear, like the 47 Starbucks and my favorite martini bar and the best sushi place? Seriously? The 'burbs? WTF!?!?! I mean, I could go there, get a good smoky eye going, then go out for a drinky!! But I can't drive out to BFE for a smoky eye, then back downtown for a drinky....what would be the point?)

I'm seriously heading over there today, supposedly to spend a gift card at Nordstrom, but um, really, I'm scouting out the Sephora location....looking for the black and white awning, peeking in windows, asking construction workers if they know when it will open, or heartbreak of heartbreaks, finding out it's not opening at all, and I've been made a fool.

Now if someone will only build a Starbucks in my kitchen (complete with my own hot, stubbled barista with those dreamy brown eyes!), buy me a hover-craft, and let spiral perms truly come back into style, I'll be in heaven!!

Wow, sounds cool... almost as cool as us having a 7-11 on each corner of our block.

MouseWife · 02-07-2005, 10:16 AM

I think I need to start making wishes instead of just making suggestions...

Congrats to you!

They are building a strip mall down at the end of our street. I hear it isn't supposed to be just .99 cent stores and taco stands. {although, admittedly, they do serve their purpose} I hear we are getting, now don't pout with jealousy, a Staples!!!

Be still my heart.

There are "luxury" apartments now being leased with a view of the Fry's Electronics store in Woodland Hills.

MouseWife · 02-07-2005, 10:32 AM

That sounds like it also comes with a view of heavy traffic leading into the Fry's parking lot...

dsnylndmom · 02-07-2005, 10:49 AM

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Claire I'm sooooo hoping your source is right!!! I have my shadow brushes crossed for you!!!

wendybeth · 02-07-2005, 11:24 AM

Hey, if they are going in there, that means that in about a decade we may have one!

(PS- I am not so excited at the prospect of Spiral perms coming back, though. Not my favorite thing to do....)

UvaGirl · 02-07-2005, 01:11 PM

Yay Claire! Happy scouting for your Sephora! Now, why won't they build one here...?!

Claire · 02-07-2005, 01:12 PM

Okay.....so the Sephora-to-be is currently a big hole in the ground next to Nordstrom.

I'm thinking it'll be about six months before it's got an awning up.

To make myself feel better, I bought a black Coach wristlet and a pink suede tote by Michael by Michael Kors. I love gift cards!

MickeyD · 02-07-2005, 01:53 PM

Oh Claire! I just got a little teary eyed, I'm so happy for you!
