Shopping on Saturday with a Dominatrix...

Patrick showed up Saturday morning bright & early in his jaguar to pick me up. God that thing is awesome to ride in ;-)

Our first stop was Rodeo Drive, and he had it all planned out! Christian Dior was the first stop, and there he asked the sales assistant to bring me his top 5 list. On it were a pair of sunglasses, a pair of shoes, a dior gaucho purse, a watch, and a pair of jeans. Apparantly it's their top 5 best sellers. Of course, nothing had a price tag. I have to say, I like getting spoiled, and I like nice things, but I'm not a "designer" buff, or fanatic. I do tend to like unusal things, and I certainly have a good sense of style. Being from Europe, I like to get "dressed up" to go out to eat -- most american's think it's perfectly alright to show up at the restaurant in their beach clothes, or work clothes... that's just not done in Europe. Also, for some reason if you put a bunch of jewelry in front of me, I can usually be guaranteed to pick out the most expensive piece as the one I like.... However, This was pretty over the top even for me!

I did love the bag though - brown calf leather (of course) and so soft. While there I did get the run down. It's apparantly a much coveted purse by the celebrities - someone called Jessica Alba? has one in white.. later that evening when Lisa saw it, she almost freaked. SHE IS A TOTAL DESIGNER GIRL! SPENDS ALL OF HER MONEY ON REALLY GOOD KNOCK OFFS! LOL. Anyway, she informed me that this purse is at least $1995.00! I almost fell off the bed. Way too much for a purse. I liked it cause it's like a saddle bag, with cool antique looking trim and features. Now I wish I didn't know the price. I'll be obsessing over losing it! LMAO!

Anyway, our next stop (yes...) was Two Rodeo, and Tiffany, then Cartier, then Charles Jourdan, then Valentino, and Jose Eber. There was absolutely nothing that I wanted from any of these stores! LOL. But god the layout & design in them were awesome. It was enough to walk around, and take it all in.

I did love Hammacher Schlemmer -- really unique, and I found a pair of The Ulu Akna Mukluks.... they are absolutely adorable! I got them in white fur! I also loved David Orgell -- they were originally from England, and set up their first store right here at Rodeo Drive. They used to make their stuff especially for the Royal Family. They had the cutest baby shoe charms ($900 for the lowest priced charm) that I've ever seen. If you wanted one with diamonds, it was a cool $3600.00! But God, it was absolutely gorgeous! They were by Aaron Basha. This stuff was SO unique!

We also went to Dolce & Gabbana, where I fell in love with a lilac corset studded with crystals -- similar to the one that Madonna apparently wore at the music awards in February?? Who knew! We did go a little nuts in here. Patrick bought me 3/4 length jeans with ties up the side, a white lace up midriff blouse, a yellow sundress and of course the lilac corset!

Of course we couldn't get into Bijan without an appointment, but I'm not much in the market for a $100,000 suit anyways!

We took a trolley ride around the area, and then Patrick hailed a cab to take us to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel for afternoon tea!! Of course, I was his pretty woman! Tea was wonderful. Even better than tea at the St Francis in San Fran, or tea at the Ritz Carlton at Tysons Corner, VA!!

We got back to the hotel around 4ish, because I had dinner plans with Lisa again at 6pm. While I got ready to go out, I told Patrick that he would be staying to put away all my packages, and he could then relax and watch tv or have a drink at the bar until we got back. I told him I wanted to take his jag to dinner, instead of the rental car that we had, and he quickly, with no questions asked, handed me the keys!!! Driving to dinner was amazing in that car. It's practically brand new, with only 18,990 miles on it!

I'll post more about our evening a little later! Remember, you can leave comments by clicking on the button!
