Ready to peench


(In a serious French accent)
Bonjour, Brigitte and Matiiks, just popping in to see why you haven't…how you say, ah yes… purchased me yet?? I, Bustere, am ready to peench you slackers! I am sure my French counterpart, Maddiee is getting plenty of amour up in ze beeg apple–going to ze dog park…being walked…getting ze kisses… mon Dieu!

New clothes are peachy keen



One thing I've discovered Savannah lacks compared to NY is good shopping, especially Loehmanns. This is a HUGE void, as this store that was a major contributor to mine & Katie's wardrobe–yes singular wardrobe since we pretty much shared everything. Shopping options down here are either TJ Maxx/Marshalls or over-priced designer boutiques. There's no Forever 21…no H&M…no Urban Outfitters …definitely no Loehmanns.

How am I supposed to be myself if I no longer have access to the clothes which helped me express my personality??? The answer was Loehmanns online - http://www.smartbargains.com. I hopped online and spent what felt like way too much money–until I played our infamous "how much I would have spent" game. In this case, I would have spent $440 paying full price, but my actual total was $118! woo hoo! Doesn't seem like too much anymore, does it? Especially considering what I bought–Joie skinny pants, Industry capris and two designer dresses. To make it even more satisfying, the clothes arrived complete with those colorful, 0h-so-familiar Loehmann's tags to make me feel like I actually bought them at the store. The only thing missing was my shopping buddy :)

PS- smartbargains.com is actually cheaper than Loehmanns. I paid quite a bit less than what's shown on the Loehmann's tag.

How about them apples?? (and peaches)

They say you can't compare apples to oranges, but what about apples to peaches?

Welcome to Big Apple, Little Peach. This is the blog of Katie & Bridgit, two-peas-in-a-pod who recently parted ways. Katie staying in Manhattan with her handsome marine, Jimmy & her silky terrier, Maddie to continue conquering big city life; Bridgit venturing to Savannah, GA, with her super cute, motion graphics guru, Matt to try to plant big city life in an up & coming, Southern locale.

Who knows what will end up on this page in the future, but we can guarantee at least a mention of Tina Turner, SNL, antics of Maddie (Katie's dog) & Buster (Bridgit & Matt's soon to be pet lobster), drunken photographs, cooking experiments, cutest nephew contests & countdowns to visits to either the Big Apple or the Little Peach.

Enjoy!
