Hola Fashionistas.
I’m super excited to share, that I partnered with Twin Cities Premium Outlets, for a wonderful cause I hold dear to my heart.
With the help of Susan G. Komen – Twin Cities, they selected two breast cancer survivors as winners for a $500 shopping spree.
They chose one for the Twin Cities Premium Outlets and another for their Albertville Premium Outlets.
I had the honor of accompanying Candy Witte to the Twin Cities Premium Outlets.
Nominated by her daughter Tammy.
As told to us by Tammy, Candy is an 11 year breast cancer survivor, she was diagnosed with HER2 breast cancer and went through a very aggressive treatment for an entire year. During that time, she continued to work full-time and walked the whole 5K at the Race for the Cure. Since then, she has been a huge advocate for helping others, through fundraising, with her team Candy Kisses. Which has been a top fundraiser on the Pink Honor Roll.
Way to go Candy. Let the shopping begin.
Our first stop was Nike.
They had a special surprise for Candy and her very own fitting room.
The Nike team had already picked out an outfit for Candy and helped her find a pair of Nike sandals.
Candy was overjoyed and pleased with the fit of her new outfit.
Candy was on a mission, she knew exactly what she wanted and picked out some great items.
Both her daughters, Tammy and Holly were there to help her shop. Holly was hiding from the camera, but I’ll find her.
I found Holly, she was taking advantage of the great sales at Vera Bradley.
Candy found some cute items at the Vera Bradley store.
I did too. I now have a laptop case and it was on super sale.
When Candy found this toucan top at Ann Taylor, she immediately knew she had to have it.
Can you tell she loved it?
Comfortable sandals from Famous Footwear.
A very special thank you to Sara Holmgren, Assistant Director of Marketing & Business Development, for Twin Cities Premium Outlets. Sara was so helpful, keeping track of the spending and directing us to all the stores Candy wanted to shop at. Thank you Sara, you rocked!
Next stop Eddie Bauer.
I love this picture.
Candy totally enjoyed the Beef Jerky Outlet and insisted on treating us to some jerky.
We are not one to argue. They were yummy!
Last stop Chico’s.
Sales lady congratulating Candy.
With the sales going on, Candy got some great deals.
Here she picks some jewelry for herself and her daughters.
Holly and I taking a break.
Candy chose this necklace to style with one of the outfits she picked out.
Chico’s was our last stop.
All great things, must come to an end.
Here’s Candy at the end of her shopping day.
We would love to thank Simon Premium Outlets for having sponsored this fabulous shopping spree. To see the joy on Candy’s face, celebrating this special day, was heart-warming. She enjoyed every single minute of it.
We would also like to thank all the store team members. They were wonderful and so helpful.
Candy, I hope you enjoyed your day. May you wear all your fabulous outfits in great health.
Blessings,
