This weekend, I went to Louisville to scout out neighborhoods for our upcoming move.

I also had the opportunity to check out the Gilt.com Designer Outlet at their preview party. They had some delicious small-bite appetizers. And an open bar. And great prices on name brand merchandise. I still don't know how I feel about drinking and shopping. It's either the best idea in the world, or the worst. Either way, I had a lot of fun.

Kentucky's own Woodford Reserve was there in full-force. Y'all know I couldn't pass up this photo op.

There were some really amazing bargains. I spotted half-price Nanette Lepore, Red Valentino, Jack Rogers, and a Free People dress that was straight out of Anthropologie. You couldn't turn around for all the people who were scooping up Cuisinart kitchen gadgets.

If you find yourself in Louisville over the next month, you should stop by the Gilt.com outlet. It's in the old Borders (the even older Hawley Cooke Booksellers) space near the St. Matthews Mall. (4600 Shelbyville Road if you prefer specifics.)

Thanks so much to Gilt.com for the invitation!
