Ok, I’ll admit it. I am a bit of a shopaholic. I love labels. But the truth of the matter is I can’t always afford the labels I love. That is why I LOVE outlets. Not just any outlet though. I’ve been to my fair share of mediocre outlets. I have to say, out of all I’ve been to so far nothing compares to “Carlsbad Premium Outlets” located in no other than Carlsbad, CA. It’s just north of Oceanside.  I live in Belmont Shore so it does feel like I have to drive all the way to Mexico to get there but it is worth the day trip. The outlets there include BCBG (my fav!), Barney’s, Coach, Dooney & Bourke and Lancôme. It is seriously a shopper’s heaven. When you are ready to take a short day trip that’s worth the bucks you’ll save, go to Carlsbad. You won’t be disappointed!
