A Day Of Shopping At The Arches #TangerStyle

I just had a fabulous day of shopping at Tanger Outlets at the Arches, a whole day of shopping at this gorgeous outdoor shopping mall, where I enjoyed hours and hours of much needed retail therapy.

I feel so relaxed.

What did I shop for?

  • A kate spade black leather wallet- originally $195, now mine for only $50
  • Clinique dramatically different moisturizer (to keep my skin hydrated and dewy during the dry winter)
  • A gorgeous sapphire blue jacket for little man and some cute cozy sleepers for the baby (with little bear footsies)
  • A medley of Bath & Body Works wallflowers for our new home, in scents like Marshmallow Fireside (yummy!)

We had dinner at La Fratella, where I enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner, the perfect end to a perfect day of shopping. The weather was around 80 degrees, the kids had a great time, and it was a lovely day.

I recently became a Tanger Outlets ambassador, so now everyone who reads my blog will learn how much I shop at Tanger Outlets (everyone who knows me offline already knows…and are usually hitching along with me to shop). I used to make biannual visits to the Riverhead location, which was a bit of a hike (a couple hours away), and would stock up on goodies every spring and fall. Now that Tanger Outlets has opened in Deer Park, I’ve been going monthly and enjoying great savings on my favorite brands all the time. There are new stores coming soon to Tanger Outlets at the Arches, and next month is the annual tree lighting, so I’m planning my trip that day for a wonderfully fun family day of shopping and holiday excitement.

What is on your shopping list? Have you been to Tanger Outlets? What are your favorite shops?

I wrote this post as a brand ambassador for Tanger Outlets. My thoughts, opinions, and love for their shops are real and 100% my own. It is a pleasure to be able to work with a company I truly enjoy.




  • There is one in the Houston area and it is AWESOME!

  • I love going to the outlets to shop!

  • Oooh looks like so much fun! Love those red hats in the first collage.

  • Wow, that is one awesome deal on a Kate Spade bag.

  • It looks like you had a really great time! I haven’t been to an outlet mall in ages.

    Those are at kate spade, super cute, right?

  • Leilani

    Love the Kate Spade wallet and what a steal at only $50!

  • We are not quite ready for outdoor shopping here but when it cools down it will be beautiful. Shopping is one of those things I like to do alone. I can’t concentrate when I have anyone with me.

    looks like a great outlet store thanks for sharing

  • I so love going to our outlets. I haven’t ever shopped all day but its fun to go to my favorite stores, especially the Coach outlet. 🙂

  • Love the outlets, love all your take homes!! I shop at our outlets more than anywhere else too!

  • This looks like a cool store. I’ve never heard of it before.

  • Looks like a nice outlet! I need one in my area. 🙂

    I don’t think there are any in Canada right now, but it’s more of a shopping experience- an outdoor mall of high-end brand outlets, so you get discounted Ralph Lauren and Coach and more, as well as stores like “The Christmas Tree Stores” that carry everything, so you can pretty much spend the day with your family. There are restaurants and events (like the tree lighting next month, and the manager said they host music events too).

    Tanger Outlets at the Arches also has the benefit of being totally enclosed, so if your child runs into the “street”, they are really running into the area between stores with benches and trees and children’s rides…there are no streets with cars, very safe.

    Our closest Tanger outlet is 5 hours from here. I still want to go!

  • Donna

    I live near the Pigeon Forge Tanger Outlet… love it! I usually go over several times a year. 🙂

  • It looks like you had a fabulous time and you found some great deals.

  • So many places to shop!!

  • You scored some great deals! Whenever I visit their outlets, I do too and you reminded me that I’m about due for a visit. 🙂

  • Ooh I love that wallet. I’ve never heard of them, but love going to outlet malls!

  • What a great outlet. We dont have a Tanger outlet near me 🙁

  • April Decheine

    I love Tanger Outlets, we have one real close to my house, such a fun place to shop!

  • Looks like you had a great time! I think I saw these outlets down in Pigeon Forge, TN when we were just down there! I didn’t get a chance to pop in there though. Sad face.

  • I LOVE Tanger outlets. We don’t have them here but we do have the Silver Sands Factory Outlet mall and it’s got all the same stores

  • You got some great deals! I love all of the name brands you’re able to buy for so little at outlet malls. We have a Tanger Outlet not far from us, I need to make time to make a trip sometime soon – some post-pregnancy clothes would be very nice!
