Foxwoods Resort and Casino #WrappedinWONDER

How many of you ladies out there would appreciate a day of shopping, noshing on delish bites, enjoying some fabulous champagne and (oh, yes… !) ice skating with some of your friends? A girl’s day. It’s the perfect kind of day. Head to the Foxwoods Resort and Casino!

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram – you probably saw all of my photos and posts yesterday of my GIRL’S DAY at Foxwoods Resort Casino. It was (in a word) FABULOUS. My best friend Vera Sweeney and I hosted a fun-filled day at Foxwoods with shopping at Tanger Outlets (that just opened there in May!), refreshments and ice skating with 20 ladies!

Now… Foxwoods Resort and Casino is absolutely known for their awesome casino, but the beauty of the resort is that there’s so much more!

If you’re like me and live close for an easy day trip (or weekend trip!), there is SO MUCH to take advantage of at Foxwoods Resort and Casino without even gambling once! I’m not a big gambling girl, so for me… I’m always thinking — shopping, spa, fun activities to try out and some wonderful dining options. Foxwoods Resort and Casino has all this and then some! We planned a fun Girl’s Day at Foxwoods and just had the best time ever!

With it being so close to the holidays, as you can imagine… Foxwoods Resort and Casino was decked from top and bottom and it was beautiful. The best part was putting together a day for everyone that would keep us busy, but relaxed at the same time! We kicked off the day with some shopping! Everyone loves to shop… and even if it’s not your passion, it’s the holidays and everyone has a few people to still check off their list! Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods is AMAZING! I’m telling you right now, it’s AMAZING! First off – it’s all indoors, so there’s no worrying about being too cold (or in the summer, too hot!).

It was so open and laid out perfectly where you didn’t feel overwhelmed by the large amount of stores. Are you ready to hear all the premium brands that were under one roof!?  To name just a few…  Vineyard Vines, J.Crew, Nine West, UGG, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Fossil, Brooks Brothers, Nike, H&M, Kay Jewelers, Gap Factory Outlet, American Eagle, Under Armour and many more!! The shopping and the DEALS were absolutely amazing!! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I got and how may Christmas gifts I was able to take check off my list! It was perfection! The best part was that we all kept meeting up in the different stores and kept telling each other about the great deals we just scored… all helping each other out!

Simply amazing shopping… and I did end up getting some FAB finds for myself!

After shopping for 90 minutes, we all wanted a little pick-me-up with some yummy food and some champagne! The food was simply amazing. If you’ve ever dined at Foxwoods, you know they have world-class chefs… so it was no surprise to get some fabulous food and drinks in our system!

Nothing like being able to relax after some “cardio” shopping with some champagne! We all just sat around and showed off our buys and really enjoyed everyone’s company!

And!! Then off to SKATE!! 🙂 I’m telling you, this made me feel like a kid again!! I loved this and it was so much fun to do it with a bunch of girls!! Foxwoods Resort and Casino has a GORGEOUS outdoor rink that is located behind the Fox Tower. It was such a beautiful destination and activity to try with everyone! And don’t worry if you don’t have skates – you can rent!! The trees surrounding the rink are decorated with over 100,000 lights, which was just stunning. But in all honesty, it was just fun being silly with the girls!!

When we were all done skating, we all took a photo around the fully decorated 30 foot Christmas tree. It was just breathtaking to see!
