Shops at Wiregrass not totally scary
In case you've been hiding under a rock (or just flu-ridden and hiding under blankets, like me), the Shops at Wiregrass are open!
Times reporter Erin Sullivan, superfriend to Divas the world over, hates malls. I can't personally comprehend this affliction (is it like the Black Plague? Ebola? West Nile? That thing from Jurassic Park where the tiny dinosaurs spit venom in your eyes?) Anyway, I'm happy to report she quite enjoyed her recent venture to Wiregrass, so if you have Mallitis like Erin, give this one a try! Read her whole entertaining account here.

Stephanie Hayes came out of the womb wearing high heels. While other kids were reciting multiplication tables, she was learning to calculate an extra third off the half-price discount during buy-one-get-one week. She loves animal prints, black mascara and anything that sparkles. She objects to visible panty lines, Crocs and anything that costs more than a car payment. And she doesn't drive a nice car. She can be reached at (727) 893-8857 or 
Since she was a little girl Nicole Hutcheson dreamed of dressing like a Vogue cover girl. But her reality was more JCPenney catalog. The fact only honed her better ability to find luxury for less. Always on the hunt for markdowns on designer labels, this Deal Diva’s weaknesses are good jeans and killer heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8828 or 
Colleen Jenkins learned two invaluable shopping tenets from her mom: 1. Buy quality. 2. Get it on sale. Then she added one of her own: Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! This Deal Diva’s idea of a blissful Saturday includes a trip to the Ellenton outlet mall. She loves mixing classic with trendy and cheap Target accessories with her markdown Banana Republic duds. She can be reached at (813) 226-3337 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
The only problem with the mall is that the roads leading to it merge to one road and it took 45 minutes to drive 3 miles to the mall today.

Can we all leave work NOW and head to Wesley Chapel? It's too beautiful to not be outside shopping!
