The Week in Pictures: 7.23.10
01
One of my biggest pet peeves are cheaply made shoes but when I was at Forever 21 this weekend, I spotted the Metallic Spirit Flats which are just what I need when I have to throw something on to walk Rocky around the ‘hood. In true form, they smell like stinky synthetic material (but they’re so damn cute)!
02
What are your summer scents? Mine are Sonia Kashuk No. 4 (light and slightly fruity) and MAC Creations MV1 (stronger with a big dose of vanilla).
03
What does that bottom book say? Los Angeles!!! The way I plan trips goes something like this: Gala emails me and asks if I’d like to join her for an all girls adventure. I immediately respond with a resounding yes! Then, we fill in the details. Disneyland! Jazzi! And, I need to make a pit stop at the All Saints store. I haven’t had a real vacation (let alone a full day off ) this year so I am beyond ready for some girl time and lounging around.
04
You can bet that I already have my mouse ears out. Gala, Jazzi and I did Disneyland last February, then I visited Disney World in November with my dad. Now, I’m hitting Disneyland again with the girls and Disney World in November. I’m sensing a pattern here!!! What do I love about Disney? It’s a chance to escape reality for a day, eat loads of junk food and go on rides (though, I am skipping Splash Mountain — got soaked and my hair turned into a mound of major knots last time).
05
I was seated outside at The Goodfoot a few days ago and noticed this goofy door, supposedly leading to a smoking area….but when I peeked in, all I could see were garbage cans and bikes. Maybe it’s really a secret passageway.
I hope you’ve had an enjoyable week! My dad has been working super hard building us a fence and next up, I have to buy 10 million gallons of gray paint (okay, that’s a slight exaggeration) for our front porch, living room and kitchen. Then, I have to do a million rounds of freelance (another slight exaggeration) and try to get a handle on this thing called life. Wish me luck.

Yay for Disneyland! I went to Disney World last year and it was the best holiday I’ve ever had. Truly magical and so much fun! Hope you have an amazing time! You definitely deserve a big holiday after all the hard work you’ve been doing!
I’m planning a trip to Brussels in November to stay in the Pantone Hotel! (Yay! A designers dream!) However, this weekend, I’m off to a little place called Windermere and staying in a hotel by the lake with my man. Should be good!

Oh man, last time I went on Splash Mountain I was wearing suede mocs – big mistake!
Have fun planning your trip!

Surprisingly, I have never been to Disney Land OR Disney World. The hubby has and keeps promising me a trip soon. I’m dying to go!

1. I must have those shoes. Simply must. If they come in silver, even better.
2. I love Wallpaper City Guides.

Love love love the shoes, I hope you share how you style them.

maybe they’re trying to discourage smoking? like if you want to smoke here, you have to do it by the garbage.

Kaz: I’ve heard that Brussels resembles a magical fairytale dreamland. You’re so lucky!
Cara-Mia: Oh no! That’s the worst! Florida humidity + hair soaked with gross Splash Mountain water was pretty horrible as well…all I could say repeatedly for the rest of the day was “this was the biggest mistake of my life!” Ha.
Caroline Royce: I didn’t see any in silver but a girl can dream!
Rosie: I probably won’t wear them much on a daily dress-up basis…they’re more of a leave-by-the-door sort of thing so I doubt I’ll give much thought to what I’m wearing with them.
Jess Needs A New Face: Hahahahaha. Sounds feasible to me! “You choose to smoke? Well, that makes you a second-class citizen and we’re banishing you to the dumpsters!”
