The floral version of my trench...ooo-la-la!
On the flip side, I experienced a close call with an ulcer (what a nasty word) in my eyeball (thanks to my contacts and my incorrect thinking in that sleeping in them was a brilliant idea) and have been restricted to glasses for at least another week. Not so bad, the specks make me appear sophisticated and I look as if I am in constant thought, listening with a sensitive, caring ear whenever I sport them. This is actually because either they or my ears are uneven and therefore force me to tilt my head consistently to the left. But, like I said, I appear intellectual, not diseased, so we'll leave it at that.
On another shopping related note, Ruehl is going out of business. It's a bitter sweet symphony in our house hold. Blake, my talented designer of a husband, helped launch the shop, modeled after a Greenwich Village town home, back when it was less Abercrombie-ish (shocking that it flopped. Why would you pay twice as much for something that you can already get at the over priced A&F?). So, in celebration of the closing tomorrow, I grabbed not one, but three, yes three leather bags. Don't worry, two are gifts so don't judge. Anyway, I love this bag more than my unborn child...if I had one.... and I think it's a pity Ruehl isn't continuing their leather line. Well, pity for me, party for PETA.
And finally, last week my fantastic friend, and freelance photographer (check out her site and if you are in the Columbus, OH area book a shoot, she is professional and fabulous) anyway, Jessica, relocated from the socialist state of maple syrup and Ben & Jerry's -Vermont, of course- to hang out with some peeps of a different lifestyle. BK and I set her up on a luxurious aero-bed in the living room "nook", which was working out pretty sweet until it decided to end it's life at just 5 years old, and literally turn into a soggy mess, like a hammock or a water bed but not so 1970's. So maybe I shouldn't have purchased the leather and shimmer because now we need a new bed for the guest. Jess is a good sport though, she likes hammocks, Avatars sleep in hammocks, so maybe we can pretend this is Pandora for a while.
The bed and the nook before the leak...rest in peace, you will be missed. You served many a gracious guest.
