These past few days have been a whirl wind of job searching for my lovely boyfriend. Freelance isn't quite paying the bills, so it's time for something steady..with benefits no doubt! I dream about it every day that something will turn up. Times have been tough, and not just for us, but for the country. I'm thankful because it's a fact that things could be worse. Yesterday, we hit the local mall in stride for his interview with a pretty "hip" clothing chain. I'll give you a hint...it starts with U & ends with O & sounds like Schmurban Schmoutfitters.
I like what a good friend of his said... "Just know that you're cooler than anything in there."
This is so true.
Tiffany's always has some unique window displays. Who doesn't like diamonds with their ice cream Killing time at the mall always reminds me of my high school days. School and the local mall. That was it, and it was everything. Oh, youth and the joys of being irresponsible. We cruised Neiman Marcus which was delightful. It is easier to look at clothes that I absolutely know I could never afford, even if I worked every single day without breaks. No impulse buys! Just walking around feeling a bit naughty because we were taking pictures in front of their art displays. A shopgirl asked Jeaux if he was looking for anything in particular, and he answered, "no thanks, just came to see the art." "Oh.." she replied. I absolutely loved the color blocking of the paintings and thought they went well with my outfit. It was a trip to find out that some of the paintings were created by this woman. A similar painting is on display and part of Neiman Marcus' permanent collection. She is also the associate dean for CalArts School of Art. Our alma mater. |
Pants & top, both H&M. Vintage bag from Mom. The necklace was a steal at Urban a long while ago. I think I only payed 9 bucks. (Shhh..but it's a secret!) |
Iridescent butterflies hang from the ceiling at Neiman Marcus. This picture does not do it justice. |
your friend,
