Chloe's Conspiracy!

http://thechloeconspiracy.disqus.com/outfit_of_the_day_amp_a_give_a_way/trackback/

Chloe is having a give away! The (Chloe) Conspiracy is one of my favorite blogs, and she's having a great giveaway today. An adorable bracelet from Kolls. I raced out of the house this morning without jewelrey other than my (very) conservative earrings, diamonds yes, but they need a necklace; engagement ring, and watch. I know where I am going for lunch now!

By the way, Chloe, maybe Petunia will shape up after spending sometime with 3 angora bunnies!

French Press

I love coffee or Café, as I enthusiastically refer to it! Starbucks and Peets are my favorites. I buy about 2 pounds a week, and blend regular and decaf together cuz I'm not so much about the caffiene (except in the morning). The bolder the blend the tastier it is. yum!

While in Paris, I bought a silver Bodum French press (yes, I know that these are sold in the US!! I see them in Starbucks everyday! However, it just seemed like I should buy one in PARIS!!). I broke the glass beaker and have been very sad. I saw this red one and thought it was adorable. The best part is that the beaker is interchangeable. Now I can have my French pressed café again!



It was delicious!

Music in the Park

My fiance, his visiting child from NYC, my 3 angora bunnies, and I spent Sunday evening listening to classical music in the park behind the performing arts center last night. This was the bunnies first performance, and except for maybe little blind Wooley who wasn't feeling too well, both Madelaine and Lyonn enjoyed it. I held Wooley while he napped in a warm blanket through most of it. Nice ending to a weekend. What evening in the park would even be right without Audrey Hepburn and ballet flats?

J Crew for Lunch

Wondering what do for lunch today and decided to go to J Crew to see their new fall delicacies in person...I'm going to purchase the skinny tortoise patent leather belt. I had planned to buy it last year, but never did, so today is the day. In part to celebrate the great deal my fiance got on my Lexus repair!

Fall Shopping

It all started with the Nordstrom sale. Now the JCrew catalogs, Bluefly's emails....I've started the process that is FALL SHOPPING! Even the little boutiques around San Diego and Orange County, CA have cute fall clothes. I've already bought too much, now its time to organize and determine what I really 'need' to make my wardrobe complete.

Last week I had all my boots re-heeled and pumps shined and re-heeled at the fabulous Nordstrom shoe repair. I've been going there for years and they have always done a great job. So this week my job is to start pulling pieces I already own out of the closet for alterations. You know - the great jacket with the too-long arms or the pants that are just too big in odd places. I have an incredible tailor in Los Angeles, who is very reasonable. Over the course of the next couple of weeks I'll get a pile together, including the things I just bought and plan a day trip to see the tailor (and of course visit BLISS Spa!). Pictures to follow!

Julie and Julia

I am so excited about the new movie opening in theaters this Friday, Julie and Julia. Last Thursday evening I bought the book so I could get into the characters and just get overall into the event. As a semi-vegetarian, and anti-butter or fat of any kind person, some of the recipes were very 'hard to digest' but my brain started thinking of ways to make them really healthy and fat-free! I'm still excited about the movie and have prepared myself for the enormous amount of butter that I'm about to see! Amy Adams and Meryl Streep (saw them together in Doubt) will be a great team.

And I'm planning to wear pearls to the movie, just as the characters wear! Can't wait!
