i think my birthday is officially over

i say that because the beautiful birthday flowers i received from my in-laws have died. i think that marks the official end of one's birthday. not too bad, really. i rode it out for two and a half weeks.

cinderella shoes

they were too small for carin and too big for lisa, but they fit me perfectly, so i just had to buy them. 20 bucks at the swap meet. i swear i saw rachel zoe wear some like this with black tights. hmmmmmmmm.

HOPE

IS HERE!!!

this picture

has nothing to do with my post, but i like it nonetheless. people looking at the winged victory at the louvre.

i'm back in l.a. i think the job in san diego is done. time to break out the polaroid. and yes, i still have film left. i just gotta get back into the swing of things after 5 or 6 weeks of going back and forth. here is something for you to look at while i get myself together. kolo (the cool photo album company) has started a new blog called koloist, and they asked me to contribute. they sent me lots of cool kolo stuff, and just encouraged me to be creative. they posted my first attempt on the blog today (or yesterday, depending on when you read this). hope you like it. oh, and this is a post about my "kolo weapons of choice."

silver and gold

there was quite a long stretch of time that i stopped going to the swap meets religiously. well, guess what . . . i'm going to the swap meets religiously, again and i love it! i love waking up early on sunday, strolling through the aisles of awesomeness, drinking coffee (decaf), sifting through old photos . . . all of it. i usually go with my brother, but yesterday i went it alone. probably good for him as i was in a super sifting mood. he's not a sifter (most boys aren't). i found a ton of great stuff. i actually had to leave before i finished walking through the entire swap meet because i ran out of money. i found these silver shoes for $5 and the gold purse for $10. hope you like them, too.

ps. my out of town job is almost over. i work tomorrow (my birthday) and then next monday. hopefully after that i can get back into the swing of things.

pretty & delicious

a fantastic combination. don't you agree.

we ate macarons from paulette yesterday. i couldn't resist taking a picture. the background is a vintage french crepe paper napkin. i wish i could use them all of the time, but if i did, i wouldn't have money for food. hmmmmmmm.

still away

hi. how are you? i'm still away on that job in san diego. i've convinced them to let me come in early to the studio and use the computer here to blog. they made fun of me. they always make fun of me. i will try to post again this week. and jamie and i have been posting over here.

this was the wall outside our neighborhood market in paris. ahhhh. i miss paris.
