shoes!!!!



The day off was lovely! Started off strange – but all fabulous in the end.
The beginning? While at the drug store– I saw two men walk out with store baskets full of food items; the alarms went off and not a single clerk did anything! When I went to my car a minute later – those two guys were at there car – looked me kind of mean and took off. I called the store manager on my cell and when I mentioned that the alarms had just gone off moments ago and nothing was done, she said ” Thank you. I will check the security tapes. Have a nice day!”

Okay so that was odd and nerve-wracking…but they day got better – of course, because we saw this (it is a knitted boot!):

We got to design our own shoe too!!!!!

And did you know that you can eat lunch at Whole Foods? Okay maybe you knew you could have a gourmet lunch at the grocery store– but I didn’t, until yesterday. My Whole Foods does not have his amazing lunch bar that the one in Alexandria Old Towne does – check it out if you are there!

We then went to PAZAZZ for our hands and feet. Brought a bottle of wine (an Austrian Riesling, aber natuerlich) and relaxed in the massaging chair while pedicured. It felt so good, I didn’t even knit. Then I decided to get my hair cut on a whim!

Okay I am going to toot own horn and say: Aren’t I cute?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
You have to understand something – 9 times out of 10; I am in tears when I leave a salon. It is very hard to find someone who will do a fabulous cut and color. This time was just cut (the bleach streak is my own personal boredom).

your hair (well, you in the whole) look great!
i´m stuck to my hairdresser for 9 years now, and she never disappointed me.
you know: choosing the "right" hairdresser is almost as important as choosing your hubby. but the relationship to the hairdresser might last longer ;)
you´ve seen a manolo blahnik. i´m jealous! oh, you don´t know *how* jealous i am...
i saw one once... that was on tv. they had a report about how those shoes are made. from design to the finished shoe. very interesting, but those prices! *whew*
when i ever become a millionair, i know where to shop! ^.^

Indeed, you are cute! Have you ever been cute before? Hair-wise I mean. Pretty different style now, isn't it?

When you all became millionaires you can start think about a manolo swap ;-)

Very cute hairdo. I love the sassy curls and the blond streak. I think I recognize that shirt, too. :)

After a visit over the weekend, I can attest to the fact that the hair is adorable. And of course I'm not being prejudiced at all!!!

it is true - i have never been this cute before :) - it is really a diferent cut for me. I move too much to have a regualr hairdresser. when we first moved to dc i drove 4 hours ever 3 months to get my hair done - that is how much it pains me to go to a new hairdresser :)
