Things I Love Thursday

Anticipating L.A., Baja, and of course, the beach!
My best girlfriend is graduating from FIDM this Saturday, so tomorrow I fly out to give her a hug and pat on the butt, and then we share the drive home together with her lover. There are too many things that I’m excited for… dressing up for the airport, buying shoes at the fashion district, meeting her new boyfriend, visiting my brother in Venice Beach, and the 12 hour drive back to Colorado when the 2 weeks are up. But best of all, we’re driving down the Baja Peninsula for her “graduation trip”, and camping on the beach. Finally, I get to have a stab at winning myself a tan this summer!!
With all the built up excitement & anticipation of buying tons of new shoes for cheap in L.A., I’ve been spending tons of time gawking at Jane’s designer heels, post-after-post[-after-post]. Actually, with this awkward time between South America and L.A. and being unable to start any new design jobs, I’ve been spending a completely ridiculous amount of time on the internet. So along with Jane’s Sea of Shoes, there’s also Agent Lover’s witty little posts of cupcakes, parties, and ensembles of rockabilly outfits that make me want to shop even more. It’s OK. I’m in Pagosa and there’s nowhere to shop, so I spend my pennies at the Thrift store and usually it only takes about $4 to give me my shopping fix for the day. Oh. And then there’s PinUpGirlClothing.com who send me mouth-watering-coupons for 20% off and all of a sudden I’m checking my credit card balance twice a day, just to make sure that money doesn’t magically appear out of nowhere…
