I bought Geoff this green gingham shirt at the mall. A slim fit, extra small. Oh my little darling. I hope he likes it because I can't return it. Yikes!
The lovely young man in large glasses and a bowtie who helped me dig out the one extra small from amongst the many larges and extra larges asked me if I was a university or college student, because I would get a discount. I said that I wasn't, and he said I looked like one. I wanted to hug him.
Then I went to H&M where I bought these ridiculous lavender (lavender again!) sunnies. This is the trashiest photo I will ever post -- I am feeling brave today! Me in my underwear showing you the tattoo I got when I was a teenager. I know, I know, 'tis a beaut! In any case, there is a certain young lady arriving in Toronto soon; when you arrive I promise to spirit you away for the occasional ridiculous accessory binge at H&M. Sometimes a pair of $4.90 lavender tights does wonders for the poor soul who is writing papers on metadata retrieval & whatnot.
I can testify! Here are my new lavender tights, worn with my Frye t-straps. Oh, you noticed my mismatched ankles? Yes! One of the perils of living in the hinterland is ice. Sometimes one falls and breaks one's ankles and they never heal in a pretty way again.
Now I am at home, Geoff has come through the door, I have fresh coffee, and Belle & Sebastian playing. I am also admiring the recipe cards I got for my friend Kate for her birthday. They arrived today: custom letterpress cards from The Petite Press. I am in awe of these cards! Inexpensive ($18 for 20), beautiful, and the packaging was so lovely! I know Kate will like them. She has the prettiest name!
I hope you are all enjoying this glorious day wherever you are. xo
sounds like such a lovely day! the recipe cards are such a great idea, and i can't believe how affordable they are.

ReplyDeleteoh teenager tattoos, i got my first tattoo in a biker shop when i was 13, its flowers,which i then got covered with tribal-ish work when i was 17 in a basement by a friend...oh dear, thankfully i never had the $ to get all the tattoos i wanted like celtic arm band, nautical stars, who knows what else i woulda gotten...
now i'm trying to get money to cover my embaressing earlier ink
Sounds like a wonderful day! The weather was gorgeous this afternoon. And! You do NOT look 30. In fact, I thought you were younger then me!
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable with your adventures. & I agree that April is a comedic genius--I wish I was half as clever.
ReplyDeleteoh anabela...

ReplyDeleteI think geoff would look great in that shirt! Only few people can pull off a shirt like that.
ReplyDeleteHehe!
Great picture!
I was curious about your tattoo!
sounds like a perfect day. i should take days off like that more often!
ReplyDeletewheee! how awesome for you to share that cute moment when you were having fun with yourself. it made my night.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love that photo of you!
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute! And, that tattoo isn't bad! From the way you described it, I thought it must have been a tattoo of Hello Kitty or something....now, THAT could be bad, but this...not so embarrassing. Sorry you hate it though. At least it's not in a conspicuous spot!
