“Swimming with the Louboutins”

While I’m sorting out my formating issues during the next couple of weeks I’m going to have some fun and share much shorter, more frequent posts.

Little visual palate cleansers if you will.

Today I hit the visual motherlode at Barney’s NY where the window held  a giant aquarium filled with lovely pink fish and yes, Louboutins!

 LOVED THIS!  God knows I’ve had more than one night I’ve wished my  pink Louboutins were sleeping with the fishies!

Now that’s creative.

and look who else thought soThe adorable Bill Cunningham, who told us he has never watched the fabulous documentary about him. Can’t say I’m surprised.

A fun day in NY!

The calm before the storm??

Alright, so it’s not really my 99th “Friday Favourites”… I was just trying to sound productive.

Life is hectic at the moment, but I still wanted to share a few things this Memorial Day Weekend.

The weather is gorgeous in Santa Barbara. Fingers & toes crossed it lasts all weekend long both here, and where ever you may be.

and therefore, so do you!

I know I’m really late in getting this recommendation up, but better late than…

(Did I mention I’m a huge proponent of “The Slow Movement”?!)

If, by any chance, you haven’t caught this ENCHANTING documentary yet, please, puhleeze go see it post haste.

Trust me on this one, you’ll not be sorry.  Bill Cunningham is an absolute JOY and the film is a delight- I had a smile on my face all day.
