BIIIIICYCLE BIIIIICYLE BIIIIICYLE

Fiance bought me a BICYCLE yesterday!

Fiance, who already has a road bike, suggested I get a bike about a month ago. I instantly imagined myself riding around cobblestone roads, wearing a full skirt, pony tail flying in the air, scarf flapping in the wind. There are freshly cut flowers, a baguette, and a bottle of wine in my basket. Also, apparently, I am Audrey Hepburn and I live in Paris.

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.

We go to a bike shop and I sit on a couple of bikes to get an idea of what size I need. Of course, I will only look at the "girl bikes" (i.e., a beach cruiser) and more importantly, what type of basket should I get? Wicker? Metal?

After some more research online, we decide on the bike above. It was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. YAY!

Fiance adjusts the seat for me and clips on an LED light in the front and back of the bike (safety first, guys). Lets take it out for a spin around the neighborhood. OKAY!

I get on the bike and suddenly-

"Do I know how to ride a bike?"

ERRR. OK I DO KNOW HOW, but its probably been15+ years since I've ridden a bike?

Needless to say, I was all WOBBLE WOBBLE, but I guess it's true that you never do forget how to ride one of these things. So they say.

We are riding to the bike shop after work today so I can pick out a rear mounted basket. And a baguette.

I always think of this song when I hear the word "bicycle."

I decided to stop lusting and start saving.

I opened another savings account (i now have 3) specifically for FANCY SHOES wherein a predetermined portion of my paycheck will be deducted and deposited into said FANCY SHOES account bi-weekly.

I probably should have started a WEDDING GOWN account and WEDDING SHOES account before the gratuitous FANCY SHOES account. Too much accounting....

Black and Blue

Opening Ceremony bodysuit, Arden B leather skirt, Nine West shoes, UO necklace, F21 bracelets.

Clouds-of-Tulle won tix to a local fashion show so she took me along. It was pretty.....terrible. Ok I know "fashion" and "style" and "art" are like totally subjective....but Ed Hardy? Can we pretty much all agree that Ed Hardy is objectively "bad fashion?" COME on. So much bedazzled dragons.

Inspired by Rachel Zoe, I decided to wear a slouchy beanie out in the summer. Tried it out on Monday night for some after dinner drinks. Head so hot. I think this may only work in CA.

I bought 10 pounds of Haribo Twin Cherries on Amazon. I eat them EVERYDAY everyday.

Target maxi dress, F21 belt and jewelry

I wore this to work (with a cardigan) last week for "Casual Friday." I took the photos after coming home from work. LOOK AT MY OILY FACE LOOK AT IT. Also the strange hair-loop coming out the side of my head.
