sprinkles and sparkles
i hope you all had a nice long weekend! mine was just perfect. i walked all over sunnyside to look at the gardens in bloom, attended 2 picnics, saw ‘bridesmaids’, sat in central park with my girl friends making bracelets, and i wore this crazy sonia rykiel dress. i really like things that walk the line between ‘regular clothes’ and ‘costume’. the sparkly pailettes make me very happy.
i also left the home without a proper purse, which is something i haven’t done in many years. it felt weird, and then i felt weird for feeling weird about it. i just didn’t feel like any of my bags matched this dress.
i bought this bracelet in a shop across from my favorite indian food restaurant, and was excited to find it in the back of my jewelry box. i thought it was going to be my perfect summer accessory, but by the end of the day, all the colorful fuzzy bits had fallen apart, and i was left with a white thread around my wrist. it was nice while it lasted!
though i’ve been trying to eat healthier for awhile now, i used my glittery dress as an excuse to eat some donuts at queens comfort- the ‘funfetti’ donut matched my outfit so well! and, well, the cinnamon sugar donut just looked good.
while i’m on the subject of food, i had a lot of good stuff this weekend. aside from the donuts, i had this cornbread french toast, cotton candy, several sponge bob square pants ice cream bars (a frequent summer indulgence), brie and jarlsberg sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries on a skewer, and lots more… i was kind of a pig, truth be told. when i bought my strawberry skewer off a stand on the street, a man at a meat truck next door yelled after me “YOU NO FORGET YOUR MEAT ON STICK!”. i will never forget again.
