What I'll Be Wearing in Paris

I'm taking a two-week trip to Paris in September and I'm hoping to wear this outfit.

-Black, latex leggings from French Connection.
-Neon yellow shift dress from Old Navy.
-Cinched with skinny belt from F21.
-Black patent Christian Louboutins.
-Beret?

Um...No: The Animal Print Bandeau Top from F21

This is bad, real bad. And it comes in two other animal prints. Eek. Stay away! Do not order or wear! Although, real cougars might be into this.

Cougarmobile

Loving this used car I spied in the window of the Used Car dealership in NJ. If I were a cougar, I would buy this car and tool around my old high school.

Cassette Tapes and Mix Tapes Documentation

This is a shot of my cassette and mix tapes drawer in my old bedroom. Now you understand why I heart that mix tape USB thing so much.

I Will Never Be a Trapeze Artist

This is me at the Trapeze School of New York just before I totally let go of the bar and came crashing down into the surprisingly rough-netting. I am not afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of losing control. Ok, so climbing 23-feet in the air on a rickety ladder before standing on a platform about to swing on a trapeze and just looking down is pretty frightening. Still, I thought I was stronger than this. I managed a second attempt where I just swung for a little while. That was fun....ish. They opened a rig in Santa Monica, maybe I will try it again. I hate being such a wimp.

Deep Desire: Prada's Striped Bag

Prada knocked it out of the park this season from fairy bags to fairy dresses to fantasy shoes and now multi-colored striped bags. I covet this bag today like no other. Am wondering which department store credit card bill of mine is not overdue. Am going to attempt to purchase. No! Cannot purchase. Want to purchase. Want want want. No! It would be bad. But yet so sweet to cradle that soft leather in my hands and...I must stop now.

And I Would Walk 500 Miles and I Would Walk 500 More

Hmm...They Might Be Giants should redo this song and make it about air miles. Then I would have the perfect song to go along with my #4 ranking in the Ultimate Jetsetters: The Bloggers Edition contest. I came in #4 out of a bunch of travel bloggers in a contest to see who has flown the most miles in a year. I tallied up 49,506 miles in a year. I feel like I missed a few trips. Too bad my Australia trip didn't make the cutoff. Anyways, kinda cool.
