after 3 slightly crazy days over the july 4th weekend, i really wanted to go out to brooklyn to meet loulou, who was in town all the way from faraway lands! she had been in town all week and the bows and knickers she makes are so cute, i wanted to meet the woman who makes them! then, when i went with gala and nubby to the dances of vice event, i learned that nubby wanted to go meet her too, so we decided to meet up the next day (sunday) and hop over to brooklyn together.
so we ventured out on the L train and found loulou at the artists and fleas market. loulou was so cute with her red hair! and there were some crazy similarities between nubby and loulou. for one thing, no one looks better in red lipstick than those two cuties. and, they both had the same nameplate necklaces from helpless romantic. the necklaces were so cute, i went back home and promptly ordered my own. can’t wait for it to arrive!!
we also purchased pretty bows from loulou in loving support. nubby got one in red that is so perfect for her, and i bought a black gingham one! woohoo! i’ve actually made bows before but never one this big!
after meeting loulou, nubby and i headed to lunch and we found this really amazing surf bar. it had sand all over the floor! where did they get it from! the food was excellent too. i had a lobster bisque that was just delish.

and the funniest part of the day, was meeting these 2 guys who were dancing around this cross-street in brooklyn. i mean, they were kinda whack!! it was really funny and they were dancing to cher, who was singing so loudly from her cassette tape! hahahahaha! they noticed us filming them and came over to talk to us but it started getting slightly harassing and scary! ah!
nubby and i had a really nice and relaxing, kinda low-key day together. we had a great talk over lunch, sharing our dreams and goals. i loved it! it was so great talking to an artist and designer whose work i’ve always loved (awesome mixed media and collages!). it was such an inspiring day. i felt so empowered!!
the day ended with us laughing just ever-so-slightly hysterically, over disgusting toilet mishaps. ahahaah! can’t wait to see you on your birthday, dear nubby!

+fashion herald+
hahah. i got slightly terrified!
I just discovered your blog today – so much fun!
Looks like you had a lovely afternoon.
those dancing guys are rather frightening, and I think my sister has one of those silver robot dogs like the most oddly-dressed one’s got! That dress is so cute, as are you in it
You are so adorable! And, when the three of you combine the adorableness is almost too much to handle.
I have never been to NYC, but have always wanted to…now I want to even more than ever!
too – much- coolness – for – one – blog – aghh!!!
+andrea+
i’m so glad you liked it! yes, i did have an amazing day.
+lady julianne+
your sister has the aibo dog?!! well the aibo is the really expensive super cool version. i think those guys stole it. or inherited a similar robot.
+emily abigail+
hahaha thank you honey. new york has its good and bad points. what’s bad now is the heat and the great stink of pee. ugh. or maybe rotting rats. i don’t know. you must come one day though!
+tash+
oh—- you – are – too – kind! wheeee!
Well my sister has a robot dog thing that looks similar but it’s several years old and not expensive or super cool, it could be one of those that the guys had!?
