The Red Shoes

I had such a lovely Sunday yesterday!

Went to drunch and had a delicious cajun benedict at The Germantown Cafe

Looks gross, right?

Wore one of my favy Christmas presents EVER (a dress from my darling P.)



Vintage Mardi Gras 60′s dress, vintage stockings, vintage Walter Steiger pumps

Met up with a dear old friend at Pre To Post Modern to dress her for a sexy, sexy date.

Had lots and lots of coffee while doing a puzzle with The Boy’s mom.

And saw The Red Shoes at the Belcourt .
If you’ve not seen this late 40′s film, YOU MUST GO NOW! The costumes are exquisite!

And then to Waffle house for more grits!

Every good day begins and ends with grits.

New York’s a good time to let go

Noun
drunch (plural drunches)
A meal eaten later in the day than breakfast and earlier than lunch, replacing both meals, and often consisting of some foods that would normally be eaten at breakfast and some foods that would normally be eaten at lunch. This meal includes alcohol, and happens once a week with the Ladies Who Drunch (Carmen, Pierrette and Rachel).

We started being Ladies Who Drunch waaay back in October, and it’s the best damn thing in my week! Rachel’s husband started taking notice to HOW MUCH EFFING FUN we have on our weekly dates, and suggested we do something girly like take a road trip to NYC. A ROAD TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY.

I started my NYC savings account last week. Any suggestions on where I blow all my money? Does anyone want to get together in NYC for some drunch? We’re thinking late Spring…

I will consistently dream about this every night until I’m in NYC (Other than dreaming that Beyonce is my best friend and I’m in Video Phone , but that’s another post entirely)

love, carmen
