All by myself in Claremont, CA

It was a Sunday, it was over 100' in the house and just as hot outside and I could not bare it any longer. After numerous attempts to get my mother and sister to join me on a random drive there were no takers. I went alone and that's just fine, I like being alone, is something wrong with me? God I hope not, its just too hard for me to call a handful of people and get the same awnser: no sorry I'm busy. Hey I do the same thing, life is busy who has time to do things on other peoples time...is that too selfish to say? I barely hang out with my boyfriend and I hate talking on the phone. I'm taking some deep-thinking classes and working late ass hours, all I can do is spend time with the one I love, myself.

When I spend time with myself I treat myself very well. I have a nice lunch a coffee maybe a present in the form of window shopping, and if I'm a really good girl I get a new pair of earrings.

On the latest all by myself trip I drove down a few miles...18 miles to Claremont, CA. Does anyone know what Iam talking about? This place is beautiful, full of trees, college hotties, green design shops, great homes, cafes, coffee and Mountains! I spent a few hours walking bout this town as if it was the first time I had seen it. There is something on every corner that gets my attention.

After walking around a few hours my appetite was calling me like a gossiping girl. I realized that I really hadn't had much to eat that day, besides that 500 calorie mini muffin...ugh why. So I walked around aimlessly because I cannot make up my mind when Iam hungry, its kinda weird. After going back and forth on where to eat lunch I listened to my instincts just like my philosophy teacher said and I ended up at Le Pain Quotidien.

So why did I choose to eat here? You must be wondering what my instincts were thinking...well I was pulled into this place because I love quiche, and it was one of the first things on the menu. I ordered the quiche Lorianne with a arugula salad and green iced tea...why am I going into so much detail? Well I want you to order exactly what I did. This was the perfect light enough lunch for a Summer afternoon. That's why.
Now that you heard me go off on the quiche and saw the picture to go along I know that you are sold on it too. Sorry if you are vegan or lactose you are missing out.
The La Pain Quotidein surprised me with a wonderful meal, knowledgeable server , and a cute cafe featuring a full bakery & a communal table.

I had never heard of the La Pain Quotidein before and Iam so glad I stopped by. It must really be good because apparently alot of celebs frequent this place including Katie Holmes who has is loaded.
So glad to have come and gone. Cheers to many more all by myself trips, dates and time with friends in Claremont, CA.

Getting Toplofty with Trina Turk, Palm Springs

One may think that trekking to the outskirts of the desert is only for those who love dirt bikes and camping, guess again! I was so excited to go to the desert, you can walk aimlessly up and down the main road of Palm Springs. It is even better when you act as if you have all the time and money in the world, as well as a personal ac blowing on your back.

To make matters even better there is a Trina Turk located on the main road in Palm Springs and I had a chance to use my fake money and buy the whole entire collection. No not really, but if I could I just might do so.

Trina Turks store is all style and substance, unlike the women who were working that day. I will not go into too much detail about the customer service, for there was none. Haha it was as if I needed a reservation or some special VIP pass to be inside, that's how haughty these sales women acted towards us.

When life gives you a fitting room, you try everything on, and that is what we did for about 45 mins or so. I tried on this here dress which was very nice but the colors were not my favorite combo. Brown and Yellow is a bit too soulfully rich for me. I prefer purple and greens.

My sister brought out her inner Bruno for all to see if they wanted to see it or not it was happening. She really liked this jumper, and it was actually pretty cute on her. Maybe she can find herself a girlfriend out here to be her sugar Mama.
This is the risque fitting room that has a crack for those who want to take a peep show.
Once again Sugar mama would come in handy for this bathing suit.

When it comes to my sister expect the unexpected...

This is a style I love wearing even though it makes me look way bigger than Iam.

I saw this book in the Trina Turk home store, but my mom bought it online. Cant wait to see it, I most Cuban things. I did have a Cuban birthday party ya know.

Thanks for the Summer fun Trina!

Great Job on the Interior Design Kelly, it really evokes the spirit of the clothing and the customer base.

Until we meet again
