today i was going to go to the museum but it was too pretty out so i went window shopping

i got a coffee
and i wasn't necessarily planning to window shop
but i was lured by the XM 40s music
and the palm trees
to stay
after
i
had
finished my coffee on the patio

and
i did go in some shops
i have no idea
whether my choice of shops interests you
i don't peg you as much of a shopper
but god is in the details, so

l'occitaine:
almost bought thigh slimmer
decided i had body shop thigh slimmer already not being used

west elm:
bought a shower curtain
have wanted new shower curtain
for years
have been unable to find something i like
it seems french to me

crate & barrel:
really really like this coffee table

and realized
my ideas about decorating
have
at the root
some seventies aesthetic
whereby
the child in me
wants
a zebra skin
somewhere in the room
wall
floor
whatever
and
maybe
a narwhal tusk
or albino turtle shell

[although not a barber chair nor a gumball machine]
just so i'm clear

soma/chico's:
the bra i liked
only goes up to 36
and i'm pretty sure i need a 40

anthropologie:
ok
i went in to anthropologie
and i was in there a while
but the doors were open
and it's all glass
so it was
kinda
like
still being outside
and
i love their furniture
they had this sofa
it was deep
slipcovered canvas
[maybe cotton linen blend, not sure]
off white basically
with blue kind of ikat inspired print pillows
and
i mean
maybe it isn't what i'd choose first
being off white and blue
but it was
so home-y
and
most sofas aren't
most don't feel like anything i'd want
[and it was half priced]
which made me yearn for it all the more
though that only brings it down to really expensive
from omg expensive
it isn't online
but
this is what their sofas are like
[swoon swoon]

and
i almost bought a hair ornament
but
then i decided
it made me look like i was trying to look younger
and
i almost bought
a book of neruda love poems
but
i decided to hold out for hardback
but they have a magazine now
which is very cool
i've been out of my magazine thing for a while
because of the internet
and
they had
huckleberry finn

and
i couldn't not buy it
i tried
i failed
i brought it home

coldwater creek:
i've never been in coldwater creek before
so i thought i'd see what they had
but
and this is kinda funny
it made me very uncomfortable
like
this is not your store honey
but
i can't tell you exactly whose store it is
just
that it made me want to run not walk away

foodie grocery:
dark russian rye loaf
[total impulse buy mmmmmmmmm]
two bagels
a bottle of water
a jar of peanut butter
chlorella tablets
lip balm

so
boring as shopping with a girl
or
snapshot of my mind
i
don't know
i
love you
though
