Living Colorfully

Last week I took a day trip to Pasadena with this lovely lady.

Suz grew up in the heart of the quaint Southern California town, 

which made her the perfect tour guide.

I miss the unique feel of neighborhood streets 

and Pasadena was just what the doctor ordered.

We made a stop at giggle, 

a darling baby store,

 before sitting down to a tasty lunch at the Green Street Cafe. 

We wound up walking Colorado Blvd. - taking in the shops.

A stop at Lush is always a must.

And we found ourselves gushing over the kate spade store.

A girl can only dream of buying a pencil in that store

but it sure does provide some inspiration for living colorfully.

I can't get over this sign.

I don't know who it describes, 

but don't you want to be her?

She sounds utterly fabulous and 

equally as charming as the avenues in this well-known L.A. suburb.
