" It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off. "  

A quote from Woody Allen and might I add that one's hat may also blow off in their convertible on the way to their millinery class :)

This is the first time wearing this great sweater from sale rack at Anthropologie ( looked horrible on hanger ). Planned on wearing it with a skirt but, the proportions were WAY off; only good solution was skinny pants! Definitely felt borderline age inappropriate...

Enjoying a little retail therapy at the Desert Premium Outlets in Cabazon, CA. This place is so huge ( and HOT ) we never walk the entire outlet. This is my second favorite outlet after the other HUGE outlet bordering Mexico ( literally; the parking lot backs up to the border fence ).
