Mimosas, psychics and Venice

I have to tell you about my crazy, lovely day.

I have been wanting a sexy blazer, and I've been searching the web for hours trying to find the perfect one (even when I should be sleeping for work). I was willing to spend about $100 for a good quality one, and I found some at Bloomingdales and Urban. But I decided to check out Crossroads in Santa Monica first. Thank GOD I did.

I got:
1.) An Express blazer like the one Serena is wearing in the picture, but black.
2.) A looks-like-it-was-never-worn sexily professional DOLCE AND GABBANA blazer. I looked up the blazer online, and it's worth about $1300. I am NOT lying. I'm even tempted to re-sell it. But no, I deserve a D&G blazer. =)
3.) A BCBG Maxazria jacket
4.) A nice shirt from The Limited
5.) Another nice shirt from I don't know but it's cute

All for the price of what I would have paid for one blazer. What a deal.

Me without a nose. Haha- actually, this is my new haircut. Sorry for the excessive photo manipulation, I just learned how to take pictures on my webcam and I kinda went crazy. Hey, models are airbrushed all day! It was fun, but I don't understand why I always keep the pictures without my nose.
Today I got a haircut at Studio DNA in Santa Monica with Rosie. I heard about them from Yelp, and I was like... this is going to be expensive, but worth it! Right when I get in, they offer me a MIMOSA. And they had all kinds of food and candy and cakes and drinks. No kidding. They asked me to change into a robe so I wouldn't damage my clothes. It turns out, Rosie is a hair dresser for editorials in magazines- she does models' hair! No wonder she was expensive. I love what she did with my hair. I left a little tipsy- I have to say, I've never drank and got my hair cut at the same time.

After that amazing hair cut experience of my life, I went down to Venice, home of Venice Beach (about 5 minutes from my house). There's a cool, lively street there that I drove past and wanted to visit- Abbott Kinney Street. It's much less crowded than the 3rd St. Promenade, and it's a very chill scene to hang out in.
If you didn't know, I'm a very spiritual person and I like to read books on the topic. I really do find pushing the sand around with a rake to be really peaceful. Anyway, there was this bookstore on this street that had spiritual books, trinkets, elements, candles and such that I passed by and wanted to visit. They had "spiritual/life coaches" (I had no idea what that was at that point), and I had a very pressing spiritual question, so I decided to go for it. The woman who I met with was a psychic! She was not like HELLO I AM CLEO kinda person, she was very wonderful and down to earth. She said some amazing things to me, and I'm still astounded. I love it!

I ended my trip with a visit to an Indian food truck. On that street, they have gourmet trucks.

Amazing, huh?
