Naked







This is maybe the best alternative to an all white decor, that's still minimal and clean. I also feel like I could easily live in one of these spaces. The natural wood is ridiculously pretty and rustic (like the white spaces), but they don't feel like I'd need to walk around with dust cloths on my feet.

Potter . Park . Zoo













B. starts back to teaching this week, and I start next week, so we've been getting in as much end of the summer stuff as we can manage. Today we rode our bikes over to Potter Park Zoo, and then spent the afternoon wandering about.

I always have mixed feelings about zoos, as some of the animals are so clearly miserable, but our local zoo has a lot of re-integration programs, raises money to save natural habitats, and does a lot of education about animals. It's also kind of nice to give money to businesses in the community.

Neither of us had been to a zoo since we went in Toronto a few years ago, and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. They have peacocks that just wander around the park, and I wanted to take one or two home with me - wouldn't having a peacock in your yard be sort of magical?

Yes . I . Would . Like . to...

...have a few thousand dollars to buy shoes for fall. I'm particularly fond of the Acne "Atacoma" wedge, that's been re-released for this fall. I didn't really like this shoe when it first came out - it seemed heavy, and difficult to wear. But, as always seems to happen, I've come around and now kind of love it.






Of course, there are also about a zillion other pairs of shoes - mostly wedges, for some reason - that I'm lusting after. Le sigh... maybe I'll save up and treat myself to one or two new pairs.
