Blue Cow & MANOLO BLAHNIK

Bon soir everyone!! 

These pictures were taken yesterday on my merry way to a small, local supermarket/eatery in Ann Arbor called Babo.

I suppose needing more milk inspired me to wear cow print.

I brightened up the typical black and white color scheme with a nice slice of BLUE and a kick from these beautiful suede, point-toed Manolos.

There's something so beautiful about local communities.

When I first came to Ann Arbor, MI all I saw was a teeny town of teeny stores but it turns out, this town is a nook goldmine with delicious, fresh, locally grown/made food, hilarious comedy shows, sultry live jazz music and dusty, enchanting bookstores.

        

This was a thoughtful gesture that made me long for my dear dog, Sasha, back in NY.

There are so many creative ways that storeowners can make passer-bys smile...or smirk if you're a tough crowd and aren't easily impressed on a rather grumpy day.

Nevertheless, living a more locally-tuned life has most definitely enhanced the quality of my days~

I mean, who doesn't appreciate samples of wine on Wednesdays, live jazz on Thursdays/Fridays and tea w/scone specials after farmers market on Saturdays?

Yup, the local life sure is the good life. I hope this inspires you to stroll out a bit and find your own nooks~

Thank you for taking the time to read! Sit tight, the weekend is near!!
