coffee n shoes

snapped this during a quick trip to london for a second interview. hao and i were walking around london. the ad really doesn't seem to make a whole lotta sense, but i guess the shoes mean it'll catch a lady's eye? well, it did mine.

when my mom and i were in paris for a long weekend (we hit the first weekend of the summer sales, yessss!), our gallery hopping took us to 2 memorable exhibits. the first of which was the villa museum where a wealthy couple amassed art from around the world and decorated the house themselves with beautiful and unusual architectural elements - the audio guide made it into story of art and a great romance:

The Jacquemart-André Museum 158 Boulevard Haussmann - 75008 Paris Tel: 01-42-89-04-91 Metro: Miromesnil

the second was Gaultier haute couture at the cartier exhibition hall, which was really bizarre since Gaultier created the pieces out of bread and there was a bakery downstairs where visitors could watch the exhibits actually being made to replace the displays upstairs as the bread got stale.
