The day after Christmas. Finally exhaling. Finally settling in with all your new goodies...new clothes...and new plans. Our plan was to head to Downtown LA, into the Fashion District in the search for the perfect Winter Formal dress for Kali. The theme this year is "Viva Los Formal"- Las Vegas Theme.....So we headed out. Starbucks in hand...laughter in our heads...beautiful sunny day....Sunroof open, music crankin'....we were off!
Kali and Tori as we parked....I LOVE the old buildings...I love the architecture...The history. The stories behind each building. For us? We were looking for dresses! And Shoes!
Fifteen and Sixteen.
Funny how LA isn't so far from home. Yet so strange rollin' into....
First stop. Watching Kali look at fancy dresses. Priceless. After noticing "No Photo's" on everything...haha. Uh Oh. Yield to the Stalkarazzi!
After 4 stores, and several...uhh no's....she found this red dress. Originally she wanted a short flowy..kind, in a Colbalt Grey....As a baby, I dressed her in red. Red bows, red shoes, red tennie's, red ribbons. Red everything. I pleaded with her try this one on. The other people in the room trying on dresses told her YES, this dress looks amazing. She had them hold it. We wandered on to a few other stores.....
And came back to try it on again...After purchasing those sparkling black HIGH platform heels. So funny. I can only imagine those shoes will see about 2 hours of the night.
And we laughed and laughed. Hard. Trying to convince her to try these on! haha.
After going back to the Red Dress store, wrapping everything up there...having a Street Dog, covered in Salsa, Avocado, and everything bad....Stopping by a fruit stand for Mango and Cucumber's covered in Chili and Salt with lemon....it's something about LA. As much of a germaphobe that I am, I love it. I love the Street feel.
Shopping mission complete.
One more cruise of the streets. People watching. Enjoying the sunshine...
We made one more stop into Puss & Pooch an animal store for treats. Bucks and the kitties were amply surprised when we came home with amazing treats for them..wrapped especially cute. (Look at that old building above) love it!
Cousins. Love. Teens. Life is fast.
Crossing the street. Could be simple. But turned into a silly fest. I love it.
Heading home. Amazing fun day.
Good bye Los Angeles. Great dress. Great shoes. 2 more weeks. Kali will present herself to Gianni, dressed in red. Walking like a robot in those shoes...smiling as she starts her first adventure at Winter Formal. There are 18 couples. A limo bus. Dinner served for all. Photo's at the park together...and curfew 1am.
UGH! Wonder if she'll let me put a red bow in her hair....
Sigh.
