Leo Love

In high school, my best friend Tiffany wore a leopard headband ONE time. Apparently, it was considered a huge fashion faux pas at the time, because we all made fun of her. This is especially hilarious because we went to an arts high school and people wore crazy ish. For example, one girl made a very skimpy "shirt" out of caution tape which finally prompted school administrators to consider, but ultimately abandon, the idea of a dress code. Considering our environment a leopard headband should have gone completely unnoticed, but it didn't. To this day, our friend Zach will not let Tiffany forget it, and every once in a while he'll remind her to "leave the leopard at home".
Ten years later (OMG, 10 years! We're old!) and leo is back...big time. I for one am loving it, so when I saw these pumps at Target during Sunday's mini shopping trip to the US, I knew I had to have them.
Also loving? This tassle necklace from Sarah's Etsy shop. Basically, I haven't taken it off since I bought it on Thursday.

The mini shopping trip was so much fun, even though we only went to Watertown, where the main attraction is: Target. Somehow, I still managed to buy a lot of stuff (including this dress) and spend five times my budgeted amount. (To be fair, my budgeted amount was ridiculously unrealistic, so I was bound to fail)
My friend from California couldn't believe that we were going to drive for two hours and cross a border in order to end up at Target, but she doesn't understand what a Target-less life is like. I can't wait for it to finally open up in Canada. Until then, an open letter for their consideration:

Dear Canadian Target,

Please do not suck like Canadian Old Navy.

Sincerely,

Everyone

Also, for the first time since Sarah and I have been cross- border shopping together, we were asked by the border services guy to "go inside" and pay taxes on all our new purchases even though we claimed an amount that was significantly smaller than every other time we've crossed the border AND I put on lipgloss as we arrived at the crossing AND Sarah made a really funny joke about shoes. We pulled out all the stops, but this guy was having none of it.
