My friend, Susie, came to visit from Portland. She is a fun gal that has her own business selling Cabi clothing. We had a couple evenings of fun where all my friends could try on all the clothes and just play dress up. :)
During her visit we had A Perfect Day
7:45 Wake up and leisurely enjoy morning coffee in your pj's all the while chatting about your family and years of memories.
9:30 Go through my closet piece by piece and let her "purge" all the frocks that looked good back in the day....maybe. I would say trust had been accomplished at this point.
11:00 Put on some make up to head out for lunch. Jump into a very sexy white 350Z convertible and enjoy the fresh Arizona scenery and sunshine.
Now you must know, at this point it is non-weather. This happens when you are not cold, you are not hot, there is no wind and you are entirely, perfectly comfortable.
12:15 We arrive for lunch at The Royal Palm. The valet greets us with a smile and comments on how "stylin" we are. perfect.
One of the best spots in a city full of nice resorts is T Cooks. Our lunch was savory and completed with a glass of dry rose (you have to try it) for Susie and predictable but scrumptious cab for me.
1:45 Back in the Z to head out to the ShiShi Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. Since Susie has a "passion for fashion" to say the least, I knew she would LOVE this place. We head down to the perfume counter at Nordies to try a new scent as we walked around the stores, perusing the spring sandal styles in the shoe salon, and strolling our way to the store where my joy is to feel the purses(like buttah) as they are definitely WAY out of my price range. Pressing on, we got to Nieman's where Susie found what she was looking for- a lovely lingerie to put "the girls" where they should be....perfect.
3:00 Weary from mall overstimulation, we headed home, but stopped at my FAV coffee place-- DUTCH BROS. The girl there commented on how much she loved our style.(exactly what two fifty-somethings want to hear!) Again, perfect.
3:45 We arrive home to prepare for the Cabilicious party. I turn on my IPOD and the Steely Dan tune Hey 19 comes on.....PERFECTOMUNDO! When that happens you are instantly transported into a good place.
7:00 Friends descend and go crazy throwing clothes everywhere and trying on everything. Hallelujah for a little spandex I say. ...perfect
Perfect Days End note to self: Aahhhhh....relaxing and enjoyable and now an even better friendship.
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends we choose.-Hsich
What an awesome day. You're right, it does sound perfect! I loved reading this post. You're darling. :)
