High Street.

I had a super leisurely morning and afternoon last Wed. My friend Marilyn suggested lunching and when we were arranging the details it turned out she had actually taken the day off. I had a few errands to run on high street so we met up mid-morning at Steeps.

Man, an iced tea tastes so good when you're thirsty after riding.

I almost always have a folding fan in my purse. I use it at red lights to cool off when I'm hot. And in the summer the fan is handy for making sure I don't stick to my seat when I get to a restaurant or cafe.

My wheel lock key for Pashley has a little hello kitty on it. It was a mini charm inside a hello kitty eye shadow my mom gave me. And no, this was not when I was a child. A few years ago!




Marilyn knits and is indulging me with the gift of arm warmers! Months ago we were at Bamboo Ballroom where I bought a coat with bell sleeves. I commented that my arms were going to be cold when riding and she immediately said arm warmers would be the perfect solution. I love the colour.




So there's this really great baby stuff store on High Street called Bosom Babies. I was just there to browse around with my sister in law when I totally got sold on cloth diapers by this woman who works there. She was just so patient with answering my questions (and they were good answers), and demystified the whole process for me. Last November I had purchased something and it turned out it wasn't going to work so I went back to see if I could get an exchange. Dudes, this was five months after I made the initial purchase and I didn't even have the receipt. Luckily I was in the computer and they were so accommodating with letting me pick something else out. I got Dexter some wooden building blocks, baby friendly sunscreen, and some washcloths. That store is the bomb.




Have you guys noticed that jean jackets are back? When we were in New York I left the hotel with no jacket, thinking it was as warm as the afternoon was. I was wrong. It was shady and windy. So on our way to MOMA I popped into the 5th avenue H&M, found this jacket and purchased it, all in 10 minutes flat. Even though I really like it, I can't help but feel like the Miss Sarah of the late 80s when I'm wearing it.




Marilyn rode her Brompton.






Then we went to Duchess. Now one of my new favourite Edmonton spots. I can eat 15 macarons in one sitting. Yeah. It's disturbing.




We were really lucky to get fantastic weather that day. Dresses!




It's all French inspired inside.




The aforementioned macarons and other equally delectable treats.










I really liked this girl's outfit.




Boots like this just look dumb on me. But they looked great on her.




These were Marilyn's.




Me in my really old but really well loved cork platform sandals.




And lunch. Delicious croissant sandwiches with lattés.




It was a good Wednesday.
