Gallerina for a Night

BCBG Wedge Sandals, Essie Polish in Eternal Optimist

I was cutting it close to the gallery opening, and unless i was going to change my dress or go barefoot (neither of which were options), I was in dire need of tan sandals. It is times like these that I think we are the most fashionably adventurous. Not to say we pick more controversial things, but we try on things we normally would have overlooked. I never would have tried these on ordinarily, but I gave it a shot in the dark and they were adorable! I'm not sure I'm done with neutral-toned shoes, (I need a winter friendly pair!) but for now these are fantastic and QUITE comfortable.

While at the gallery yesterday, I took a quick break to head over to Kraftsmen Baking Cafe for a vanilla ice coffee (they had sugar free syrup! rejoice!). It was a recommendation of Steve's and I have to say he was right, this place was adorable. It is right next to the Montrose Public Library and there is ivy everywhere, with lots of shaded tables. I will definitely return.

And All the Yellow Bunnies... by Wesley Harvey
currently on exhibition at the Anya Tish Gallery

The gallery opening was great! Lots of people turned out and the show looked fantastic (a special thank you to my friends who came out to see what I have been doing down there). If you are in Houston, you really need to come see this show. Now that the video projection on the floor is up and running, the space is stunningly beautiful. It is the epitome of design art. I have yet to see the art downstairs at the Wade Wilson Gallery (I have heard good things), but the exhibits at the Anya Tish Gallery and Barbara Davis Gallery are fantastic as well (and in the same building!), so it is definitely worth a visit.

I have to say, the ceramic works by Wesley Harvey at Anya Tish were absolutely divine. It was a plethora of bunnies, tea cups, and woodland creatures. I have met the artist a few times around the building now, and he is just as sweet as his art.

this is by far the best part of drinking Snapple

When I got home after the opening, I had a spinach and chicken stuffed portobello my dad had made (SO good) and we made maple candies together, which have turned out delicious.

I am going apartment supply shopping today with Candace, and my main goal is to find new ways to organize my shoes, purses and jewelry. I will now have sliding closet doors and therefore can no longer hang things off of the doors the way I used to. Suggestions?
