anyhow, my parents are coming to visit tonight! they live out in california and haven't both been out to see me since i moved to new york over a year ago. it should be really nice: dinner tonight, and then tomorrow they are coming to my school for a dessert tasting. i, with the help of my partner, will be making an almond panna cotta surrounded with a spun sugar dome, served with a lavender honey and almond creme anglaise. there are only 2 big projects left after this, and then our FINAL. i am graduating in just over a month. soon after that i'll be back in chicago. i kind of can't believe it. as much as i've been looking forward to moving back to the city i consider home, when i really imagine leaving this place i've grown to love so dearly it's kind of scary.
shirt: dress from anthropologie
shorts: market publique
shoes: payless
these shoes are beyond their last legs. i bought them two christmases ago at a payless for $6. back then, they had 2 inch heels and fully functioning soles. i've worn them down to zero heel and several holes in the soles. but i can't bring myself to throw them away. (it's this kind of behavior that led my mother to throw away beyond-repair shoes, jeans, and favorite shirts during my childhood. like 6 years ago.)
so, i'll try a post or two over the weekend, but with mom and dad in town it's hard to say how much computer time i'll have. have a lovely weekend if i don't get to post tomorrow!
