Destination

Baltimore is home, and home is where the heart is and all, but occasionally a change of pace and weather is necessary, to keep the heart pumping long and strong.  A recent jaunt to Florida, the locales being Delray Beach and Miami, was just the right remedy to brighten up my winter blues. R&R, yummy food, posh accommodations, and fantastic weather set me on pace to brave the heavy world of a holiday season in retail. 

Some of my favorite shots from the trip, through my favorite Instagram filter...

South of France

My most recent Eurotrip took me to the South of France. Small villages, wine country and a lot of castles were the primary objectives. As tourist extraordinaire, with my mother and sister, we covered decent ground between Perpignan, Carcassone and Mirepoix before heading back to Barcelona. 

Lone Ranger

Check this out... A lone Prada "store" in the Lone-Star state of Texas, situated just on the outskirts of the town of Marfa on Route 90. The store is actually an art installation, sans customers or sales people, and consisting of only 20 left-foot shoes and 6 handbags from the Fall/Winter 2005 collection- the same season this installment was resurrected. German artists Elmgree and Dragset built the installation as a "pop architectural land art project", designed to weather the elements and serve as a sort of fashion time capsule. but without much of a plan for longevity. I read that although the building has proper structural support the building materials are all environmentally friendly and biodegradable, and will allow the structure to eventually "melt" into the surrounding landscape with time. I would love to roadtrip and see this lonely, and extremely random ode to fashion before it's too late. Anyone own an RV? Or maybe I'll just have one shipped from Snail Trail across the pond.
