Fabulous leisurely day! It was soo wonderful to wake up and not have to rush to do anything! We ate breakfast, and weighed the many options of how we could spend our day. We finally decided on starting the day with a visit to Greystone Mansion. It's a house that was owned by the Doheny Family during the 20's - 50's or something, and was the scene of the murder-suicide crime where the dad and his secretary were found dead. It was really beautiful. Although parts were closed off because of an event, you can't go inside the mansion, and the pool was filled in. But it was a sweet place for photo ops, and a sweet place for my future Beverly Hills wedding!
After exploring we went for the cutest lunch ever at the rooftop cafe at Barney's on Wilshire. It was such a quaint, classic restaurant, with such good food options. I was quite torn between the banana berry pancakes and the cranberry chicken salad. I went with the salad on account of the fact that I didn't think i'd be eating enough vegetables today. The three of us all got salads and they were fabulously delicious! And there was a girl at the table behind us that was eating literally a 4 cup bowl of oatmeal! It was huge! And a guy at the table beside us that would literally not stop staring at me, awkward. Because I can never resist tasty sounding treats, I ordered a peach cobbler for dessert that was to die for! After eating we perused the 3rd floor at Barney's and I spied my Marc by Marc Jacobs bag that i'm itching for... the Huge Hillier Hobo bag. In black. I desperately want the purple, but i'm not gonna spend that much on a purple bag. And i'm soooooo black and white right now.
After lunch we were in dire need of a pool to tan by, and Vicky was nice enough to drop her keys off at leigh and dave's so we could tan on her rooftop pool! Today was all about rooftops.
After getting nicely browned, we headed home, cuddled and researched Marc Jacobs bags, organized my finances and decided that I should buy the Hillier Hobo. Yes! We also booked reservations for dinner at the Chateau Marmont and high tea at the Hotel Belair! Then Leigh got home from rehearsal and we made plans to rent a cabana at the pool at the London hotel! So exciting. Then we did a little grocery shopping, and bought delicious banana almond cinnamon smoothies from the health food store for dinner. After a rousing game of word mole, we went downstairs and watched Desperate Housewives. Now it's time for me to go to bed, since we're waking up at 6:20 tomorrow to go to a boot camp class in Griffith Park at 7:15!
