sunday

lazy sunday....well not really, started with a spinning class at 10:15 am.  Then grabbed Cooper to get groomed and have some fun with other doggies.  Doggie day care at K9Loft (fyi: amazing dog place). 


Went back home and got ready for breakfast at fred62.  2 eggs, 2 pancakes and hash browns thank you very much. We kicked around los feliz and picked up an amazing black studded belt (to share).  We checked out farmers market behind the dresden.  The vendors were yelling out at us.. samples! pamper your dog! (haha if they only knew).  It was a little strange considering we were the only ones walking thru the market at the time.

We picked up cooper from doggy daycare and he was exhausted from playing all day.  Check out his fancy scarf!

Later on in the day we attended a beautiful and moving ceremony for Spirit at Chaz Dean Studio.  It was perfect;  from the butterflies and the kind words to the sun setting gently during the ceremony.  Spirit's melodic hellos and bye-byes will be missed.


We tried to go out for a drink in Silver Lake but there was no parking.  All day it seemed like we were looking for parking spots,  so we just gave up and went home. (haha) Luckily we remembered that the VMAs were on just in time to see Kanye flip out again.  Gooooooooooo Kanye!  The dude just speaks his mind... it might not be the right place or time but it sure is entertaining....... and the more you think about it, the more it sounds like it was all staged.

friday = date night.   we zipped out of the salon starving... where to go?   Astro Burger of course!  so delicious!  jesse = double cheeseburger and onion rings. anna = bacon burger and fries..  (Actual conversation with the burger dude.... "does your bacon burger come with cheese?" "No. we have bacon avocado cheeseburger, that has cheese"   "no thanks. ok I'll just have a bacon burger".   "Do you want cheese with that?").  we are on our way to see the september issue and end up driving all the freakin' way to the landmark theatre in century city (no thanks to the Flixster app on the iPhone which sent us there saying it was the only theatre in LA that it was playing at ... it was playing at the Arclight in Hollywood we found out after.)  So a few dead end streets and a shortcut down a back alley we made it to the theatre to find out that the director of the movie was there and doing a small talk.  The movie was awesome!!!  We give it 5 stars!  Grace Coddington steals the movie a bit from Anna Wintour, but their relationship is so interesting to watch.  Go see it!!!

jesse's story - I had to do something special. So when she was away on business two weeks ago I attempted to find her the perfect ring. I wasn't able to find the right ring that week and knowing that she was on another business trip a week later I channelled all my energy into making it happen when she left again. The second she turned her cell phone off on Wednesday my plans were under way! I was literally dressed and waiting in the living room for her flight to leave... I didn't want to take ANY chances until I knew her flight was in the air and she wouldn't be able to to call me. I raced to Beverly Hills to see rings but nothing was perfect... none of the rings were the one. Long story short I looked online and found Brilliant Earth. I called them up and spoke to Beth, who helped me out with the ring tremendously. I ordered it that day on Thursday. It arrived that Saturday, just in the nick of time(thank you Beth!) and I set off to get the rest of my surprise together. I made a sign that at first glance looked like one of those chauffeur signs that have a name on them... but mine flipped down and popped the question! I thought this would be the perfect amount of cheese! Ha!

I arrived to LAX way, way, way, early as I couldn't do anything else that morning. I waited in the first chair for what seemed like an eternity, holding onto my sign and checking and re-checking the flight tracker on my iPhone... I didn't want her sneaking down the escalator on me! Thankfully one of her co-workers came down the escalator signaling her eminent arrival! I got into position and the rest just seems like a blur... I was aware of only her even though there was a major hubub of people stopping to watch. Major scene! Ha! When I finally slid the ring onto her finger (After she grabbed it out of my hand saying "no fucking way!") I realized how much of a scene we had caused! It was cute and exciting and kind of embarrassing all at the same time... we ran away to the back of the baggage claim for a quick moment alone! I'm so happy she said yes! (even though she kept repeating "no fucking way!" haha) :)


anna's story - sunday. heading back home to LA from PA.

flight arrived early. yay! jesse is picking me up from the airport. yay. headed to starbucks, like usual for my venti-iced coffee with 4 pumps and knowing that jesse was downstairs to pick me up, i grab one for him, his venti-iced coffee with room for creamer, grabbed him 2 brown sugar packets just in case, cause ya know he likes the brown sugar.....

going down the escalator, i spot him with a sign that read <3 ANNA-LEE <3 just like the car drivers guy's but better. i thought and said "awwww he's such a dork" in a loving he's sooo cute and adorable kinda way :)

i get down the escalator and i walk towards him then out of nowhere the sign flips down and it now reads "<3 ANNA-LEE <3 WILL YOU MARRY ME?" OMG. OMG OMG.i'm kinda lost and shocked during this moment and out of nowhere he goes down on his knee and he asked me to marry him and pops out this amazing ring and i'm just shocked.surprised.and omg is this really happening. this was such a total surprise. i just kept saying "ohmygod" "no fucking way" over and over and of course i said YES to my love. i then saw how many people were staring and smiling at us, haha so we ran off to the far side of baggage claim. got our bags. and headed to manhattan beach for a celebratory dinner and watched the sunset. it was perfect. <3
