I think sometimes the shortest statements are the most powerful

Perhaps I could become the very first Bird-Burgler

And steal this wonderful display from the Museum of Decorative Arts.

Holy mother of shoe gods, I've been in style since the 1800s!

Top photo: my most comfortable and favorite pair of shoes ever, and the source of years of ridicule.
Bottom photo: my revenge, aka a shoe display at the Museum of Decorative Arts, Paris.

Coincidence? I think not.

Marie Antoinette made me do it.

Sofia Coppola has had me obsessed with macaroons since the movie came out, and Laduree ALWAYS delivers on getting me to my happy place while in Paris.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge: the celebration

I don't know what came over me (perhaps my love of donuts my boyfriend?) but in the days leading up to the KK Challenge, I decided to make trophies to celebrate the guys' efforts.

Who knew that rendering a donut into an incombustible mass would be such hard work?

Who also thought about the fact that the LAST thing that two people who just ate a dozen donuts would want to see is... another donut?

The Krispy Kreme Challenge: the backstory

For all the SERIOUS runners out there, in Raleigh there's this thing called The Krispy Kreme Challenge each year that consists of running 2 miles, eating a dozen donuts (without throwing up) and running 2 miles to the finish line.

My boyfriend and his good friend were running it, so I was there on the frontline capturing the true grit of the event. Of course, I missed them eating (and not puking), but there's always next year, right guys??

PS. This event is strictly for charity of course, not for Krispy Kreme higher-ups to laugh at the calorie consumption of the Raleigh public.
