The most important thing to know about the photo above is that it was taken at 11:45PM, which is officially the latest I have been awake of my own volition on either coast in approximately three years.
The second most important thing to know is that those shoes I'm wearing are $19.99. On Saturday I had half an hour to kill at the mall before my ride to the airport arrived, and I spotted these bright-gold pumps - which aren't too dissimilar from a pair of Giuseppe Zanottis I've been gazing at for awhile - sitting in the window of a random sports-shoe chain store. $19.99?! I mean...come on. Done.
Now, about our night, because it was an unusual one for me. My flight was arriving at 8:55, so I thought that kind of put us out of the running for doing anything much on Saturday night, but when I told Francesca that I didn't mind if we just grabbed take-out and went home her response was, "Oh, no worries, we won't even need to leave my apartment until 11:45", because the place we were going - Giorgio's at The Standard - doesn't even really really get going until midnight.
