Lemon bars, lemon ices, lemon fashion :-), lemon scents! It's a fresh twist especially for desserts that makes tasty treats not unbearably sweet! This obsession is definitely reminiscent of my temporary love with <a href="http://www.fashionfirecracker.blogspot.com/2012/04/grape-fruit-my-flava-of-month.html">grapefruit</a> . . .<br />

I did ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of the trips I go on are for vacationing or to spend time with family. Most recently, I just got back from San Francisco for a business trip. I have never been to San Francisco so aside from chauffeuring the husband to his meetings it was a sight seeing running around seeing the city type of trip. I love those kinds of trips but at the risk of sounding like a senior citizen, man are they tiring. It's safe to say I fell asleep every night the second my head hit the pillow.<br />
<br />
We stayed at the Hilton, a beautiful hotel in the Financial District near the piers and Union Square. We did the major things like cross the Golden Gate Bridge (which is burnt orange), eyed Lombard the crookedest street (aside from Wall St. ;-) visited Alcatraz which I like to call Azkaban, took pictures of the sea lions at Pier 39, watched the Pride Parade, hugged a redwood tree in Muir Woods, and drank wine at a winery in Napa Valley. I was quite the busy bee :)<br />
<br />
If you've visited San Francisco before what did you enjoy during your visit?<br />
<br />

Vegan (faux), real, black, purple, for my feet, for my butt! It adds just the right edge to an outfit. Just be careful about using too much at once :) I have been lucky enough to find all of my leather pieces at <a href="http://www.avalonexchange.com/">my fave consignment shop</a>. <a href="http://fashionfirecracker.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-to-do-for-new-years.html">This</a> purple leather skirt, the skirt in this post, and most recently a rad leather vest that you'll be seeing soon that makes me feel like popping a wheely.<br />
<br />
How do you incorporate (vegan) leather into your wardrobe? Are you a lover or a hater?<br />

Deviled eggs are popular in my house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Really popular. Like fly off the table as soon as I set it down popular. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are a pretty standard dish so when I hosted a grad party for my mother I thought "let's serve it with a twist - a pretty twist." I'm a sucker for presentation and pretty food especially pretty food that tastes good so when I found this version on Cupcakes and Cashmere I was like der! </div>

Recipe:<br />
Inspired by <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/holiday-appetizers/">CupcakesandCashmere</a> and Source <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Beet-Pickled-Deviled-Eggs-356011">Here</a><br />
<br />
Heads up for this Recipe there is sugar in the pickling mixture if you don't want your eggs to have a slightly sweet taste ditch the sugar or make the eggs a little but spicer ;-)<br />
<br />
3 cups water<br />
1 cup distilled white vinegar<br />
1 small beet, peeled and sliced<br />
1 small shallot, sliced<br />
1 teaspoon sugar<br />
1 bay leaf<br />
12 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled<br />
1/3 cup mayonnaise<br />
1 tablespoon grainy mustard<br />
1 teaspoon Hot Sauce<br />
Sweet Paprika, to taste <i>(I used chives)</i><br />
<br />
<strong>Directions:</strong><br />
Bring
water, vinegar, beet, shallot, sugar, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt
to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then simmer, covered, until beet is
tender, about 20 minutes. Cool completely, uncovered. Put beet mixture
in a container with eggs and marinate, chilled, gently stirring once or
twice, for 2-6 hours.<br />
<br />
Remove eggs from beet mixture and pat dry
(discard beet mixture). Cut in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Mash
yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and Siracha sauce. Season with salt and
pepper, then divide among egg whites and sprinkle with paprika.<br />

I am so lucky I get to travel as much as I do but is it terrible of me to say that sometime all I really want to do is sleep in my king size bed, 1000 thread count sheets, and lush down comforter?<br />

Back in May I went to visit my father in NYC to celebrate his 60th birthday. It was really special because most of my many family members traveled to New York for it! I love my Krazy Kamensky family!! </div>

There is such a Thing But Why Now?Purim - the Jewish version of Halloween is just around the corner! Purim (prounounced Pur-im - pur rhymes with fur) has always been one of my favorite holidays (tying with Chanukah.) Sorry to get all heavy on you but it's all about celebrating G-d's hidden hand in once again saving the Jewish people from the villain du jour - in this case Haman. The theme of Purim is all about things that are hidden and more importantly how G-d hid Himself. And we get to dress up! (again to symbolize the hiding business) And instead of going house to house to get candy from people we deliver fun food baskets to our friends and family! For more details on the holiday click <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/645309/jewish/What-Is-Purim.htm"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>.<br />
<br />
This year I am going to New York City for Purim to be with the other half of my family so I kinda get out of the whole giving to other people but friends and family you know where I live so don't forget to deliver 'cause I wanna see some fun packages when I get home ;) jk.<br />
<br />
So dressing up . . . . women usually go the slutty route or not at all. I say lets shake things up and make this Purim chic! Here are 5 ideas from around the intertubes on how to find a sophisticated costume. You can interpret these costume ideas any way you want dialing the sexy down or up!<br />

Starting from Carrie from Sex and the City tutu skirts have always been current and on point in fashion! Pair a big pink tulle skirt or short chiffon skirt with a plain black T or crop top, T-strap heels or ballet flats, and a high bun. I love this style because it is so feminine and flattering! American Apparel Always has a tutu skirts in stock and are now even on sale!<br />

I baked it we ate it we loved it. I didn't love the after taste it had though, just like other chocolate cakes it left a dry kinda of taste in my mouth. Then at Thanksgiving dinner Shifra, one of the other guests, made a chocolate cake that was not only just as delicious but no weird dry after taste! Shifra's was moist and tasty and fluffy and yummy and juuuuust right. So of course I HAD to get the recipe from her and recreate it! Thanks Shifra!<br />

<div class="p1">
Combine all dry ingredients. Add everything else except the boiling water. Mix well and then add boiling water. Pour in a greased pan and bake on 350 for about 40-45 minutes. I baked it into (2) 9 inch cake pans.<br />

1 extra large egg yolk at room temperature (or use egg white powder)</div>

<div class="p1">
1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder - I used Starbucks ground to Turkish</div>

Chop the chocolate and place it in a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until just melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.<br />
<br />
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and continue beating. Turn the mixture on low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar then on medium until smooth and creamy. Dissolve the Turkish ground coffee or instant coffee in teaspoons of the hottest tap water. On a low speed, add the chocolate and coffee to the butter mixture and mix until blended. Don't whip! Spread immediately on the cooled cake(s.) If you refrigerate the frosting it will get hard, just microwave it in 5-10 second increments until its a spreadable texture.<br />

Hey ya'll! It has been forever or more like 7 months. How embarrassing!<br />
<br />
I first started blogging about a 1 1/2 ago and I have to admit I kind of got lost in it. I took a couple steps back and got more involved in work and I forgot to take those steps back toward it - Whoops!<br />
<br />
I also want to say thank you to everyone who has ever mentioned or walked up to me to ask where are posts already! So here it is . . . . .<br />
<br />
Carnival Pride Cruise!<br />
<br />
Now Gary and I have made our rounds, Cancun, Vegas, Japan, Dominican but we never tried cruising before (as the cruising veterans call it.) I'm telling you now it was AWESOME!! It was seriously a floating hotel and I loved every minute of my stay. We left from Baltimore heading to the Bahamas for a 7 day cruise and I was worried we would be bored until we reached warmer weather. But we were always busy! They had an loads of activities and every night they would deliver a schedule of everything that was happening on the ship. They had a lot of great things that adults would appreciate as well like really funny comedians, formal dining nights (my favorite!!), and a night club. So suffice it to say we were never bored (and very often drunk :) <br />
<br />
A couple things to keep in mind when cruising:<br />
<br />
1. Purchase bottles of liquor and have it delivered to your room through a service the cruise offers or pre-purchase a drink plan. Average drink price is $8-$9.<br />
2. They have many dining options available for those of you who have dietary needs - like vegatarian, low sugar, and kosher food.<br />
3. Pack both summer and winter clothes when traveling during the winter - especially since the cruise ship was kept at a very cool temperature.<br />
4. A lot of people dressed formally every night for dinner so I will definitely be bringing more dresses on my next cruise (aw man ;-)<br />
5. Internet is hella expensive even preordered plans will run you $90 for 2 hours and make sure to download all your books on your kindle before you board the ship.<br />
6. Turn your phone on airplane mode to avoid roaming charges to still use your phone for other things.<br />
7. The cruise offers excursions like jeeping or snorkeling that you can book through them if you want. It's expensive ($60-$150) and I would suggest booking on whether or not you just want to chill or run around and see stuff. It's nice to book through the cruise cause if for example a bus breaks down or something happens they will contact the ship and they will wait for you at the port.<br />
8. If you want to just go to the beach at Port Canaveral I would suggest taking a taxi. A lot of people a lot of people will solicit you to take their shuttle once you get off the ship. We took a shuttle and it stopped by a small market that had nothing of interest there and we had to wait for another shuttle to take us to the beach. <br />
9. Book a cruise! They are amazing!<br />
<br />

I love that store. Everything is fun, classic and timeless and most importantly modest. Most of the time I walk out with a purchase because everything is so beautiful.<br />

This is a gorgeous hi-lo skirt I drooled over when I saw it online. The perfect neutral <span style="background-color: white;">tank </span><span style="background-color: white;">day dress! BCBG was having a super sale of an extra 20% off all their sale merchandise so I thought I would give it a try! OOOoo I was not expecting this when I tried it on ^</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fit:</b> <span style="background-color: white;">I like clingy because who likes to get lost in a garment? But seeing the indentation of my belly button? Too much! I picked up an XXS and an XS and they differed very little in circled ares - even the length?!<br /><br /><b>Price:</b> One of the methods I use when shopping - I pick things up I like, I try them on and if doesn't fit or werk I don't even bother with the price tag. Buuut if something werks with my figure/shape and I LOVE it, a and I can't stop thinking about - yes I get that way with clothes - I check out the price and then debate on getting it lol. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Basically</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I don't know how much this dress cost lol. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Fit:</b> I think I picked up a small. I could've gone bigger or smaller because its like wearing a bright green (chartreuse) spanx - it hugs and snugs you in :-). I have a weakness for pencil skirts. Whoever invented them was a genius - figuring how to make a woman's waist look small and curves look, well curvier ;-) just amazing! Thank you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Price:</b> This was originally $148. It was 60% off and was an additional 20% off - making it $77 and some change. A worthwhile splurge in my opinion. Extra bonus - I lugged myself to Ross Park Mall so technically I saved on shipping too lol! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Other factors:</b> </span><span style="background-color: white;">I love the length of this skirt! Being a pencil skirt it sits high my waistline I can tug it down to be more modest (as pictured) or hike it up a little for nights out ;-)</span></div>

I am sure you remember a little contest I entered a while back. I won two gift cards - <a href="http://fashionfirecracker.blogspot.com/2012/06/welcome-to-my-closet-score.html" target="_blank">one to Free People</a> and one to Anthropologie. After July 1st w/ my birthday coupon (July 23 cause I know you are wondering ;-) and my gift card in hand I hurried to make the current summer sale they were running. I got two pieces. The printed sheer cardigan which is so much prettier in real life and the bright blue cerulean netted dress/top. I think I'll settle on calling it a chic beach cover up. I haven't figured it out yet but as soon as I do I will sharing it with you. I also picked up this <a href="http://fashionfirecracker.blogspot.com/2012/07/travel-diary-red-hot-n-blue-in-bmore.html" target="_blank">really cute polka dot top</a> and my beloved chartreuse BCBG skirt - which can be paired with all three tops pictured!<br />

And the traveling continues!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
I would love to stick in a post of a yummy recipe or fun nails or a mind blowing creative DIY but between traveling, work, working out, crashing on the couch, and the awful suffocating heat I am pooped!<br />
<br />
I was so tired last Friday we almost didn't make it to Baltimore. I decided last minute I would gird my loins and just make the trip because who doesn't love a quick weekend getaway!<br />
<br />
Why Baltimore? Really no good reason than it's really close to Pittsburgh and I have never visited the Inner Harbor. We also got a chance to visit Gary's sister Lisa - it's always so nice to catch up with family!<br />
<br />
There was a lot to see during the day! They had ships from the 1800's, an aquarium, and the biggest Barnes & Noble I have seen yet! We stayed in a charming hotel called Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore - funny name right! Lovely hotel yucky neighborhood! Let's just say when we took a stroll at night I clung to Gary regardless of the fact that there was a police officer on every corner - a simultaneously reassuring and troubling thought.<br />

Keepin it fresh!<br />
<br />
Two years ago we had a backyard "BBQ" with lasagna, ice cream, and jello shots - because I hate meat. Last year we were in Cancun - not so patriotic there whoops!<br />
<br />
This year I worked at LaVida for a partial day, did some shopping with a friend (post coming soon!) and headed to fireworks with my main man Gary! I am surprised we had energy to get drinks after with the heat but hey who doesn't have energy when it comes to delicious frozen alcoholic beverages :-)<br />

<br />
There are times when we just get so restless that we will do anything to just git outa town! We made the quick drive from Pittsburgh to Sandusky, Ohio in three short hours <span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">last Saturday night. T</span><span style="background-color: white;">he 70 mph would've been awesome if there wasn't road work every ten miles?! We stayed in a cheapo Days Inn hotel a couple miles away from you guessed it Cedar Point Amusement park. </span><br />
<br />
Fun facts about the hotel we stayed in:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Never sleep in a room across the ice machine you WILL stay up all night.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Double bed rooms suck. </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">While I refuse to sleep in a </span><span style="background-color: white;">separate</span><span style="background-color: white;"> bed then my husband, he is much taller than me (full 12 inch difference) and he hogs up a lot of space in the full sized bed and I neeeed my sleeping space like most Kamensky's (my maiden name.) I stuck it out for love. </span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Also . . . the power went out for hours after the storm and the internet went down and they didn't let us use the pool after the storm :-P</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
It's always interesting going to amusement parks with Gary since he is a Grandpa and doesn't love rides. He says he does it because he likes to watch my face filled with glee as we twist and turn and go upside down on nauseating ridess. * Siiiiiiiiiigh * I like going to appease my inner child.<br />

All in all a good trip because I got to have my lover all to myself :-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243308718094223404.post-14998938530030541042012-06-27T14:57:00.000-04:002012-06-27T14:57:27.498-04:00Welcome to My Closet Score!I've been soo obsessed with bright colored nails that if for one day they are bare I get really self conscious and try to hide them. As you can see my newest additions are exactly that - Bold, Bright, Summery COLORS!!<br />
<br />
Love me some colors. Maybe its the crazy ginger in me but I have to be splashed with color or else I feel depressed (as if my red hair wasn't enough color)<br />
<br />
Do you like my new colors? What colors are you feening this season?<br />
<br />
Can you use feening that way?<br />

So you remember that <a href="http://fashionfirecracker.blogspot.com/2012/06/featured-and-giveaway-score.html" target="_blank">Bakery Square Contest</a> right? So yesterday after an orientation at my new gym Urban Active (located in Bakery Square as well) I put that $50 gift card to Free People to good use.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I picket up a comfy pretty lacey coral shirt for $29.95 - available in grey and white but obviously I gravitated to the one color they do have. It has a wide neckline and is versatile in a way that can be worn in summer or winter and of course two statement necklaces $9.95 each a total of $51.25 so baaasicly on budget :-)</span><br />
<br />
Wondering about the Anthorpologie one? Well I recently got a 15% off coupon for my birthday that can only be used in July, so I am waiting till to get maximum usage ;-)<br />

I loved the visiting Japan so much! It has the most amazing, graceful, kind, and refined culture I have seen yet. Our last day was bittersweet - I was so excited to returen to the comforts of my home but sad to say goodbye to an old <span style="background-color: white;">beautiful </span><span style="background-color: white;">culturally rich country. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
Certain things I picked up on:<br />
<br />
1. No one speaks perfect English - I welcomed this because I felt more engulfed in the culture<br />
- but being able to speak English is a status symbol<br />
2. Y<span style="background-color: white;">ou will be able to find many delicious French bakeries because f</span><span style="background-color: white;">rench pastries are very popular </span><br />
3. Japan is very clean and no one and I mean NO ONE litters<br />
4. Walk on the left side not the right<br />
5. There are multiple types of thank you's<br />
6. A sushi chef has the equivalence of importance as a doctor does in the U.S.<br />
7. There are still Japanese women who dress in a kimono or yukata that you'll see on the street<br />
8. Genuine Geisha are hard to come by<br />
9. Deer are sacred and you will not find it on the menu in Japan<br />
10. The Japanese will eat ANY kind of seafood<br />
11. Fruits and vegetables are mostly imported and are difficult to grow in Japan<br />
12. While jeans and t's can be sighted, most people including cab drivers wear suits even at <br />
12 am<br />
13. It is completely normal for girls to wear really short skirts but not a hint of cleavage will be seen<br />
14. The subway system is REALLY easy<br />
15. The bars and clubs are really clean for bars and clubs<br />
i.e. no sleezy guys, dirty sticky floors, or picture taking<br />
16. The Japanese love lines - will line up to get on the train, wait for an escalator, really anything!<br />
17. People either have flip phones or Iphones?!<br />
18. You take your shoes off before entering a dress room<br />
19. The sales associate in a store will sometimes walk your bag to the exit of the store and<br />
then hand it to you<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last Day</span><br />
We woke up at 8 am to visit the fish market but couldn't quite manage to get up at 4am to see the auctioning off of the prime cuts of fish to wholesalers. We did however enjoy the freshest sushi breakfast we will ever have and two cups huge glasses of sake complimentry of a new friend.<br />

Soooooo much to post!!!<br />
<br />
I could probably do five more posts but I'll try to limit it to make one more besides this - folks me doing 6 posts on Japan is considered restraint! Ha! Lol! Thanks for putting up with me!<br />
<br />
We knew this was our second to last day and last night in Japan so we really ran around town to see as much as possible! We went to see the Toyota Showroom one of the biggest in Japan! Apparently Lexus isn't sold in Japan they just have fancier Toyotas?!<br />
<br />
We then went to Harajuku doing our best to beat the weather! We also went to window shop at Shibuya 109 which is filled with crazy funky trendy stores and crazy funky trendy dressed people. I took a bunch of street style pics - my eye ballss were literally falling out of their sockets!!! (I'll do a trend report in my next post) After Harajuku we went to the hotel took a breather and went out again for lunch to the only kosher restaurant in Japan. The Jewess inside me was thanking me so hard for feeding her a much needed bagel and falafel after too much fish and rice and veggies.<br />
<br />
After lunch we were pooped and and once nightfall came we headed to see the Tokyo Sky Tree and got din din (fish, rice, veggies, and sake).<br />

Holiday<br />
<br />
After dinner with Dr. Okada we ran to the Shinkansen to catch the next 200 mph train to Tokyo to make it before sun down which we did :-). We relaxed and toured the area that we were staying on Sat - Mon. (because as a religious Jewess I observed the holiday <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/609663/jewish/What-Is-Shavuot.htm" target="_blank">Shavous</a>) We stayed at the <a href="http://www.hotelmonterey.co.jp/cgi-bin/portal/cms/hotelindex.cgi?hid=mongin" target="_blank">Hotel Monteray La Soeur Ginza</a> (I know its a mouthful) and totally lucked out with the location having blindly booked hoping for the best - the area is super high end with stores like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Harry Winston literally just around the corner.<br />
<br />
Day (Night) 7<br />
<br />
To take advantage of every moment we were in Japan, Monday night after sundown, we hightailed it over to <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">Oedo Onsen, a </span>24 hour hot springs "theme park" as the Japanese translate it to English - but basically a hot springs spa. We stripped down and dressed in a Yakata, a traditional Japanese robe and set about to relax as much as possible. The men and women's areas hot springs baths were completely separate but we were able to do the foot baths and the relaxation room together which was nice. I suffer from major separation anxiety whenever I am apart from him so we kept the bathing to a minimum.<br />
<br />
Day 8<br />
<br />
We started really early to make up for lost time . . . and when I say early I mean wake up at 6:30 am and hit the road or in this case subway by 8! <br />
<br />
This is very unusual for me considering when we go on vacation I am adamant about sleeping in! I refuse to rise before 10! Japan is a different story though. How often will I get to go to Japan? Don't want to miss a moment!<br />
<br />
We headed to the tourist information center in the train station which suggested we take a bus tour of Tokyo. To kill time waiting for the tour we walked around and eventually pooped we headed to Starbucks - they had Matcha or green tea frappachinos - weird! I settled for a green tea giant maccaron :-) Gary settled for a giant water bottle :-)<br />
<br />
After the tour we went back to the hotel to change into more appropriate attire to easier stomp around the city. It was so hot we did a whole outfit change! To the Imperial Palace - or the gates cause we weren't allowed into the actual thing - we went. Our next stop was the aquarium! Not as impressive as <a href="http://www.marinelandcanada.com/" target="_blank">Marine Land</a> but triple as entertaining to listen to everything in Japanese ;-)<br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 4: Friday, May 25</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kyoto & Nara</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Gary played hooky (for those youngins that means to ditch on an activity) on his conference so we could tour more of Japan. We decided upon Kyoto, which used to be the capitol of Japan, the home of the Imperial family, and where many shrines and temples are. We added Nara to the tour based on the sole fact that we would get to pet deer. Deer are holy according to Shintuism and the Japanese don't eat them. Many deer can be found near the Big Buddha and other revered locations.<br />
<br />
After our exhausting day out, where we met many single travelers who had a lot to say along with an Israeli couple which we shared heated conversations with, we headed back to Nagoyo to break bread - or in this case sushi with Gary's boss Dr. Hideo Okada who is originally from Japan. He is well aware that we keep kosher and are vegatarian so he ordered for us at a traditional Japanese restaurant accordingly. I took photos of the food we didnt eat because well - it just looks entertaining! You'll see . . . .<br />

Yay! I am now a published blogger!<br />

Now back to blogging . . . .<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Day 3</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Last night after I published the first post for Japan, Gary got this idea we should try to find clothes for the next day, I was sooo tired and zonked but I knew Gary NEEDED clothes - I had an extra pair of necessities packed on my carry on so I wasn't in dire need of a change of clothes. We called the front desk and they told us about a store called Don Kyoto (probably not spelling that right :-( . We were shocked that a store was open at 11:45 pm but we were even more surprised that they would sell formal wear. We grabbed a cab (he pressed a button and the door automatically swung open how cool is that!) and took us to a store that is a cross between Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid, and an arcade place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They had EVERYTHING! Mega packs of fake eyelashes, restaurants, arcade games, bedding, toiletries, suits, sex toys, pots and pans, kimonos - when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! I grabbed a shirt, skit, and a bra - I never travel in one waaaay too uncomfy, and Gary bought a tie, shoes, t-shirts, and a white dress shirt. Gary is 6' tall and very broad and the store may have had everything but the kitchen sink but they did NOT have normal American sizing! The biggest size they had was a 30''?!<br />
<br />
We woke up at the crack of dawn even though we went to bed really late, Gary got coffee and I got sweet bread covered with ice cream (I swear it looked like whipped cream in the picture) and a cinnamon latte. After a power breakfast we headed to Nagoya Central Station because they had a mall there and we were still on a quest to find Gary pants. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After searching all the stores and with no results it was time to call in back up. Masasuki, a collegue of Gary's that did research in Pittsburgh and moved back to Nagoya, was called and he called his wife and recommended an amazing store with affordable pants in the correct size! Yay!! Mission accomplished. We headed to the Nagoya Conference Center ASAP and Gary made it in time to present!<br />
<br />
He doesn't let me watch but knowing him, he knocked the audience's socks off! While he was presenting I chilled with my kindle and as soon as he was finished we hopped on a train to buy a dress for the Presidential Dinner for the conference. I went reaallly conservative with the clothes not wanting to offend anyone or stand out too much. Like that will ever happen with this head of hair . . . . </div>

Good news! My luggage came in tonight! Just in time! I really needed my new hiking shoes - the only practical pair of shoes I own - for tomorrow cause to Nara and Kyoto we go!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243308718094223404.post-77009078964066769552012-05-23T11:28:00.000-04:002012-06-04T22:48:30.794-04:00Travel Diary: Japan Part I<span style="font-size: large;">Day 1</span><br />
<br />
Whoooooa I am ZONKED!<br />
<br />
Its Wednesday 8:45 am in Pittsburgh and 11:45 pm in Japan - we've been traveling since 12 pm on Tuesday! Traveling can be such a mess!!!<br />
<br />
Everything was fine while we were waiting in the United Lounge and we left to go to our gate on time to only realize it was delayed to the point where we missed our connecting flight in Chicago! We had to wait on a HUGE line to try to figure it out but luckily they switched our flight from United to American Airlines and the downside . . . . we lost all our specifications we requested a week earlier like roomier seating for Gary's injured leg and kosher food.<br />
<br />
The flight attendants looked at us like we were crazy when we asked if there was by any chance kosher or vegetarian food "Guys you need to order that at least 24 hours in advance" my reply was "Ma'am we are lucky we are on this flight even!"<br />
<br />
As if we wanted to switch our international tickets last minute?!<br />
<br />
The best (worst) part . . . . yup you guessed it! With all the confusion and switching of flights they lost our luggage! Gary is going to scramble to find a suit to present in and no outfit posts until I can buy or get my luggage :-(<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Day 2</span><br />
<br />
Another plane ride from Tokyo to Nagoya and two train rides later we made it to our hotel! Prime location baby! Just half a block from the subway!<br />
<br />
My first thoughts:<br />
<br />
By the time we hit Nagoya train station it was 10 pm and the station was bustling! A lot of the girls were dressed really juvenile like something you would see in an anime comic book (flowy dresses, huge hair, platform shoes) but most were dressed really formal and I mean black business suits on men and women, black tie, black brief case . . . basically a sea of young and old professionals dressed in black and white. I wonder if all these people were really working until 10 pm - now that's what you call work ethic!<br />
<br />
As we attempt to navigate the country the people who we have asked for help so far have been very eager to help and so polite!<br />

I right away pinned a photo of the nails because they looked AMAZING and I didn't want it to lose the link like I've lost many a good DIY tutorials in the mess of the interwebs.<br />
<br />
I loved that galaxy nails don't require a crazy technique or colors I wouldn't be able to find!<br />
<br />
It's been so long since I've done a Pinspiration post and but I suck at this consistency thing but hey I made it to #3!<br />
