Baby’s first visit to a bookstore!
So, where do two book-loving parents take a little explorer on her very first “out-in-the-world” excursion?

A bookstore, of course!

Now that Connor Claire has passed the six-week mark, she’s eager to get out there and start exploring the outside world, beginning with literature.

Checking out the YA section (Mom’s favorite)…
El Hub and I headed to the brand new Novato branch of Copperfield’s Books, an independent bookseller here in the Bay Area.

I slipped Connor into her Moby baby carrier, and we browsed for books for about 30 minutes. Granted, she was sleeping most of the time, but I still think she enjoyed being surrounded by so many books.

Why yes! — I’d love a temporary “cattoo”
We ended up getting her a souvenir to commemorate the occasion, her very own copy of A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh to add to her growing book collection.

Another addition to Connor Claire’s book collection
Yesterday was a day of firsts for Connor Claire. other than her first visit to a bookstore, it was also the day she listened to her very first prince song…

This song was always one of my favorites, but now with Connor Claire, it’s taken on new meaning.

RIP, Prince… I’m still in shock about his passing. His creativity has always inspired me, and it makes my heart heavy to think that the world has lost such a rare gift.

Oh, and did you know that prince also wrote songs for other musicians? I found this story, “15 great prince songs That Were Hits for other Artists,” in Rolling stone really interesting.

Here comes the sun…and Chanel summer 2016
Today I plan to have my favorite prince songs on heavy rotation while I play with Chanel’s summer 2016 collection (I’m wearing it in these pics, by the way) — Raspberry Beret, I Wanna Be Your Lover, little Red Corvette and I would die 4 U.

What’s your favorite prince song? I think it’s impossible to pick just one.

In other, less sad news, today is also earth Day, so happy earth Day to you, my friend. I think Connor and I will celebrate by taking out the recycling.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
