Martian Summer Heat

Summer Heat by greenvogueglam

I don't know about you, but I am steadfastly melting. The air is hot, the iced drinks last for less than 2 seconds, the ground feels like something one might feel when on vacation on Mars, and clothes have become unbearable. 

As I write this, I am literally dying in my undies. Please excuse my bloggeristic nakedness.

With this cataclysmic weather in mind, I managed to put together an apocalyptic inspiration set that contains some of the basic things I would need to feel better:

- a Cosmo. Iced. Served. Keeping it coming.

- some ice-cream. Potentially whole.

- some Bvlgari earrings. One does need to stay fresh in many ways.

- flowers. That don't wilt and die within 5 minutes of entering my sauna like house.

- a new bag. For no reason. It's just sales season.

What do you need during this ridiculous heat wave?

Kiss and Peace

Summer reading - the grandpa we all wish we had

Do you have grandparents? The quirky, funny, slightly annoying kind of grandparents?

I've got an awesome pair of grandparents that I wouldn't change for anything in the world.

But if Alan Karlsson needed a granddaughter to share his adventures with, I would literally kill for him. 

This is the book that last came with me on vacation and it managed to keep me away from my vacation much more that I wish I could admit to. It was funny, unexpected, entertaining and definitely refreshing.

With temperatures soaring into the 40°C/104°F, I was reading about the Swedish geriatric adventurer that evades from his nursing home and embarks on a breathless quest towards nowhere in particular. 

Alan cracked me up, he genuinely impressed me with his unwanted, unwarranted history knowledge, much of which he's had a hand in making it history in the first place.

He is one sinister little old man. My kind of sinister. We're practically sinisterly related.

There is also money, weird twists of events and a elephant. 

Convinced yet?

You can find it on amazon.com, conveniently kindled or papered.

P.S. I hope someday to sit down with Mr. Jonasson, brainstorm cooky ideas, drink vodka and discuss world history. In that order.

Summer Outfit

I absolutely love summer. Especially when I can get out of the shower, get dressed and go out. No fuss. No hair dryer. No coats and jackets and hunch inducing knitted sweaters.

I'm off for my aperitivo!

 

Edit:It's moments like this that make me love living in Italy and having a patient, adorable boyfriend willing to take pics.

Kiss and Peace
