Now that I have lost around 10 kgs, I can sometimes fit into sample sizes...so I have been going to some sample sales lately. This amazing and totally unique sweater was one of my finds, it's by Pierre Cavallo. Love it!

Gadgets as accessories


Furla_USB_stick, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Very slowly but very surely, those who manufacture gadgets of all kinds are starting to realize that they double as accessories and therefore need to be really cute.

Furla has a great line of handbags out of see-through plastic and they come with a memory stick in the shape of the same bag - how cute!

My new toy


Amazon-Kindle, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I just ordered a Kindle!! Actually I ordered the graphite grey one and not the white one since it's apparently easier to read. But I like this photo that I found on-line.

My new baby should be arriving sometime at the beginning of next week - can't wait! I chose the 3G version, which means I can order books and magazines - and read blogs - also on the go. Cool!

Fresh veg


Fresh veg, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
Lovely fresh fruit and veg. I need to be eating much more of these in the near future. I've lost around 10 kgs already and I still have around 6-7 kgs more to lose...and the last kilos are always the hardest. Luckily healthy food is wonderful...as can be seen in the photo. :-)
