It was my birthday on Sunday and we decided to have brunch at home: oatmeal with banana (a recipe I learnt in Goa), Finnish Runeberg's pastries and real French champagne (a gift from my cousin). Yummy!

Traditional Indian outfits
July is wearing a saree and her mom is wearing some sort of tribal outfit. They are from Karnataka state, but I don't know where exactly. July works in this little shop at Palolem Beach, Goa.
Benaulim
The beach seems infinite in Benaulim, Goa. In fact, it's over 10 km long. And it's so flat that you can ride a bicycle there.
Leaving India
I worked in Bangalore, India for 6 months in 2010. This is the luggage I left with....so yes, I did a "bit" of shopping while in India. And note that this was only my luggage, my husband had his own in addition to these.
Mumbai flip-flops
I bought these gorgeous shoes in Mumbai. I wore them to death in Goa. Now they will need to wait about 4 months before being worn again...

Mojeri
A postcard from Rajastan showing a shoe shop selling the traditional India "mojeri" shoes. I still don't own a pair...
Birthday Card
It's my birthday today and this card seems appropriate also for my Style File. Normally all the cards I receive (or buy) are posted in my other blog (Pink Lady's Postcards).

Sunrise This Morning
Back from the tropics (a month in Goa at +35 C) to arctic weather. I'm not a big fan of cold weather, but that's not to say that it can't be absolutely beautiful. We had such a gorgeous sunrise this morning at 8:50 am that I went outside in my PJs and took some photos right outside our front door.

Hot Pink in Palolem
In Palolem, Goa on Christmas Eve. I'm on the phone with my Mom. I got the dress in Mumbai, the ring in Jaisalmer, Rajastan and the sunglasses in Bangalore. The phone is Nokia.

Back in India!
We spent 5 weeks in India, mostly in Goa but also in Rajastan, Delhi and Mumbai. This photo was taken in Jaisalmer in Rajastan, a small town that we absolutely love! My T-shirt is from the Hard Rock Café in Hurghada, Egypt and the fleece jacket from Halti. I'm about to enjoy an absolutely delicious veg thali lunch, YUM!! It was so great to be in India again and we plan to go back soon. I even bought a self-study package "Teach Yourself Hindi".
Super-cool Hair Style
I'd love to be able to do up my hair like this. But it's too thin and I'm never able to do the messy look even though I want to. My pony tails and buns always end up looking super neat...

Sky in Hawaii
I'm back from Goa and was catching up on reading my fave fashion blog, Fashion Toast. I saw this photo from Hawaii and it really reminds me of Goa. Photos from our 5-week trip to India are coming soon...
