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.

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.

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...

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


IMG_6188, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

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.

Back in India!


IMG_4722, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
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...
