Desk


desksimple, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
For some reason, I never use a desk or table for surfing. I am always sitting either in bed or on the sofa and the laptop is literally in my lap. Of course now we have neither a sofa nor a bed, so I am always sitting on the matress on the floor and leaning up against the wall. But I really love this photo of Rumi and it makes me rethink - should I have a desk of some sort?

I hope to see something like this in Africa some day. I am somehow really into Africa right now; I really want to travel there.

Bath & Fireplace

This is simply the best idea ever and one that I hope to implement some day in my home: the bath right next to the fireplace: the perfect combination. This was also on Freshhome's Facebook page.

Pink & Fluffy

Canal Grande

This may look like Venice, but it's actually the Canal Grande in Trieste, Italy. There's only the one canal.

Bar Cattaruzza

Bar near the stock exchange in Trieste, Italy. That explains the suits, even at +35 C.

Gnocchi


IMG_9064, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Gnocchi (pasta made from potatoes) is one of my favourite things to eat - but only when done well. After eating these absolutely divine gnocchi in Trieste, Italy, I decided that I will never eat them outside Italy again; it's simply not worth it because I am pretty much always dissapointed.

Wrapping Paper


IMG_9053, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
I bought a whole bunch of shoes in Trieste, all at 10 euros a pair. Some of them were very good quality leather shoes, such as the pair that was wrapped in this tissue paper. The text says something to the effect of "luxury shoe craftsmanship".

Roof Terrace

I took this photo during my breakfast at our hotel. I was on the roof terrace, which was absolutly filled with gorgeous flowers. This was the Hotel Tritone in Trieste, Italy.

Cornetti

Perfect little "cornetti" (Italian for croissant) that I had for breakfast at our lovely hotel in Trieste, Italy.

My Home is my Castle

This must be the most beautiful town house I've ever seen: amazing. As seen in Trieste, Italy.

Cameras

This is the lovely fashion blogger Hanneli Mustaparta, as seen in the Jak & Jil fashion blog (which always has the most amazing, very high quality photos). Hanneli is Norwegian in spite of her very Finnish name.

Nowadays, I too often accessorize with a big camera. I'm not yet at the stage where I would carry two.

Chips

I love the fact that in Italy when you order a drink (in this case a gin & tonic), they will automatically bring you also a little snack. Taken in Trieste, Italy.

Rags

It seems that it's highly fashionable to wear jeans that are completely destroyed. Good to know. As seen in the excellent fashion blog by Columbine Smille, here:

Attention to Detail


IMG_0031, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

The bathroom of the bar in the previous post. I really appreciate when a bar or restaurant makes an effort to create a harmonious atmosphere. They do this very well in Asia and this reminds me of the bathrooms of five star hotels in India or China. You don't know what luxury means until you've been to one of those.

Just Chillin'

Scallops

I tried scallops for the first time in Rovinj: they were pretty good, eventhough they looked nothing like the ones they cook in Hell's Kitchen. I am a big Gordon Ramsay fan and I hope to someday taste them in one of his restaurants.

Put on Your Red Shoes & Dance the Blues

I haven't posted other people's photos in a while since I have so many new ones of my own, but I had to re-post this: amazing! I love everything about this photo (check out that floor!) and I really LOVE the shoes. They are by Jean-Michel Cazabat.

As seen in one of my ab fave fashion blogs: Sea of Shoes, here:

Eden

The pool area of the Eden hotel: as the name implies, it really is paradise. It's the first time I've seen a pool area that is surrounded by so many trees. We did not stay at the hotel, we just used their pool. We heard that they don't really mind unless it's really crowded.

Pink Flowers

Flowers photographed in Rovinj, Croatia. We spent five nights there during our holiday.
