These were my fave shoes while on holidays in Goa in Dec-Jan. And my fave purse. Note also the cool toe ring (the wide one); I really love it. I bought it on the beach at Palolem. The shoes were from a department store in Mumbai. They're super comfy.

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.

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 the 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".

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...

IMG_4237, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This is the Versace for H & M dress that I got. It was around 150 euros, which is more than I payed for my wedding dress!! (I got my wedding dress on sale for 100 euros). The dress looks a lot better on me than on the hanger. It's sort of a 20's flapper style. I have a couple of parties to go to next week, so I'll be wearing it already then. With the hot pink Versace for H & M purse of course...and maybe even with the jacket, let's see.

This is the Versace for H & M jacket that I got. It was also 100 euros. It's amazingly soft velvet and I absolutely love it. It's a cropped jacket so it leaves the midriff bare. I'll probably wear it a lot with a black T-shirt & jeans. The hangers were included and they're also covered with soft velvet; so cute.

Versace for H&M, part 1

2011-11-19T11:57:00.002+02:00

IMG_4226, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

H & M has had a lot of campaigns where they cooperate with a big name designer. I've never even been to see what they had on offer, but this time I went to see the Versace for H & M collection. It was payday yesterday and I had just received a bonus for 10 years of service at my company. So I decided to treat myself. I ended up getting a dress, a jacket and a purse. The purse looks like it might be plastic, but it's leather. It cost 100 euros, which is a lot for H & M, but a steal for Versace.

A gorgeous old photo of Brooke. I'm especially admiring her body. Yesterday, I bought a book called "Clean & Lean, Flat Tummy fast!", which is really amazing. It goes into a lot more than just fat loss, such as the reasons for bloating. And I love it's emphasis on health. So I'm hoping to have a body something like this in the near future.

I love this Gant ad - it's very Audrey Hepburn.

Scanned from a magazine.

Great Scott!

Modern take on the kimono, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I saw this cute photo on the Sartorialist blog and simply had to share it. Many young people in Japan now seem to be wearing kimonos again (both guys and girls). They wear the kimonos in the traditional way, but with modern accessories. For more photos, see the link below.

Great photo by the Sartorialist, taken in Stockholm. Wearing Converse sneakers with skirts and dresses seems to be all the rage there. I love the whole look of this girl.

This little guy kept clapping his hands - I think it was his way of advertizing the camel rides.

The photo shows the traditional way of tying a middle Eastern scarf. It's pretty complicated but I was shown how to do it several times so I might be able to do it myself. Note that this is the scarf worn by men in the middle east, women dress differently.

Silk harem pant "dress", or actually a sort of pair of over-alls. I bought it in Palolem Beach, Goa. This was taken at our hotel in Hurghada, Egypt (Grand Resort). The jewelry I'm wearing is silver and turquoise, also from Egypt.

Waiting to go on a quattro (four-wheeled motorbike) safari. Our guide tied our scarves in the traditional way - it's very complicated. It also allows your nose and mouth to be covered when needed.
