Double Sided

You know how there is a time in every woman's life when she starts mercilessly attacking stuff with nail polish (!?) (You don't? I suppose it's just me then). Well, my nail polish collection did start growing exponentially this summer, but obviously the expansion of my jewelry collection was not exponential enough and I had to intervene. 


So, since I got this necklace its backside looked almost equally attractive as its front to me. This Saturday, the mix of extreme summer heat and the smell of nail polish obviously got my creative juices flowing. Instead of one, I, now, have two necklaces and one of them even mirrors the season's trends of neon and ombre and not particularly subtly, if I may say. Just because I'm trendy like that...


So, how many nail polish attacks did you have this season?

Some links and a butterfly





These are the five things without which I would not survive today: an electric fan, the TV remote, coffee, a book and closed blinds on all the windows


On a different note, this butterfly was a great model, very cooperative. Probably because it was the day after it finally rained. Although my tiny orange Nikon wasn't up to the task and out of 18 shots only a few can be used. 


Anyway, I wish you a happy July and great plans for this month. In the meantime, let me entertain you.

* It's easy to dream of Holland when it's hundred degrees outside here. At least there you can wear your silver pants and ride your bike where ever you like. (Milica was also thinking of Holland these days.)


* 50 books? Yes, please. I can already tick off about twenty from the list. And I recommend To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee as a starting point.

* And in the end something beautiful.

Good Sunday






So, what can save you after a sizzling hot working week? A pretty Sunday! And the scenario goes like this:

1. Two of your best friends in the world come to town for a seminar, but get bored. They want you to take them out for a coffee, ice cream and some window shopping. It's Sunday, it's 10 in the morning and this city never looks nicer and friendlier.

2. Your friend who works in a bookstore gives you his discount and you buy a book that you've been wanting to read for a while. And then you continue with the math for the rest of the day how much would it cost to buy the other one hundred of books that you liked there.

3. You go for a swim and sunbathing session with your sister to the city lake. You act like you're ten and you use your rubber ballet flats as fish fins. Luckily no pictures taken. There's also a sweet family there with a nervous chiwawa that turns into a zen master when they put him in a little blow up boat and on the water. Sadly, no pictures taken.
