La Vida Bohème

vintage tunic maxi dress, Mango rain jacket, havaianas flip flops

• There are days when I have to stop and ask myself how it is that I got so lucky to be able to live in such a majestic place. As the rain passed and the dreary gray moved on, the full moon became so intensely bright, with a ring around it like an insanely beautiful force field and one single bright star.. It is one of those moments that you cannot capture on film, nor express in a painting, even if you tried.
• Full moon partying without a drop of liquor? I am living proof that it is possible. And refreshing, still having the ability to walk in straight lines and not falling asleep over your after-hour snack.
• This is fast becoming one of my favorite island dresses of all times. When I found it, it was falling apart at the seams, but I immediately fell in love with the color, the shape and the length was perfect for my height. I took it home and mended it and last night on its debut, I was stopped several times and asked where I got it. Smugly, I replied: "Vintage, for like, a dollar." And thanks to the insane wind, taking photos of it was extra fun.
  
• I have been a little distracted lately with entertaining guests, and being overfed by my friend Christine and her amazing Bistro, so please forgive me If I have not visited your blog lately.. I have lots of catching up to do today!
• How lame are all these wedding/marriage/proposal shows on TV?
  
• Ecstatic about the release of Euna Lee and Laura Ling from their North Korean prison.. watching them reunite with their families brought on the waterworks this morning.
• Vida Boheme is actually one of my favorite movie characters ever. Have you seen To Wong Foo? Vida is played by no other than Patrick Swayze.

What do you love about living in your island/town/city/country?

lots of ♥, lovelies!
