On a beach in Portugal

What could be more divine? A tucked away 'secret' beach and a place in the sun. I was reminded of the recent Miss Universe competition when Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana posed a question on Nude Beaches and its appropriateness. Who cares when the view from top of these candy striped and sherbet coloured swimsuits present such a charmingly pretty picture. Like twizzle sticks and lemon drops in a fabulous sweet shop. 'Covered up' definitely looks more appealing than 'uncovered'. Nude beaches I have to say, (from personal experience, bien sur) are not nearly as conducive to people watching. After all we do know that even if curiosity doesn't kill the cat, it might very well blind you!

Back at you

So much and yet so little. Leave it to the Sartorialist to capture such graceful, magnetic shots. The pictures project such personality and powerful sense of style without even revealing the subject's faces. Undoubtedly, a strong dose of confidence and a toned back do beautiful pictures make.

Floating like a feather & I'm feeling fine...

After a particularly tough week and almost 7000 words typed in the name of research and advancement, its nice to leave everything and just float. I'm going to put my feet up and sip some ice cold coffee. Treat myself to a slice of sugary, buttery toast and watch Up In The Air. Anna Kendrick is stunning. Its the beginning of the week and I'm going to take a break. Yes, I am.
