NUOVI ASCOLTI


Prendete i cari vecchi Smiths e portateli a New York ed avrete i The Drums!
Ecco una loro massima:"..amiamo le canzoni corte e belle con melodie tristi e perfette....la musica allegra è per i bambini.Credo sarebbe da persona non sincera scrivere musica felice quando attorno hai un aurea da essere umano miserabile.E' tutta una questione di onestà,non puoi sentire quello che non senti." ?!?!?!?!?!?!?Auch......
Bhe ecco a voi copertina e video....


THE Movie.. (Sex and the City 2review)


Well, I finally saw Sex and the City and I have to be honest and admit something a lot of fellow fashionbloggers will disagree with. I thought the movie wasn't that great...
I mean, of course, the fashion was fabulous.. Some dresses were to die for and the outfits were amazing. I actually really enjoined the outfits when they were younger. What they wear is so wrong in our timeperspective but back then I guess they looked pretty hot (except for Miranda('s hair) of course.. sorry!) And of course, the movie had the Sex and the City feeling you have after an episode but I think because it is so long and streched it loses the real spirit and the real characters. They all had something of the characters but I just felt they were just not there, not like in the serie. So in short, its too long and that ruins actually everything because the characters just lose their powerful flame. I really exspected more, so I was dissapointed. It was still a lovely night and I don't regret seeing it.

To let you see something else then complaining and nagging about the movie, here is what I wore that day. I tried to do something different with my hair.. Oh, wait.. I have to admit else also.. I'm terrible with hair so (shameshame) my mom did it... Ah well, it was for one evening. I'm wearing a zara skirt, H&M top and my Van Haaren Wedges.








I just went out with two friends of mine.. Had some fabulous cocktails (a Bellini Cherry? and a Mojito Strawberry). Now I'm tired and have to pack for theatercamp Thaleia. I guess this will be a goodbye again for a whole week! :( But I do have a few posts in mind so just wait patiently and then I will update very soon...

PS: I got a new ring :) I'm really happy about it! Hopefully this one won't break right away....

Squeals of Delight







If you were standing in Heathrow airport this afternoon you would have heard squeals of delight when the lovely Kate and my daughter, Miss Claire first caught sight of each other. They were BFF (Best Friends Forever) in Auckland, where we moved from at the end of 2009.  Kate was one of the friends that was there at the end, the one who shared and passed the tissue with us as we spent the last day in the country we called home. Here we are seven months on and the lovely Kate has graced us with her warm smile and bubbly nature once again.


I was grinning from ear to ear on the ride home just listening to the two of them. You would never know that they talk on Facebook nearly every day and then some. No matter, you know what it is like when you catch up with someone you have not seen in a while....it feels like it was just yesterday.

A gaggle of girls jumping with joy last year...

rowing together...

Not sure if they are checking out the races 
or the boys in their zooties:)

The effervescent Miss Kate

Kate travelled from New Zealand to England on her own...that kiwi ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.
Do you remember when you were 17?  A trip driving solo from my home town to the mall 
in the next town was about as far as I got and I thought that was pretty cool! 

I wanted to make sure Kate feels comfortable after a long journey
so I put on my thinking cap and thought like a teenager....

A little night time reading provided by Miss Claire...

Lots of pillows to sink back into and sigh...

Flowers from the garden to remind her of home...


A few essentials to wash away the memories of the flight...

Two weeks and lots to see...
They are going to have a ball!

Thought I would share a little teenage lingo with you that I picked up over dinner.
Ever wondered what all these abbreviations stand for that they use in their conversations?
I do and here is what they told me.

TTYL- talk to you later
TTFN- ta ta for now
TTFG- ta ta for good
BRB- be right back
NVM- never mind
WU2- what you up to?
NM- nothing much
JW- just wondering
DW- don't worry
GTG- got to go
BFF- best friends forever
ILY- i love you
LOL- laugh out loud and or lots of love

and one I made up BBF- best blogging friend

With that I say
TTFN

Thinking Green and White




It is a hot summer's day
and I am thinking green, 
all shades of it..
emerald, sea green, mint, aquamarine, forest, chartreuse, 
moss, sage, viridian, lime, spring green, apple
I am thinking how much I love them with white.
An accent here, an accent there...
Green is life. White is fresh.
Bringing the outdoors in,
winter or summer,
even the slightest hint
and I feel calm again.
Time for tea...iced green tea
join me?








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and the perfect way to end a green and white summer's day...


at a beach house...


with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc!

Green and white :)

MSN iPhone App


MSN Annex iPhone will always be good to go. Millions of users worldwide, MSN Messenger for many applications, instant messaging options.

Many of us are now in the chat services in connection with email, so that the issue of the MSN Messenger application, always look forward to hearing, especially the iPhone aims to bring their iPhones MSN.

Basic free version can be downloaded directly to your Apple iPhone App Store with its own. While the free version is useful, many will be disappointed in how easy it seems to lose the connection. Tolerance of low frequency signal is poor, and you may find more often than we want. This is especially frustrating if you do not realize it came out, and instead began to wonder why the other person suddenly ignores you!

So what to make of all this? Well, that application will be sufficient to leave many disappointed. Performance devices such as Blackberry is not much better, which will convince many to shop around. site review application is increasing. Knowing that at the time may file an application for everybody, not imply that it is possible to put them all in one device units for demanding applications market about how they use that space.

iPhone 4 and the Preordering Issue


4 iPhone will be released very soon, and many people tried to reserve my iPhone, but seems impossible to even get it. So when you look forward to the new iPhone, you must remember that you may have to wait until they came to the store for you purchase. The question that the apple was, was that many people trying to live the new iPhone on its website that the server is down and made it impossible for people to complete the process directly. This means that you can not get iPhonebefore-else, and you have the noise to the nearest phone company and buy the iPhone 4 in the store.

However, the iPhone sold out in April, despite its problems, which had been Apple's servers. So if you own an iPhone lucky we are 4 books in advance and ready for shipment when the phone is released, you will not have to throw the phone store. But for others, not, be sure to arrive with your telephone company as possible when the iPhone is released in April, so it does not get any complication.

These tips are very helpful in your situation, have preordered the phone. You see, if with a mind of its help you can get the phone as fast if not faster than those who have already ordered for her.

Test and Keep an iPhone 4 - Are These Offers For Real?


There are many websites that offer online giving away free stuff, like the iPhone, or even iPads laptops and video cameras and other devices. But can we trust these ads, or are just scams? In answering this question we have to get deeper into the subject. First, large companies are paying for free stuff long before the advent of the Internet.

The reason for this policy is very simple. Marketing departments have discovered that people who give things for free, and increase them in front of his friends, which eventually may become interested in some products themselves. And because the proposal did not last long, will have no choice but to buy.

The same principle still applies today, and people have learned to use gadgets to get hot on the market for free. Normally, people who receive free stuff are invited to complete a questionnaire about the product, the manufacturer submit a comment or think about where the product improves cold.

The latest gadget there - the new iPhone will not make exceptions. You can get it for free in exchange for completing various tasks, such as those announced earlier. And if you do, you have to lose? You could end one of the best free gadgets.

Summer Sundays and the Sea




I can't tell you how much fun it is to create these 'meme's for Summer Sundays.
It really has been the next best thing to being there for me.
If you are interested visit The Tablescaper and join in the fun.

I grew up along the sea, in a small town outside of Boston.
It is along Cape Ann and has a rich history but more importantly it is filled with
wonderful people. It hasn't changed much in the many years since I moved away.
That in itself is a treat for me and my family each time we return.




I like to think that I go to the sea to find the best in me.
The sea has a way of doing that.  It brings you in and sweeps you along.
Walking the beach, collecting shells, swimming, boating, fishing..
you always feel like the best is yet to be.




Along Cape Ann, artists thrive in summer. 
Everything falls into perfect pitch.
There is no better time to live a creative life. 
Whether it be artists or writers...the sea has a way of 
helping one to define themselves.




    I created this blog on a painting which I called
the painting served as a reminder of my 
childhood by the sea.

Often I think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me.
My grandmother and me
on a porch along the sea

With that...I say 
Hooray for


Next week 4th of July celebrations in the little town by the sea
more on that next week :)

Bellissima Villa Bordoni




Cooking with Miss Claire yesterday brought back wonderful memories
 of a perfect summer lunch at Villa Bordoni in Tuscany.








We had all the ingredients for success.. 
family, great food, great wine, a perfect setting
and nothing but time to enjoy it all.

If you are planning a driving trip thru Tuscany
and plan to be between Siena and Florence,
