Paper Doll

I have a room full of clothes but every morning it's the same: I have nothing to wear.
Conclusion: I don't have enough clothes!
Ask Mr S he would tell you that all you need is 6 white shirts and two black suits. According to him a black suit works at all times. I agree to a certain extent.

I love shopping and I love fashion so wearing a black suit at all times is not really an option. I am black all over so I do need some colour on me.

At the moment I am reading this wonderful book A Guide to Elegance - it is a bit old fashioned and adapted to, what I would call, an upper class life style in Paris but still there are some good tips in there.
Do read it, it's lovely!

So now with my new knowledge I am going shopping for some classical clothes that will work at all times.

Take care

The sounds of silence

My silence is now officially over. My grand mother (a very wise woman) used to say: If you have nothing good to say then be quiet. So since i haven't really had anything good to ssay I have been quiet.

Now I am back at work after a fierce holiday.
On July 6 we took a plane to Munich, stayed there for two days and then drove to Italy.
I have seen Venice (nice place but I doubt that I will go back), Pisa (nice), Modena (home of Ferraris), Florence (2 pairs of Ferragamos), Caorle (small town on the coast north of Venice), Bolzano (hmm...) Reute in Austria (well, to small for my taste), Salzburg (loves it) and back to Munich. We (Mr S, son M and myself) have enjoyed good food, visiting good friends and some really cool scenery and good shopping.
The last couple of days of holiday we spent around the house - getting ready for fall. Summer is still here - it's nice and warm and I ride my bike to work. Good for the booty! I gained some serious weight this summer (good food and good wine) but from now on I will go on a low carb/no sugar diet.

Coming back to work wasn't easy. I am tired, restless and want to try something new. I'd love to find something to do that actually makes a difference for some one other than myself.
I was thinking about going abroad a do some pro bono work maybe in Africa, but we'll see.

No more news from my strange so called "brother" in the US. Maybe he realized how strange it is to write a letter to a complete stranger and ask for money...

Now I have to make a few calls and at least pretend that I am working.

Take care
