First things first, the heat, the humidity and the fact that everything is on sale are all shopping turn offs. Secondly, i have decided to shop for .. not shoes, not clothes (or cardigans lol), but for BOOKS! yes.. i will spend my summertime IN, sipping my home-made virgin (mais bien sur) mojitos/margaritas , nibbling on home baked cupcakes and reading..
Here are some things i picked up from the book store today:
I call this Research, but those mini urban guides make great coffee table books, and conversations starters too!
A Book For Me (recommended by the fabulous Mi ) and a book for the hubby!
Might start baking too!
check out this super funky note book by Khalid Mesaina, tres original! I'm gonna jot down those random ideas/to dos here this summer!
- to staying in! xx

delicately realistic: just go there and spend some quality time reading blurbs and choosing lol or if that takes too long.. just pick whatevers on the bestsellers list XD thats what i do when im too lazy to decide! xx
dandoon: omg? 50? i think we hit 50? cuz whatever it is its not just coming from above.. the heat seems to reflect back and hit u in the face like a BLOW that slowly sucks the life out of u .. lol okay i might be exaggerating a lil but trust me.. It is NOT a joke when i say ITS SO FRIGGING HOT! *sigh*
