bought a new necklace. it has form AND function, too. the fun part: using the acrylic circles like monocles when i need to see things in a rose colored, lime colored, mustard colored, or navy colored way. or multi-colored…

hehe. okay, other things i’m loving these days:
+ pale lilac nailpolish (trust me, so pretty!)
+ tiny bouquets of fresh flowers scattered through our apartment.
+ cheesecake ice cream from freddo‘s, because now i know what heaven tastes like.
+ anything hello kitty.
+ cloudwatching.
+ expired polaroid film, i’ve been shooting nearly everyday and the stack is HUGE.
+ wandering. this morning i went a solid three hours walking through BA, no stops.
+ max’s freckles!
+ seeing happy customers, oh yeah!
+ bishop allen, click (seriously, how do they know what i do with my camera?)
THAT NECKLACE IS SO AWESOME. you wear it well! megxx
listening to the song as i type. love. your necklace is gorgeous… it looks like something you’d make!
xoxo
Oooooh, thank you for the Bishop Allen link. Love the song ~ I think a lot of us bloggers can relate. The necklace is so fabulous too ~ what fun!
Oh Freddo’s!!!!!! I used to LOVE dulce de leche ice cream…best ice cream in Argentina :)
jenny, i’m so honored to be included in your “things you’re loving”!! and i DO so love my necklace!!!
wonderful to see you enjoying your time there, and i’m loving all of the beautiful inspiration you’ve gotten while there. :)
hehe, though i design jewelry, i also love to collect/wear it! never trust a skinny baker, i say…
yes! freddos! they should export to the rest of the world, mmmm i’ll miss it just like everything else sweet here.
amazing necklace!! :)
That necklace! Oh!
And I love its dual function, too.
see you, g xo
This probably is a really dumb question.. but you speak fluent Spanish? Did you grow up speaking it or did you learn it in order to travel more smoothly? Just wondering.
hi kerilyn, thanks for the question – i don’t think it’s dumb at all!
my husband is totally fluent – so the first few weeks here weren’t like walking blindfolded.
i’m not confident enough to admit that i am 100% fluent with spanish, since talking is the last to fall into place for me. i can totally get around and be out in the city with no inhibitions, but i’m not having deep philosophical conversations yet! :0)
i can understand pretty much everything too, which is fun. buenos aires being a much more metropolitian area than montevideo (uruguay) has people from all over south america – so unless you are peruvian, i can understand you, :)
i took one pathetic and pointless class in high school, and i vaguely remember a spanish 2 class in there… i think… but most of that time i was too interested in the cute boy who sat next to me than learning how to say what time it was in spanish, ha- we didn’t have the class frequently enough to retain any useful information (i think you need to be with it everyday to really *Get it*) i asn’t motivated enough. i knew about three words when we moved down here and so anything i knew has just been absorbed by living. no formal class or study. so i’ve learned the same way my son has, and by necessity. it’s been fun!
love the necklace! and freddo, walking in ba…i know what you mean.
and i just discovered max’s freckles on flickr, so cute!
thanks for all the great links!
I love the colours in that necklace. It’s almost like you’ve got a set of filters for your camera hanging around your neck! And I hope we get to see the Polaroids you took!:)
i love the new necklace! And your shirt too :)
