I guess we will all need to learn to adjust eventually, but I do feel terrible for the younger generation. What a world they've been left from us. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />The latex thing is a drag-I'm sorry you're dealing with it too. The worst is medical offices-even if the gloves are latex free, the tourniquet might not be. <br />We are going to drop Danny for his first day of school and then go cry over breakfast as it will be too early to have a drink. I hope he enjoys school. <br /><br />@Alli,<br />Unfortunately, Australia is on the front lines of climate change. Looking at those fires last year was terrifying. I hope you get an easier summer this year. <br />I would have loved to see you dressed for the moon landing! I'll bet it was great.<br /><br />@Beth<br />Cardoon looks a lot like an artichoke, but you eat the stalk not the bud. I'll get pictures for the next post-it is a cool plant. <br />Switch grass is driving me crazy. I pull it and five minutes later it is back-everywhere. I know it is a native prairie grass, but...grrr. <br /><br />@Emily<br />Awww, I didn't even think of it! That would have been funny-and accurate. I own a vintage bottle of Moon Drops and you're right, I don't care for it. Still, it is interesting to have as a reference. I don't remember if I liked it at the time it was popular. I'd guess not. The bottle is ugly, so that probably put me off buying it. <br /><br />@Bibi<br />Monsoon heat and humidity sounds unbearable. I know you need the rain, but ugh, it sounds awful. <br />Danny's looking forward to it because he was able to select interesting courses. Our district is $$$ and have offerings other schools don't get. We're dirt poor, but he gets to go to one of the best schools in the state. The course he's most excited about? Welding. He has an artistic streak, so who knows, maybe I'll get some Gormley inspired art for the yard.<br /><br />@Ann<br />Your heat sounded awful-I'm glad it was short lived. Air conditioners are so loud, even centrally installed. I know it sounds eerily silent when I can finally shut it off. <br />Beet Poot is hard to explain! Just show Jos Shifty Thrifting ;)<br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-13886727015722822312019-07-31T10:57:02.096-07:002019-07-31T10:57:02.096-07:00I don't envy you at all, Goody, as we've o...I don't envy you at all, Goody, as we've only had a week or so of these extreme temperatures. I don't know how I would have survived if it had lasted any longer. We too lived in semi-darkness, but unfortunately I had to go to the office. While we've got mobile AC there, the things are making a horrible noise. Plus, going back home in those temps was just horrible. But back to you and your outfits. My favourites are the white faux-towelling dress, the patio shift dress and the tropical print one. Your Summer Goth outfit is pretty fabulous too. I tried to explain Beet Poot to Jos, but he just looked at me weird. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that T-shirt. Just brilliant! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-74973084421961247782019-07-30T19:51:24.959-07:002019-07-30T19:51:24.959-07:00I was wondering why Beet Poot was looking so smug!...I was wondering why Beet Poot was looking so smug!<br />It has been hot as blazes up here in the Himalayas too. The Monsoon started 2 weeks early also bringing 85% humidity!<br />I love your curls! (so glad you did not destroy them with a perm).<br />I think you look fabulously in shape in that bathing suit and all the warm weather ensembles you've brilliantly put together!<br />Bet Danny is going to have a blast (or be bored spitless?) in high school?<br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-61768172990911244352019-07-30T16:20:13.730-07:002019-07-30T16:20:13.730-07:00All those outfits are gorgeous!

I can't imagine why anyone would want to use a blow dryer on such a hot summer day anyhow. <br /><br />When you said that Ho Hang was "kinda meh" and "boring," I was crushed that you missed the opportunity to add "ho hum." :)<br /><br />Ever try Moon Drops by Revlon? It smells very similar to Estee Super Cologne, so that's one to avoid if Estee doesn't work for you. But you may want to hunt down the vintage solid perfume pendants in both fragrances. I've seen Moon Drops as an adorable chubby goldtone elephant pendant accented with emerald-green enamel.Emily from Etsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-29609983374370419382019-07-30T16:17:36.024-07:002019-07-30T16:17:36.024-07:00trust you to note the one bright spot in this summ...trust you to note the one bright spot in this summer's jungle -- the lush gardens which have sprung from the rains and heat! (Alas, the weeds in Indiana's acres of unplanted fields are similarly prosperous. Tip: invest in herbicides for next year's crops.) And may we see a pix of the cardoon? You're the first person I know who's raised one. <br /><br />I've yet to inflict my swim-suits on the public (old lady fitness center pool sessions don't count); however, I have pulled out old golfing shorts and worn them in the shops. I've even begun keeping a towel in the car so my thighs won't be scorched by a sun-toasted seat, and I haven't done THAT since mini-skirts!<br /><br />Thanks for reminding us that nude shoes go well with any outfit and any bag. Bvlgari Omnia Coral "sounds" a match for that yummy coral silk blouse. And I'm sure the taffeta skirt of the Summer Goth ensemble would truly sound as elegant as it looks! <br /><br />Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-230954688548639162019-07-30T15:50:50.928-07:002019-07-30T15:50:50.928-07:00As per usual, your outfits are fantastic, even if ...As per usual, your outfits are fantastic, even if you are struggling in the heat. You find so many amazing things and put them together so well! As you say, this is the new normal, so we may as well get used to it. Last Summer in Canberra Australia we continually broke records for hot days and I expect it to be no different this season. I have been buying up silk tops in my favourite op shops to prepare. I think your hair looks great. I completely agree with you comment that no one cares what you wear so just wear what you want. I dressed as a 1960s Space woman in white and silver lame for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and no one bats an eyelid (except my husband but that's a different story). When you collect wonderful things, you may as well enjoy them!Alli Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249512765360405714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-35596405923894748602019-07-30T05:59:38.647-07:002019-07-30T05:59:38.647-07:00Oh Goody, I thought our heat was hot but yours was...Oh Goody, I thought our heat was hot but yours was hotter - poor you! But you know you never looked hot and bothered in any of the photos. Your hair is looking fab; I really like it and I like it when you wear it up, too.<br /><br />The outfits were amazing as always. I loved the tropical print dress best of all and those lovely green and yellow shades in your bangles were just fabulous. Loved your black maxi look. You have some some wonderful bags; I rarely see really nice vintage bags when I'm out and about but I probably need to look harder. You look fab in your hot pink swim suit. <br /><br />It's funny about your allergy as I have definitely developed an intolerance to elasticated things too over the last couple of years. They make me itch after I've been wearing them for a while; unfortunately it also includes some knicker elastic so I sometimes look as if I'm making rude gestures when really I'm just having a sneaky scratch! <br /><br />Danny going to High School...your whole world will be different!<br />xxxxxxxxxx<br /><br />The garden is blooming lovely!Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-60915538617834523952019-07-30T04:11:23.352-07:002019-07-30T04:11:23.352-07:00oh my - heatwave. here too since mid june.....
