Spring musts: Teasing Sun, check; Sunscreen, also check (ok, this is a total lie, I only almost bought a tube yesterday, honestly the current minimal sun exposure does not yet justify the use of anything beyond a pair of aviator sunglasses); Travel opportunity, double check. [More]

Music Follows Me

Written by Nuria Chantre 25. February 2008 05:17
My last Sunday in Cabo Verde looks and feels like a Picture-Perfect Day! Here I am surrounded by coconut trees, lounging in my bikini by the pool, with the sun beaming on my face (and on my bum), my favorite fashion magazines (Vogue, Glamour, Elle) laid out before me just the way I love, and there...
