Floating Weightless Calling, Calling Home

Earth below us drifting, falling

Click here if you want to get into our heads.




New haircut. Also new lighting. It makes me look like I'm in some 80s music video (which is my dream). It also made the picture blurry, because my camera is crap. Correction. was crap. It has since been replaced.


Also new shoes. yes, they're rubber - because I want to keep dry. Also because they are reminiscent of Vivianne Westwood shoes. And because they are shiny and have no seams! I also quite enjoy the studs in a triangular formation (something that our italian friends do not appreciate as much as they should).



I also fancied my outfit very Yves Saint Laurent (circa 2008). The shiny shoes, straight hair, oversized boxy pants and jacket...you get the gist.


Ok. That's it for me. click....clack...


Green with envy.



You might think that I look like a lampshade in me long dress, well think again...


I'm a table! Ya know - tables have legs....oh never mind.


Does this really need an intro?

Cascading Curls in a Classic Café

We were having a lazy Saturday afternoon, and decided to document our travels - as we realized that we have never shown you where we walk around, spend our time, spy on lovers, etc.
So here are a few places we went to do errands/have a lazy day.
First stop La Farmacia:


Alex has chosen a toothbrush that is to her liking.


If you have not already noticed, Alex has stolen some curls from an italian.


And next, COFFEE!!!
Because 1) we are addicted and can't stop thinking about coffee, cafe, cappuccino, macchiato - you name it - even for one minute ...and
2) the window display was so adorable, it seemed as if the coffee bar was just begging for us to climb inside of it and drink the liquid gold from its bountiful bowels.


If you look closely, you will find a man staring at you from inside.
What are you lookin at? Am I stealing the aura of your fruit tarts by taking pictures of them? What?
...or maybe he's just the creepy guy from...Carla Bruni's Quelqu'un m'a dit music video.






We only planned to drink the liquid gold, which happened to manifest itself as cappuccini this time. However, we were equipped with the knowledge that it is grape season - which means that all over Tuscany farmers are harvesting grapes for wine....and making all kinds of delicious thangs like this for example, called Schiacciata Con L'Uva:

(the forks were so tiny!)




They only stayed in this form for about 2 minutes, and then....

Well, let's just say it was love at first bite:


And lookie what we found, if we weren't already under the impression that we were transported to the olden days, we snatched up a couple of these vintage looking candies at the bar before leaving.


Last but not least, we stumbled upon this:



You can buy everything you need including milk, olive oil and cotoncini!
