Having a HEATWAVE here in SICILY!

 Hello folks, how are you all? Is it cool where you are? Here in Sicily it's been RED ALERT for the past two weeks. It's so hot that you cannot walk outside. The beach is the bet solution but getting there is a problem. Traffic, pollution and the extreme heat make it impossible to get near the water

So I just enjoy the heat on the balcony.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 According to the weather report we are having an African January here in Sicily. Beautiful warm weather and the sun is shining, a great day for a walk. HAPPY NEW YEAR! BUON ANNO!

PENNY LOAFERS ARE BACK!

 Remember those comfortable penny loafers we used to wear in school in the 1960s? Well, they are back ... at least here in Italy. The famous Italian women's magazine DONNA MODERNA did an article on them.  

It brought me back to my high school days when we wore penny loafers with our dress uniform. Did we feel elegant in them! Here is a picture of me and my best friend on 187th St. and Belmont Avenue in the Bronx. Our high school was Mother Butler Memorial H.S. ?

Aren't  we fashionable and glamorous?

And here is the article on Penny Loafers in Donna Moderna.
