Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin’
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry
“Summertime,” lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin
One of the things I don’t like about living in the South is the heat in the summer. As I always say when someone thinks I’m insane for wanting to move back to Michigan year round, “You can dress for the cold. You can’t undress for the heat — legally.”
Well, at least you can dress as lightly as possible; that helps a little. This outfit by Liziaah does the trick quite nicely.

… Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn’t make it on time
‘Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there ….
— “Manic Monday,” lyrics by Prince Rogers Nelson

I was intending to do something much more casual this time, but I fell in love with this month’s Tres Chic, and so here I am glammed up again.
“…There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it ….”
— Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
“When good Americans die, they go to Paris.”

If you’re blue an’ you don’t know
Where to go to
Why don’t you go where fashion sits
Puttin’ on the Ritz
You can definitely “put on the Ritz” in Kelini Couture. I’m sad to get the announcement that the haute couture side of the store will be closing down, but there’s still the chance to pick up one or two new dresses; while Jem, who had only been to Kelini once, found an opportunity to grab some of the highest-octane gowns on the Grid at a very affordable price.
More in-depth shots and the details after the fold.

In case you haven’t heard, Kelini Couture is closing as a house of haute couture. It’s time for a break, according to sources, and so the emphasis is shifting to their urban line, called Haters.
For gown addicts like me — I’d spend a day swathed in an evening gown, if I could — this is sad news. But they’re holding a clearance sale, and it’s an opportunity, too, to pick up the Eva Kelini gowns you don’t have. Most of the store is L$ 350 or less, except for the newest (and last, for a time at least) spectacular on the New rack. Head on over before they close for remodeling!
Hopefully photos in future….

love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
— E. E. Cummings, “love is more thicker than forget”
