Although I don't have many pieces from this fabulous brand, I always enjoy browsing their stores and website. I used to tend bar at a nightclub back in my youth, and loved the "Bebe Girl" style: sexy, feminine and beautifully straddling the line between trashy and classy. I played hooky last Friday from work and did a little shopping and was dismayed when I visited the Bebe store and learned they were all closing. My sadness was quickly replaced with giddy when I saw the markdowns and went a little crazy picking out way too many items. When I went to check out, I saw the sign that all sales are final. Oh no, I thought, I'm not sure if everything will fit and I'm not going to drop this kind of cash if I cant return it. I was feeling brave so I leaned forward and asked the male associate checking me out if I could try the items on. He didn't miss a beat and walked me into the fitting area. He was so gracious and took me to the last room that he described as "his favorite because it's the largest and has the best mirror". How cute is that!!! I'm horrible and don't remember his name, but he's the manager at the Aventura location.
Luckily, I had this opportunity because a number of items were either too small (Note to self--you can't drop a size because you skip a meal or elect to drink vodka instead of bourbon) or were WAY TOO YOUNG looking on me.
This number, however, cried out to me and I obliged. Bebe will close their physical locations and will move solely to online sales. Thank goodness for that, but I'll miss you Bebe!
Black cap sleeve lace and sheer romper.
Taken from above at Pitlochry, a grimy morning HST service to Edinburgh has a few moments to contemplate at a red signal as it waits for the approaching cement tanker train to clear the one track exit.
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
Dropped in a state of imaginary grace
I've made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
Never comprehending the race had long gone by
The future's open wide~~~
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(I've seen some changes but its getting better all the time...)
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and Melt With You
Resetting the clock forward tonight means I'll be grumpy tomorrow morning (but I do like the longer evening light).

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Woman having to carry the purchases on a day of extreme heat. Translation of the sign written in Hebrew and Arabic: "Entrance to buses is prohibited, except public transport."
It's early in the morning and still a bit chilly, yet the sun is already out and warming me up nicely. Let's stay on this lounger for maybe another 10 or 15 minutes and enjoy the sunshine a bit more. Then it will be time for breakfast in the restaurant, which no doubt will be lovely too and in fact I'm quite hungry so I'm looking forward to that. There are no clouds in the sky so it promises to be a super sunny day. All is well here on my holiday, so happy greetings from Greece and see you again next weekend.
Thoroughly dominating the main hall of the California State Railroad Museum is one of the most impressive steam locomotives that I have ever seen displayed indoors. Weighing in at more than 650,000 lbs, and having over 124,000 lbs of tractive effort, this powerful 4-8-8-2 locomotive was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad for use on mountain routes, where long snow-sheds and tunnels were commonplace. The front-end exhaust of conventional steam locomotives typically filled such structures with hot, toxic gasses which could easily asphyxiate crew members on the train. To solve that problem the SP built several classes of "Cab-Forwards", such as this Class AC-12. They offered the crew not only cleaner air to breathe, but fantastic forward visibility, although their ability to watch their engine's workings was diminished considerably. The use of oil as a fuel allowed the firebox to be moved to the forward end of the locomotive...something that was impossible with solid fuels. The 4294 was the last member of the ultimate class of cab-forwards and only enjoyed a relatively short service life, from 1944 to 1956. When these locomotives were retired, all but one...the one seen here, were scrapped. Thanks to a good relationship between the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society and the SP, this one was preserved. After spending some time as an outdoor display, she was restored and brought to the California State Railroad Museum, where she is clearly the centerpiece of their display. The cab is open for viewing daily and is manned continuously by museum docents.
Forwards Fokker 50
Swedish regional airline Amapola Flyg, which started out carrying mail & then passenger operations, internally in Sweden & to Finland using a fleet of Dutch built turboprop Fokker 50's are now in Ireland in 2021.
On the 26th July 2021, Amapola relaunched the Dublin to Donegal ( Carrickfinn ) route which had ceased on the 12th June with the collapse of Stobart Air.
Operating twice daily flights between Donegal @ 0820 & 1640 returning from Dublin @ 1510 & 1820 hrs on weekdays with a reduced weekend service. Carrickfinn Airport has been voted the nicest airport approach for the last 4 years, right on the edge of the north west Ireland.
Fokker 50 SE-MFY has been operating the route from the beginning. It was delivered to DLT in March 1990 & has been with carriers such as Lufthansa, VLM, Cityjet & lastly Air Antwerp until their demise earlier in 2021.
Single fares on the Dublin-Donegal route, which is operated on a PSO ( public service obligation ) by the Irish Government currently start at 55 euros each way.
My thanks to the amazing cockpit crew that day, Captain David, FO Thomas & cabin crew Isak for their warmth & kindness, along with the co-operation of ground staff at Carrickfinn Airport for these photos.
Well worth a spin.

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago and quite like how it turned out apart from the lighting. Bearing that in mind I liked the relaxed feel of the photo. I was wearing a Per Una top and a skirt from the sadly missed East company.
Hopefully the Astra Zeneca vaccine will be approved in the U.K. today and we can start vaccinations in earnest and start beating the virus.
Stay Safe,
