Sundog Millionaire



This morning, I was woken up to a series of beeps and a couple of missed calls on my cellphone. It was a bit perplexing to read messages like: "Go out NOW! look at the sun!" and "OMG! the sun!" and another "YOU HAVE TO SEE IT! look at the SUN!!" And I admit, I hate reading text messages in All Caps format. I can almost imagine the sender yelling right at my face. Grrr. What a nice way to greet my day. But a call from my dear cousin, Joan, prompted me to get my lazy butt out of bed and head outside to see what the commotion was all about.

Lo and behold! a SUNDOG! My very first time to witness such spectacle and I was wowed a million times over! My sister and I wasted no time and took pictures of the marvel that was Parhelion.

Encyclopedias say that once a Parhelion occurs, it means rain is coming but I don't see a teensy bitsy sign that it is indeed coming. I am still baking in this little corner even with the windows wide open and the fan in maximum setting. This hot spell is slowly drying my brains out making it hard to stay coherent. Gaah!

On to the outfit: A couple of days ago, my mom asked me (no, more like begged) to wear again the "real deal" as I am always wearing fashion accessories these days and she's not so used to me wearing them so often. So yesterday, I wore some of the pieces that I knew would make her day to a client meeting. And boy, was she ecstatic to see me wear this cameo necklace which her aunt passed on to her a couple of years ago (God bless her soul). It's her favorite so she literally spent pretty much the rest of our afternoon (after the meeting, of course) talking about it. And I find it cute and heart warming how she treasures family heirlooms. She loves cameo pieces and her collection is just awesome! I love you Mom!

  1. Oh, I love that sundog photo. That´s rare!

    That cameo necklace is fab, you lucky girl! Things like that are definitely for keeps.Love your shoes too. Hay, wish I could wear heels as high as that but the streets here are not that heel friendly.

    I hope it rains there, in here it´s back to winter cold and wet.

    Happy weekend, Toni! :)
