Photo Love: Poolside Lounging by Slim Aarons

April 5, 2010

I’m officially on day one of a new life in Singapore and looking for an apartment.  One requirement has been that it has to have a pool.  This is a hot and humid country after all.

Photo from here

Then I’ll be free to lounge around in my retro chic poolside attire.  Snacks, friends, and a pool.  Sounds good to me!

I would rather play Chiquita Banana and have my swimming pool than play Bach and starve.

So would you rather have the fun and the pool or be a budding musical genius (though I don’t think he starved in his later years)?

    The fun and the pool all the way. And a rooftop pool at that – so reminiscent of “Sex and the City.” Loving this picture!

    And…I now want a pink engagement ring thanks to you!! 🙂

    Love that retro-chic pool attire! I often wonder where all the one-pieces went. Sigh, I miss living in an apartment complex with a pool. Too cold in San Francisco for pools, though I love visiting my mom in the East Bay in the summer where it reaches over 100 degrees!

    i love the idea of chic and cheap living blog. There’s a pool in our apartment but I’m not able to use it much.

    ha!!! you are so funny!!!! and boy you MUST have a pool if you are living in humid land!!!

    my sis used to have a pool. i used to HOPE she would go on vacation all the time so that i could sit on a raft and float my days away in the pool. i think that is probably the most relaxing thing to do in life!

    hope you find a fab place WITH A POOL!!!
