It makes me yearn for afternoons spent lounging at the pool (under a giant umbrella, bless my porcelain skin), and nights spent galavanting around in nothing but 4" heels, a sundress, and a glass of bubbly. But not to worry those of you who missed the Jitney or got stuck in traffic on the way to the helipad this weekend -- you can always live vicariously through Slim Aaron's trio of lifestyle books: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Poolside with Slim Aarons</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Place in the Sun</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Once Upon a Time</span>. Slightly more Great Gatsby and a little less "Lifestyles of the Rich &amp; Famous," Aarons' books will keep your mind everywhere but the gritty reality of NYC in the summer, unless you seize your chance to escape....</p> <p>Available on Amazon.com</p> <p><a target="_blank" title="Slim Aarons" href="http://www.amazon.com/Poolside-Slim-Aarons/dp/0810994070">http://www.amazon.com/Poolside-Slim-Aarons/dp/0810994070</a></p> http://thoughtsonstyle.onsugar.com/3348782#comment Books poolside with slim aarons Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:30:17 -0400 thoughtsonstyle http://thoughtsonstyle.onsugar.com/3348782
