THE PERFECT - OUTDOOR HIKING RAINWEAR / FASHION

APRIL SHOWERS...... MAKE THAT MAY SHOWERS Hi everyone, been a while since I last posted, but really with lockdowns wasn't much to share . Fashions were all about comfort and loungewear . How many loungewear posts can one look at. But now that we are finally over lockdowns and travel is soon possible , there are things to look forward to. Like getting outdoors, going for hikes or camping.  We have had a mixed bag of weather  lately, some hot days followed by cooler, then rainy days. Its actually nice to have some rain. I like how fresh the air is after a good downpour.   One thing needed for such unusual weather is a decent jacket : I don't mind to be out in the rain, so long as I have the right jacket or coat. I like  a hooded one that covers one well and protects your head. I use to have  a  longer nylon  jacket with a concealed hood hidden in the collar , which was nice and compact for travel and didn't look like  sportswear.  But now  I wanted one with some extras. I fou

A SIMPLE CHANGE - beauty matters

Image
  I love a change now and then , but lets face it, it is not always possible or can be to expensive if you follow trends . Shopping for new things can really add up and also adds more clutter to our closets. Of course we can donate some items or sell online. But it is also a good idea to look for pieces that will last for several years. I have some pieces in my closet that would be considered vintage. Linen suit or a designer knit top.   SIMPLE CHANGES  Sometimes I like a simple change . One of my favourite ways to make a change are my nails.  A new nail polish is always  so fun to try. Not only does it look nice but it can cheer one up to have a simple change. I have tried many different brands of polishes, once i find a colour I love I make sure to get extra, because nothing is more annoying if it is discontinued.  SO now is time for a simple easy change.   What about you? Do you like to change your nail polish colours? 

LOUNGING AROUND STYLE

  Getting Back into the Swing  of Things That really is something I have been trying to do... after such a long time of being in lockdowns. I am sure it is much the same for most of us this past year. Life has thrown us a curve ball and much more! One thing that really changed is there is no need to really dress up much. Its the comfortable outfit that dominates the wardrobe.  Loose fitting items, like loungewear, sweatpants and tops, hoodies or t-shirts.  Comfort was key. EASY WEAR LOOK    dress it up with some of your  favourite jewelry, a scarf or wear as is. # This sweat dress is ideal for the day. Sweat Tops images hm

FASHIONS FOR FALL Here we are in the middle of August , yet it is still pretty hot out.  For some though the weather is a bit more chilly . The fashions are already showing fall styles . Getting ready for fall. Here are some of things that I would pick to wear for fall.                                                       The simple shirt dress is ideal, its light and yet is versatile to wear through to fall. Just add a nice blazer and it is complete. The next piece is a great item to have for fall and winter a lovely leather or faux leather skirt. Anything leather is always a good investment piece.  A simple pair of mules, these with the snake print are really perfect to wear with the about items. A casual look jacket that can' be worn together with the above pieces or  a pair of slacks. MODERN LOOK anything modern or chunky is the IT piece! So these rings fit the bill , the simple modern design is tres chic.

A CASUAL SUMMER LOOK - FASHIONS

DENIM ANYONE? I have always liked the look of denim for its more casual layback look, but denim jeans are not really my thing. First off I find them uncomfortable to wear, to stiff and not comfy to bend or sit in. But a denim dress  is something else, even a nice denim shirt is more my liking. A found this summer shirt dress in denim that is so soft and comfortable, plus it was sleeveless which makes it cooler to wear on hot summers days like we have now. I also like how I can give it a more casual look, or style it with a tank top or t-shirt under for a bit of a change.  Even dressing it a bit more with a scarf, accessories or a blazer over it. Yes this denim dress is going to be very versatile this summer and even for fall. The straw tote is a new addition , a good size tote to carry the important things, plus more. It is very  handy when out shopping at the markets or if going the the beach. Ideal for summer! MY KIND OF STYLE TIPS:: THE FIT thi

SUMMER SANDALS - Fashion

Stylish Sandals for Summer Are you a shoe lover? Ideally probably the best sandals we like to wear is something flat, maybe with a  slight heel and easy to slip on.  Nothing to tight that pinches the toes or is uncomfortable. Here are a few pairs of sandals that I like to wear . The silver flip flops I liked  for the detail with the silver buckles, they are okay to wear around the house or for stepping out for coffee, but not great for real walking in. For one thing I am not keen on anything wedged between my toes. It digs in so is really uncomfortable.  So I am not a flip flop girl! The other 2 pairs have a slight wedge, are comfortable as you can't feel any stones , a bonus ! Plus I can't wear a totally flat shoe. They both have a rubber sole, so no slipping. The strappy one has a back zipper and looks bit like a grecian shoe when worn. The other pair with the cut out design is the easiest to slip on, there are no buckles t

EASY SUMMER DRESS - Fashion, shopping

FINALLY IT ARRIVED In one of my last posts about summer dresses and my online shopping experience, the items I was waiting for never arrived, but this week the package FINALLY arrived. I was looking for some midi length dresses which I find the most coolest and comfortable when it is so unbearably hot - also anything in cotton was important. So I was delighted to finally get it, try on the items . The one piece I found was a simple midi dress, t-shirt style with a  flounced bottom , plus it was 100% Cotton. .It is a little more a fun and feminine style.   Perfect for the hot summer days we are having . I also was looking for a good size tote for summer ,  the straw style bags are always great for summer.   I found one that is the right size, with long and short handles. What a great idea! Love that it has that, if you like to carry it either way -  over your shoulder or by handle. ( similar to those pricey Loewe bags) An EASY, BREEZY ♥ ⛱SUMMER STYLE
