Lazy days of Summer - THE ESSENTIALS


THE ESSENTIALS OF SUMMER

here we are the last day of June
the summer season has officially begun
of course not in our usual way

But with the hot summer days whether we are 
at the beach or in our yard, there are
certain things we need.













A GREAT HAT
i love a nice sunhat for the added sun protection and also because they just look great on.




GRAB the BEACH BAG
a versatile thing for summer is a
good size wicker bag to hold the things you
need - sunglasses, towel, water bottle
& most important sun lotion


COMFORTABLE SANDALS
most important for summer a great pair of sandals to 
slip on easily. Leather is preferable .
Avoid any plastic soles especially by the swimming pools
as it is very easy to slip.








SWIMSUIT & PAREO WRAP

the all important swimsuit  a perfect fit whether a one piece or two piece
is really important.  gives you proper support and proper fit for
you shape.  There are so many great prints available in any size.
This 2 piece is a favourite for the high waist and supportive top.

Add on a nice cover up like a simple  pareo

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?

THE PLUS SIDE OF FASHION

BEING A PLUS  THE OTHER DAY I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE TEN FAMOUS PLUS SIZE MODELS.  I THINK IT IS GREAT TO SEE THE WOMAN WITH MORE CURVES MAKING CHANGES IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, AND IT IS ALSO A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA. BUT I LOOK AT THOSE MODELS - THEY ARE MODELS AND AGAIN IT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE THAT WOMAN THAT ARE PLUS SIZE ARE AS TALL AS THOSE GIRLS. SO A SIZE 18 PLUS  ON SOMEONE TALLER LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THEN ON SOMEONE SHORTER. SO AGAIN IT REALLY IS NOT THE NORM FOR MOST GIRLS OR WOMEN, THE AVERAGE HEIGHT OF 5,2  TO 5,6. IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THE YOUNGER WOMEN BEING PART OF THE RUNWAYS OR FASHION MAGAZINES AND ITS A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR THOSE THAT READ OR FOLLOW INSTAGRAM. WELL I WAS LOOKING AT THE SOME OF THE PHOTOS OF THESE MODELS, SO MANY WERE PHOTOS OF SWIMWEAR OR POSES THAT WERE OVERLY SEXY. MORE AND MORE IMAGES SEEM TO SHOW CURVY WOMAN IN POSES THAT ARE NOT ABOUT THE FASHION BUT SOMETHING ELSE.   THIS TO ME IS  A BIG SHAME, AS IT MAKES WOMAN

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
