LOVING FRAGRANCES// fashions gift ideas

OH LA LA

I absolutely love fragrance shops or the fragrance counters. That is alway s the first spot I stop when

out shopping (followed by shoes, jewellery shops)

Fragrances for me are the icing on the cake. Doesn't matter what you are wearing, but if you have

a fabulous fragrance on it makes you feel better - and people may notice your perfumes. How many times has someone stopped you and asked, What are you wearing, it smells lovely?

I have had that happened so often.

Of course not all fragrances are the same on everyone. And that is why I don't think its always great to suggest a certain perfume for someone ,because of the reason. I might like Chanel#5 , and someone else might not, for example.

But one thing I do recommend anyone, now is the time to check out Gift sets, I LOVE THEM!

Why? Well there is more things in the gift sets that are part of the fragrance, like bath oils, body lotions or an extra fragrance for the purse. It is also a good way to try out those products if you like them or not, and later want to buy it.

SO I am a gift set junky!

Here are just few I found that are super nice and well priced. Some have lipstick or other great things included.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.
