LE CHIC MODE

TODAY IS THE DAY,, GIRLS! YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING USUALLY ONLY THE GUYS DO  OR ASK. ITS LEAP YEAR AND A IRISH TRADITION IS THAT ON THAT DAY FEB 29TH THE GIRL CAN ASK HER GUY THAT IMPORTANT QUESTION….. OR PROPOSE . BUT IF YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT IT, THIS MIGHT BE THE THING FOR YOU TO READ. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35635591  IF YOU LIKE TO WATCH A CUTE COMEDY FILM WITH THE GIRL ASKING THE GUY  THIS ONE IS SURE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH OR CRY. CALLED   LEAP YEAR. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216492/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_18 SO WHY NOT TAKE THE LEAP????

 FEBRUARY ENDS WITH RAIN ! AND OF COURSE I NEED A NEW UMBRELLA. LAST ONE I FORGOT ON THE METRO.  DEFINITELY NEED ONE NOW!   SOME OF MY FAVORITE TYPES ARE THE GALLERY PRINTED UMBRELLAS.  THEY LOOK SO LOVELY AND I ADORE THE FAMOUS ARTISTS -  VAN GOGH,  MONET,  AND ESPECIALLY KLIMT. ALSO SOMETHING WITH COLOR IS NICE  ON THOSE RAINY DAYS. HERE ARE A FEW UMBRELLAS  I  LIKE

I AM A BIG LOVER OF MOVIES AND WHEN THE OSCARS AWARDS ARE ON WOULD MAKE SURE TO WATCH IT. TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL GOWNS, GORGEOUS JEWELS AND MOVIE STARS WAS ANOTHER REASON …...BUT  NOT SO EASY NOW.. LIVING OVERSEAS. BUT IT IS STILL EXCITING TO WATCH. BUT I GUESS I WILL BE IN MY PJS AND GET MYSELF A BOWL OF POPCORN AND ENJOY  IT  IN THE MIDDLE OF T HE NIGHT AND WAIT TO HEAR THE LINE……AND THE OSCAR GOES TO…… SEE WHO WINS THIS YEAR… WILL IT BE DICAPRIO, CATE OR JENNIFER ??? SO SUNDAY OR EARLY MONDAY MORNING  I WILL KNOW. HOPE YOU ENJOY  SEEING THE ALL THOSE GOWNS. I SURE WILL!!!

WELL ONE THING ,, I HAVE NOT ADJUSTED TO IS THE WEATHER. ALWAYS THOUGHT OF IT AS BEING A SNOWY WINTERY COUNTRY.BUT REALLY  VIENNA IS MORE GREY AND RAINY IN THE WINTER MONTHS , WITH NO SNOW. WELL ONLY A SLIGHT DUSTING OF THE WHITE STUFF I AM NOT REALLY FOND OF P UFFER COATS… REMINDS ME OF THE G OODYEAR MAN.  I LIKE A  WOOL JACKET  OR A NICE FAUX FUR LOOK. I HAVE A CLOSET OF COATS,,  LONGER COATS,  SHORTER JACKETS, A LEATHER BOMBER, A PEACOAT NICE ROOMY FOR THE EXTRA SWEATERS. BUT ALL IN BLACK. SO WHEN I FOUND THIS OFF WHITE SHORT COAT, I COULD NOT RESIST. I LOVE THE  BIG FURRY COLLAR, NICE TO KEEP WARM FROM THE BLOWING WINDS AND THE FURRY CUFFS.

AFTER BEING ILL FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS… I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO LOOK ONLINE AT DESIGN THINGS. ALWAYS WHEN SPRINGTIME IS AROUND THE CORNER I START  TO THINK OF  CLEARING OUT THINGS.   THE CLOSET IS THE ONE  SPACE TO START, THAT AND THE DRAWERS.  HERE ARE SOME NICE IDEAS FOR A DRESSING AREA . MAKING USE OF  SLOPED  ROOF LINES ALL WHITE WITH A VIEW! SHOE LOVERS HEAVEN COMBINATION  SPACE credits; AD designfiles

FOR ALL THE CAT LOVERS THIS IS A FUNNY STORY.  SEEMS THAT THE 22nd IS THE DAY THE JAPANESE PEOPLE GO CRAZY FOR THEIR CATS .  Enjoy reading this so fun report….MEOWWWWW CAT DAY IN JAPAN http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35628239

LUCKY ME OR NOT… . I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR SATIN  AND LOVE THE CHINESE EMBROIDERED ROBES.  SO WHEN I FOUND THIS ONE THAT IS COVERED IN BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS IT WAS PERFECT.  THE BLUE COLOR IS PERFECT AND THE DESIGN REMINDS ME OF SPRING.  WAS THE PERFECT GIFT!! MY V- D AY WAS A BIT OF  A DISAPPOINTMENT… NOT FOR  TRYING BUT BECAUSE  I WAS SICK AND REALLY DIDNT GET TO DO AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED, OR BEEN ABLE TO DO. SO,, REALLY MY POST *** BREAKFAST IN BED* WAS THE REAL THING. ( GOOD THING MY SWEETIE  IS ONE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF   A SICKY. SO THOUGHTFUL TOOO!) CIAO  FASHION LOVERS!!!

GOING CASUAL WITH A FEMININE CHIFFON BLOUSE, FLARED SLACK AND SOME  OF MY FAVORITE SIMPLE CLASSIC JEWELRY PIECES.  THE TOP HAS SOME GOLD DETAILS.  SHOES: A NICE BALLERINA FLAT WORKS WELL. RED TOP with Flounce FLARED SLACKS HA MY FAVORITE BAR EARRINGS

BREAKFAST in BED VALENTINES DAY AND BREAKFAST IN BED SOUNDS REALLY NICE AND TO MAKE THE DAY SPECIAL  IT IS A NICE IDEA TO GET THE RIGHT BEDDING  FOR YOUR BEDROOM. NOTHING IS MORE LUXURIOUS THEN SOFT COTTON  SHEETS MADE OF EGYPTIAN COTTON , EXTRA BIG PILLOWS AND FEATHERY LIGHT COVERS DUVETS. SO , MAYBE INSTEAD OF THE USUAL VALENTINES DAY GIFTS THIS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. A DREAMY BEDROOM WITH ALL THE EXTRAS. LOVE THE SOFT MUTED GREY TONES   AND THE UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD FOUR POSTER BED AND CHANDELIERS  ADD THE EXTRA ROMANTIC TOUCH

A LOVELY ROOM FILLED WITH SOFT CANDLELIGHT SETS THE MOOD FOR A ROMANTIC MOMENT. ESPECIALLY WITH  VALENTINES DAY. I AM A REAL ROMANTIC AT HEART AND LOVE CANDLES - EVEN WHEN ITS NOT A SPECIAL OCCASION. I LOVE THE  IDEA OF CANDLE LITE ROOMS AND THE WONDERFUL SMELLS  OF  VANILLA OR THE OTHER SCENTS AVAILABLE.    THE IDEA OF LIGHTING THOSE SCENTED CANDLES  FOR THE SPECIAL DAY  WILL  BE CHANGED.   AFTER  READING A REPORT  ON THE HEALTH HAZARDS THIS CAN CAUSE FOR PEOPLE  WITH ASTHMA  AND OTHER ISSUES. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE CHECK OUT THE LINK BELOW: http://www.popsugar.com/home/Scented-Candle-Health-Risks-39425267?ref=yfp ANOTHER OPTION :  THE NATURAL BEESWAX CANDLES THEY SMELL WONDERFUL AND ARE HARMLESS.  ALSO A FRAGRANCE DIFFUSER WITH SOME  ESSENTIAL OILS  FILLS A ROOM WITH A LOVELY SMELL . YOU CAN GET VANILLA, ALMOND, ORANGE, AND MANY MORE .

JUST  ONE KISS……….. BRINGS 15 YEARS GOOD LUCK I LOVE TO READ INTERESTING ARTICLES AND THIS ONE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AND IS RELATED TO PEOPLE AND THE STORY OF LOVE. LOVE AND ROMANCE FROM AROUND THE WORLD…  ITALY'S FAMOUS JULIET, TO DUBLIN'S ST.VALENTINE TO TEMPLES IN TAIPEI  OR  A STAIR  IN MEXICO. ALL PLACES WHERE  ROMANCE IS PART OF THE STORY. HOPE YOU  SHARE WITH OTHERS. http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20160204-where-one-kiss-brings-15-years-of-luck

EVERYONE LOVES A PARTY!!! CARNIVAL TIME IN THE EUROPEAN CITIES IS A MUST SEE.  IF YOU FEEL LIKE DRESSING UP IN GOWNS  AND MASKS NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.  WHAT TO WEAR IS SOMETHING I WONDERED ABOUT. YOUR IMAGINATION CAN GO WILD. A GRECIAN LOOK…FLOWING DRESS AND SIMPLE SANDALS  AND  SOME GOLD ACCESSORIES .

ROSES , ROMANCE  AND RED …  WHAT MAKES  VALENTINES SPECIAL IS   SHARING THE DAY WITH YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE.  EVEN IF ITS NOT THE OVER THE TOP THING OF WINE AND ROSES . ITS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO WEAR. FOR MY FIRST  PICK IT IS A LONG DRESS ,  WITH PAIR OF SPARKLY EARRINGS  AND A  NICE BRACELET . LONG OR SHORT`???  ONE CHOICE IS THIS HALTER GOWN IN RED. NOT TO GO UNNOTICED  - PAIRED WITH DROP EARRINGS AND  STUNNING BRACELET. SECOND CHOICE  THE SHORT COCKTAIL DRESS  , LOVE THE SIMPLE CLASSIC LINES.
