HI LOVELIES LAST WEEK IN JANUARY ALREADY . HOW QUICK THE MONTH WENT. USUALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS PEOPLE BEGIN TO THINK OF  PLACES TO GO TO LEAVE THE COLD BEHIND. ONE WEEKEND  WE WENT TO THE TRAVEL EXHIBITION TO  SEE WHAT PLACES MIGHT INTEREST US.   A FEW OPTIONS  A TO Z  A PLACE I WOULD  LIKE TO SEE  IS THE ISLAND OF CORISCA.  IT IS PERHAPS NOT THE MOST TRAVELLED PLACE, BUT  A REASON TO CHECK IT OUT. NOT TO TOURISTY. ANOTHER OPTION IS CROATIA , AMAZING PLACES AND CLOSE TOO. AND WITH THE ADRIATIC SEA WHATS NOT TO LOVE. BUT OF COURSE THERE MANY MORE PLACES I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT TOO SWEDISH CAPITAL STOCKHOLM + ALONG THE COAST DENMARK  AND MORE OF AMSTERDAM TOO. LOVE THE CANALS AND QUAINTNESS.

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS … now what??? CHANGES… … Resolutions  etc, I have been slow to at getting things rolling in the new Year.  Actually I feel sad… its over. The festivities and merriment, I hate to take down the lights, tree and decorations.  Then I thought no problem, CHANGE it, to a wintery look minus santa . Keep the lights , candles and replace with some cozy blankets and pillows. Okay I admit it, I am the sort who likes change and changing a space with accessories  makes it more interesting.   Just like in Fashion , we want a change, a NEW look! Might be a new purse, coat, dress or a new haircut  or color. That is something else on my mind. Deciding to cut short or keep long. Go darker or streaks…. well I am sure you know what i mean.  (Okay, for some it is no big deal, but  after losing my hair  it was like complete horror.) Here are some lovely looks for hair.   Changes can be good or bad, the biggest change for me was moving here. Meeting new

A change in the weather colder and the weekend festivities , wore me out.  So to  make it easier to decide what to wear   comfort  comfort comfort, knit dress, fur vest, leggings and suede leather boots.  Topped  with a nice wool jacket with clips is one of my favorites for the extra detail. The vest is  great too, as  it looks like the real thing but not. This should keep me warm for the first  Monday of 2017. So how was the weekend for you, hope you all survived the  festivities.
