BEING ME & more

Somethings you can't change and somethings you can..the color of your hair, your appearance, or your shape - but I think one thing for me that has not changed is my taste in clothes.

i was never a blue jeans and tshirt type,  but i do like how some girls can look gorgeous 
in them.  ( basically i didn't care for the stiffness of denim jeans and zippers. but  never say never……)




I thought  I would  share my favorite things and styling thoughts. 
Fragrances (+great Lipstick) is top on the list , why? Well I would say my mom  was the biggest influencer. she said,

no outfit is complete without a wonderful fragrance. The scent is what people will remember you by -  that  and your appearance. and of course the first 30 seconds is when you make the first impression.



Jewelry one of my other weaknesses -
 a nice piece of jewelry can add to simple basic outfit the extra,
be it earrings, necklace or  rings.  A good piece will complete a look. invest in real gold  piece that you love and will last.  or the one piece of designer . 

















Shoes & Purses,   ohhhh  that really is another thing .
 

I love a interesting purse  and shoes, but to start I think is important to get a nice leather  shoe, heels and again quality  leather. A good black pump, a pair of sandals and  nice pair low heels to start.


Flowers… another big favorite of mine
I can't imagine not having some flowers growing, or the colorful look it adds to a space. but if one does not have time to care for the real thing, then I get a silk flower that looks as close to real as possible.

Candles,  well that goes without saying, it sets the mood and gives space a warm glow.

Velvet, its a big thing right now in fashion. 
I love the look of velvet , its rich looking and I  especially love a nice dark shade . A deep blue or crimson red  will always be perfect to wear.
I have had one piece  for several years and its something that works well over a simmpe dress or slacks.















Furs…  yes it is luxe and it is perfect to keep warm,  and  now  you can find some amazing faux furs. 

So a touch of fur to an outfit is a definite love of mine.










The BASICS  Black and white, beige, grey a starting point to fashion  and even for interiors. 
it is a simple white shirt  with some fine details, that well fitted black blazer or a nice beige linen slack
that can be  accessorized with so many things.  















Color,adding this to your outfit is the extra punch. 



So i like at least one colorful piece, pink dress or a colorful top , a beautiful scarf or a purse. 

So give it a splash of color, it will make a big
difference .

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. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

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
