International Womens Day // events

MARCH 8 the day woman around the world made their voices be heard.

So what was your day like, mine was more focused on women from the past that made changes or were inspirations to other women or girls. There are several . 

Who were those that inspired you or you admired?


For me some that inspired me  were the french women   actress Catherine Deneuve, the classic beauty, stylish , sophisticated.  Katherine Hepburn,  the feisty woman who wore slacks and looked chic. Coco Chanel or Marlene Dietrich  each had a big influence in fashion or films.  Jolie or Amal the new beauties of today.

Politically  there are, Thatcher, Gandi, or Bacchelet, Merkel , woman who have made differences in the world politics , somewhere to make BIG changes.

World figures like Mother Theresa  the soulful loving woman , who cared for the needy.
Spent her life to help others .  The brave young  girl Malala,  who brought much hope to
younger girls in a terrible situation. She truly is a wonder and a leader.

Sport figures like  olympian Katherina Witt,  or Lindsay Vonn the great athletes. 

From doctors to nurses, lawyers to policemen,  teachers to scientists
woman really have made great changes.  

Yes there are many more , these  are only the few that make all women more
important in society, in the world. 

So when we work together and help one another to improve women's issues or
share knowledge  , this is  the only way to make changes for the better.

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

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 so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h
