HOLIDAY MADNESS or GLADNESS//lifestyle

HOLIDAYS... for some are not so great.

So what makes this time of the season so special ? For some it is being with their family, the traditions, the food and the music. Or just the feeling one gets.
But for some it is not something they look forward to... perhaps no family or loss of family member or their job.There are things that can set a person back.

So why do i mention this,,, well looking at all the blogs with all those gift ideas and places, made me think its not always so wonderful for some people. They dread the holidays , shopping in packed malls for gifts or the rushing around and the crowds.

REFLECTIONS

I think about my parents and what they did for christmas, it was different then, no large shopping malls or online shopping, but it still seemed like their holidays were wonderful. A big family gathering with few gifts , homemade or candy treats bought at the store or the skating outing. Simple but still so special. I think about that much more now that I am older and think ,, What is all the stress about?

Its more important to do or share the time doing something you like even if it is a small thing or
do something special for someone else.

Mostly I look forward to the holidays for the music, decorations and simply being with family or friends. (though family is far) I can still find joy in the season and enjoy the time. Doing things, skating , seeing the beautiful sights in the city or making a small gift for someone, visiting a sick friend or making treats.

There is always something wonderful to do at this time of year and to remember those that are not so fortunate as we are.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the holiday seasons. Thanks to those that take time to read my blog -and follow along.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
