EXCITEMENT OVER OSCAR

THE BIG NIGHT !

I have always loved to watch the Oscar awards, but living overseas it is a bit late to catch it, plus it does not show the Red carpet with the fashions. What I want to see mostly- of course the awards are wonderful also.

This year though the  stage for the Oscars was decorated with  Swarovski crystals, an Austrian company that has made crystal famous. Most people know the brand.











Just how many crystal did it take? I read it was 45 million. That is a unimaginable number  but what a sight and display. To see such sparkle and glitz would have been breathless. Even here the main store in the center of the city always has the most amazing windows displays. One can not resist to go inside and look around.




 But for anyone who loves sparkle   there is always a nice piece of jewelry one can find those sparkle bracelets or earrings. What ever you want

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
