CAFTAN & COMFORT

I was never one to wear caftans , a maxi dress for summer was more what i like, but I found this one caftan that was to me simply gorgeous . The colors and the print  of gold , blue, accents of black and  other colors was just to lovely to resist. So I bought a long  and a short one.

It looks so exotic  with some golden accessories , perhaps it is why I like the beautiful prints on saris.
The silks and details of some are absolutely exquisite .


So when  the summer heat starts here or when on holidays I plan to wear it a lot. The silkiness and comfort of it is amazing.   And the shorter version is going to be my go to coverup over a swim suit.


So I am a convert.   A caftan or two might be my go to holiday item, paired with some simple flat sandals , and VOILA  a bit of chic .


There is nothing more exotic then a beautiful peacock,  the vibrant colours, blues , greens  golds and black  was what I thought when I saw the colours in this caftan.

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.

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
