IN FULL SWING// lifestyle

SPRING DELIGHTS

Spring is the time I look forward to the most. The beautiful flowers and gardens are starting to blossom, more people are sitting out and enjoying the sunshine, warmer weather and the amazing sounds of the birds. Something for a city dweller I had not really experienced before, we would have to go outside of the city to hear the birds singing. So this city seems to also be a natural paradise for the birds too.

Gardens and Parks

this time of year are starting to show the beautiful colors as flower displays are starting to blossom. From the Schonnbrunn park, to the famous Belvedere or the Donaupark .

The season of spring is in full swing. Soon the live music concerts will begin and tourists from all over the world come to see and listen to world class performers on the stage.

RUNNERS SET GO.....

First there is the Boston marathon, then London and then Wien.... the numbers of runner or joggers is amazing. World class runners that participate are always a draw. To see some of the best runners in the world. This weekend will be perfect with the temperatures up to 30C .

THE CYCLING LIFE

This time of month the city is bursting with activities some of the major ones that I looked forward to

were the Bike a thon a yearly event held to promote cycling in the city.

There are so many wonderful bike paths through the city. A very safe way to see more places and sights. If you don't have a bike there are handy street rentals , simple fast and easy. I have yet to discover all the different bike paths, after a riding past some outdoor cafes then it is time to take a break.

So whats not to love about Spring in this city. It is a city that makes one really want to sing like a bird too.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

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.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
