OH PARIS......// decor lifestyle

PARIS IN THE SPRINGTIME





All the world is drawn to Paris for many different reasons. The city of love, cobble stoned streets, artist , the Notre Dome , Versailles ....  need I say more. It is the city of lights or dreams, known for its
famous French cuisine, French champagne and wines  and river Seine. The one city the perhaps has seen more artist, writers , poets then any other. 




But  lets see what else is interesting about the city.


ONLY A RITZ WILL DO


Well my love of  art and design is one reason I would go to this beautiful city..  (and of course people watching along the Champs Elysee)  but another reason is the upcoming HOTEL RITZ auction.
The hotel is undergoing some renovations , so furnishings, rugs, light fixtures are on the auction block. A momento from the Ritz would be oh la la.. 


I can only imagine there are many people that would love to have a piece s from this historical hotel.
To think of all the famous people that have had the chance to visit this magnificent place is numerous.
Politicians, celebrities and royals all have lounged in the hotel (once owned by Al Fayad family).

So what to see and find on the auction list is my dream holiday.... maybe  a simple dinner set or nice bathrobe  will do.   from the RITZ.  




Yes i can dream......... life is to short not too! 


Ciao for now .

WESTWOOD life// Fashion, mode, punk looks

  CELEBRATE PUNK DESIGNER JUST THIS month it was Vivienne Westwood's 80th birthday. The fashion designer who brought PUNK fashions to the forefront. Her designs were over the top , colourful, eccentric and I think abit wild.  She still is designing and even some of her designs were part of the Life ball held here in the past, she also designed the costumes for the ballet performance for New years.  Known for her flaming orange reddish hair , bold clothes - she is a woman of her times, the punk era of UK. A look at some of designs and her style. tamer looks  images, vogue , runway magazine,  

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
