THE CAFE SCENES // travel lifestyles

AL FRESCO , BITTE!

Outdoor cafes everyone usually thinks of Paris  for its many  street lined cafes , but I will say this city has some amazing outdoor cafes and restaurants to enjoy in the summer season.  The city is famous for its coffee houses  such as  the Sacher , Demel, the Schwartz Kamel and many others.  The history of cafe houses goes a long way back. Coffee was first made after the defeat of the invasion of the Turks in Austria in the 1600s. Once the battle was over  and the army left, they  had left behind sacks of coffee beans which were then used to make coffee. So that was the start of the cities cafes and love of coffee.


From  the small simple snack spots ,to some great ice cream places,   coffee houses  and restaurants there are so many . Some are set up along the old danube or new part . There is no shortage of  outdoor patios in the city and great places for  Al Fresco dining in the city center or at the parks and even at  the zoo-





A weekend to explore some of these cafes is not a bad idea!
So lets  go!!

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.  ...
