FRIDAY funny things// lifestyle culture

THE WEEKEND FINALLY!

Fridays are for me Freedom day.... the work week is finally over and I can relax, kick off the heels, and enjoy a drink. Its been an unusually hot spring and the summer it seems will be the same. So naturally it nice to be home and sit outside , light the barbecue and enjoy dinner al fresco.

Its a thing about summertime that reminds me of summers spent in northern Europe, visiting family and spending the summers boating, eating fresh shrimps and mounds of delicious strawberries. A oh so relaxing time. Strolling over rocky coasts, or vast sand dunes that stretched on forever. The long summer nights .......

NORDIC THINGS ... HYGGE , LAX , IKEA

The Scandinavian countries come alive in the summer after the long winters, and it is their love of the outdoors nature and enjoying the small things. No wonder the nordic countries are always top of the list of the best living standards. Life is slower there.

Like the idea or word hygge , its a way of life - or like the saunas that the Finnish people are famous for.

Another more amusing word I recently read about is the Finnish word, PANTSDRUNK - a english translation. It is something the Finnish people enjoy to do after a week of work and in the winters months when it is to cold to go to the local pub. Basically its sitting at home in their undies and drinking beer.... hmmm okay. So whats strange about that?

I can imagine it happens in many places in the world .

So on that note, CHEERS (lemonade) everyone and have a great weekend.

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. ...
