SUMMERTIME IN THE CITY// lifestyle & travel

SUMMER NIGHTS AT A PALACE

This holiday weekend was spectacular to say the least. From summer night concerts to movie stars the city was filled with major events.

The most well known is the Sommernacht Symphony concert held on the grounds of the Schloss Schonnbrunn. The Schloss is the former palace of the royals which is now used for special events and exhibitions. So to have a chance to see a concert being performed live at such a magnificent place is a summer dream.

The magnificent Schloss with all its grandeur is the absolute best place to have a summer night concert. With so many world class performers, opera singers to pianists it is the symphonies gift to the city. Wandering around the beautiful landscaped grounds or seeing the stunning sculptures and fountains is so, so worth it. The Schloss is highlighted with streams of lights that change colours throughout the evening.

What can I say, its a dreamy place to be on a summer night in May.

Well as the title says…. Pocket s please! This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything. Why??? When I think back there usually were pocket inserts nicely sewn on inside of slacks or dresses. Now you rarely find that . I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in. Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets. Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets. Do you like outfit with pockets?

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
