HAPPY JULY // lifestyle

JULY & SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Well the summer holidays are in full swing, the kids are out of school and the summer fun begins.

Whether it is going to the local pool or swimming at the lake, it is always nice to take a break from the city. That was always the most fun as a kid, packing up the car for trip to the seaside or lakes.

And of course , all the summer movies were something else to look forward too.

I have to say the month of July there are so many interesting events - number 1 are all the great outdoor movies held in the parks, at the city hall and many other places. I have always loved a good movie. So the latest movies are out and hope to see a few, before going on holidays.

One that looks funny is all about swimming , how appropriate. A British comedy called Swimming with Men. A group of men that are synchronized swimmers. Cannot help but imagine

the swimming outfits.........

Another one- Based on a true story. the title. A thriller with Eva Green i.e. Bond girl.

The French comedies have me roaring every time we see one and the latest new one I think will be a summer favourite.

MOMO , a married couple with no kids.and the surprise that changes their life.

I have to see this after seeing the actor

in another hilarious French comedy, Serial (bad )Weddings.

If you like movies and want to see some foreign films these might be some you can enjoy.

Have a great summer everyone!

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.

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
