ALL THINGS FRENCH// Lifestyle

ONLY FRENCH, MERCI


The fashion world is known for its great french fashions  Chanel or Dior and the French style. France is also known well for its fine cuisine, wines, cheeses  champagne and much more. 
 The music of french singers  is well loved around the world , from Serge to Halliday. Edith Piaf to Charles Aznavour


The French language is one of the most romantic languages and the music  makes it even more meaningful. The French Chansons . 




A famous singer of the style was Aznavour. 
 He wrote and sang so many beautiful tunes. 
The most famous sung though in English was SHE. 
A tune that really would melt hearts. 
Sadly the man recently passed 
he had been touring  at the age of  90s.  
The songs he sang will always be played and shared young or old, He was like the Frank Sinatra of France. 

Well speaking of things French, it was also 
Brigitte Bardot birthday , September  28th. 
The star known as the sex symbol in the  50s 60 and later. 
  
Yes, France not only gives the world fashions, foods,  music and stars also. So viva la France!


Back to French music and chansons. The songs that are so moving are also  being song by a young lady from Austria, ZOE .
 She was the entry in the European Song contest, she sings in French, and is gorgeous too.

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?

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.
