MINIMAL LIFE// lifestyle

MINIMAL MATTERS

 I recently read a post about minimalism,   making your life minimal with less or letting go of things.  Some things I can maybe say okay to, other ideas noooo way.

Some things that i thought  why would anyone want to get rid of
that, i.e. a family heirloom , a piece of art or jewellery that belongs to a parent or relative- it has a special meaning or is perhaps worth something or not. Okay, perhaps a thing that is costume or plastic  but still it is a sentimental item or has special meaning . 


  When I moved overseas, there were many things I sold big items pieces, but smaller things no way, collectibles or valuable items , photographs and books. 
Somethings I donated and regretted it later (lesson learned).


MINIMAL SPACES

The look of minimal room is fine, the clean tidy  everything its in place. That I do like, a room with less and  a larger vocal point.  I am not big on knick knacks , dust collectors.   

 But that being said , I do believe with the right storage or enough storage space  and order to a collection is important  so it does not seem overwhelming or cluttered. Just like clothes closets if hung  up in some sense of order it looks great-  black pieces together, slack or blouses  arranged.









































So no I won't be a true minimalist. 

I find pleasure in reading or looking at a good book, or savouring a good glass of wine .
Its what life is all about - to imagine the world being a blank space with nothing to see would be
unimaginative. Simple things like a beautiful seashell, a piece of wood or a great piece of art is what makes the world more interesting.   So whether you collect rocks, books, jewelry or shoes , its  all beautiful and meaningful for you.

Today i am off to collect some items at the library book sale, 


And will be happy to have something to read  and enjoy this weekend.

ARE YOU INTO  MINIMALISM? CAN YOU GET RID OF THINGS EASILY?

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. 

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

  Time for some color  Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color .  One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design.  It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long  , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
