DRESSING FOR THE COLD

🎄🏂🎄🎄🏂🏂🎄🎄🎄

Holiday time is when some of us head outside, whether to go skating, tobogganing or skiing. Nothing is worst than having cold feet or being cold. I can say I do know about is cold feet, having spent time living in a extreme cold climate with temperatures minus 30s , its one thing i can say is not fun.

We were always out in the winter whether on hikes or skiing. Staying warm and comfortable was very important .

So here are some necessary items that will keep you warm . I should mention if you are out in the cold don't wear your jeans, they really are not warm enough and if get wet your going to be freezing cold.

HEAD to TOE outfit

SOCKS starting with the feet, a good sock wool mix or other, avoid cotton ones.
THERMAL wear is next, it helps to keep you warm and dry
Fleece polar is also great to wear over , whether pants or top , it stays dry, repels water so won't get wet . NOTE just don't stand close to fires as it will melt, especially childrens wear. Fleece pants are great for extreme cold and sleeping in .
FOOTWEAR my favourite and most warm boots are Sorels, they are made to handle cold temperatures and will stay dry. The liners are removable , so you can dry them over heat.
PARKAS, down filled is lightweight and warm, other types are those made with GORTEX, a breathable material . layers or zip out liners are also a good choice.
MITTS , TOGUES & SCARFS

WOOL SOCKS for toasty toes and a good fleece or sweater for added warmth .

THERMALS a definite needed item, under your pants

DOWN PARKAS the ultimate , for warmth , comfort and lightness. A longer version is great for keeping you warmer.

A GREAT PAIR OF SORELS.....definitely.

(I have a similar pair to these)

So now we are ready to head to the great outdoors.

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. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? 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
