ENJOYING the WEEKEND// Travel Lifestyle

MY BIGGEST LOVE - ALL ABOUT ART

(Mein gross liebe - Kunst)

I really can't think of anything I love more then ART! It is something that

I have always enjoyed to see or collect books on the subject.

Luckily I am living in such a amazing city where Art and Culture

is central to life. There are so many exhibitions to see throughout the year.

My all time favourite art is impressionism and the work of the famous Viennese artist Klimt.

His most famous piece is of course the KISS. (i am sure you know it).

The art world was dominated mainly by men, with a few woman.

But I recently discovered another impressionist artist

Olga Wisinger - Florian . She painted in the late 1890s .

Some of her art is on display at the famous Leopold museum .

Exhibition : Flower Power der Moderne, 24 may - 21 Oct

Here are just a few of her paintings, there is a collection of 70 on display.

Apparently She was a master of self marketing ( with out instagram or TV)

A wonderful seaside painting that depicts life and people

enjoying the sun and sea.

THE BEACH ETRETAT - NORMANDY 1893

What a lovely garden... heavenly!

SUMMER EVENING

Finally this is a favourite, so Parisian looking.

DER POSTHOF IN KARLSBAD

So one of theses weekends I am certainly going to see

her work and others.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

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...
