OUT & ABOUT// lifestyle

HAPPY AUGUST EVERYONE!

Well the month of July has flown by with some interesting moments and a few not so fun ones.

But that is how it is - sometimes things happen we don't plan for or expect.

Besides the extra hot weather and a few outings it was an okay summer, but we plan a short trip and are getting some visitors this month . So I hope it wont be as hot.

From film fests, garden ideas and pool projects these are few things that were planned.

OUT & ABOUT

Some of things I did check out were the film fest around town, a nice way to spend the evening.

even then it was still fairly warm in the night.

FLOWER & MORE FLOWERS

The other thing I wanted to get done was adding a few more plants on the veranda.

So we got a lovely lavender plant. Nothing like the fragrance of lavender, I only hope it grows and flowers , as it does need a lot of sun, which is a problem here- but i think i found a spot that works. Fingers X crossed.

DESIGNING

Another project is designing a enclosure for the backyard shower, yes we have simple

shower head in the back yard, which is great on hot summer days. Only thing it is

lacking a place to hold soap or a towel other then hanging over a clothes line.

So that is one small summer project to finish (i hope).

We also are thinking about a small pool , something to soak in and cool off.

Nothing like a dip to cool off. After going to the local pools in the heat

and then getting back home,... well the idea to have one outside

sounded good. No more lawn to maintain, but then there is the

pool to maintain, but at least one gets pleasure from it.

POOL IDEAS

SO WHAT HAS YOUR SUMMER BEEN LIKE SO FAR,

ANY PLANS?

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.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
