SMALL THINGS in LIFE

I am not sure if it is cooler weather or me getting older (can't be) but whatever it is

when fall comes around its feels like it is time to bring out the candles, grab the cozy blankets ,

bake apple pies and watch movies. All of these things I love. Movies especially.

I love to follow the film festivals and see what is new .

Small Things

Last weekend was one of those , (after the museum visits). Foreign films have always interested me.(though it was not so easy to find them ) This year at the Cannes film festival the films screened included those directed by Tarantino(once upon a time in hollywood), Pedro Almodovar , Boon Joon-hu and many others. So I am curious to check them out when in theatres.

Meanwhile I found one film by Almodovar that sounded interesting and is based on the Canadian author Alice Munro. The film is called Julieta- a film that takes you on the journey of the life of a young woman, wife and mother and reflecting back to earlier years. It is a romantic drama that makes one feel for her pain, love and longing ... a very touching movie. The director made a wonderful film from Munros book. I actually like Almodovar films , he is like the spanish version of Woody allen films. Perhaps with more emotion and feelings, and depth of the characters. I can say its a good film to watch. I have seen a few of his other films - All about My mother; Volver , so Julieta is another one I can recommend.

The other one I found really interesting was a German film called Run Lola Run. Its not new but seems like it could be. The plot is about a girl and her boyfriend and how things can happen in the

most unexpected ways. It is a very unusual film that shows parts with animation , but in a funny way.

Lola is out to save her boyfriend from disaster and the outcome. A very cute artsy film.

Both might be in english or subtitled. So if you are keen to

see some foreign films they might interest you.

These films are not your die hard or star wars type with all the flash and action ,

but more films of human beings daily life and relationships.

So I hope you enjoy!

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. ...
