FUN THINGS in FEBRUARY πŸŽ©πŸŽΆπŸ’ƒ

This month will be one filled with some very exciting events .
February is all about dressing up, in many different ways.
Firstly it is the ball season, so the setting is formal wear. 

The grande dame of the Ball season is the Opernball held every year
near the end of the month. Its held in the magnificent opera house , a very
ornate and beautiful building built in the 1860s is located in the centre (easy to get  to).
The opera house will be the showcase of the city with many people attending,
the usual officials, businesses,  stars and celebrities.

This years invited celebrity was Lindsey Vonn , but she was unable to attend. Instead
an Italian movie star will be the guest. Past famous guests were Sophia Loren, Hilary Swank, 
Goldie Hawn and many others.

Well here is a peek at the opera house and the interiors.  The balcony areas are like private booths 
that are set up with a table and chairs for the guests.  The evening starts with the entrance of
young men and ladies dressed in tuxedos and white ballgowns, and start the evening with waltzes
that they have practiced over weeks.  All together in sync. So it is quite the scene to see them all twirling around.  There is also ballet performers and opera singers that perform.
The opera house was also part of movies in Mission impossible with Tom Cruise, where he
is running thorough  and sliding down the outside of the building.  

An amazing night in an amazing grand place.

You can also take a guided tour of the place if you really want to see more.

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.  ...
