ENJOYING THE WEEKEND French style// lifestyle, decor

Hi Everyone!

Bonjour mes amis. Guten Tag meine Freunde

Hard to imagine it is already the middle of June, the summer season is here. This weekend was extremely hot (at least for me) over 30C . Would have loved to be at the swimming pools or by the water, but that will have to wait for now or for at least a few weeks.

The city is slowly opening more and more things, this week more tourist attraction sights are opening. Restaurants the limited numbers and outdoor sitting has been open for a while now.
We hope to go to one of our favourites places for dinner and to have a belated birthday. But I am still feeling nervous about the virus and a pre-condition.

So making the best of things at home is great too.

A French inspired retreat

I am obsessed with lavender flowers, having visited a most beautiful lavender garden here in the city, the fragrance was heavenly . So we just had to have lavender on the terrace to enjoy. Nothing is more French then lavender, wicker baskets, wrought iron and a lot of greenery with climbing vines or roses.

A place to sit and read in the mornings and have a nice breakfast of fresh strawberries and crossiants

Strawberries & Crossiants a tasty French treat.

MORNING BREAKFAST

A tasty dinner later.

Chicken strips , potato salad (german style)

sprinkled with healthy pumpkin seeds and balsamic vinegar .

So yummy!

Hope you are having a good weekend or week, enjoying the simple things of home- if your still in lockdown or not.

It is the simple things in life that can make things better.

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. ...
