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.

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months. One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face when it’s windy outside. It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days . A pop of color is nice to see during the winter season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice. The Accessories . I love to add a few accessories also. Bracelets add a little interest to the look . The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good , as well as the multi twist bracelet. Ps The photo does not show the true color . It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull . After a few retakes no change. Camera issues.

DRESS. It up//fashion style

DRess It Up A simple grey knit top is something I had been looking for sometime. Grey is not usually my pick, but I thought time to try some other neutral shade. The top is tunic style and loose fitting . Definitely a comfort piece. I decided to add some different accessories to it. This shiny silver piece just a bit of interest to the plain top. Accessories are really a great way to give an outfit a different look. Love this multi strand necklace . It suits this knit top, not to delicate but fun and an interesting piece.
