SUMMER TRAVEL STYLE// fashion, styling



PLANNING A TRIP? WHAT TO WEAR?

It s been awhile since we had a trip anywhere, with lockdowns, travel restrictions and quarantines , it seems like travelling anywhere is not possible.  I use to take a few trips  to far off places, but after
a long haul flight of  so so many hours, it does not appeal to me as much anymore. Running  through large airports for connecting flights, finding the terminals and the lineups - well you get the idea.

Airports use to be fun but now i find them to overwhelming and more traveller pushing or running you over with the cases is  like being at an amusement park.

I have more or less fallen in love with train travel, it takes longer but it is so much more soothing.
Plus more comfortable and relaxing. Plus better for the environment, which is very important!



SHOP MY CLOSET LOOK

My ideal outfit to wear , especially if going via train are a pair of slacks , a top, tank top or t-shirt, flat shoes and a good size tote.

Linen slacks are the coolest to wear and now linen items are available in many styles.
A top to throw over the shoulders if chilly or wear it, plus simple tank top for when it gets to hot.
Flat shoes are also good idea to wear , when climbing stairs


TRAVELLING STYLE

This long sleeve sweat top is a favourite, with the shoulder details and the colours.





A pair of linen slacks with pockets , this pair has added stretch
great for sitting in.








A roomy tote to hold all things needed for a trip.... books , scarfs, water, glasses , phone, etc.





OVERALL LOOK.  LOVE THE COLOUR COMBO. THE TOP I HAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
BUT KIND OF LEFT IT SITTING IN CLOSET. SAME WITH THE SLACKS.
THE ONLY NEW ITEM IS THE TOTE.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui
