LIFE LATELY at HOME// LIFESTYLE, decor, life lately, lockdown

NOWHERE LIKE HOME

After we have spent so, so much time in lockdowns our space can become a bit boring or uninteresting.

I admit I am getting really tired of being stuck inside, staring at the same walls, but there is always something to look forward to, SPRING! This is one of my favourite seasons, and a chance to be outside in the garden or planting something. This year i was thinking to grow a few herbs and vegetables, but I really don't seem to have a green thumb. But I continue to preserve and hope for the best.

One of the ways I like to get into the spring mood is with some Spring branches ,

They really add some colour to a space, setting them up on the kitchen table or in the bedroom just makes one feel a bit more happy (at least for me)

GO BIG ; BIGGER IS BETTER

here are some decor ideas to inspire you .

love this mix of branches and stones. Nature on display.

A beautiful space with those fabulous blossoms can cheer anyone up.

Another glorious display of spring branches

The perfect reading nook , love the simplicity, minimal look

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.
