FOR THE LOVE OF ANIMALS

Lately I have been reading and watched some amazing movies that are animal related. If you love animals too, then these movies or books might be of interest. What drew me to the type of films is because the films depict REAL WOMEN who were unique , strong and amazing.

Like Karin Blixen whose life took her from Europe to Africa. Another is Diane Fossey and her dedication to protect the gorillas and lastly the story of June Adamson and the lion Elsa. There is something about all these women that I admired and thought what amazing lives they had. So brave and strong they were.

But I also was drawn to their stories because I love animals. As a kid growing up I would sometimes find small injured animals and bring them home. One was a small baby robin, or frog and salamanders. I always wanted to be a Veterinarian or working with animals.

So of course a good movie with animals and humans caring for them is something I like to watch. Also I was hoping to get out to the zoo and see the new additions, but in the meanwhile I can enjoy it somewhat on the screen.

OUT OF AFRICA, an Oscar winner with two outstanding actors, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.

Based on the book written by Karin Blixen . Its the story of a real woman who travelled and lived in Kenya. . The film is one of my favourites for the stunning scenery and views. To imagine seeing the wild animals in their natural habitat is truly amazing.

GORILLAS IN THE MIST

Another film worth to see and tells the life of one woman Diane Fossey, who studied the mountain gorillas and worked to protect them. Its a drama with many ups and downs , but worth seeing.

BORN FREE

This film I recall seeing as a kid , its one film that still makes me tear up when I see it. ITs touching , funny and a good film for the whole family.

Based on a true story about Elsa the lion and the woman who cared for her.

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.
