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.

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. ...
