ODE TO SPRING 




The first day of spring was a surprise with of all things snow! It was snowy for a few days but this week has been welcoming summer like temperatures.  From one extreme to the next, snow to a heatwave. In the mornings we are greeted by one bird singing its heart out at 4 in the morning. For myself the week started not so wonderful as I was suffering from a major migraine. If anyone has experienced such a thing , let me tell you its makes one want to crawl into a cave, no lights, noises, no food, so bad it can get. Finally it subsided and I could get back to some routine. 



SKATING the day away

I use to love to see the ice skating competitions, and this week was surprise to see it live from Stockholm.  Love the ice dancing performances. Such talents and artistry on ice. 



LIGHTS ; CAMERA , ACTION

Well the new camera has been sitting on the shelf I haven't started to use it.  I have to find the manual for it and read up about the different settings etc. I had a Minolta camera years back, my first big purchase with the first job. I have all the different lenses so it was a real fun thing to experiment with different settings and effect.  But now I use the phone cam more.... less to carry and handy. 





I WANT to RIDE...

My bicycle, spring is the time to get the bike out of storage. This week I needed to bring it to a bike shop for a tune up. So its ready to ride.  Cant wait to get out on the bike trails , riding along the bike paths  , exploring new trails and places.  

Do you like cycling, getting outdoors on the paths?  What  is your favourite springtime activity ?






HOPE YOU  HAVE A AWESOME NEW WEEK, ENJOYING THE 
SMALL THINGS AND BIG.

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.  ...
