LIFE LATELY going green// lifestyle,

A GREEN THUMB?


Hi everyone! Hope things are getting better  at  least. Well we are over the lockdown and soon some things will open ( restaurants, museums sport events) in the city. Meanwhile we are having some summertime temperatures that have brought the people outside more.

So with the lovely weather  I started on more things  for the terrace area. First off some new plantings , and things we needed 


HEAVELY SCENTS

If you love flowers that give you a burst of colour and fragrant smell then I can suggest one plant that is heavenly for  your garden  or patio area. SWEET PEAS!  a n easy to grow climbing plant the grows to 1 - 2 meters high. and fills up the space with beautiful colours of pink, white, purple and red. They also attract butterflies  and they bloom from june to September.






INSPIRATION IDEA for small areas  in pots




NICE DIY IDEAS 

 Trellises

NEVER ENOUGH ...... POTS

I was looking for some bigger pots to plant  or hold  a small cedar tree . Finding the right size plus the colour and price , I was stunned to see the prices for larger pots . They are only plastic.  nothing special.  Luckily I found some with the under dish  included . and in the right colour to match the black wrought iron patio set.

 A very happy  Gardener 





FLOWERS ON FRIDAYS

What a lovely surprise, on the weekend I received some wonderful rose plants.  Always nice to get some flowers , especially roses. /( i be happy with any flower)






So are you getting into the gardening mode? Enjoying the outdoors more?

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.
