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?

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.  ...
