September Sweep// Lifestyle, home, fashion

 THE BIG SWEEP

Yes , that is what the month of September has been  a sweep of getting rid of things, clutter, you name it , it was time to clear out things. I think the fact of  the lockdowns and being at home more only emphasized the fact things clutter had to go. 



INSIDE, OUTSIDE



Starting outside, I had saved so many plant containers that I thought would be handy to have. They have been sitting there for the last few years , not being used so time to get rid of them. Somebody else can use them for there plants . So was a giveaway.  Then our yard that was being prepared for installation of a small pool, well it became a bigger project then expected. Still decided if go smaller or original. (big headache)


REFRESH ; laundry room AKA Bathroom

Well its nice to have a laundry space, I find it adds a lot more clutter in the bathrooom. European bathrooms and toilets(W/C) are separate spaces. So its a bit like a half bathroom without a sink and the tub shower and sink are in another space. When one is accustom to north amorican place with usually a 1 1/2 bathroom design it can be a change.  But now to add to the mix is the stackable laundry machines - added to a already small space. Surprising how much space it takes up. Then all the laundry products , I can say it was driving me crazy. piling the bottles on top . So have to find a solution to keep all those products out of sight!  

Thinking to add a shelf along the one wall with some baskets to contain them , out of sight out of mind.  or some  cabinets. Probably cabinets. IKEA here I come.

There is nothing I love more then NEW towels, after awhile seems like the old ones lose their fluffiness. So goodbye old towels.



FASHION - all about comfort

Well being home more  and  only recently getting the second vaccine, I had to limit outings , so fashions were more the get comfy style. Plus the extreme heat , was also a issue. 

So basically I didn't need many new things to wear. a simple slip dress, flat sandals and swimsuit are the go to outfits, plus a  maxi dress and a shorter dress.  But now I can think about finding somethings that can transition into fall. 

Like the idea of a wrap cardigan , and a poncho is something I have always wanted but never bother, the idea of just throwing over the head and go  appeals to me. The other items are perfect for wearing at home and feeling comfortable. 






Thinking sweaters, knit dresses , nice pair of pumps and a new tote bag. 



SO have you any new plans, projects or fashion ideas for fall?

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
