SEPTEMBER SWEEP Part 2// lifestyle

SEPTEMBER SWEEP STORY

HI everyone here we are nearing the end of September , though this weekend was heavenly warm and wonderful out, so we had to make the most of the last summer feeling days.

Needless to say I am still in the BiG Sweep mode. Things I forgot about or were left in the closet for to long were either given away, tossed or recycled.

HOME SWEET HOME

Household items needed replacing. I think with fall around the corner the need for cozy new things is something we all like or need. Like new pillows, bedding , sheets and towels. This was something I noticed after being home in lockdowns , how much we needed to replace the old mismatched towels.

The kitchen was another place that needed some new items. My dearest had set of dishes that are stoneware, heavy as rocks and black. His whole place was filled with black things.

Needless to say a new set of dishes is on the list to get. White and lighter like the Corelle ones. love them they don't break and are perfect!

FASHION CAPSULE WARDROBES ???

Well I finally got the second vaccine , and can now safely venture out more. Fashion was not top on my list. I have enough things to wear , but there are somethings perhaps I might get for the fall.

More new sweater tops and comfy slacks, perhaps a pair of slip on loafers , and a new tote.

Other things that I like is jewelry. A nice pair of gold earrings is one thing I would like to get.. christmas is coming. Love those Frivole petal earring from Van Cleef.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.
