This and That / fashion week awards

  London fashion and more/  The past week there has been alot going on   Seeing some of the fashions  from London  I can’t say I found it great. More unusual . There was a recycle design using a parachute . A ballon dress look.  The color was nice  but shape was overwhelming   I could well imagine it as rainwear or totes    Some other looks a corset worn over a shirt   Wearing undergarments o over an outfit  I think it’s been done before  Then there was the charity shop fashions  reusing second hand or vintage is another thing    Finding items is hit and miss.  Millenary hats are always a look that elevates a look. Think of Katherine  I personally love hats but no something one sees often.   A classic is a great suit. The light yellow suit reminds me of Chanel .   Award Nite  Red Carpet Looks  The Emmy s were held recrr Ed mt ly and actors walked the red carpet  some looks ...

This and That//lifestyle

 Tighten the Belt$$$  $$$So much in the news about the tarifs and how prices on things have gone up. For many people with families it has effected them greatly . The cost for food, power etc has increased greatly.  Tips to help cut some costs.  We had changed all te light bulbs to energy efficient bulbs. Compared to regular bulbs they are more pricey but energy use is much less. The energy bill is much lower.  Another item we use is a power bar to plug in the different electric things.  They’re are2types we use. One has plug for few items and main on of switch. When not using the things turn off the power bar . No power is bein drawn by things .plug in.  Heavy duty Power strip Another multi plug power strip bar comes with more spots to plug in things. , at each socket there is a on off switch . So if you have a lot of different things plug in just turn on the one you want to use .  Every y appliance when plugged in uses power whether you are using...

Pockets please!!/ fashion

  Well as the title says…. Pocket s please!  This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally  managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything.  Why???  When I think back there usually  were pocket inserts nicely sewn  on inside of slacks or dresses.  Now you rarely find that .  I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in.  Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets.   Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets.  Do you like outfit with pockets?
