How to Wear White Skinny Jeans?

Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans.
Nina Garcia
 

I love wearing white skinny jeans! They give a feeling of elegance and joy. They look festive, yet simple. How to wear them? I noticed, since white color reveals all little details, it is better to choose thicker denim. This kind of denim would look more appropriate if you decide to wear white jeans in autumn or winter. White jeans really stand out with dark or bright colored tops and matching sho...

Purple Hues, Faux Fur Vest and Fuchsia Sunglasses

A sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite color of adolescent girls. 
 

Purple hues have something magnetic about them... When I see a black or a white top, I think twice whether I should buy it or not. When I see a purple top or a dress, I get it. Another attraction became loose fit tops or sweaters. They match well with skinny jeans and heels. I truly enjoy wearing loose tops, they give me a feelin...

My Favorite Weekend Pastime - Visiting Fresh Market at Wiregrass

 
What was paradise, but a garden full of vegetables and herbs and pleasure? Nothing there but delights.
William Lawson.
Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.
Letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington in 1787.
 

Food is one few things that people cannot do without. Debates about food have probably existed for thousands of years. What should be eaten, how much and how often, - these are a...

German castles, Belgium Flower Carpet and Amsterdam canals. Part 2. Belgium and Netherlands

Part 2. See Part 1 here.

The train we took was so smooth that I did not want to get off:-) When we stepped out into Brussel's streets, I started missing Bavarian Germany straight away. We arrived at the Hilton Conrade hotel, which was kind of old inside, but the breakfast choice and size compensated for every little discomfort. After a small break we had a scheduled tour around the city, mixture of bus/walking tour. Very lucky, among other stops, we saw a Flower Carpet, a venue, that is held ...

German Castles, Belgium Flower Carpet and Amsterdam Canals. Part 1. Germany.

In mid August 2012 my husband and I went on vacation to Europe. We had 10 days for visiting major attractions of the chosen 3 countries, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands, including traveling time.

My heart demanded romance. Yet, there was a bucket list to see major landmarks, sometimes just for the sake of photos (don't tell me you never did it before:-) So, I had to make a route to satisfy both of these requirements. We planned to see: Berlin, Neuschwanstein castle, Burg Hochenzollern (castl...

How To Warm Your Body & Soul With Hearty Veggie Soup

"Only the pure in heart can make a good soup"
Ludwig van Beethoven
 Soup has always had a special place in my heart. Where I grew up, cold season lasted from October till April. So, eating soup was an affordable, healthy and guilty-free pleasure. My parents always cooked soup for me as they religiously believed in its goodness. It is not a secret, that borsch(t) (tomato, beet & cabbage soup) has always been a popular soup in Ukraine and Russia. When I moved to the US, I faced two major c...

On a Sunday Stroll in Miami Beach.

"Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are."
Quentin Crisp.
I never get tired of Miami Beach and its 'see-and-be-seen' Ocean Drive. I like to take a slow stroll on the opposite side of eateries, listen to different languages from tourists passing by, and feel the ocean breeze. I love the palm alley, and the music from the cafes does not interrupt my flow of thoughts. Maybe I enjoy it all as I do not live there, and it is just a visit. There is an atmosphere of vacation all over...
