| Ozone Summer | Garden Romance

 Summer, summer you bring light and mist upon our skin, you are a temptress, so hard to run away from; Day after day we fall more in love with you, seeking your romance in places we hope we will find you.

The light was hitting the right places in this beautiful Chinese garden in downtown Frankfurt, that everything just appeared to be in a romance with summer, hence why I wrote a short little poem above. Wearing those socks made it appear even more romantic, don't you think?

Red Raspberry

Let's talk comfort, nothing I love more than clothes that can provide me two things, and that is comfort and chicness. With those two things, I really think us women can rule the world (wink), I mean it, think about the many times you were just so tired and all you wanted was to wear your yoga pants or sweatpants and an old tshirt, I know I have. But these days designers are understanding the complex needs of a working woman/mom/wife/girlfriend etc. and so they have opened up the world of comfort chic to all of us, making it the more acceptable and even more desirable to find pieces that marry those two concepts. I raise my hand, as I am one to buy pieces as such because I always believe a woman should look put together even if it is at their most comfortable state (that includes the disheveled chic look I also love). 

Do you love comfort chic?

Buckled Life

Seasonal living is an acquired talent, and I am still trying to figure out the art of layering because this Miami girl knows very little of what it's like to live in places that have all seasons. See Miami only has one, HOT, that is the only thing we know and so layering is just silly vocabulary for us. The weather here in Frankfurt has been changing, leaving the hot summer days behind and seeing cold rainy, and overcast days ahead. It will certainly be an interesting change, one that I must adept to quickly or you will see a frozen Popsicle in front you. I am looking forward to it, slightly afraid, but mostly excited to see the changes and possibly see snow, it will be my first time. I was telling the hubby that this winter will be an exciting one, well because as mentioned it's my first real winter with snow and all, so the kid in me will be giddy. But the second and third and all those that will follow will not be as fun, but if all these people that live here can do it, so can I. By the way the beautiful building behind me is the Industrie und Handelskammer (IHK) Frankfurt am Main building, which is as we would know it as their Chamber of Commerce.  

On a side note, I am obsessed with my new shoes, I want to wear them all the time.
