Last week was a bit crazy and I even didn’t have time to write about our move to Latvia, which, I need to say, went pretty smooth. Now am very busy with unpacking our stuff and ongoing house renovation, as well as trying to assist my husband with his work. The reason we moved to…
Yesterday I made a little shopping treat for myself. Walking around rails and shelves, clogged with new spring outfits, I was surprised how often I saw stripes: mainly blue & white, but also black & white. However, what is so surprising? Summer is coming, and then… Long walkings on the beach, sunbathing and adventurous yachting…

Pastels, in fact, are all hues on the colour wheel which are maximum close to white. They allow to create a lot of…
