About Perfume

The connection between age and scent choices is largely dependent on emotion and life experience -- and marketing. says Susan Carpenter of LA Times

sweet times

this picture has not much to do with clothes, and yet it does. The bathing suit is a very important piece of clothing.
even if you are 2and a half years old like my son in this picture.

short skirt and platform slip on shoes


I often like to ad to a light colored skirt a darker top. In this case I chose a shirt with floral design that has sequence on the front, that reminds me of old times but has a new fresh look. The small shoulder strap bag has sequence embroidered on it as well and has a maroon liliac shade.
The jewelry adds a young note to the outfit. Mix styles, it always pays off.
To a short skirt (above knees) I like to have comfy slip on flat shoes. The shirt and the shoes have similar colors, the maroon-red.. The striking necklace has a red bead that adds a nice accent to the whole set.
I always were a bracelet. I have thin writs so I like to were bracelets. You can do a lot with such an accessory. Perfect look to finish.

Stuffed Kohlrabi with Meat and Rice





8 Kohlrabi
2 large green peppers
tomato sauce ( 1 can of 2 lb or 1 Kg.)
2 pounds of ground beef
1 cup of uncooked rice
2 large onions, finely chopped (optional) I don’t use it
3 teaspoons of salt
1 level teaspoon of pepper
6-7 stalks of fresh parsely, chopped (using 2-3 inches of the stems as well)

How to Prepare:

Gather the vegetables you planned for this dish and do a "test run" before cooking so you are sure that they will fit in the pan.

In a baking pan approximately 16 x 14 (size used here), place vegetables comfortably close. Kohlrabys and smaller peppers should be placed standing on end; ( you can use zucchini, or only green peppers)
Choose vegetables based on your preference.
Wash the vegetables carefully and then peal, the kohlrabys that is (not the peppers).

With a paring knife, cut the caps off the tops of vegetables and set aside, take a spoon, and scoop out the pulp (see photo).

Place chopped kohlraby pulp in a large bowl . Take the ground beef, onions, rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and chopped parsley, mix by hand until well blended.

Tip: The filling should be the texture of thik sauce - not liquid.
(See how to scoop and stuff with photo.)

Preheat stove to 175°C (325°F )

With a spoon, carefully fill each of the vegetables very loosely with the meat and rice mixture. Cover with caps or leave it open. Place in the pan, add the tomato sauce and kohlraby pulp. Cover the pan.
Cook at 175°C for one hour .
Ready to serve !!

Cloudy Summer Day fashion outfit

I would suggest for this day as the weather is mixed, not very hot but the sun light reminds us that is summer.
For the classical young at heart women wear the following: the good old but the perfect pair of jeans with a white collar (not classical) shirt. You should wear ballerina shoes, of a bright color like red, turquoise or terracotta orange and depending on that you should add some accsesoiries...the belt you pick could be a longer scarf, while the jewllery has to be rather "dressed down", and in proportion to your body.
Your choice of hairstyle, eyewear, handbag, will enhance your style.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TODAY

Do you have a closet full of clothes and still feel, you have nothing to wear?

Are you standing too every night exhausted in front of your gigantic overfilled closet, having to decide what to wear tomorrow?

If you can recognize yourself in the picture above, you came to the right place to share funny stories about those hilarious moments with women around the world.
Let's blog about how we pick our wardrobe for the next day and who knows, learn from each other.
Maybe we can post an outfit a day!
