Sparkling everyday outfit ideas

I do like compfy clothes and cozy outfits, but still I'm a girl, wannabe lady :D That's why I started to look for some sparkle in my fall wardrobe. Let's se what I found.
1. Cozy sweatshirt with sparkle and sprinkly purse I founded at fashionistatrends.com. And Also I like scarf, maybe I will try to DIY it :) A Sweatshirt with subtle for details would be a great addition to work wardrobe.
2. Another great way ir sparkly heel being paired with an everyday outfit. I like to pair basic everyday or boyfriend style jeans with a sparkly heel.
3. Blazer, Jacket, Jumper are great if I'm looking for something that I can wear from day to night. It will easy transform into the night outfit if I want to go out with friends, I think a fully sequined blazer is great for social events.
4. Just a little, thiny something special to add some SOMETHING SPECIAL to our's everyday work or school outfits.
5. While I always tought that sparkly trousers are made only for partying , they actually work for eberyday if You have a talant to dress them down with a slouch sweater or some matt cape.
6. Sparkling skirt, I never had or wanted skirt like this, but when I saw this on www.glitterandgrace.com, I finded out that I don't want them! I NEED them.


Have a Nice Sparkly fall!

All I Know About French Wine

France is one of the largest wine producers in the world.The wines produced ranges from expensive High end  wines to more modest wines. The style of French wines echoes that of the French themselves - elegant, well dressed, showing an appreciation for the good things of life but never to excess. No other country in the world produces a larger volume of quality wine than France.
French wines can be confusing because they rarely put the name of grape on the bottle. Instead they put a controlled place name, appearing on the lable as the AOC. France was the first country to legislate a system to codify viticultural and horticultural practices and protect geographical names of origin. Today, France has over 400 different appellations d'origine contrōlee (AOC).
There are ten major wine growing regions in France, plus a number of smaller.
* Bordeaux Wine, and growing region
* Bourgogne Wine, and Burgundy Region
* Champagne 
* Cognac 
* Côtes du Rhône
* Jura Wines
* Languedoc ( blog post at December 3, 2014)
* Loire Valley ( blog post at December 10, 2014)
* MédocThe Médoc ( blog post at December 17, 2014)

It's all about Champagne


Champagne is the name ot the world's most famous sparkling wine, it's also the name of appellation under which it is sold, and it's the French wine region from which it comes. The first wines produced in Champagne, more than thousand years ago, were unlike these we know today, there was nothing like the variety of styles we now enjoy.
Champagne's fame and success is, of course, bubbles, which make it stand out from less exciting wines, which make it feel somewhat exclusive and special.
Champagne region lies at thr northen edge of the world's wineyard growing areas. It is kind of cool climate, the growing season is rarely warm enough to ripen grapes to the levels required for standart winemaking.
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the primary grape varieties used to make Champagne. Once upon a time, a much larger range of varieties was used, but this has been refined over the centuries.
Each Champagne variety has it's own particular qualities and benefits:
*Pinot Noir contributes good palate weight and darker meaty aromas
* Chardonnay is said to bring elegance and finesse to Champagnes, along with certain creamy roundness, fruity aromas.
The production process for Champagne is similar that for other wines, but includes an additional stage, during which a second fermentation is started in the bottle by the addition of yeast and sugars.This generates the carbon dioxide bubbles responsible for the pop and sparkle.

Enjoy Your flute of bubbling drink and remember - You can find something to celebrate in every day of Your amazing life <3

Happiness is a state of mind


Sure , owning luxury car would be nice, but is this make me happy? NO!
How can I know that?
Because I'm happy without it!
How can I be happy? I'm happy for what I have. Being happy for me doesn't mean that I have everything I want or everything is perfect. No! Not at all. It just means that I have decided to look beyond the imperfections.
Why?
Because, no matter how hard I try, my life doesn't always look exactly like I want it to. I actually can even say that it mostly doesn't. But, for me, it is not a reason to not enjoy it. Foe example, at the moment I'm working from home, which means, I don't have a fancy office, classy dressed personal or assistant. Am I sad?
NO!
I'm always home, I can clean up and think about next blog posts, I can see my cat all day, I can take "no make up day"whenever I want...
Maybe it is because I am that kind of person who always can find something good, that is just the way I am and actually I wish this for You all!
happy new year :)
