WINTER WONDERLAND

Betty John — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 18:39:24 +0000

It is snowing so rarely in Luxembourg that we were so delighted when the new year brought us lot of snow. The forest next to our home turned into a beautiful winter wonderland , it felt like were were on ski vacation. Mindy was so happy that she could try her sleigh she got from Santa. It was just the nature and us (and no masks… ) and we even got a bit lost when trying to find our way back to the car.

I put on my Timberlands and was ready for the hike. For outfit details scroll down.

Sweater: Camaieu

GOODBYE SUMMER

Betty John — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 12:35:35 +0000

One last blogpost about our holiday in Croatia before the autumn kicks in. After staying at the nice Potovosce beach, we visited the nearby Vrbnik old town, this time matching our lavande dress from Arket. I realized that my dress doesn`t really look so good on photos but I can tell you it`s the most comfy on hot summer days. Mindy is rocking hers for sure. I also got myself a souvenir, this white handmade woven clutch, it goes so well with almost every summer outfit.

Dress: ARKET
Sandals: Zara / H&M Kids (Mindy)

We really had great time in Croatia this July, have you seen the past two blogposts?

Cheers,
Betty

POLKA DOTS

Betty John — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 09:38:37 +0000

On the last day of our croatian summer holiday we went to Baska Old Town and I put on this cute polka dot mini dress. As we like to do matchy-matchy, Mindy wore her polka dot tee. We didn`t even know that Baska will have so nice colorful walls, matching our outfit.

It was one of the hottest days and my Canon 450D stopped working, so we had to take the photos with iphone after all. Its not the first time that the weather is too hot for the Canon to work (while in the winter the same happens with my iphone). Good that they wouldn`t give up on me in the same season. Did you have similar experiance?

Dress & slide-in slippers: Zara
Bag: Handmade croatian souvenir

Have you gone to summer holiday this year?

Summertime

Betty John — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:50:35 +0000

A month ago we were still speculating if we can go on holiday this summer and it turned out to be one of the best vacations!
We were supposed to fly to Mallorca but decided to drive to Croatia instead and rent an appartment with pool, we booked one of the Pax Houses near Krk and from there within 30 minutes drive visted several beaches. The sea at Croatia is wonderful, look at this crystal clear blue water!

When we visited this beach close to city of Vrbnik called Beach Potovosce, I was wearing this light yellow dress from ARKET.
It is so light and comfy, it can be worn as beach dress as well as casual evening dress when styled differently.

Many of you asked how was the covid situation in Croatia, at Krk island where we went the atmosphere was relaxed, everyone wore mask at supermarkets, shops while in restaurants and beach bars only the waiters did. We all got used to this routine by now.
We found less crowded beaches and keeping distance was not an issue. Also, it was good having a private pool at our rental house, as we could spend half day just between us and the other half at the beach and to visit the old towns in the evening. It was about finding the right balance and I must say we enjoyed this holiday a lot despite the current circumstances.

What about you? Have you been or planning to go on holidays this year? What was your experience?

Cheers,
Betty

HOME OFFICE

Betty John — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 20:14:35 +0000

Hey Guys,
Who else is working from home during these covid times?
I was thinking of sharing with you some of my home office outfits in this post.

What I like to wear at home while working is a kind of Friday casual style, but from Monday to Friday! (Wearing jogging would be too casual for me though, I rather wear it on weekends, even during this long quarantine). In case I have a video call, I would wear a loose shirt or blouse with leggings, on other days I like to wear skinny jeans with comfy light knit top (if I was going to office I would combine these tops with a tweed skirt and high heels) or a polo t-shirt. On colder days I would wear cozy pull with leggings.

Makeup or no-makeup?
Even if working from home, I still like to put on some make-up, but just the basics: BB cream & mascara, maybe some cream eyeshadow. It`s a kind of morning ritual, that puts me in ready to work mood.

Hair: I must confess, I don`t iron my hair these days, I just let it dry. Most of the times I put it in pony tail or braid it.
Indeed, when my daughter saw me ironing my hair, she asked if we are going to Coyote (a restaurant near by). I had to tell her that the restaurants are still closed and mom is just doing her hair for photoshoot

WEDNESDAY

It was quite a long time, since I posted the last outfit article, but here comes a new one. So what happened in the past six moths? At the beginning of this year I changed job, and with it I had to update my wardrobe as well, as it requires a more formal dress code. One of the items I got myself quickly was a pencil skirt. In this post I will show you three different ways how I wear it.

GOLDEN LEAFS

Betty John — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:30:07 +0000

I love this part of the year, where the streets are covered by golden leaf carpet. Last weekend we went to the woods to take some photos and have a nice walk. Mindy loved playing with the leafs.

Autumn basics are the most comfy for going out in the weekends, I choose a cosy pullover, slim jeans and my favourite hiking boots. Mindy was wearing a warm knit jacket, jeans and her horse riding boots (they are so practical, I like to wear mine on rainy days too).

Not to miss my latest favourites! The Daniel Wellington Classic dusty rose bracelet and Classic Petite Durham watch, I wear them every day. You can still use my code BETTYFASHION to get 15% discount on www.danielwellington.com
