I love the Beach - Sunset Beach Park, FL.

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:24:00 +0000

The other day I discovered this new beach - Sunset Beach Park in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It's a small, intimate, little beach with just a handful of people. As I was deciding which images to capture, I saw the writing "I love the beach" on the sand. And needless to say, I just had to capture the phrase. Hence the photo above.

What's a visit to the beach without "sunset images?"

My cousin wanted me to post a photo of me. So here goes. This one I took the same day at the beach.

Enjoy the weekend, V.

Okay, so here's the deal. I have had my dreads for a few years now and I'm starting to think that I may have to cut them off and do something different with my hair again........................I'll keep my readers posted on what I decide about my dreads. Photo above was taken yesterday after work. Best V.

Tights for 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:43:00 +0000

I have always had an interest in textured, graphic tights. I used to love viewing the tights that the Look of London had on display when they came to MAGIC. So, now I finally decided to give "textured tights" a chance. I'll keep you all posted on how I wear them. Best V.

In photo above the gold wedding dress has amazing. Even though it's a wood carving, the gold glimmer made me think of how glamorous the real dress was. Image taken at Thai Restaurant, New Port Richey, FL.

Design at Gram's Hostel - Tampa, FL.

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:47:00 +0000

The design elements at Gram's Place Hostel in Tampa, Florida was electic, interesting and "going down memory lane" for me. Photo above which was at the front jazzuci section of the location, reminded me of my times in both Amsterdam and Key West, hence the photo I captured.

The Country Room

For my stay at Gram's I booked into the Country Room. When I decided which bed to claim as mine, I went for the bed that had the window just above the bed. In life there's nothing like natural light.

Joanna Berdzinska: Makeup Artist

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 06:13:00 +0000

Makeup Artisit, Joanna Berdzinska has ideas on the flawless outcome of makeup on our skin that I'd love to apply. Here are some her "do's" that I plan to follow:

Take time to find a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone.
Plan to wax or tweeze your eyebrows before an event.
Limit the coats of mascara applied to two.
Inorder to keep your skin looking fresh, Berdzinska recommends Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist.

Using my blackberry to blog?

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 23:54:00 +0000

A few months ago I bought a blackberry with the intention to use it to blog with. Needless, to say, I have yet to learn how to do so. Having said that her are new images that I just took with my blackberry:

Worthington Pumps I just added to my wardrobe.

Once I complete this post via my laptop, I'll log into Independent Fashion Bloggers and see whether I can find some information on how to blog using my BB. If anyone has tips on how to use the gadget feel free to let me know via the comment section. Till next time and continue to enjoy life, V.

Orange

noreply@blogger.com (Veronica Viljoen) — Sun, 29 May 2011 23:07:00 +0000

Last night I went to Flanagans Irish Pub in Dunedin. Of all things they had a reggae band playing. Who says the irish and reggae does not mix. I noticed that they have changed the color of the restroom wall to a bright orange. Other orange elements that I'm inserting for this post is an orange Nicole Miller handbag. And then of course one of my many sunset images. This one I took at Dunedin Beach about a week ago.

Greetings,
Till my next post - V.
