Spring-series VI.
Springtime ignites a whole
new attitude in city dwellers. The heavy layers shed, the Frisbees start
flying, and a state of happiness sets in. With sunny weather comes happy days.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is one of the best-loved novels of all time and today, it's more popular than ever.
When
the wealthy and very eligible bachelor Charles Bingley purchases an estate in
the Bennets' small town, he and the beautiful Jane immediately fall in love.
But Bingley's arrogant friend Darcy just as quickly alienates Lizzy when she
overhears him speaking dismissively of her.
These first impressions have lasting repercussions for Jane, Elizabeth, and their whole family.
Rich
in wit and wisdom, humor and humanity, Pride and Prejudice takes a probing,
entertaining look at the nature of love, money, and power in Georgian England.
“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from
admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.” Jane Austen
Even when it rains outside, we’ve
got some idea what to do indoors. Let’s start with something gracious,
something very english – a required reading for day-dreamers:

Spring-series V.
„Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it
were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into
the heart of the night.” Maria Rilke
Spring is green, tender, and
alive. It’s the childhood stage of the seasons of transitions where innocence
and purity permeate the atmosphere.
Spring seems to bring a rebirth to all of nature. The blossoms arrive, the yellow daffodils and
tulips show their colors, and the trees begin to display the light green shades
of new leaves. Our gardens begin to show
signs of new life as the vegetables rise from the soil. Spring means rebirth.
For animals, this season
is a time of emergence and migration. Insects and hibernators emerge from their
winter sleeping places.
Birds stake out their breeding, nesting and feeding territories so they may raise their young. The air is filled with birdsong.
Bees and bee mimics fly
through the air to pollinate trees, shrubs and native flowers. Butterflies
emerge after overwintering in tree crevices, as adults. Salamanders, toads and
frogs emerge from hibernation. Frogs sing their mating songs.
„The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.” Bern Williams

Spring-series IV.
With what feels like months of cold, wet weather
behind us - and who knows how many more ahead, now’s the time to start dreaming
of spring and unleashing your spring/summer things from their winter storage
hell.
Looking flowery and graphically bold, futuristic and
charmingly antiquated, style is at crossroads. Vintage clothing can help you
cover the vast territory for spring.
This
spring and summer before you even step foot in a store, we invite you to first
go through and have a look at what you already have from last summer and even
treasure from years ago.
You would be amazed on how easy it is to recraft your spring summer fashions
with style and color. A great way to revitalize your wardrobe with a fresh new look,
is to paint on it. At style with fabulous designs and colours.
It
is a pleasure when you wear something unique and it’s all done by
you.
To made creative accessories you do not have to be designer, either.
Homemade accessories you can do alone at home. All you need is a little time and good mood to produce something by yourself.
Here is an idea that you can combine with yours and you will become an accessories designer.
It is not that hard to made something unique that you will call it by your own brand “Homemade”.

up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on
that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of
that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.” Swami Vivekananda

Spring-series III.
For travelers seeking affordable prices, small crowds and pleasant
weather, spring is the perfect time of year to travel. Many destinations are at
their best during the spring, when temperatures are warm but not too hot,
lively seasonal festivals are going on, and blooming flowers set parks and
gardens ablaze with color.
Our stunning spring destinations are wonderful to visit throughout the year, but each place is especially dazzling and unforgettable in the spring.
Paris, France
There are lots of reasons that the old song lauds Paris in the spring, but here's just one of many: the city's famous gardens and parks are simply breathtaking this time of year.
A few days of strolling past 17th-century fountains, banana trees, roses and majestic sculptures nestled in the leafy hidden corners of Parisian gardens will make you too fall in love with springtime in the City of Lights.

The Netherlands
You've seen pictures of those iconic flower fields in the Dutch
countryside, but a real-life look at the massive fields is an unforgettable and
astonishing experience.
The Keukenhof Gardens,
open from March to May, are one of the best places to see more than seven
million tulips in full, vivid splendor.
Another fantastic way to see Holland's flower fields is to take a
bicycle tour along the Flower Bulb Route in North Holland.
April is the best month to go to the Netherlands if you want to see blooming daffodils, and for the best views of the
tulip fields at their peak, visit in May.
