THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR - WARM WINTER COLOURS

And so she decide to start living the life she'd imagined...

The last day of the year 2014. Returning home, stop to make a few photos standing besides the wall where Derek Walcott name is written: a St. Lucian poet and playwright, a legend in St. Lucia and the Caribbean. I am in the moment, sun is shining, and I am about to make a jump with both arms out in the air.

Can you believe it that all the excitement created on the New Year is merely over, as I lay in bed writing this note. Write it on your heart that everyday is the best day in the year. It is not the years in life but the life in years that matter the most.

May your life be always full of life. Everyday is a moment to begin again; we do not need to wait a year to begin a new.

For me 2014 was a year of learning. I made new friends I became a better student and a better teacher. I became a better mother, lover and friend.

I started doing this blog, which was something that I have always wanted to do.

This year I made no new year’s resolution since I know now better, what needs to be done to continue to be the woman that I am and want to become.

All the very best to all of you who read this, may your life in 2015 exceed your expectation.

N0 9 - SHOP THE OUTSIDE - FASHION SHOP

I love new clothes if everyone could just wear new clothes everyday I reckon depression wouldn't exist anymore.

Shopping is cheaper than the psychiatrist

The theme of the window is fairly tale, tale of snow white. Beautifully hang clothing, waiting to be touched. Lovely angel lamp on the ceiling, oozing a feeling of serenity. Lydia wanted a simple name for her boutique hence the name The Outside. The outside is the first thing people see when they look at you.

You first show the world yourself but not really, who you truly are, but the first impression is always based on your outer look. The shop is located on a side street from two main exits in the city, but hard to recognize immediately, so somehow the boutique is also on the outside of the inside of the city. (Korte Houtstraat 9).

Lydia has been in business for 15years, “I say longevity”. She is 100% Dutch, but somehow seems Danish, she is often mistaken for Danish, maybe it is the shiny blond hair and blue eyes.

Her favorite designer is Munthe, a Belgium designer. The shop stocks various brands such as Munthe, bruunbazaar, hoss interopia, Ross Vanderkerckhove, jewelry by Petra Reijrink and much more.

Her style is feminine, edgy, funky, and casual, with a twist of masculinity and bohemian. Therefore, her style is a lot like her shop. There is certainly something for everyone. The clothing is definitely not average mainstream.

She describes herself as loyal, kind sensitive woman and she loves nature. She chooses her collection on her intuition; well she does almost everything with the power of intuition. Prices start of from 30 -500 euros, depending on the item.

Thank you Lydia for your time it is always a pleasure.
