Dear fashionistas and fashionistos,

if life gives you a lemon take it and put it on because in midsummer we are shock in love with the riviera elegance. The classy black (along with the little black dress) and white get a fresh touch with the lemon pattern or alternatively lemon yellow.

Life is not always easy, either a person steps into your life that turns everything into a chaos or there is an event taking place that destroys your perfect world. But today it is not about overcoming difficult people or discuss why they are the way they are with the aim to find the roots of the evil in order to fight them effectively and today I do not want to tell you that life is a roller-coaster with ups and downs and that we would have to accept the situation given. I want you to take the lemon and do something.

“…each life lived is the result of countless tiny decisions we make every moment that can affect one big whole.”
– Fall4Me

I admit it, sometimes things are said easier than they are done but, trust me, each life lived is the result of countless tiny decisions we make every moment that can affect one big whole. I know that not always we have the power over the happenings but at least as we have to accept a given incident we can try to make the best of the situation, and where does that start (especially when you are in a sad or down state)? First and most important make yourself happy again, if you are not happy yourself you can cheerfully influence your surrounding, dope yourself with everything that makes you happy: family, friends, hobbies (perhaps old ones that are time-consuming and you would need to dig it out again), good food, movement – walks in the nature or sports and many more… try to get out of the way of a depressing situation without escaping it. Take the given state, analyse it, why is it bad, in how far does it differ from your everyday life and affect your life, picture what would be the worst that could happen to you, use the process of elimination and pull out the positive things or how you can create a positive state out of the negative one. In the end a bad thing is only bad if you let it affect you in a negative way but you can as well turn it into a positive thing.

Lemon on Black & White: a Tangy Fresh up

Eating just to have eaten something? Separate from that thought! Like our commonly known and appreciated eating-expert Katrin Siska once told me the secret behind her being a vegetarian or simply not being a vegetarian is a kind of diet in the hot months of summer, pre-summer and post-summer because in cold countries such as Estonia or Germany our body needs the fats to protect us from the coldness whereas in summer you tend to feel lazy and sluggish and therefore need a tangy fresh up among others with lemon. So it is with the summer fashion. The strict and tensed elegance is given a summery simplicity.
