Giving you sneaky peeks again, because I jjust wrte this for fun, even though I am not workingon more S2AU at the moment. It is just soemthing fun with Luna, Jim and Yam in this situation, since they are having a sleepover at Luna's, which means Gastón's house. Obviously Luna is allowed to have her ogther friends over, especially as Nina can never really be visitingthere as juat Luna's friends. Jim and Yam like know who Gastón's parensta re rom their public image, biut never known them as people. Also, added context, this is like from the middle of the part, so why Luna is sleeping upstairs now is gonna be explained and is not a mistake

“Wow we did sleep late.” Yam remarked as they walked out of Luna's room. 

“Speak for yourself. I slept like a log.” Jim yawned, “We need to do this more often. From this point on, every sleepover is at your house Luna.”

“I’m fine with that.” Luna laughed. “I’ve never had this giant of a bed, that we all fit in it and all, but now breakfast.”

“Have Gastón’a parents already come back from that thing?” Yam wondered. 

“They said they'd be back by the morning, so I think so.” Luna nodded, while laughing. “I’m sorry, it just kind of sounds funny that you call them that. I’ve gotten used to calling them by their names.”

“Well, you are basically their kid right now.” Yam remarked. “What are we supposed to call them? Mr. and Mrs. Perida?”

“Nooo,” Luna laughed again, “They really don't like that. I think Nina tried but was told to stop immediately. They just like to be called by their names, unless you are their employee or something.”

“Okay.” Jim and Jam just nodded as they started descending the stairs. 

“I know we're trying to look for a lakeside property, but I think this just calls to me right now.” 

“I agree. They always say that the arctic circle is a magical place during the winter. We could have a place to spend the New Years, make it tradition.”

“That’s settled. Let's see what properties they have available at Saariselkä for example.”

“We really need to learn how to pronounce those nordic vowels.”

Luna, Jim and Yam caught the middle of the conversation as they started walking down the second flight of the stairs that looked over the living room. 

“It is kind of weird seeing people who are all glitz and glamor on the cover of a magazine looking this normal.” Yam remarked. 

“But I guess they are normal all the time usually.”

Isla and Marco were sitting on the couch, looking completely casual. Isla was leaning her head on Marco’s shoulder, her legs curled up on the couch. She was wearing a deep purple sweatshirt and black linen pants and holding a cup of coffee in her hand, while there was another on the coffee table. 

Marco’s hoodie was half zipped up, and his arm was around Isla’s waist, while the other held a tablet that they were both looking intently at. 

“Look at this one.” Marco pointed something on the tablet screen. “Prime location, quite new, built only three years ago. Amazing views. You are the real estate agent, what do you think?”

“I like it a lot,” Isla looked closer. “The location is very good and… four bedrooms, descend sized bathroom… I really like the mixed modern and more traditional decor, although the furnishings don't really work with me.”

“We can just redo that, with some renovations.”

“That was what I was thinking.” Isla responded, while zooming on something. “Three stories too, it’s very versatile. Look at the gallery. It could be boarded up and turned into a master suite, with its own bathroom and everything. Then we could open up the ceiling a little bit and install some glass, for the northern light viewing. Then maybe add a jacuzzi on the patio. The fact that there are two kitchens too, makes it so convenient too if we have more people over or when Gastón has kids.”

“It sounds like we have already made the decision.” Marco smiled at her. “We could use it with family or by ourselves on prime time and maybe rent it out some part of the year. Make some amount in a return, or at least have it pay itself back.” 

“Weren't they out at that event the whole night?” Jim pointed out. “How are they up before us? I would sleep till the afternoon if I ‘d been p all night.”

“I think we were up the whole night,” Yam yawned. 

“They don’t even sleep late,” Luna shook her head. “They’re really into being on time and stuff.”

“Yet Gastón has often been late for practices for years.” Jim shook her head, “Don’t know where that has come from then.”

“Uugh, I am so hungry.” Luna lamented as her stomach growled. “Let’s so down.” 

“Yep.” Jim and Yam nodded as they started descending the last flights of stairs. 

“Morning girls!” Isla and Marco turned around as the girl descended on the stair onto the floor. “You slept late.”

“Yeah, I guess we did.” Luna nodded. 

“Well, it seems like you survived the evening on your own.” Marco nodded while putting the table down and picking up his cup of coffee. 

“We did.” Jim nodded, “You have a beautiful house.”

“Well, thank you.” Isla smiled, “This was a mid-2000s find, almost completely by accident. Has required a lot of renovations. but it is starting to be to our liking.” She looked at Jim and Yam, “It was Jim and Yam right? I am sorry if we are gonna ask this about a thousand times, but can you tell us your full names again, so we learn.”

“Oh, totally.” The girls nodded. “Jimena Medina. I’m from Spain, actually.”

“Yamila Sanches.” Yam nodded as well. 

“Sanches?” Marco raised his eyebrow? “Do you know Pío Sances, the airplane mechanic?”

“Yeah, I do know him.” Yam nodded, “He’s my dad. Yeah, he builds planes.”

“Your Dad’s like the best in the business.” Jim added, “Didn’t you say that the EZE airport wanted to hire him to lead some team?”

“Yeah, but Dad said that he will only take it if it'll let him take more vacation or something.” Yam shrugged. “And if he still get to keep developing that new fuel model, not I know about those.” 

The girls did not notice how Isla subtly nudged Marco who typed something on his phone. 

“Well I am sure the board of directors at EZE will have an affair offer,” Isla interjected. “The admins there are quite agreeable.”

“A lot of people want to hire Dad.” Yam shrugged again. “I guess, he goes for the one that will give him the best challenge.”

“I wish him good luck.” Marco nodded, reaching for the tablet again, and looked at Isla, “Speaking of competition, we should probably act on this if we don’t want the property swiped under our nose.”

“What property?” Luna asked, “We heard you talking about something as we walked down.”

“We are looking into buying a vacation property in Northern Finland.” Isla explained, “We kind of fell in love with the place during the summer. We think we found something promising.” 

“OKay, that sounds cool.” Luna nodded, before looking at Jim and Yam, “We need to go get breakfast now.” 

Leave it to Jim and Yam to blabble about how her Dad can be hired, in front of the person who want to hire him. The thing is that, they might know that Marco Perida is an admin at the board of directors at Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), but they don't obviously remember it right now whil they are having a casual conversation.

The Versatile Trio: Striped Band Collar Shirt, Cotton Casual Shirt, and Solid Collar Shirt

In the world of fashion, choices are aplenty, and each garment brings its own unique charm to the table. Among the myriad options available, three types of shirts stand out for their timeless appeal and versatility. The Striped Band Collar Shirt, the Cotton Casual Shirt, and the Solid Collar Shirt – each holds a special place in our wardrobes and hearts, offering distinct styles for various occasions.

1. Striped Band Collar Shirt: Timeless Elegance

The Striped Band Collar Shirt, with its minimalist yet sophisticated design, has been a fashion favorite for generations. Its most distinctive feature is the absence of a traditional folded collar, replaced by a simple band of fabric encircling the neck. The stripes, often in classic blue and white, add a touch of timeless elegance.

History and Evolution: This shirt's origins can be traced back to the 19th century when it emerged as an alternative to the rigid, formal collared shirts of the time. It gained popularity among artists and intellectuals for its relaxed, comfortable fit. Over the years, it transitioned from an undergarment to outerwear, symbolizing non-conformity and individualism.

Versatility: What makes the Striped Band Collar Shirt a wardrobe essential is its versatility. Whether worn with a tailored suit for a contemporary twist on formal attire or paired with jeans and sneakers for a casual look, this shirt adapts effortlessly to various settings. It's a testament to how a simple design can be remarkably adaptable.

Fabrics and Patterns: The shirt is available in a range of fabrics, from crisp cotton for a polished appearance to breathable linen for warm weather. Classic blue and white stripes remain ever-popular, but you can also find variations in numerous colors and patterns to suit your personal style.

Modern Interpretations: Designers continue to reinvent the Striped Band Collar Shirt with modern twists like contrasting details and slim-fit cuts, keeping it fresh and relevant for today's fashion-conscious individuals.

2. Cotton Casual Shirt: The Everyday Essential

The Cotton Casual Shirt is a wardrobe workhorse that effortlessly bridges the gap between comfort and style. Made from soft, breathable cotton fabric, it's the go-to choice for a relaxed yet put-together look.

Versatility: This shirt's versatility is its hallmark. It's equally at home in a casual office setting as it is on a weekend outing. Rolled-up sleeves and an untucked hem exude a laid-back vibe, while a tucked-in version can be smart and business-appropriate.

Fabric and Comfort: Cotton is celebrated for its breathability and comfort. It keeps you cool in the summer and provides a cozy layer in cooler months. Its natural fibers make it easy to care for and maintain.

Patterns and Colors: While solid colors like white, light blue, and pastels are timeless choices, cotton casual shirts come in a plethora of patterns and colors to suit your mood and style. From checks and plaids to florals and abstract prints, there's a cotton shirt for every taste.

3. Solid Collar Shirt: Classic Sophistication

The Solid Collar Shirt is the epitome of classic sophistication. With its traditional folded collar, it exudes an air of formality and refinement.

Formal Versatility: This shirt is a staple in any professional wardrobe. It pairs impeccably with suits, ties, and formal trousers, making it suitable for boardroom meetings, weddings, and black-tie events.

Fabric and Quality: Quality is paramount with solid collar shirts. They are often crafted from premium materials like Egyptian cotton or silk, ensuring a luxurious feel against your skin and a polished appearance.

Colors and Variations: While white is the quintessential choice for formal occasions, solid collar shirts are available in an array of colors to cater to personal preferences and dress codes. Pastels, light grays, and subtle pinstripes are popular alternatives.

Conclusion

In the world of fashion, the Striped Band Collar Shirt, the Cotton Casual Shirt, and the Solid Collar Shirt each bring their unique attributes to the table. Whether you're aiming for timeless elegance, everyday comfort, or classic sophistication, these shirts rtoffer a range of options to suit your style and occasion.

Selecting the appropriate fabric is crucial in soft furnishing. Different materials offer various levels of durability, texture, and maintenance needs. Popular fabrics include cotton, linen, velvet, and silk, each with its own benefits and aesthetic appeal.

Challenges in Soft Furnishing

While soft furnishing can enhance a space, there are some challenges homeowners may face:

Choosing the Right Fabric: With numerous fabric options available, selecting the best one for durability and aesthetics can be overwhelming.

For creative individuals, DIY soft furnishing projects like making custom cushion covers or refurbishing old furniture with new fabric can be a fun and budget-friendly way to personalize home decor.

Challenges in Soft Furnishing

While soft furnishing can enhance a space, there are some challenges homeowners may face:

Choosing the Right Fabric: With numerous fabric options available, selecting the best one for durability and aesthetics can be overwhelming.

Maintenance and Cleaning: Different materials require specific cleaning methods. Silk and velvet, for instance, need delicate care.

Coordinating Colors and Patterns: Ensuring that patterns and colors complement each other can be tricky, leading to a cluttered or mismatched look.

Budget Constraints: High-quality soft furnishings can be expensive, making it difficult to achieve a luxurious look on a budget.

Fading and Wear: Constant exposure to sunlight and daily use can cause fading and wear over time.

Step-by-Step Guide to Enhancing Your Space with Soft Furnishing

Step 1: Define Your Style and Theme

Before purchasing any soft furnishing, decide on a theme. Whether it’s modern, classic, bohemian, or minimalist, having a clear vision will help in selecting appropriate items.

Step 2: Choose the Right Fabrics and Materials

Opt for fabrics that suit your lifestyle. If you have pets or kids, durable and stain-resistant fabrics like microfiber or leather may be ideal.

Step 3: Select a Color Palette

Stick to a color scheme that complements your existing furniture and walls. Neutrals offer versatility, while bold colors make a statement.

Step 4: Mix Textures and Patterns Wisely

Layering different textures such as silk, wool, and linen adds depth to a room. Mix patterns carefully to avoid overwhelming the space.

Step 5: Consider Functionality and Comfort

Choose soft furnishings that offer practical benefits. For instance, blackout curtains help in blocking light, while plush rugs add warmth to wooden floors.

Step 6: Arrange and Accessorize Thoughtfully

Once you've selected your soft furnishings, arrange them in a way that enhances the space. Use throw pillows to add a pop of color, or drape a stylish throw blanket over a couch for an inviting look.

Step 7: Maintain and Update Regularly

Keep your soft furnishings clean and replace items periodically to maintain a fresh and stylish appearance.

The Ultimate Guide to Standard Lamp Shades

When it comes to interior design, lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and functionality of a space. One of the key elements in any lighting scheme is the lampshade.

In this guide, we'll explore different types of lamp shades, including designer, hospitality, printed, and self-adhesive, to help you make an informed choice for your home or business.

What are Standard Lamp Shades?

Standard lamp shades are the quintessential lamp shades that fit most table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling lights.

Choosing the Right Standard Lamp Shade

When selecting a standard lamp shade, there are several factors to consider to ensure it complements your space and meets your needs.

Size and Shape

A general rule of thumb is that the height of the shade should be about two-thirds the height of the lamp base, and the width of the shade should be twice the width of the base. Common shapes include drum, empire, bell, and square.

Material

The material of your lamp shade can significantly impact the light quality and overall aesthetic. Popular materials include:

Fabric: Offers a soft, diffused light and comes in a wide range of colors and textures.

Paper: Lightweight and often used for more delicate designs.

Metal: Provides a more industrial look and directs light downward, creating a focused beam.

Glass: Offers a more traditional or vintage look, often featuring etched or stained designs.

Color and Pattern

The color and pattern of your lamp shade should complement your existing decor. Neutral colors like white, beige, or gray offer versatility and blend well with most color schemes. If you're looking to make a statement, consider bold colors or intricate patterns.

Maintaining Your Lamp Shades

To keep your lamp shades looking their best, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips for cleaning different types of shades:

Fabric Shades: Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mild detergent and water.

Paper Shades: Gently dust with a dry cloth or a feather duster.

Metal Shades: Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Glass Shades: Clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth for a streak-free finish.
