Find Of The Month - Décor

I just have a major crush on this sleek, elegant and minimalistic silver jewelry box by ZARA HOME. It revealed the perfect sophisticated accent for my new white console . It is its primary(focal) piece as I wanted it to look clean, minimalist and simple in order to create  an expertly styled, magazine-worthy vignette look.

Find Of The Month - Fashion

These were love at first sight not only because they came in two of my favouyrite colours, but also because metallic benaies are a great way of adding shine and charm to this dreary winter days. as soon as I laid my eyes on them at ZARA I just knew I had to have them. Every time I wear them I get so many compliments and people want to know where they can get one. Theycan turn a bad hair day to a great day or they can take any outfit to super trendy in a snap. Have you got one already?

Too Good Not To Post It Right Away

Lemon, Coconut, Cream and Chocolate Bits Cake

First of all - do not ever and I mean ever unmold a cake while it's still hot - an advice I should have followed myslef!!!But eventhough I've ended with a cake that slightly resembles a vulcano crater the scent it emanated throughout the shole kicthen and the deliciousness of the flavour is something that easily surpasses and almost makes forget my frustration for being so eager! This is a perfect tea time cake for these chilly, rainy winter afternoons or it can be served as a dessert for a party. Sweet chocolate chunks and tangy lemon zests come together perfectly in this dense and moist  cake with a hint of coconut.

Mix the eggs with the sugar. Add the juice and the orange zest. Add the cream, the yeast, the flour and the coconut. Bring the preheated oven to 190 ° C for about 40/50 minutes.Chop the chocolate rougly and add the bits to the dough.

Sneakers and Fur

This has been my favourite winter uniform on a daily basis way up before it became a fashion trend  and I just can't get tired of it! I love the high/low, fancy/casual vibe it conveys with a fun, funky, sassy but still polished atmosphere around it. Plus it's a great way to express our individual sense of fashion and I love the fact that it makes me feel/ look young but appropriate at all times. In this kinfd of outfit I'm in my own skin and that's the most important. Also fake furs nowadays look really great - you just have to look for the amazing options available out there. As Karl Lagerfeld once stated : "You cannot fake chic, but you can be chic and fake fur"!
