Chunky again

Mon 26 Jan, 2015 · Fashion

I was telling you about wanting “chunky” beanies: here’s the one I found at H&M. Not quite sure it’ll manage to survive the season quality wise, especially without pilling, but oh well … we’ll see!

Other than that, the temperatures we’re dealing with are leaving us no choice but to don our wool coats and other survival gear. For my part, I’m not stepping out in anything else than pants these days, and my skirts rarely see the light of day, but let’s not complain, at least I’m making the most out of my winter wardrobe!

Easy peasy recipe #1

Fri 23 Jan, 2015 · Food, Illustration

Cherry-Tomato shrimps and coconut milk

I don’t know if this will be a recurring column but I will try to share with you, at least today, a super simple recipe for Cherry-tomato shrimps and coconut milk (for 4 people) that I found at the back of a milk carton (coconut obvi) and I got it right!

This potential column would be aimed at hopeless cooks that like me who want to try and make it in the kitchen: like a hand given to someone starting from scratch.

The recipe is so simple that it is summarised in a drawing: all you need to do is add the drawn ingredients (from left to right) ending with the coconut milk, leave it on the boil a little and tadaaa ! Serve with white rice and bon appétit !

PS: Sorry for the English speakers if you don’t understand the whole drawing (I hope I drew it well!) : don’t hesitate to ask me questions in the comment section if it’s not as simple for you ! (English translation by TradIsa)

The tuxedo dress

Wed 21 Jan, 2015 · Fashion

As you know, my style tends to be more relaxed than sophisticated but I try my best to find more elegant outfits that could save my life, so let’s say: for Christmas or New Year’s Eve (to avoid thinking too much about it the week before), for parties (same reason) or for weddings (still the same reasoning).

It’s all about accessories but I have a feeling that this tuxedo dress will be useful in the future.
