Love to Love # 2



'Skinny' Baking: If you've read any of my 'Operation Disco Pants' posts, you will know my love of a food blog called 'Skinny Taste'.  I don't know how Gina does it but she consistently creates naughty tasting food in health conscious way.  I've spent my Sunday recreating two of her baking recipes - Amazing Flour-less brownies (with a secret ingredient, black beans!) and an old favourite, Mango Nut Bread.

Dune Dlocket Bag.  One of the prettiest bags I've owned, Dune's 'Dlocket' bag feels like it has been surgically attached to me this week.  I'm in love with how structured it is and it's beautiful deep red colour.  Unfortunately the red version seems sold out everywhere but can still be found in navy on the Dune website.

Dance with Dragons. I am a huge 'Game of Thrones' fan and have slowly been working my way through the books.  I've found that I've needed to take a small break between reading each book - I started 'A Dance with Dragons' this week and already can't put it down.

Pukka Original Chai.  I've been loving Pukka's 'Original Chai' this week - it tastes quite strongly of cinnamon and ginger and went beautifully with a slice of fresh-out-the-oven mango nut bread this afternoon!

Lush Rose Jam Bubbleroon.  This has to be one of my favourite products I've tried from Lush in a long time.  It smells amazing - just like the Ro's Argan body conditioner and creates a beautifully bubbly bath.

Topshop Blazer.  I loved how this white blazer from Topshop looked with my H + M faux fur stole this week.

Watching.  I've became addicted to 'American Horror Story' over the last couple of weeks, I'm currently half way through Asylum - have any of you watched it?  I think I'm slowly falling more and more in love with Evan Peters.

Online.  Eden's blog 'Sugar and Charm' is one of the best online discoveries I've made this year so far.  I love the idea behind her blog: 'add a little charm to the everyday'!


Lots of Love
