Wildfox gets Clueless.


Hi, how was everyones holidays? You may have noticed, I took a month long break from social media, blogging included. I won't say it wasn't difficult. I never realised how often I mindlessly scroll through Facebook or Instagram. I have to say it was the most refreshing month, not being bombarded 24/7 by useless information is a holiday in itself. Anywho, I'm back and it feels good to be blogging again!

You may have already seen this (I have a feeling it's going to be pasted all over the blogosphere in no time), yet I couldn't resist sharing. The Wildfox SS13 campaign pays serious homage to Clueless. The IT movie of my childhood meets the IT label of today - can anyone say best collab ever?! I'm pulsing with excitement, I can't wait to get my hands on this collection. View the full story over at Wildfox.

Biblioklept | BIB-lee-uh-klept | noun;
1. A person who steals books.

As you may remember, last week I mentioned my hair would be changing colour. Et voil à! I am officially a red head. I have been having a little trouble with the Blogger photo limits so I have been using Flickr instead. I don't think it impacts my posts too drastically, but please let me know if you notice a loss of photo quality or any thing else.

Zucchini pasta with Tomato and Basil sauce.

IMG_5462

This carb-free pasta is super easy to make, incredibly delicious, and won't leave you feeling guilty and bloated. It is a perfectly refreshing and flavoursome dish to enjoy in the summer heat. This recipe uses a veggie spiralizer which can be purchased from most kitchen and homeware stores.

I have been living off this for almost a week now and I am still not sick of it. For that reason I thought I would share this guilt-free pasta recipe with you.

Ingredients:
- 4 med-lrg zucchinis
- 8 med-lrg tomatoes (if using tinned tomatoes skip steps 1 & 2)
- 2 cloves garlic (sliced, diced, or crushed as desired)
- 1 Tsp olive oil
- Basil leaves
- Salt & pepper

Method:
Pasta
1. Using your spiralizer, turn zucchini into long spaghetti-like strands. (if you don't own a spiralizer you can use a peeler to get a similar effect.)
2. Drop zucchini noodles into a pot of boiling water, cook for one minute and drain. (I personally don't do this, I prefer my noodles raw, cool, and crunchy.)

Sauce
1. Cut a small cross in the base of each tomato, place in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 mins to lift skin.
2. Remove tomatoes from water and allow to cool. Use fingers to peel away skin and crush the tomatoes to a desired consistency.
3. Add olive oil and garlic to a warm pan and cook without browning. Add tomatoes. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer.
4. Tear basil leaves into the sauce, add salt & pepper to taste.
5. Serve and enjoy.

1. Shaped like an almond.

B and I took a recent trip up north. We didn't do much aside from stuffing our faces with local produce and exploring the countryside. These photographs were taken with an old disposable camera I had lying around. They really don't do the beautiful countryside justice.

Disbosom


Disbosom | dis-BOOZ-uhm | verb;
1. To reveal; confess.

I was having a little fun playing around with light and shadows in these photographs. I couldn't decide between the flower crown or the cap, so you get to see both. My hair is almost completely blonde again, but not for long! I will be changing colours in the next week, so get ready for a surprise.

I know that I promised I would have regular and interesting posts, but work has just been killing me. However, I do have some exciting things on the way. Please don't lose faith. These photos were taken last year and their awesomeness has sadly been overlooked. Meet my baby, Oliver.
