Fashiontoast me Rumi!

Simply adore Rumi Neely! Will never forget her saying " why do people want to be stylist? Why would they want to dress up people for fun, I on the other hand dress myself up for fun" Itswhatilove xoxo

Bohemian Lover part deux

The practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, involving musical, artistic or literary pursuits, always had this effect on me. I do not really know why.. I feel.. free... is it crazy? I feel comfortable and numb of all kind of negative feeling when I see/dress/feel bohemian. My mother always said she loved the way I dress when I dress this way ( Hence the Gypsy in my previous life analysis) To me, it is truly one way to express one self as a dreamer. Like Lomography! Just few random pictures found here and there. Itswhatilove! xoxo

Can I get a Bora Bora

Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. 

So here I am planning my next trip where my brain can finally shut down with no excuses and let the turquoise ocean engulf me as I grasp and capture the moment, pretending that i am  one of them.. those people that just lay here for a living.. doing absolutely nothing!  Here are few links and pictures. enjoy! itswhatilove

Her Recipe, Her Rules

Cooking. Some would say one cannot cook, without even having tried! cooking is an art, say no if you must, its my blog and you can cry if you want to! :) although yes you are entitled to your own opinion, cooking is fabulous, cooking is spiritual, self discovering, ( you can tell i love my stomach) so when i never lifted a pan in my life, i told my sisters that today, for 1 year, i have been cooking. They have been skeptical but with the constant support of my husband, my closest friend ( she cooks like a star) and of course one  cannot go without saying my mother, we discovered a 4th supporter and i simply cannot live without her and also should not live with to be quite honest. Nigella Lawson's fantastic recipes are just NEVER ever wrong! Oh, and she does not give you a million and one ingredients to work with, just few which are the 101 of cooking and voila, makes one of THE best recipes especially quickies ( for deserts :) ) yes my dress doesnt fit as good as it used to.. but, but , but ( wait for it..) I enjoyed myself, learned, and cant stop feeling good about the fact that I CAN COOK! now, i just have to find a diet book!  i just make it for my lovely guests who loves and can splurge! :) Here is a favorite of mine, her website is on the title link! Happy cooking!

Ingredients

• 125g soft butter
• 300g best-quality dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
• 3 x 15ml tablespoons golden syrup
• 200g Rich Tea biscuits
• 100g mini marshmallows
• 2 teaspoons icing sugar for dusting

Method

1. Melt the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a heavy-based saucepan. Scoop out about 125ml of this melted mixture and put to one side.
2. Put the biscuits into a freezer bag and then bash them with a rolling pin. You are aiming for both crumbs and pieces of biscuits.
3. Fold the biscuit pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture in the saucepan, and then add the marshmallows.
4. Tip into a foil tray (24cm square); flatten as best you can with a spatula. Pour the reserved 125ml of melted chocolate mixture over the marshmallow mixture and smooth the top.
5. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
6. Cut into 24 fingers and dust with icing sugar by pushing it gently through a tea strainer or small sieve.

 Thank you Nigella!!!
