Panda Catcher

 I have returned from Cornwall. It feels odd being back in London but in a nice way. Lots of projects to get started on and exciting new ideas to think about.

These pictures were taken for my mum's new exhibition 'China, China' , check out her website for more info , Penny MacBeth Gallery.
I found this great panda jacket in a charity shop in Cornwall, it was £4, such a brilliant bargain. The hat was acquired at the same time and the trousers and shoes are also charity shop finds. I am sipping a singapore sling, my new favourite cocktail; gin, cherry brandy and lemonade topped with a maraschino cherry (or at least thats our version !) YUM!

Spells.

A few months ago a lovely lady from a blog called Style East snapped my photo at the bank holiday Affordable Vintage Fair  in Spitalfields. Here are the results ! I like what she ( I don't know her name sorry!) has written I think she got my vibe quite right. I was feeling very witchy and even though it was swelteringly hot, I was longing for autumnal days! The velvet skirt is vintage ghost, that I picked up in a charity shop on Goodge street on the day I started university, a very good find. The shirt was nabbed from my mum and the cape is actually a poncho that Josh's granny gave me and all the charms on my necklaces are my grannies! So its a very beg, borrow, steal outfit but I guess quite a lot of my clothes are like that.

Its always seems strange reflecting on outfits, I look at this now and think it looks a little messy but I'm in a bit of shirt and suit stage at the moment. I suppose my aesthetic is always changing !


Anyway... I'm still in Cornwall but I'll be returning to London at the end of the week, very excited to go back. However, before that I'm going to a talk at my mums gallery (Penny MacBeth Gallery) on Tarot Imagery, in fact this witchy look would be the perfect outfit !

A recipe !

The other night I was feeling rather adventurous so I decided to whip up a Pizza Bianca and what a treat it was !

Perhaps you'd like to know how I created this culinary delight?

I made some dough first of all (I did cheat a little and use a packet, it definitely would be much better using homemade dough!) to the dough I mixed in some parmesan and fresh rosemary.

I made the dough in to a pizza shape and greased and floured a tin. Popped the dough in the tin and made a little crust and left it to rise for about 20 mins.

Whilst it was rising I grated garlic very finely and chopped some fresh rosemary, an onion and a courgette.

Then I drizzled oil on the dough, sprinkled over the garlic and rosemary and some crumpled feta cheese. Then scattered the courgettes and onions and finally topped with some shredded mozzarella.

I cooked it for about half an hour at 200 degrees, but when I make pizza in my gas oven at home I usually cook them at 180 degrees for about 35 mins.

Serve with a salad of rocket and of course a chilled glass of white wine, enjoy!

p.s I also made this tomato, pepper and bacon flatbread , yummme!

Cornwall

So I am home in Cornwall. Its been amazing weather, I haven't done very much but there is something so lovely about doing very little! I have started listing some of my life possessions on ebay and planned an amazing outfit for the next preview at Penny MacBeth Gallery . I am here for another two weeks, it seems like ages but time goes so quickly here !

Ciao Ciao.

Hello darlings, Ed and I have both been a little preoccupied of late so we are sorry for our terrible laziness. However, things are going to change, I am (as of tomorrow) going home to Cornwall for 3 weeks (ek) so I'll have lots of free time! Anyway, two weeks ago Ed took me to dinner for my 21st birthday. We went to a lovely little Italian in Shoreditch and had the most delicious meal, so delicious that we nearly forgot to take any photos at all! However, we remembered just in time to capture Ed's semi-freddo pudding, yummmee.

Hasta La Muerte

I think i am in the credits somewhere???
