Today was a good day

Whilst I complete the final stages of my website I thought I might do a little post over here about my day today. It's nice to be able to reflect positively, can any of us say we do that enough of have I not shook the winter blues yet? 

Anywho today was my day off and I decided it was time to try my hand at baking some dishes I'd promised myself I would. Granola and focaccia. 

Hand making bread takes a long time, you'll need a couple of hours! Yet it is so rewarding when it's finally ready and the compliments start flowing. Being a fanatic of Italian food, I sought to make this olive oil and rosemary based flatbread and I'm very happy with the results. Perfect when served warm with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip in. 

In between waiting for my bread to prove and tidying up my dresser I made granola  (with so many nommy ingredients). It's so easy to whip up and add ingredients to your liking.

I am looking forward to sprinkling this on my porridge tomorrow morning before work. 

I got a few bits done and also was delighted to get a few out of the blue compliments on my modelling portfolio today. 

All in all a productive day off! 

Thanks for reading

I went to see the new Star Trek film and loved Zachary Quinto's performance as Spock and also Simon Pegg's performance as Scotty! Two of my friends came to visit me and we trekked up a massive hill to enjoy a few drinks with a stunning view of my village. We polished up our Ronart 'Doris' and Razda sure enjoyed it! My dress for a wedding I'm going to this weekend arrived, its from Lipsy and I really love its grecian style, can't wait to wear it!

The Greenhouse

Hasn't the weather been lovely this past week or so? I've been a busy gal; studying, cooking, preparing for a fashion show I'm appearing in this week for a friend at college and cat/plant sitting. Amongst all this I've managed to fit in seeing some old friends, I've picked up a book for the first time in a few months and actually finished it this weekend and I've also made a film this weekend of an outing we had in Doris as well as taking a few photos. Very rewarding!

Visual Update #7

01. Beautiful hand picked Forget Me Nots and Cowslips. I've found myself taking so many pictures of flowers and blossom recently as the weather gets nicer! 

02. Residing out in the bonnie sticks of Bucks (and having a massive back garden) we often get visits from a plethora of wildlife. Meet this little muntjac munching on one of our flowerbeds. I wish they weren't so timid so I could have got a closer look! 

03. Last weekend I made the voyage to Asda (a cheap and cheerful haven of a supermarket) and brought lots of veggies and fresh food. Although I adore eating such foods they tend to go off in a matter of days so with a 'waste not, want not' attitude I committed to two days of mushroom eating. Pictured are some home made garlic portobello mushrooms and a side salad of mainly rocket, basil and pepper. Give me all of the rocket/basil in the world and I'll be a happy girl. 

04. My good friend and talented artist Kitty Wilcox has released her debut comic 'Fena'. Mine came in the post this week and the illustrations are magnificent! Each copy is signed, numbered and put together by hand. Buy Issue One here and support an upcoming artist! 

05. I've been working on a few lil digital graphic numbers. Its nice to fit in some art here and there! 

06. A little preview of the fashion film I recently worked on! 

So theres another a visual update from moi!

Visual Update #6

01. This was taken on set of filming our music video assignment to Macklemore's Thrift Shop. One of the dancers brought her beautiful little Bischon-Frise, Ted!

02. I haven't been able to get enough of Twinings Jasmine Green Tea recently. A.K.A Princess Tea!

03. Last week I went to my first ever auction at the Park Inn Hotel near Heathrow. It was an exciting experience and there was a lot on offer- from electronics to wine to works of art and memorabilia. My particular favourites were the signatures of all those that had been to the moon and a signed Paul Mccartney guitar. Needless to say the bids got crazy and we returned home empty handed. Perhaps one day, when I've made my fortune! 

04. My recent purchases include this rather dapper ensemble of a beyond retro hat and PPQ London leather creepers!

05. On Wednesday I went to the London College Of Fashion to model some lovely footwear designed by final year student Rosie Beagent. I loved her rubber boots! In just under two hours we were done as it was pretty much parts modelling and Rosie gave me a lovely card to say thank you, no client has ever done that before- how sweet!

06. It was my best friend's birthday yesterday so we had a little shindig on Friday. It was great to catchup with her, my sister and other friends!

07. Yesterday was an errand running/shopping day. I stumbled across this twee postcard in an organic shop in Marlow. Its definitely me to a tea!

08. I interviewed another FNOOB resident for our ongoing feature ' MEET TEAM FNOOB'. I love doing these little interviews and finding out interesting tidbits about the team! You can read the latest instalment here.

So thats a little insight into my last week or so, how has yours been? Do let me know by commenting below or tweeting me!
