Cake.

Oh dear! A 'dear' friend sent me this today...

Five Minute Chocolate Cake-
4 Tbs Flour
4 Tbs Sugar
2 Tbs Cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tbs Milk
3 Tsp Oil
3 Tbs Choc-chips (optional)
Splash Vanilla Essence
Coffee Mug (Large)

Add all the dry ingredients to a large mug (or two small ones) and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in milk & oil and mix well. Lastly add the chocolate chips and vanilla essence, mix again. Place mug in microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.

The cake may rise over the mug, but don't be alarmed. Allow to cool and then enjoy!

Thank-you. All that was needed over the next three weeks from hell was for my waistline to expand right before Summer. At least now that I've shared everyone elses might too.
Enjoy!

Reads.

Rightio Joe.

I love reading. I won't disclose how much time I waste reading because it's quite shameful. I do refer to it as wasteful rather than enlightening or fruitful because of the substandard my life takes on after I pick up a book. That being stated I want to recommend a couple of brilliant and enriching books!

Fashion Babylon- Imogen Edwards-Jones

Set in London, this book follows a 'fictional' fashion designer's life for six months whilst she prepares her next collection and navigates the marvelous merciless world of the fashion industry. Edwards-Jones uses interviews and accounts from real people to create the story and the events, similar to her other best-sellers Hotel Babylon and Air Babylon. It's a super interesting read that shows a very different side to the eluded glamour.

Almost French- Sarah Turnbull

After biting the bullet and taking a year off for travel and related adventures Turnbull finds herself living in France with a gorgeous Frenchman. Out of her depth in a new (and as it turns out rather unfriendly) country Turnbull illustrates the difficulty of her position whilst weaving in the comedic relief of misunderstandings and drastic differences in culture. A cute look into French life and the sophisticated culture explained in an easy to read Australian manner.

Both are super easy reads! Definitely worth re-activating your library card for!! :o)

Warm thought,

Quotes.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

Coco Chanel

As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.
Tom Ford

By the way, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.
Issey Miyake

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
Coco Chanel

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry
