H&M Limited Edition Eco-Friendly Colleciton Spring 2014

H&M limited edition conscious collection

I may want each and every one of the couture-looking peaces in H&M’s Conscious Collection which will be available on April 10. The limited edition collection is the third of the mega retail store. This terrific and beautiful line is in collaboration with Ever Manifesto a sustainability think tank and publication founded by Alexia Niedzielski, Charlotte Casiraghi & Elizabeth von Guttman. This collection is inspired by a very Spanish Bohemian fashion where a matador jacket and a pair of high heeled sandals are embellished with beautiful embroidery. The
fashion pieces are made of eco-friendly materials such as organic silk and leather. I think those black embroidery shorts have my name all over them. See below pictures of H&M lookbook modeled by Andreea Diaconu.

A Lesson in Style: Sarah Rutson

Sarah Rutson is the Fashion Director at Lane Crawford. Ever since I saw her wearing the fabulous skirt, above by one of my favorite fashion designers, Dries Van Noten, I loved her unique sense of style. Her street style is never predictable. Sarah can easily go from edgy to global chic to look flawless in anything she wears.

Decorating the Kitchen with Bookshelves

Books make spaces feel warm and cozy, lots of them. Bookshelves in the Kitchen add charm and functionality to the design providing more space for cook books and also for easy to reach cooking items and utensils. But of course, kitchen shelving is not only for books they are useful for holding and displaying many other things especially collections and in the case of limited space even spices and more. Enjoy and get some decorating ideas from these images of kitchen bookshelves.

Quinoa and Sweet Potato Macaroons

Yesterday my son had a day off from school and to keep him away for his obsession with iPhones and iPads I decided to keep him busy and entertained by improvising Quinoa and Sweet Potato Macaroons. My intention was to make something that can be enjoyed in the mornings with coffee or as a snack in the afternoon.

Ingredients:
1 Big Mashed Sweet Potato
2 Cups of Quinoa Flakes
1/2 Cup of Grated Coconut
3/4 Coconut Milk
1/2 Coconut Oil
6 Drops of Vanilla Extract
Salt to Taste
Ground Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Pecans (Mashed)
Preparation:
Boil the sweet potatoes in little water almost like steaming them ( it keeps the sweetness better when compared to boiling) and mash them. Add the dry ingredients in a mixer. Combine the liquid ingredients in a bowl and slowly add them to the mixer at low speed, gradually increasing speed until it becomes a whole mixture. Making spoonfuls, place them on a Pam sprayed pan and bake for 1 hour or until you insert a fork and comes out clean.
For a sweeter taste add powder sugar and Enjoy.
