Dubbo.

Well, i'm off. To where? To Dubbo. Yes, Dubbo. Why Dubbo? Because my parentals think it will be fun. Fingers crossed. Farewell, internet, as I leave you to chill with the giraffes and elephants in central western NSW

A day filled with Net-A-Porter Goodness

When I get a credit card, i'm going to need to be handcuffed to a tree deep in the forests of Albania to stop me going on this site. If I had the money, I would seriously buy every single thing on this site and consequently blow all my money and go into a million and one dollars debt. Too many amazing clothes/bags/shoes in one place. Check it out, but be careful not to drool on your keyboard... www.net-a-porter.com

My obsessions on the heavenly site at present:

Macaroons

I saw these wonderful pieces of food on Masterchef, where the contestants tried (and failed, although I can't talk being the hopeless cook I am) to make a macaroon tower. This challenge made me have an epiphany.
I LOVE MACAROONS!
Not the ones on Masterchef (they were olive flavoured), but chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ones. I never thought I would say this but:
OMNOMNOMNOM


Here is a simple recipe for these heavenly delicacies for non-cooking types like me, who are better at eating the products of cooking than cooking them:

CHOCOLATE MACAROONS
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cups butter
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup milk
3 cups oatmeal
6 tsp cocoa

1. Melt butter and cocoa first (that way its smooth). Add milk and sugar.
2.Bring to boil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add coconut and oatmeal.
3.Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper and leave to cool.

Enjoy!

Love it.

Found this while procrastinating on my favourite blog in the whole wide universe. Jean-Pierre Timbaud, on the street in Paris, France. Click on it to make it bigger!

The Sartorialist (check it out- http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com) is the blog by Scott Schuman, AKA the pioneer of fashion photography in blog form.

In his own words:
"I thought I could shoot people on the street the way designers looked at people, and get and give inspiration to lots of people in the process. My only strategy when I began The Sartorialist was to try and shoot style in a way that I knew most designers hunted for inspiration"
