Dinner at the neighbours!

Today I am having a day at home, I would really like to go to the store and pick up my package from H&M. I hope it's my new hat! But the store is 20 kilometers away. And I don't have a car. I do have two kids. So I guess I won't be picking up any package today....

Tonight however we are invited over to have dinner with some very dear friends! Looking forward to it! Hat or no hat! ;)

Tee from Aeropostale (I accidentally customized it with tea the first time I used it...), tank Aero also, the world's most comfy stretch jean skirt from KappAhl, random cutoff tights, sandals H&M, necklaces Asos, mom's and grandma's, bracelet KappAhl and the chapped hands of a gardener/mom/baker/cook.

An Apple A Day!

Apples are such wholesome fruits. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An apple for the teacher. But on the other hand according to Bible-tradition the apple also is part responsible for the original sin. I guess we just like apples us humans. At least I do.

So today I decided to make apple pie. I looked through a whole bunch of recipes and then decided to concoct my own. I put apple slices in a buttered pie dish. Then I wisked together two eggs, some sugar, a little bit of vanilla and milk which I poured onto the apples. After that I mixed oats, some butter, raw sugar, syrup, flour and a little bit of baking soda. I put this on top of the apples and the egg mixture. I sprinkled some cinnamon on top. Then I baked it in the oven for about 30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.

Et voilà!

It was really good! This is all that was left after our family of four had stuffed ourselves!

I also like the way apples look. Here's some tasty fashion from my jewelry box.

More Disney Couture!

Disney couture, a grown-up way to show your childish love for all things Disney. They hired Kidada Jones to design for them, a smart move. In 2005 she designed jewellry inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Jones friends Nicole Richie and Lindsey Lohan were spotted wearing pieces from the collection, that probably helped sales. But really, I think the pieces sell themselves.

The wrap bracelets are bestsellers and now come in a lot of different themes. I really like the look, and fairy tales are SO in this year. Why were they ever out?!

They ARE called Couture for a reason though and as a fashionista on a budget,

I cannot always get what I want.

 

But I could get this. This Tinkerbell themed knock-off cost me 35 sek, around $ 5 at swedish KappAhl. Compare to around 1500 sek, just over $ 200 for the real thing.
