Inspiration .....Love it

What an adorable look ,totally inspired thanks to The Sartorialist

Music

Saturday night we were all invited to my friend Kims as she had 2 musicians performing at her house .Kims husband had funded them both through Kickstarter ,this amazing site that allows you to browse artists and help them realise their dreams or just give them a help to create their next project.Well In this case Dan ( Kims husband) had helped finance their next albums.Hence the free home concerts .So  we were entertained by Shakey Graves  and Matt The Electrician .Both were really entertaining and I especially loved Shakey's music ,they were both kind of folksy  .It has totally gotten me inspired to check out Kickstarter ,what an amazing idea.
Shakey aka as Alejandro Rose Garcia   ...very very talented
Matt Sever aka Matt the Electrician .....such an entertaining guy
It was a great night ,I hope these 2 go far ,fingies crossed

Bircher Muesli


I lived in Liechtenstein (small principality ) beside Switzerland for a year .The food was divine and I put on a lot of weight. My favourite thing to eat there was Bircher Muesli .This is basically yogurt mixed with rolled oats,bananas,apples and nuts with honey to sweeten.There are a million different versions.I remember coming home from my travels abroad and making Bircher Muesli for my Mom and my little brothers and sisters,they devoured it ,it was so yummy .Well recently while in Las Vegas while staying at The Mirage I had the chance to dine at their buffet for breakfast .Well I kid you not the Bircher Muesli they served was Delicious ,I would eat 3 bowls of the stuff it was so good.Once I seen a lady wander out of the kitchens and I followed her ,cornered her and got her to tell me every single ingredient they put in their Bircher Muesli.I have tried in vain to replicate it but alas it is not as good.She told me they mixed Oats,natural yogurt ,a little milk,raisons,blueberries,bananas,a little honey and chopped pecans.You are suppose to leave it to settle ,the raisons get plump the oats soften ,I usually do not have the willpower. I have been craving a bowl since I came home .

Super 8

I went to see this Friday night ,it is classic Spielberg part The Goonies, part ET ,part War of the worlds.I really enjoyed it .The kids were funny in it ,I really hope when my sons are this age we will communicate better than some of the parents in this film.I can only hope for the best :)
It also makes you wonder that if anything like this really happened ( another life form comes to our planet) would we lock it up ,tortue it and be so cruel instead of trying to help and the answer is sadly, probably Yes

Long Skirts

I absolutely adore this ,so simple but so perfect ,Kate Bosworth in Jil Sander
I love long skirts ,I picked one up in H&M ,mine was more the long floral hippy type ,I expected Marc to hate it but he actually said I looked very cute .I paired it with sandals,tiny black waistcoat and my hoop earrings ,got alot of compliments (Love when that happens)
The trick with long skirts is they need to be almost hitting the ground

So whats new !!!

Life has been a little hectic to say the least ,not long back from a week in Las Vegas with Marc ,the kids and Marc's folks.We had a brillant time, Las Vegas is so much fun ,forget the gambling ( I hate gambling ) there is so much more to Vegas than that.The Hotels are AMAZING ,we stayed in the Mirage on the strip .Gorgeous but the Venetian might be my next choice Wow !!! Definitely want to return with Marc some day .The shops at the Forum Caesars palace are housed in an indoor mall that has a roof that looks like the sky ,so beautiful and The H&M store there was amazing ,I bought So much.The water fountain at the Bellagio took my breath away and Luca was so impressed.We had a volcano outside our Hotel that erupted at night ( Noah was terrified ) We walked so much but the all you can eat buffets satisfied our appetites Yum.Lots of hot looking girls ,short tight dresses everywhere,next time I will bring my sexy outfits Hey I still got it! Oh who am I kidding, but I love to people watch .Highly recommend Las Vegas it is so much FUN




The kids are on their Summer holidays and I am wiped out already .Life is just zooming by ,Marc is as busy as ever and I got a JOB as a teachers assistant ,I start same time as Noah starts Kindergarten Perfect timing ,so Happy ,will be working with the nicest bunch of ladies I know. Life is good and the best has yet to come

Happy Birthday Noah

My little boy Noah turned 5 May 29th ,he wanted a train cake so I did my best ....
He has the sweetest heart I know ,his little face just lit when he seen the cake ,Love you my little Nono
