FOOD HEAVEN | TWO INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE

28 April 2014

Happy Monday peeps! I was drawn in when this gorgeous shot of a two ingredient chocolate mousse popped into my Pinterest feed and clicked through to the fabulous Ashlae who writes a recipe blog called OhLadycakes.

Turns out she’s not just a fantastic cook, food stylist and photographer but has a great sense of humour which presumably comes from growing up with five brothers! In Ohio! Now, I don’t know that much about the States but it sounds a lot like The Walton’s to me, all wholesome goodness with big family meals. Alrighty!

She’s also a fellow chocolate addict and I love the simplicity of her chocolate mousse recipe which almost sounds too good to be true AND it’s vegan so give it a whirl and let me know how it turns out.

For more vegan recipes with a good dose of swear words head over to OhLadycakes for a smile and inspiration.

PLACES TO GO | HALLY’S CAFE AND DELI IN SW LONDON

25 April 2014

OMG! Californian beach house vibe in London!? I just came across Hally’s – a fabulous little cafe and deli – and have to share their stunning interior with you. I’m sure the food is equally divine, though I haven’t been, but trust me it’s going to be my next port of call as it’s not very far from us in South West London.

Hally’s serves Californian-inspired food using organic and ethical produce as much as possible. The owners Anna and Philip were inspired by a road trip to the Golden State and opened the cafe and deli last June.

It was Anna’s lifelong dream to open a restaurant and after acquiring the lease of a derelict cocktail bar they totally remodelled the space and designed it with a laid-back Californian beach house vibe in mind. The team at Alexander Waterworth Interiors was the driving force who did a superb job with immaculate attention to detail.

I love the white-washed brick walls and rustic bar lined with bright yellow industrial bar stools that give an instant summer vibe. I could happily blog the day away at that bar and indulge in various pastries, coffees and salads whilst people watching.

The reclaimed floor boards, rustic table tops and pastel dipped chairs make the place feel warm and lived in and I’ve got a soft spot for those nostalgic orange paperback Penguin books that mix so perfectly with the eclectic pieces on display.

Now all we need is that Californian sunshine. Anna, keep a seat at the bar for me.

ZARA BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAMPAIGN

24 April 2014

I’ve declared my passion for Zara before on here before. Their style and price point are a winning combination for me. Add to that fresh, modern and clean styling and photography and I’m sold.

Recently I came across their Brothers And Sisters campaign online which even comes with it’s own hashtag – no points for guessing what it is – #brothersandsisters, duh. I recognised the little girl in one of the shots and bingo, it turns out it is Joy Cho’s daughter from famous LA blog OhJoy, shot by her mum in Zara attire for the Brothers And Sisters campaign.

What a neat idea! And oh so clever marketing. Bloggers can associate themselves with a hip brand and get referrals from the Zara site and Zara gets kudos through their selected bloggers. Everyone’s a winner!

I might sound slightly cynical but actually I love all the shots as they feel authentic and less styled and staged than a normal photoshoot.

My favourite ones are by Swedish blogger Sofia and her four children. Four children!? How the heck does she find time to blog? She’s clearly not human and if you’d like to read more about her super human efforts hop over to Mokkasin, oh, and switch the translator on if you’re not Swedish.

Zara just can’t do wrong this season. Simple, clever, stylish. Zara, feel free to call me!

INTERIORS CRUSH | STYLIST EMMA PERSSON LAGERBERG’S HOME

22 April 2014

Hello, how is everyone?! I’m back from a wonderfully relaxing week at my mum’s and feel like I’ve been off the grid for a month as the only access to the world wide web was via a dodgy old PC.

I thought I’d be all fidgety and getting internet cold turkey, wanting to check emails, pin and share the beautiful countryside I was surrounded by but in the end I really didn’t miss it at all and feel great after having such a long break from the screen. I highly recommend it!

The positive side effect of a break from the world wide noise is that I my brain feels refreshed and I’m newly inspired. So let’s kick off the new week with Swedish stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg’s home.

What a cool Mama! I love the fact she’s all kick-ass power-dressed surrounded by adorable children and leaving hubby to hold the baby. I wonder if that’s a reflection of their set up at home or if it’s just a little tongue-in-cheek. Either way… Go Girl!

In many ways her home is typical Scandinavian with white floors and walls in a period apartment but being such a great stylist she cleverly combines old and new furniture and lighting with quirky art and objects to give an inspiring look. I love the fact that she chose a grey-ish mint as an accent colour for her kitchen cabinets and I wonder if she’s already changed to a different colour by the time you’re reading this.

The kids bed- and playroom are super fun with a great big chalkboard and clever under-bed storage units for those fiddly Lego bits. Suits the kids and pleases mum’s aesthetic. Score!

In case you’re wondering my favourite photographer of the moment, Petra Bindel, took these wonderful photos. She also shot the story for Susanna Vento’s home and Muuto, all previously featured on Stylejuicer. Enjoy!
