Roasted Avocado Wedges

What are you snacking on lately? I can't get enough of Katy’s scrumptious spin on my beloved avocados - roasted avocado wedges:) They are perfect just by themselves or you can add them to a simple salad or (my favourite) eat them with yoghurt-garlic dip on the side. If you never had warm avocados before, the taste is similar to artichoke hearts - just creamer, richer and more scrumptious.

The best part: they take only 15 minutes to make. You need 2 avocados, a dash of olive oil, 2 cloves on grated garlic, salt and pepper. Ta dah! Here is the full recipe:)

Would you try it?

P.S: My other favourite, baked avocado fries.
P.P.S: Fancy more?

3 Rules To Long Flowy Dresses

Do you wear long dresses? I love them and they are one of the most popular spring and summer wardrobe choices around the world, yet so many women have a hard time pulling them off. Some worry that they are too petite or short, others say their waist is invisible or their proportions are totally off.

Well, I recently read that no matter how tall, short, skinny or curvy you might be, there is one set type of maxi dresses that fit us all and make our proportions look just right. Here are the three things to keep in mind while shopping for a maxi dress next time around: it should have an empire waist, short sleeves and subtle prints. It’s important to break the length and create a division/movement. Bonus: if you want to look even taller, just put your hair into an updo - it will add optically a few extra inches to your look.  Da dah!

Would do you think? Agree or disagree? Would you give it a go? xo

P.S: And pink maxi skirts.
P.P.S: Plus, blue and white twist on spring:)

The Red Ball Chilling in Paris!

I bet that by now you probably heard about the cool Red Ball Project by Kurt Perschke, haven’t you? He is the awesome guy who places his humongous red ball in random places all around the world from Chicago, Barcelona, Sydney, the UK to even Abu Dhabi. He usually chooses those spots that are taken for granted or forgotten and a bit more unusual to create an element of surprise and to get a reaction. Well, just a few weeks ago the awesome red ball spent a few busy days Paris! Oh yes, it cruised down the Seine, rolled in for a quick cuppa to the Café Beaibourg and even got itself squeezed between the railing of the Hotel de Ville. What a gem!

I have a secret wish that one day I’ll just randomly walk down the street and spot it. Who knows where is will appear next, right? Would you fancy spotting it on your way to work?

P.S: Remember Londoners and their yellow duck?
P.P.S: Lego world:)

Clone Trooper

The other morning, just out of the blue, I told Balazs that if our future child wants to wear a superhero costume to a grocery store or to the playground I would be totally happy with it. Well, my logic is that if they want to be superheroes for a day or two when they are five, so be it! And then last night I spotted this cool little dude and now I want one too (kid, not a costume) - giggle. His mom Jen said that he was saving this awesome Clone Trooper costume for the past three months and then suddenly he decided it’s time to wear it - I love that! Don't you?

Would you be ok with your child wearing a costume just because? Have you done it yourself when you were little? xo

P.S: Remember this cutie?
P.P.S: Maddie:)
