The Baker

 It's been so long since I've posted a baking post, so I'll make up for that lost time with some totally delicious bread:) 
  
Whole wheat since I'm on a healthy food kick. I found this at 101 cookbooks, It's super quick.

   Nope, there's no 4 hour risings in this recipe, only 30 minutes (yaayy, am I dreaming!!). With butter...a whole wheat heaven (yes there's such thing)!

Here's some music to help ease the pain of a cloudy summer, well if you live in Seattle it's cloudy...(typical)  :( .

Savage Beauty

   I am in love with Alexander McQueen's design, I would readily fly to NYC to see his exhibition at the the Met! He combined opposites, light and dark, death and life into fashion. Looking at his clothing can really make you think, it's amazing that a skirt can totally change your state of mind. 
  
Sarah Burton has put new light on the brand, making it more feminine, (plus designing Kate Middleton's wedding dress!!). I'm thinking they should make a world tour of the exhibition, with a stop in Seattle of course ;).

Panforte

Hello, sorry for not posting in ages, lately I've been churning out batches of super creamy (and sometimes not so creamy) ice cream. My favorite so far has been Panforte, which in non-ice cream form is a super dense, sugary Italian cake, David Lebovitz transformed it into a dream, dotted with ground almonds and candied citrus.

Here's a pic from my vacation, sun and an (outdated) Vogue, that's all you need:)

Don't you love the Zebra stripe cushion along with the headphones, I'm really wanting some headphones now... another headphone wearing chic girl here.

Have a great week!!

Caribbean Summer

         How's Summer in the Caribbean sound? Wonderful? Cool breezes, tropical fruits,  I can't decide were I would love to go to more, Cabo San Lucas ( yeah I know, that's in Mexico, not the Caribbean but it sounds like paradise!), or Cuba... What about you, any cool vacations this summer?

p.s The girl in the last picture reminds me of Reese Witherspoon.
