4 days* Lookbook | OUTFITS OF THE WEEK 11

Hello guys !

It's week 11 of my series of look-book that I post here every week, this week I have only 4 outfits for you but I'm going to do a special OOTD next time to compensate for that a little bit. Let's get right into it.

Monday

On monday I went with the shades of yellow, I decided to wear my olive green/yellow top from Zara that I combined with a mustard yellow sweater, white jeans and gold jewelry.

Tuesday

The weather was really nice this week so I finally get to wear my dresses YAY ! On Tuesday I went with a dress that actually belonged to my mum, it's crazy even to think about it. I layered with a white chiffon blouse and a denim vest. I accessorized it all with a layered necklace from H&M and my black watches. I also decided to wear sandals for the first time this year !

Wednesday

We went to see a play with our school about WWII, it was really touching and inspired by true events. I really feel like we have to be reminded each day of the mistakes that the humanity has done so that we don't repeat them ! Anyways back to my outfit I decided to wear my floral shirt from S.Oliver that I paired with a pair of dark red short from H&M and because it was a little bit chilly I wore my Zara long checked shirt on top. For my accesories I wore a simple blue belt and my golden watches.

Thursday

On Wednesday we celebrated the international kids day here in Slovakia ! I'm turning 18 in a bit so it's actually the last time I'm officially a kid but let's face it we stay kids forever ! My mum decided to surprise me with a pair of flats from the brand StreetFly, they make one of the most extravagant yet still wearable shoes I've ever seen. My mum got me these beige flats with some butterflies and branches, I love them. I decided to match the rest of my outfit to the flats so I went with thick oversized sweater in this cinnamon/red color from Esprit and a pair of dark grey jeans from Forever 21.

So that's it thanks a lot for reading, Bye :)

Canned tuna with quinoa* RECIPE | Lunch box Idea

Hi guys !
we all know those days that you just don't have anything for lunch and no leftovers are to be found. We've all been there and so I 'm going to share with you a simple lunch idea that you can pack with you anywhere you go.

Ingredients"
80 g of canned tuna
80 g of uncooked quinoa
3 carrots
3 tbsp of corn
1 tbsp of chili olive oil (you can use normal olive oil if you want)
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder (optional)

So this is a very basic recipe that doesn't require a lot of skills you'll start by cooking the quinoa. Bring water to a boil add a little bit of salt and add the quinoa. Let it cook for 10 minutes and turn the heat off.

While you're waiting for the quinoa to cook, roast the carrots on medium heat for 10 minutes, checking them now and then to make sure they don't get burnt as mine did :D

Learn from my mistakes ! After they're done transfer them into your lunchbox alongside with quinoa and mix it together.

Now you can add the canned tuna with the corn and mix it again. When you're satisfied just add the spices to your personal taste.

That's it, simple, delicious ready in 20 minutes :)

Thanks for reading Bye :)

5 days* Lookbook | OUTFITS OF THE WEEK 10

New week, new set of outfits. This week I have another set of 5 outfits for you full of outfit ideas and inspirations for you to try out.

Monday

After a long time I finally got to wear one of my favorite dresses from the brand Medicine, it's actually a collaboration with a polish artist I think. It has this beautiful pattern that just makes me think of nature and spring. On top of that I layered a simple black turtle neck and a statement necklace from Ebay. I matched it with burgundy accesories like my wine red hand bag and my matching wine red shoes that are a cross between oxford's and flats. I really love this combination of this dark forest green almost a emerald color with this dark wampy wine color.

Tuesday

On Tuesday I went with a all black outfit with neon accents. I decide to wear my dark grey turtle neck sweater with some black jeans from forever 21. I paired my jeans with a neon yellow belt that matches my bracelet. On top of my sweater i went with a simple asymmetrical black cardigan. To finish the outfit off I've chosen some beige flats that match my beige bag. I also decided to DIY the bag a little bit by wrapping a neon floral scarf around the bag handle. I think that it gives it just a little bit of a different feel.

Wednesday

Went pretty simple on Wednesday and decided to wear my cute army green turtle neck top along with statement necklace from Primark. Then I combined it all with a pair of simple black jeans and a burgundy cardigan. To complete the outfit I decided to wear a matching burgundy bag with matching burgundy flats.

Thursday

On Thursday I needed to feel really comfortable cause I had been practicing my driving for 2 weeks now so I'm trying to always wear something comfortable especially on my feet. So I went for a dark blue sweater with a army shirt underneath it and I completed it all with a simple pair of white jeans and my brown leather jacket along with a matching pair of shoes,

Friday

For my Friday outfit i'm actually going to use an outfit that i wore the week after this one because i was at home the whole week and it wouldn't make sense to create a look-book with one outfit so i decided to combine these two weeks into one and that way you're getting the usual 5 outfits as always. I went kinda girly on Friday, i wore my floral sweater from Benetton that i combined with burgundy accesories and to create a little bit of contrast i decided to complete my outfit with my black leather jacket.

So that's it for this week thanks for reading until next time bye ;)

Galettes Bretonnes * RECIPE | Goat cheese and eggs

Hello everybody,
if you've been here for a while you probably know that I've spent 4 months of my life in Saumur France this year, it was a great experience that allowed to experience french culture on a completely different level. I'm very thankful that I got to spent my 4 months in a great host family that was very welcoming and nice to me. Thanks to them I have learnt a couple of french recipes that I'd like to share with you ! Today it's going to be a recipe for classic galettes Bretonnes. These are basically salty crêpes that come from the northern region of France called Bretagne. They are very easy to make and can be adjusted to everyone's liking, so let's get to the ingredients :)

For the galettes:
330 g of buckwheat flour
5 g of salt
750 ml of water
1 egg
butter

The toppings(the most traditional):
goat cheese
ham
eggs
pepper
mushrooms
grated cheese

For the toppings, be creative and try different combinations of things that you love and enjoy !

First start by mixing the flour, salt and an egg together.
Slowly start pouring the water in and mix really well, you want to get a nice smooth consistency without lumps. If you encounter any lumps, press them in between your fingers and you should be just okay. The consistency should be close to pancake batter.

When you're done you can either leave the mixture in the fridge until you decide to make your galettes or you can start straight away, I don't think that leaving it in the fridge changes the consistency dramatically, just make sure to mix well the mixture before using it because the flour and water may separate a little bit.

Now prepare a pan for your galettes, choose whatever size you want it really doesn't matter. Now depending on the chosen size pour in some of the mixture so that you create a thin galette. You don't want to use a lot of the batter because you galette would turn out too thick and it would be too hard to flip.

Now cook for a couple minutes until one of the sides doesn't look liquidy. When you think you're done you can flip the galette and start to do the magic !

First choice you have to make is what is your preferred egg style, you can either scramble the egg on your galette or you can leave it just like a traditional fried egg on top of your galette. So after you've put the egg in it's time to add all the toppings that you can possibly imagine my favorite combination is some goat cheese, grated cheese and some pepper to taste. But if you want to stay traditional don't forget to add some ham on top of your galettes as well.

Leave your egg to cook for a couple minutes, and when everything is nicely blended and cooked through you can enjoy your traditional french meal.

In France galettes are normally served with some cider, another nice thing to go with the galettes is a salad, it gives the meal a little bit of freshness.

Thanks for reading I hope you liked my french recipe, until next time :)

Apple Pie * RECIPE |

Hello friends !
what a wonderful month has come, the month of June, not only my birthday is in June but it's the last day of school, basically it's my favorite month. In celebration of June starting I have a super delicious recipe for you, for my traditional apple pie. I know, i know pies are better suited for autumn probably but I like to eat christmas food in summer so whatever. Anyways, this recipe is quite easy to make and will definitely bring you that grandma pie feelings !

For this recipe you'll need:
Crust
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
1 cup of milk
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of salt

Filling
250 g of Ricotta cheese
1 egg
7 apples
1 tbsp of cinnamon
5-6 tbsp of coconut sugar

You're going to start with the crust, mix all of the dry ingredients together, then add the melted coconut with the milk and mix until a thick dough that isn't sticky forms. Split the dough into two parts and set aside.

Now we can move to the filling. This filling consists of two parts, one that's creamy and an apple one. First we're going to make the creamy one, so start by whisking together the cheese, 1 egg and 2-3 tbsp of coconut sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

For the apple filling you're going to start by peeling the apples and cutting them into small pieces. The in a big bowl mix all of the apples with the rest of the coconut sugar (3 tbsp) and the cinnamon.

When both of your fillings are ready, you can start assembling your cake. Roll out the first half of the dough to fit inside your 9 inch round pan. Cut away the excess and place the dough into your form. Press the dough inside and fill it with the creamy filling that we've made earlier.

On top of the creamy layer, place all of the apples.

Now roll the rest of the dough and cut it into thin stripes that you're going to start placing on top of your pie. You can create any pattern you want, I went with a simple checked pattern. I had some left over dough so I just added a little trim around the edges, just to make it a little fancier.

And that's it, now just bake on 350° for 45 minutes (keep checking the cake every couple minutes just to make sure).

Your pie is ready to be served, serve hot or cold depending on your taste but I can assure you that it tastes the best while still fresh from the oven ! You can add a little bit of cinnamon on top if you are a cinnamon lover as I am !

Thanks for reading today's recipe, until next time :)
