Weekend Update

As with most weekends, this one started on a high with some belated birthday celebrations revolving around pizza and rum, and became progressively more relaxed (read lazy) towards Sunday, testing out new recipes and getting hooked on Netflix in bed... (Erin Brockovitch if you were wondering).

I went | Friday's festivities began at one of my local favourites Pizza East Portobello followed by too many rum sours at The Rum Kitchen. 

I drank | See above! Although I made up for my sins with plenty of green juice as pictured... That particular one is spinach, avocado and apple with mint, fresh ginger and a good squeeze of lime. 

I ate | Said juices are becoming a bit of a daily staple now I have my trusty NutriBullet. Ignore the cheesy-as-hell name, it's basically a poor man's Vitamix and can whizz up everything and anything - I did the above blackberry sauce for buckwheat pancakes in there. It's super easy to clean and fuss-free, a must for a washing-up phobe like me, and I'm basically looking for excuses to use it at every opportunity - spicy kale pesto is proving one of my favourite things to chuck in there right now. I've had lots of people requesting I post recipes for some of the food I put up on Instagram so I thought I'd dip my toe in the water with the aforementioned pesto tomorrow. Recipe might be a bit too kind but hey, I said dip my toe.... 

I bought | The perfect little vintage-inspired top from H&M (the £9.99 price tag did it) those of you who follow me on Insta will already have seen me rave about, and a 'Cut Grass' scented candle from The White Company. Winter blues be gone.

I wore | My new Frame Denim personalized black skinny jeans. Such a great fit and they have tiny little initials stitched into the pocket. It's the little things innit.

Added new pieces to my blog store this weekend with Sandro, Urban Outfitters and Zara all in there. Follow my Facebook page for first dibs and post updates....

Weekend Update | Blue Hair and Green Juices

I Went | Those of you who saw my Resolutions post will know I'm trying to keep up with yoga properly this year.  I'm planning on practising at home with the help of YogaGlo (recently discovered via Into the Gloss) along with weekend classes at The Life Centre. 

I Wore | In light of the above, good yoga wear is something I really want to invest in. I know its purely psychological, but having decent kit really does make you want to work out. That's what I'm telling myself anyway... Sweaty Betty is always a good go-to for leggings and then I tend to wear t-shirts by LNA or tank tops from HnM and Gap. Really liking the look of Fillipa K's soft sport range too - the cropped yoga leggings, yoga bra top and sporty sheer pullover are three favourites.

I watched | Blue is the Warmest Colour. Never seen anything like it and it really did blow me away. Raw, real and incredibly moving, the main actress who plays Adele is beyond amazing. I felt really reluctant to let go when it ended after becoming so invested in the characters and their relationships over the course of the film (close to 3 hours but you barely notice). Go see it, if only to be able to join in the conversation and controversy surrounding it.

I read | Finally started a new book - keeping on top of those resolutions - in the form of Summer Lies by German writer Bernhard Schlink (he also wrote The Reader). A collection of short stories, all the stories are about love, both falling in and out of it. I've only read a couple but so far its subtly written and engaging - just don't to get all the answers.

I drank | Along with the rest of entire world, I am big into green juices right now. On the high street, Pret's new take on the trend is surprisingly good (nutritionally it looks a-ok too) and easy for those of us out of reach from a proper juice bar. Crussh's Lean Green juice is also a favourite, especially with added ginger and spirulina to ward of winter colds. Really looking forward to trying Roots and Bulbs' cold pressed concoctions in Marylebone and Alkame smoothies once they launch too.

I ate | Sweet tooth reared its ugly head in a big way this weekend; way too much Dairy Milk Daim bar and delicious dulce de leche ice cream at the Curzon in Soho.
