Temperatures are dropping, so a hot cocoa was in order. This week I received an order from Etsy shop Atéa Lane I've ordered packaging supplies from this shop a couple of times now, and Kay Elisabeth always adds some paper goodies to my order. My friend Mandy went on a shopping spree a while ago and got me some nice extra warm socks. Hooray for Mandy, and warm socks. Gift wise it was a very good week, because I also got a new cookbook.
A cooking experiment took place last weekend, not from the new book, but a recipe I pinned a while ago. Contrary to most pinned recipes, this one actually got cooked. I really had intentions to cook healthier in the new year. But when Jamie Oliver tells you to eat pasta with cream, mascarpone and parmesan cheese, you listen. At least I do.
Also, Zara started it's sale after Christmas, and it came to mind that the last addition to my wardrobe was on a day when I was able to sit outside in the sun. For at least 3 months I have been spending most of my spare time together with a blanket and hot water bottle on my couch, so I thought a little something for my closet was allowed.
The socks look amazing on you feet ;). No just kidding. Hopefully they will keep you warm. Your Zara flower tunic is beautiful! Looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteThey're keeping me very warm, thanks again!

ReplyDeleteTemperature in my always summer country is likewise starting to cool down.. finally :) Although I know, the temperature in your country is way lower. When you said that you spend most of your time in blankets and cocoa.. I suddenly felt envious haha I've been dragging myself to work lately.
