Bag crush – Michael T Nartey

Last week I visited the Bergen pop-up store in Brussels. So stupid of me to not post this earlier, because you could have gone and check it out. By now, they will be long gone… Anyways, the moment I walked in I was a pretty laptop bag. I was eager to know the price but as you can already imagine, it wasn’t affordable – not for me, at least. I snapped some pictures, drank some kind of juice, ate a few snacks and then there was this bag. It looked like it belonged to someone who left it there to go do something… It did belong to someone, but wasn’t being used, let alone being abandoned by its mommy/daddy. It belonged to Michael T Nartey, the designer himself. He showed me the bag from the in – and outside and I just fell completely in love! Such a wonderful man, mister M! Wonderful, talented and soooo nice! If you happen to pass by in his shop in Bergen Oslo, say hi from me ^^

Top 3 blog posts of August: Food special

I’m kind of late with this post, sorry for the discontinuity sometimes… It’s weird, because my life can be so boring at times and the next day I don’t know what to do first! Well, here you go: a new post – and a yummy one too! I thought I’d change the topic from fashion to food for a change… Did you know there were some good food blogs out there!? Just click on the titles to get the recipe ;-)

N°1: Ezra Pound Cake – Meatless Monday: Peppery Monterey Jack Pasta Salad

I stumbled upon this blog and this dish was the first one that caught my eye. Not only because of the vivid colors, but also because it brings up childhood memories! I remember being with my family in Greece and eating this kind of pasta. Now picture this: a four year old trying to eat the pasta with a fork but giving up eventually and eating it with her little fingers as if the pasta were rings! Oh, the good times! You can imagine that I get super excited when my mom makes the pasta again these days ;-) It’s such an easy recipe and you can eat it both warm and cold. I might try this one out some time. On another note: I love this blog’s lay-out!

 N°2: How Sweet It Is – Pizza Swirl Bread

I’ve experienced the feeling of eating something that tastes like pizza, but isn’t. Also have I eaten too much bread on restaurant visits after my father repeatedly told me not to eat too much. You should now know that I am both a pizza, bread and somethingthattasteslikepizza fan! Isn’t it obvious that this recipe is made for me? I sure think so! Yet another thing for me to try out… dad will be proud, mom will have to do the dishes – oops ^^

N°3: Sugarlaws – Avocado Bruschetta

Yes ladies & gents, the third and last recipe of this post is – drumrolls pleaseItalian again! Although I’m Greek, I love the Italian cucina as much as the Greek one. Doesn’t everybody? Anyways… Have you noticed how easy these recipes are to make? They don’t just look delicious, they really are. Not that I’ve tried them out already, but I just kind of know. Want to eat something light but tasteful? Then bruschetta is the right thing for you! It’s fresh, tasty and light!
