Ginger, Beetroot, Fennel and Pomegranate Asian Slaw


SaladsSavourySidesStartersVegetarian

This slaw is great as a side or stuffed in buns for a summer BBQ. If you like spice add a tbsp of your favourite chilli sauce to heat it up! You might prefer a sweeter slaw in which case add two tbsp of apple sauce. If your making this for a party add some white cabbage very finely sliced! You can prepare this up to step 4 the night before!

  1. Slice as finely as possible the Fennel and Red Onion, use a mandolin if you don’t trust your knife skills.
  2. Peel the beetroots and julienne them (i.e. slice them super thin and then into little strips, again you can use the mandolin for this or a good food processor) and combine with the fennel and onion.
  3. In a sperate bowl prepare the dressing.  Mix the Sour Cream, Chives, Ginger, Garlic, Balsamic, Sesame Oil and Salt and Pepper together and taste.
  4. Mix half of this throughout the slaw and cover for an hour or so in the fridge to infuse the flavours (you could do this over night for the best results).
  5. When this time is over, finely chop the apple and mix it throughout with the remaining dressing.
  6. Finally top with the pomegranate seeds.

Making a Dress from a Scarf. Part Two


ArticlesFashion Tutorials

Welcome to part two of the scarf dress tutorial.  This is another simple but great looking option for your scarves.

Some people in the last tutorial wanted to know where I got the large blue scarves from that made the previous look, I actually bought them in Hong Kong at the Chinese Arts and Crafts Centre. That may not be local for everyone so here are some other great big scarf options…  High Street here, here and here.  Luxury here, here and here.

  1. Take each scarf and knot the top two corners. Pulling the knot until it is tight and about 4 inches from the tip.
  2. Tie the tips together with the scarves facing out.  Pull the knots tight to make them as small and safe as possible.
  3. Now place this over your head. Bring the back scarf around your waist and secure it to the front one with as many safely pins as you feel you need on each side.
  4. Take the ribbon and tie it around your waist to conceal the safely pins and create a nice shape.
  5.  Adjust the dress in the mirror.

Simply Blue


CollaborationsLondonOutfits
I have always loved the colour blue.  It's so clean.  This is a simple city look. It's perfect for not-sure-what-to-wear days. The flats keep it relaxed but still chic, the dress is simple but striking and the bag and jacket add a classic effortless element.  I love the mix of blues, its subtle but so pretty.
