I wish I lived at Petit Trianon

Do • Inspiration

One of my favourite places. The perfection that is Petit Trianon.

When I go to my parents house I like to go to the vegetable garden, where we keep chickens and our pigs. In the summer I pick the fruit and salad, check the chickens for fresh eggs and give the piggies a treat. There is nothing better than playing "Petit Trianon" in glorious weather and eating the wild strawberries as you go. If you are in Paris, make the day trip to see Petit Trianon. It is one of the most wonderful things you can see at Versailles.

I’m not really one for mixing prints or for wearing lots of brights, but I think it is important to challenge yourself every now and them, to make sure you are keeping it fresh. The launch of the last collection from D&G on My-Wardrobe felt like the perfect time for a little experimentation. Although I have stuck with my old friend ‘the white shirt’, I have included some contrasting print shoes that pick up the edging of the jacket. You can easily re-create this look Here! and Here! I really like these or these shoes as a great alternative to my very old Jimmy Choo’s.

Bite Size Cinnamon Rolls with a Maple Syrup Glaze

Baking • Sweet

This really is a super easy recipe, that is really quick and yummy. Great for when you have a last minute bake day panic. This recipe was adapted from a wonderful one by Iowa Girl Eats.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Pinch dough back together along seams.
Re-roll lightly.
Brush with melted butter.
Sprinkle desired cinnamon.
Then sprinkle the two types of sugar.
Roll into sausages of desired size and slice to desired width (remembering the dough will enlarge and puff up during cooking).
Butter cupcake tray and fill with sliced wheels.
Bake for 10 mins (watch like a hawk they can over cook very quickly and sugar will start to burn).
Remove from tray and allow to cool.
Mix the maple syrup, milk and icing sugar together and then spoon over the top on a serving plate.
