random

feeling quite energised after my pilates session at lunch.
its been a random week, i won $50 on my go card (exciting) and i was sitting with some girlfriends last night having a catch up with a vino and a message appeared on my phone that @LBingleOnline favourited one of my tweets - *squeal* you all know how much i love lara.

♥ ♥ enjoy your evening ♥ ♥

tuesday tunes



i've heard this song a few times now and i haven't been able to get it out of my head. it reminds me of my late teens listening to a whole lot of jeff buckley, a carefree time, summer weekends spent at the beach.

enjoy your tuesday people.

lighter










seashells, die young stay pretty, depends what day it is
tonight on my way home i felt lighter, that heavy feeling i have been carrying around on my shoulders has been lifted. my thoughts are clearer, i've let go, i'm not holding onto anymore. it feels great. it's as if my mind is saying lets move on and see what's there.

i promised that pasta recipe from last night so here you are. once again, thank you donna, you are simply amazing. we ate the leftovers tonight and it tasted better, all the flavours had fused together. delicious.

chorizo, lentil and goats curd pasta with mushrooms

400g pasta (donna recommends conchiglie)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 chorizo sausages, sliced
200g swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3/4 cup dry sherry
1 x 400g can lentils, rinsed and drained
sea salt and cracked pepper
125g goats curd (or soft goats cheese)
extra-virgin olive oil

------
cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 6-8 minutes or until al dente. drain and keep warm.

heat the oil in a large fry pan over a high heat. add the chorizo, mushroom and garlic, cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned. add the sherry and lentils and cook for 2 minutes or until reduced slightly. add the pasta, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute.

top with the goats curd and drizzle with oil to serve.

happy

it's been one of those weekends where it's been a laugh a minute, the rain stayed away and allowed me to take a day trip yesterday with my girlfriends susan from RunwayScout.com (check out their new stock on line, amazing) and barb to the Eumundi Markets with a quick trip to Hastings Street on the way home. had dinner cooked for me last night by my friend ange who just arrived back from a holiday to japan, looking at her photos has made me so excited for my girls trip to bali in november.

i'm cooking a chorizo, lentil, mushroom and goats curd pasta for dinner courtesy of donna hay (one of my faves)... i'll post the recipe later this week. it's a perfect winter meal.

enjoy the rest of your sunday afternoon, kick back with a cheeky glass of red, i am!! xo

tea and tv

there's been a fog over brisbane most of the day, the rain has been pouring down and i've been on the couch drinking cups of tea and indulging in bad tv... fighting off the first symptoms of the flu. i hope the rest has worked...

before night falls

 



before night falls
 
 

i'm excited to be catching up with some of my awesome girlfriends tomorrow afternoon for some cheeky vinos, luckily just down the road from me, close to the river!
sometimes i really like to plan my outfits, and i'm thinking easy and classic. black skinny jeans, black heels and a black clutch, all very easy to work around. paired with a simple cream button up blouse and accents of gold jewellery. what a winning combination. 

how gorgeous is this floral blouse? i am on the hunt... i think i need one.

have you ever used polyvore? what a fantastic tool. i could spend hours on here trawling through the amazing fashions. if only i had endless options in my wardrobe - a girl can dream...

have a great weekend all xo
