Life lately through the instagr.am lens...

Hi lovelies, I hope you all had a brilliant weekend! I thought I'd share a bit of life lately according to {instagr.am} to give you a peek of what I've been up to...


{one} I spent most of yesterday working, but I'm loving my workspace and fresh roses sitting on my desk always make me smile.


{two} My go-to salad right now is a mix of baby spinach, blanched asparagus, cherry tomatoes + grilled haloumi + topped with balsamic dressing - so yummy!


{three} I bought a Tocca candle for the first time a couple of weeks ago and oh my goodness, it smells amazing. My favourite candles are the ones where the scent lingers in the air long after it has been put out and the Tocca Brigitte does exactly that!


{four} My sister, who is very much into raw + organic food lately, baked these yummy carrot cupcakes for us on Saturday night - these are not only raw + organic, but also sugar free + yes, they tasted delicious!


{five} I'm loving my new striped JCrew blazer + have been wearing it a lot recently, its' so comfy + I always love wearing stripes.


{six} A few glossies on my reading pile at the moment: Madison, O Magazine + Real Living.




I hope you're week is off to a wonderful start!

  23. first of all, that salad looks delish - nothing better than fresh haloumi... second, we totally think alike. I recently bought the same J.Crew blazer and have been wearing it non-stop. It's like wearing the chicest sweatshirt!

  25. Spinach salads are my favourites and my go-to one is: baby spinach, raisins, pine nuts, garlic, croutons and olive oil. It is so delicious! Your J Crew blazer is lovely, Rachel! I'm all into stripes as well. :)
