Weekend Scenes

This weekend was wonderfully peaceful and filled with lots of naughty sweet treats including the best croissant I've ever sunk my teeth into from Albion (seriously go there and eat one of these as soon as possible!)

Yumminess from Albion

And this surprisingly easy to make, but incredibly flavourful Ventian carrot cake (recipe here). I used Amaretto instead of rum and served it with Ameretto spiked mascarpone. 



In between rain showers I spent some time on my little terrace planting up a herb trough filled with mint, chive, tarragon, parsley, coriander and thyme. I am completely non-green fingered so let's hope I don't kill them all!

Please don't die!

During the week I got soaked in the rain and emergency purchased these jeans as I couldn't turn up to my meeting looking like a drowned rat. I love them. The slightly faded wash, the clean rips and the muffin top concealing high waist means I've lived in them all weekend. They also do a pair in white that I've got my eyes on.

Have a happy Monday everyone!
