Love-Love-Love Stretch

I love a new online boutique - LoveStretch is an online shop that sells luxurious and comfortable day-wear, stylish, verstaile and non-restrictove clothing, as well as lovely accessories. You can find essential yoga/pilates clothes and great stress-free options for everyday dressing (jackets, dresses, etc).

Foldable ballet pumps, £14.50, Butterfly Twist

Cotton-jersey maxi dress, £119, Earth Couture

Wrapped sweater, £99, Elisabetta Franchi
What I love is that, Gill Owen sells designs from many less-known designers, but also her styles from other well-known brands is thoughtful, realistic and stylish. Log onto the site, and check out a new lovely easy-to-wear, no-fuss dressing!

Cooking with the Master (Chef)

Last week, I took a break from fashion, and spent the morning cooking with the most influential chef, Michel Roux Jr. Whilst sharing his family stories of smuggling French ingredients over the border to UK (Pre-EU!) for his father's restaurant, to cooking his wife's recipe for tart tatin for me, I had the most fun.

He was promoting a set of pans that he cooks with in his Michelin starred restaurant, Le Gavroche, called Green Pan, and also his wonderful, inspiring and simple cookbook, Cooking With The Master Chef is available to buy from Amazon, now for £13.49 (was £25).


Enjoy!
