Summer Trends: clothing

I have taken succcccccch a long time to manage this post that I just have to get this out of my system! Its like I am stuck! what is it called bloggers block! Anyways one of the reason I took such a long time to put this together was coz I juuuuust didnt know how to narrow it down! the more I got closer to getting it done the more I got the ideas and the further I got away from the goal which was to get it posted! It was a fun and exhausting ride!

Here is my take of the season ( bit late but finally here)

1. From the most prestigious lawn magazine _ gulahmed this what I have picked for the season.

2. I am obsessed and i mean literally obsessed with these colors_ coral and green !! Love them on clothes, bags, shoes accessories! Love to play with them in almost evverything.

3. This monotone orange dress is every wardrobe staple. Don't mind it in hot pink or in crimson as well!!

4. Pattern play in this beautiful floral dress_ love the colors love the patterns and the mixing! This one is definitely making way in my wardrobe this summer.

5. primary colors basic. simple. fun. mix and match and play!

6. Navy blue polka dress with nude accesories and gold bracelets_ a complete no fuss no fail summer outfit!

7. Love the colors and the accessories with these patterns! Purple and orange! love that! (unkown image)

Red bean breakfast bruschetta

My favorite breakfast has been this beautiful red bean and mushroom bruschetta on toasted whole wheat bread. The aroma of thyme drizzling olive oil and the lovely reds of the tomatoes what more can you ask for!

whole wheat toasts 2

red beans 4Tbsp

mushrooms 2 Tbsp

chopped tomatoes 1 medium

chopped onions 1/2 medium

thyme 1 tsp

salt and pepper

vinegar 2 tsp

Olive Oil

1. Heat a pan and pour generous amount of olive oil. when the oil has heated up a little add mushrooms and roast them. For about 3 mins.

2. Add chopped onions and saute.

3. When the onions are translucent add tomatoes, thyme and red beans. Add more olive oil if necessary.

4. Saute for a minute till tomatoes are tender.

5. Toast or bake two whole wheat toasts. Set aside. Pour the tomato and red bean misture over the toasts. ladle the extra olive oil and juices in the pan over the toast as well for that extra yumminess.

6. sprinkle salt and pepper and enjoy the lovely bruschetta and the lovely morning!
