Drink & Draw #EdFashion

The other night I went to a very cool event organized by #EdFashion and Satisfashion, the name of the night was Drink & Draw. It was a very fun and relaxing night at the same night. A small group of 30-50 people invited to take a sit in the Biscuit Factory, a very cool venue in Leith, and draw 5 dress of 5 Edinburgh's designers while drinking! I think this was a very original idea, pushing our creativity, being inspired by the real creativity of the designers, my drawings are more an attempt not very well done but it was a lot of fun. An aspect I loved of the night was seeing people sitting in silence listening to some music and drawing the model in front of them taking a moment from the chaos we live in everyday. I hope this is one of the many events that will make of Edinburgh another fashion city in Europe!

On the road to Skye

 Last weekend I went on a on the road adventure with my best friends, we decided to rent a car from Condor in Edinburgh and go for a road trip to the Isle of Skye.

DAY 1

We left from Edinburgh in the morning and we drove all the way up to Inverness where we had lunch on the river, after a 30 minutes break we got back in our super cute minty Fiat 500 and we stopped to Loch Ness to see if Nessie was home, unfortunately we've not been very lucky. Then we reached Skye through the Skye Bridge and we had a shower in a lovely country house, where we spent the night. This was the closest guest house near the bridge. Before going to bed as it still was early we drove to Elgol to see the sea and then we had an amazing dinner at Creelers, if you go there try the scallops, they are unreal!

 

 DAY 2

On our second day we woke up pretty early and after a full scottish breakfast we got in the car to discover the Isle of Skye. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to see Kilt Rock as the fog was a nightmare. The we went to Portree, the main village of the island, from now on the weather was sunny and warm, a dream. After that we went to see the Old Man of Storr, the walk was hard for us, party girls, but it worth it. Then we drove to Neist Point, in my opinion the best part of the Island, the view was breathtaking and you can also walk to the lighthouse which is very romantic.

At 5 o'clock we left the Island and we drove to fort William where we spent the night.

 DAY 3

On our last day we decided to go back home driving through Glencoe, this on the road was amazing and made me love Scotland even more.

Corn Flakes Biscuits

Hello hello!It's sunday and this means I wanted to bake something as it's the day of the week I hate the most!Some sweet treats always make me feel better.

Today I'll share with you the recipe to do this delicious corn flakes biscuits.

Ingredients

150gr butter

200gr flour

120gr sugar

3 eggs

1/4 teaspoon of baking powder

handful of chocolate chips

20gr walnuts

Do it

First of all put together the butter and the sugar, it's gonna be a hard job but it will pay you off, when it looks smooth add the eggs and stir, after that add the flour and the baking powder and stir vigorously.

Add the chocolate, the walnuts and I also put a spoon of maple syrup, about this step you can use whatever you prefer. Then cover the biscuits with the corn flakes, use a lot of them as the biscuit will expand in the oven.

Put in the oven at 180° for 15 minutes, once out leave them outside and then they are ready for our tea!

I hope you like this recipe and let me know if you will bake them ;)
