Attention please! This is the ultimate post with this haircut because, as promised, I had my hair cut last week.

This angled-bob, I only say goodbye to it for a few months because I am already thinking about adopting it again this winter (if the new growth is not capricious!). Anyway, I really enjoyed having my hair a bit longer (at least, when wearing beanies or hats) but summer temperatures quickly convinced me that it was finally time to change.

While waiting to rediscover my short hair, here is the outfit I was wearing for the workshops, exhibition and chatterings at the Louis Vuitton family’s garden party in Asnières. You might have already seen a few glimpses on my Instagram account.

This day, when the weather decided to be mild, with a more than appreciable light wind, to enjoy the short break in the middle of this heatwave.

We are not rebels

Mon 13 Jul, 2015 · Fashion

Festival season is in it’s hight everywhere but the one I am particularly watching out for is Rock en Seine at the end of August.

Kasabian, The Offsprings, Interpol, Marina & the Diamonds will all be there (with many others) and having missed the latter’s show last May, let’s say I am very keen to check them out there !

My “Rock concert” outfit

Bonobo Jeans is sponsoring the festival and asked me to come up with a special outfit for the concert with the tank top from their Festival capsule collection.

I took myself to their Étienne Marcel boutique and accepted the challenge.

I imagined a comfortable outfit:

In the program, zipped pocket joggers (to avoid bringing a a bag and have free hands), soft slip-ons to jump around and not get our toes crushed (forget sandals) and a biker jacket in case it gets a bit cold in the night (and to have more pocket space).

Rebel or not ?

The message “We are not rebels” on my tank made me smile because in a time where the “Bad Ass” attitude is very in, it’s almost courageous to admit not being a rebel.

As for me, I admit everything, I am not anyway a rebel.

I am the kind to follow rules but I am not docile on every point (otherwise it would be quite boring, don’t you think ?) : I would put me in the category “disciplined student with a slight naughty side”.

About the last picture, I tried to get the rebel out of me : very credible ! (English translation by TradIsa)

Easy Peasy recipe #4

Fri 10 Jul, 2015 · Food, Illustration

Fruits & Yogurt popsicles

You’re not learning anything new if I tell you that the last couple days gave us some almost unbearable temperatures to deal with: we had to use all kinds of trickery and ploys to find a way to stay cool: movies, sprayers, wet tshirts, head in the fridge …

On my part, I chose to experiment with homemade popsicles, and to make to to this blog section, they’re super easy to make.

FYI, the first mango recipe was inspired by the Marie Laforêt’s “Vegan” book: I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but the book has lots of yummy recipes with which it’s easy to reduce daily meat consumption, which isn’t a bad thing for both the environment and our health.

Popsicle molds Doiy (Jungle and Farm (40% off))

The amounts on the drawing make for about 6 popsicles in each flavor. It all depends on the molds you use : I found super cute animal shaped ones, but regular ones that you’d find at Hema or Ikea would be fine too.

For those of you who enjoy alternative solutions (or who don’t feel like investing in the molds), you can recycle old paper yogurt cups and your icecream sticks (still have washed those right?)… anyway, it’s up to you!

Some friendly tips

Of course, you need to peel and cut up the fruit in little bits and pieces before mixing everything in your blender. Don’t have a blender? Well this time I’m not sure I have an alternative solution, but you can always mix everything up in itsy bitsy little pieces!

For the berry recipe, if you’re afraid of getting little seeds stuck in your teeth, you can choose to strain the berries and keep only the flesh and juice of the fruit to mix in the blender.

As for the sugar or agave, I didn’t give any specific quanitites, because it really depends on how you like it. Check before you pour into the molds.

Then you can put your molds in the freezer (don’t have one? This time I give up) for a couple hours or overnight, and you’re ready for a new heatwave, should one come our way! (English translation by Bleu Marine)
