Tartan will always have a special place in my heart. When I found these marvellous pants at Top Shop my first day here,  I knew it was meant to be. They’re an easy way to make any outfit feel “oh so London”. In this case, they put a brit twist to Sandy’s dangerous Greece look.

Popin’ Around

I love a good bowl of homemade popcorn. Ever since I swore off buttery instant popcorn years ago, I’ve been searching for an easy air popped recipe for a healthy snack. Well that day arrived when I found this Italian herb popcorn recipe. It was a breeze to throw together and had just enough of a bite to interest my taste buds.

2 quarts Popped Popcorn

2 tsp Olive Oil

1 Tbs fresh (1 tsp dried) Oregano

1 1/2 fresh (1/2 tsp dried) Basil

1/2 tsp minced Garlic

1/8 tsp Red Chili flakes

1 Tbs Grated Parmesan Cheese

Place popcorn in a large bowl and drizzle with oil. In a small bowl mix oregano, basil, garlic, salt and chilli flakes. Sprinkle herb mix onto popcorn and toss. Let me know what you think, savor away!
