HOW TO | Twist On PB & J Sandwich

    With the Olympics happening right now in London, I thought inside of making a post about the opening ceremony which happened on Friday featuring the evolution of England through out the years etc I would do a little food orientated post. Britain don't really have strange combinations of food, everything is pretty straight forward. The closet we got to a weird desert was a deep fried mars bar, but being done in Scotland, some would not count that as Britain.


    So instead I thought I'd do an adaptation of a well known snack / desert from England's best friend, America. If you're American I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about from the slang version in the title. For those who don't, I'm doing a take on the tradition peanut butter and jelly ( jam ) sandwich. It's very straight forward to make but I will be substituting the jelly part for nutella. Before I get comments on my option, I know nutella was manufactured in Italy however, the company are doing a competition right now to win a trip to London, so I thought this would fit in perfectly.

THIS WEEK | Topshop Jubilee Wishlist #3


    Living in the UK, these past four days have been part of the 'Jubilee Weekend'. We first encountered the start for the Olympic Torch passing its way through different cities and towns through out England, including my hometown of Wigan. 

    After this was the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebration ( 60 years on the throne ) a large concert was set up outside Buckingham Palace featuring artists such as Tom Jones, JLS, Robbie Williams and many more. 

    In comparison to dressing in the UK's flag colours ( red, white and blue ) I opted to keep in the latest trend of pastels. These key pieces are something of a simple nature yet all together have a very nice effect, bouncing off each other with their different aspects. 

    The weather has been very hot in England the past two weeks so the light weight material of the dress is able to keep you looking stylish, also preventing any over heating. Along with the sandals and shades to add a pop of colour, and belt to give definition to the waist, this outfit is a must have!
