Eat Me. Enoteca Rabezzana, Barbican

Barbican is an interesting little pocket of London; positively buzzing Monday - Friday with handsome fellows in suits, pubs for after-work drinks and skyscrapers housing much of the financial industry, yet it turns into a bit of a ghost town on weekends. However, that doesn't mean it should be forgotten.

I got word that an Italian favourite with the locals is Enoteca Rabezzana. Tucked away just behind Smithfield market, they've just launched their new menu so I thought I ought to go and take it for a spin. Not forgetting to take my new bag along for the ride as well. [Told you, obsessed.]


My beautiful Italian friend joined me which seemed highly appropriate as she's obviously an expert, not to mention she ordered for us, sounding so exotic as she spoke to the waitress in Italian. It's a language I really want to learn, particularly considering my grandfather was Italian.

As she told me "enoteca" actually means a place specialising in wine. You can see that it's definitely true here. There are hundreds of bottles lining all the walls.


We went for a Gewürztraminer from her region in Northern Italy. I first tried this kind of wine on a wine tour in New Zealand. It's really an intriguing flavour that doesn't taste like anything else. Almost sweet but yet not. It's mellow with a slight tang. Try it!


We ordered an assortment of dishes to share. All were delightful. From bread, cheeses and meats to tuna carpaccio with figs and a pear salad. Also, I'm now an aficionado at putting honey on my parmesan; it's the Italian way. Try it, it's incredible.



We also had the day's special; home made pasta with truffles. It was beautiful. You really can't beat home made pasta.


So simple. So delicious. Make sure you stop by. 5/5

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
