Marble details.

Take a look at my gorgeous new marble phone case. It’s so simple and minimal it works so well. I love marble accents -they work so well to break up a natural decor in the house and now my phone adds that perfect accent to my outfits too.

 It’s monochrome simplicity will go with anything so for me it makes the perfect case for my phone.

This case is by Gmyle and was a reasonable price at £5.99. I like how it looks against my iPhone 6 gold, it doesn’t cover the entire border of the phone so the gold shows through along the top, bottom and buttons on the sides. Really pretty and cute.  I love this so much I think I might need to add a few more marble pieces to my collection.

Brownies.

So Bake Off started again last week, god I love this show. Zac isn’t a cake kind of guy but he loves the show too, so we decided to do some baking of our own this weekend. We thought brownies would be the perfect solution to satisfy the baking bug. I found this brownie recipe on Pintrest, it is really simple and easy to make. Find the recipe bellow.

These brownies are quite rich so I thought a simple berry sauce would help cut through the chocolatiness -I think it works really well, maybe even a little Black Forest Gattoesque 😛 Greek yogurt or cream also goes extremely well with these brownies if you want to enjoy them more as a dessert.

In Your Clutches.

To take you through into night, everyone needs a clutch for those few key essentials. You can’t go wrong with black. These are my favorites.

clutches

religion clutchOn the left we have a stunning angular clutch by Religion- this is from their Angular Range it is RRP £40 but it is currently £28 on ASOS. This bag is large and its striking shape makes it modern but the black keeps it minimal. I adore this bag, it looks stunning here paired with a wet look pencil skirt but equally it would amazing with a pair of suit trousers and stilettos.

The middle bag is a Matt & Nat Grab Clutch Bag with Zip Compartments, this eco friendly company has mastered ethically bag making. No animals are hurt or

I love the grab design, it looks so clean cut. This bag is priced at £65 a little pricey but you are paying for piece of mind and modern design.
