Trends for less

I find that the popular trends that we see on the catwalks are almost always sold out as soon as they hit the stores or way over priced. Here are my high-street alternatives to some of my favorite A/W 2012-2013 trends:

Which trends are you into this season?

Kenzo Kraze!

The Kenzo sweater has rocked a lot of street style pictures during the past fashion weeks. I would have to go for the grey one with the pink writing (picture 3), which color would you go for?

The red juice detox

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you my green detox juice recipe for a healthy start to your day. This week I thought I would share my red juice recipe; I try to use organic fruits and veggies for these juices to really make them as healthy as possible:

Beetroot, red apple, carrot

As per the previous recipe, wash the fruits and veggies, mix in the juicer, pour in a glass, add a thin slice of apple on the glass for the decoration and enjoy!

Tip: The juicer does the job for you and extracts only the juice from the ingredients however I do peel the beetroot before juicing it as I find the taste too 'earthy' otherwise.

The new way to wear your coat

The in-between seasons can be a little tricky when it comes to "what should I wear today". You might see the sun shine when you wake up and suddenly the afternoon tornado and winter temperatures blow in... it's too hot to wear your coat but too cool to not wear it, the solution is to wear it over your shoulders! 

 Whether it is your blazer, your leather jacket or your cashmere coat this really is the fashionable way to wear it:

How do you wear your coat in between seasons?

A healthy way to start your day

I have been reading so many articles on how green fruits and veggies are good for you and how juicing them together makes the ultimate healthy/ detox beverage.

Here is one of my favorite green juices which I try to make as much as possible:

celery, spinach, green apple, fresh ginger & lime

It's so easy to make: wash the fruits and veggies, mix in the juicer and it's done! Just remember to peel the lime and the ginger so that you don't get a bitter taste.

Flu season is on its way and this is the perfect mix to start gearing up on vitamins, energy and well-being!

What is your ideal healthy juice?
