She's Fresh!

Embrace yourself, as the new fabulous Etoile boutique has open in Kuwait. Situated in the grand avenues, it exudes a fresh sense of brands, featuring Amanda Navai, Herve Leger, Colette Dinigham and best of all Cire Trvdon candles. There were a wide range of summer dresses to evening gowns, clutches and beautiful sandals. A definite recommended visit! 

Song of the day

Fennel and Mushroom Salad

As summer is kicking us in the rear end, I made this crisp, fresh tangy salad yesterday. Taken from the show "French food at home", the salad gives off a lovely licorice smell infused with the shallots, so French, so chic!

Ingredients:

1 shallot chopped finely
6 mushrooms sliced thinly
1 small fennel chopped thinly
Small bunch of parsley
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one orange
Lemon juice
4 tablespoons vinegar
Parmesan shavings
Salt
Pepper


In a small bowl add the vinegar to the shallots and let it rest for 10 minutes. Assemble all the ingredients into a bowl, drain the vinegar adding the shallots, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan shavings and mix well.   Easy and really fresh.
