Outfit | Limited wardrobe

Photobucket



Photobucket


I'm wearing:
blouse - Stradivarius
jeggins - H&M
flats - no brand
watch - Stradivarius
studded rings - Aldo
bow ring - Forever21

First of all, sorry for lack of smile on my face but it was very bright and hard for me even to have my eyes open. lol
Secondly, this is a very simple outfit that I put together. I only styled it up a little bit with some cute rings. Keep in mind I'm currently in Morroco so my wardrobe is limited, so don't expect any special or super cute outfit. Right now I just wanna keep it comfortable.

Spot | Moroccan Souk




Today we went to a souk (Moroccan bazaar) to get fresh veggies, fruits and olives! Yum! I love Moroccan olives, with seeds inside. I really enjoy shopping there for nice and fresh stuff. We prepared a delicious iftar from what we have bought.

Travel | London


Hi dolls! Here you have a piece of my photography, pictures I took while I was in London.
It's a beautiful city. I really enjoyed my stay there, although my first feeling about the city was that London is kind of depressing. But when you get used to it and spend there a few days it's awesome :)
And of course I loved shopping on Oxford Street! Sweet!!! ^-^

Out to London Town

Hi everyone!
I'm going to London today! I'm not taking my laptop with me, so probably won't have the access to the Internet. If I find a computer in the hotel I'll blog from there, if not I'll share with you some pictures when I come back.
Hope I'll have a good time as I'm going alone. Take care everyone!

Recipe | Karan (Moroccan/Algerian fast food)

Karan (in Morocco), or Karantita (in Algeria) is a street food that I personally know from North-Eastern part of Morocco (Oujda), but it's available also in Northern parts (Tanger area). Nowhere else in Morocco. You can also find it in the streets of Algeria, but I'm not sure if in the whole Algeria, or only Western areas.
People make it also at home, so did I.

What you'll need?
- 0,5 kg of chickpea powder (ground dried chickpeas)
- 1,5 liters of water
- 1 glass of oil
- 1 egg
- salt (as much as you like)

1. Chickpea powder

2. Adding water

3. Adding oil

4. Adding an egg and salt

5. Mixing

6. Poured everything to a baking tin and put everything to the oven set to 200 Centigrades for around 30 mins

7. Done and ready to eat! It's fast to make and believe me, veryyyyy tasty!

In Morocco, they serve it in bread. I had it in a roll. :)
You can add also powdered cumin on top. It's very delicious!!!
