honey rosemary lamb, easy lamb recipe, couscous salad, lamb dinner, what i made, not your standard, kayla seah, food blog I love cooking and baking just about anything, but I have to admit I shy away from cooking with meat a lot of the time. I find it slightly intimidating and I’m usually very critical of my final result. However, I figured I better suck it up and get practicing, so that’s exactly what I did. I whipped up this Honey Rosemary Lamb in less than 30 minutes and was completely amazed at the finished product. I paired it with a feta couscous salad with an orange vinaigrette dressing – I impressed myself with this one. Find my recipe over on The Luxe Life.

Dress: & Other Stories / Jacket: Blush (forever ago, similar one here) / Flats: Chinese Laundry / Necklace: Blush (similar here) / Arrow Bracelet: H&M 

 

This is that easy and comfortable dress to throw on without having to put in too much effort, pair it with a leather jacket, a denim or a blazer - a complete no brainer. Equally as cute with a flat or a heel and I love the zipper detail that goes all the way around the back. We shot this on my favourite street in our neighbourhood, it’s filled with cherry blossom trees that are now starting to fall all over the beautiful cobblestone…a perfect backdrop for a bright yellow dress.

Let’s Go For A Bike Ride

The bike culture in Berlin is truly amazing. The first time we stayed in Berlin, we rented bikes from a local shop and were able to see the city in a completely different way because of that. It’s the best way to travel from point A to point B, and you will always see things off the beaten track – my kind of transportation. With that said, you can imagine how eager I’m to get one this time around. I have my eye on a pale blue one with a gorgeous camel basket at the bike shop right around the corner from me – so as I daydream about that one, I decided to dedicate this post to cycle style! Always ride in style.
