My kind of avo toast

by Sofia   -   in Cooking

Everyone is talking about avo toast a.k.a avocado on toast. I have loved avocados since I was a child and I eat them very regularly ( I hide them in smoothies for my kids too who claim they don´t like avocado). This “recipe” is a hint for a healthy breakfast or lunch. I toast some rye bread. (I like mine crunchy, dry and a bit cooled but you can obviously do as you like. ) Then I mash some avocado on top, one avo for two pieces of rye is a good amount. I add chopped strawberries and a hint of Maldon salt. Then comes the secret ingredient, a japanese chili oil called rayu. You can find it in Japanese specialty food sores. It´s a sesame oil infused with red chilli. It´s soft and spicy and has the toasted sesame flavour. I love it! The perfect combo!

Girls island style

by Sofia   -   in Random

Yesterday I shared my island style pieces and today I thought you might want to see what the girls use on the island. Our closets look very similar when it comes to colour. Navy blue & white with plenty of stripes.

The classic raincoat in yellow for both of the girls this year.

Wellies are in use almost every day.

Our favourite t-shirts. Buy at least one size up for the perfect slim but not too tight fit.

Shorts to wear with t-shirts or the marinier jumpers. For some reason the girls hate fancier shorts worn with stockings or knee highs but these casual sporty shorts they love. We have had a pair from Ralph Lauren every year and love the fit.

My island style

by Sofia   -   in Random

Vaikka rakastankin naisellisia hameita, Chanel henkisiä jakkuja ja silkkisiä paitoja niin saareen ( ja usein kaupunkiinkin) pukeudun rennon sporttisesti. Tässä vähän tämän kesän suosikeja…

I love a very feminine style but I also love a casual and sporty look. I´m very much a stripy shirt and ponytail kind of a girl. So when I found this great knit I knew it would be my number one island style piece. We are more than casual on the island… the girls barely get changed from their pj´s before noon but I do love a comfortable and good looking piece of clothing even if it´s not very fancy.

Here are my current favourites for the island.

This chunky Hunky Dory Knit became an instant favourite the second I saw it ( in Nougat). It´s thick cotton and a lovely off white & navy colour combo. This slouchy style looks good with everything from jeans to flowy long skirts so it´s super versatile too.

White Superga´s are a favourite year after year.

I love my matching raincoat with the girls. It´s the Petit Bateau classic and has a soft milleraies cotton jersey lining. I roll the sleeves so the lining shows a little and like it just like that.
