Blog Re-launch and New Name – Still The Style

Hi everyone!

After a long struggle and nightmare when renewing my WordPress domain subscription, I’ve now had no choice but to change the name of my blog. It was previously http://www.stillalamode.com but it is now http://www.stillthestyle.com which I think is actually a bit better!

I remember this time last year when I was just starting to get more serious with my blog and I upgraded to the more premium WordPress package and it’s the best decision I could have made! It’s made me discover myself more and I’ve had so much support from you all.

I’m hoping to create even more good things over the next year and this has already started as I now have a brand new logo and contact email address which is nina@stillthestyle.com so do feel free to contact me via there.

Let me know of anything which you would like me to do over the next few months!

Love,

Festivity and Shopping

Hi all! 

Sorry I’ve been slacking with my posts. My dissertation is finally written!! 

On Wednesday, Devon and I payed a visit to Somerset House’s ice skating rink and apart from him dragging me around because I was too scared to move and falling on my bum, it was fun! 

I’d definitely recommend it to anyone. The scenery of Somerset House was just beautiful. 

   
    
 
We then went a bit over board with our Christmas shopping and ended up with 18 shopping bags! 

I had to pop into Fortnum and Mason and stocked up on my favourite Chai tea and cranberry biscuits before a sneaky shop in Tiffany’s at dinner time.. Dinner at Tiffany’s maybe?

Girls in the City: Italy vs France (PARIS TRIP better late than never!)

Hi everyone! 

So sorry this post has been delayed ridiculously, I’ve just gone back to uni and have to write my dissertation by Christmas so I’ve been freaking out a little! But I’ve been meaning to do a little post on my trip to Paris in September and my friend Becka’s trip to Sicily, Italy. 

Becka runs a fabulous website, blog and online shop focusing on vegan, vegetarian and whole foods and feeling good on the inside and being absolutly delicious at the same time! (Www.glowingkitchen.com)

 

This was the lovely little courtyard that our apartment was in in Paris.   
 
First day there and we obviously had to pay a trip to Galeries Lafayette. 

   
The lovely makeup range in Sephora exclusive. Laduree range. 

These amazing pain au chocolat and croissants from a cute bakery near our apartment in Les Invalides. I made Devon go out to get them every morning.   
Cute little coffee sent from the beautiful Becka in Sicily.   
  

Traditional delicious Italian food. Italian is my favourite along with Greek food so I was quite jealous! 

  
 

We visited the Louvre on the second day. 
   
    
Meanwhile Becka relaxed on the beautiful Sicilian coast. 

    
  

I couldn’t want to visit Laduree in Paris. I’m currently addicted to this chocolate and pistachio macarons.   
    

I felt guilty so bought myself a healthy smoothie. 

    
    
    
    
    
We visited the Notre Dame and Palace of Versailles. These are my two favourite places to go in Paris. 

    
    
 

On our last night and ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (!!!!) we went for a meal of muscles and visited the Eiffel Tower. Along with getting split up on the metro!

InFOODiast

I’ve recently become so interested in cooking, baking and nutrition. Partly since meeting my boyfriend last summer, and since becoming an independent consultant for Arbonne. 

I love experimenting and trying different recepies. This is my favourite newly found dinner that I’ve been trying. 

  
Salmon stuffed with cream cheese, tarragon and onion, with meddeterranian vegetables (pepper and sundried tomatoes) sprinkled with tarragon flakes and drizzled with sundried tomato oil. Served with sweet potato mash. 

I made this for my mum last night and she said it was one of the best things she’s ever tasted!!

Avocado Toast: Obsessed?



I’ve noticed the rise of avocado toast enthusiasts all over the world recently? But why?

I used to hate avocado but now I can’t get enough!! Not only is it good for you but there’s so many ways you can eat it and with so many things. I love experimenting with different types of bread, dressings and accompanying foods with my avocado! 

Today I just had a simple avocado on buttered Tiger bread and a sprinkle of salt and it was the best one I’ve ever had!!

Rhubarb at Saatchi Gallery

On Friday morning, a friend and I made a trip to Chelsea to do some research on a new project we are working on which you will hear more about soon. 

During the process however, we obviously got distracted by the beautiful weather and stopped at Rhubarb at the Saatchi Gallery on The Kings Road. 





Oh well, the time was well spent and I cannot wait to go back.

London Bridge – Borough Market



Last summer my friend and I discovered Borough Market just outside London Bridge station and we were so pleased we found it. I’m quite surprised we didn’t discover it before because we are always on the look out for different new places to get amazing food and drink. 

Borough market has stalls with all different unique cuisines and juices and it was amazing! We went back a few times and I can’t wait for the weather to get nicer so we can go back!
