Look like leather pants

Here in France the weather is pretty bad at the moment (either really cold with a little bit of sun or rain rain rain)... This one of my favourite Autumn/Winter outfit, it's casual but it looks like you made an effort. Leather pants are quite a big thing at the moment, they go with basically everything and now you can find them in a various range of price ! You will see in this outfit there are expensive pieces but I can't help it I really like Maje and Sandro (my bank account not so much..). But if you don't want to put a ton of money in a sweater it's fine, Asos, Topshop and Zara do a pretty good job too. However if you still want to buy Maje, Sandro or other expensive brands, but you don't want to pay full price, the solution I found is buying second hand on Vestiaire Collective.

Pants: Zara (not available anymore but dupes here and here
Scarf : Zara
Sweater: Maje (old collection but you can find a similar one here)
Coat: Sandro (old collection but you can find a similar one here)
Sneakers: Vans or my Isabel Marant (also bought on Vestiaire Collective)

Cooking, Carrot Cake

Today is a yummy day again !

I never thought I was going to like this kind of cake... I thought carrots ? In a cake ? But only fools do not change their minds ! When I was in Bali I tried it and fell in love with the taste. Today I just wanted to share the recipe I (kind of) created as I made a mix of multiple recipes online. 

To make this cake you will need:
- 4 eggs
- 100 g of oil
- 100g of sugar
- 75g of brown sugar
- 100g of flour
- 3 or 4 big carrots (you will have to grate them)
- 30g of crushed walnuts
- a packet of backing powder
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- a pinch of salt

Start by turning on your oven to 180 degrees celsius. Then, while the oven is heating take a big bowl, mix everything except the carrots and walnuts that you will have to prepare before mixing them. You will have to grate the carrots and crushed the 30g of walnuts. Then mix everything and try a bit of your mixture to see if you like the taste of it or if you want to had a bit of cinnamon or more walnuts for example. Finally put the mixture in a cake pan and in your oven for 60minutes (check the baking by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of the cake) :)
