My favourite is the cream Marock Enjemma Smock girls dress. I love to embrace earth toned colours and bold prints in my everyday wear and this dress mixes the two styles well. I particularly love the intricate geometric-patterns used on this dress, beautiful and unique prints all in one!

I try to avoid bedtimes battles by limiting any active play or television, for an hour before bed to get my niece into “bedtime mode”. Then after reading her bedtime story, I dim the lights and keep noise to a minimal to ensure her sleep pattern isn't disrupted.

Vacation Hair: Braidy Bunch
Sea or city braids are perfect for summer - just braid and go!
1. Begin braiding at the neck, forehead or where desired.
2. Weave the strands of hair under rather than over to create a similar raised braid.
3. Then secure with a rubber band if necessary.

Food: Chicken + Man = Ring?
I share my birthday (16th May) with The Janet Jackson, AKA Miss Jackson (if you’re nasty). Who can forget the iconic Rolling Stone cover, which cemented Janet's place in pop culture in the 90's?
So, some weeks ago I celebrated my thirty.... something birthday by going to Glamour Magazine Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive book launch - 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know - Engagement Chicken and 99 other Fabulous Dishes to Get You Everything You Want in Life. Yes, it's a bit of a mouth full!

Cindi Leive Editor-in-Chief of Glamour Magazine in Stella McCartney |
Cindi Leive was in attendance, dressed in Stella McCartney - she assisted in the food demo of 'Engagement Chicken'. As one of the lucky, mainly female attendees, I got a taste (shame the wasn't more of it to go around!) it was delicious, juicy, full of flavour - very lemony and prefect for a summer meal if accompanied with a light salad. Unlike the copious amounts of cocktails I had on the night. What are birthdays for after all?!

I'm not sure I can get another proposal, let alone a ring from my husband, but i think it's worth trying the recipe. Whether you are single or have a family like myself, I think 'Engagement Chicken', and the other recipes in her book are essential go-to meals everyone should know. See if it works for you!
Here's how to make 'Engagment Chicken'.
Engagement Chicken
Serves 2 to 4Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (approximately 4 pounds)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 3 whole lemons—including 1 sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Fresh herbs for garnish (4 rosemary sprigs, 4 sage sprigs, 8 thyme sprigs, and 1 bunch fl at-leaf parsley)
2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast-side down in a medium roasting pan
fitted with a rack and pour the lemon juice all over the chicken, both inside and out. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper inside and out.
3. Prick 2 whole lemons three times each in three different places with a fork and place them deep inside the cavity. Chicken cavity size may vary, so if one lemon is partly sticking out, that’s fine. (Tip: If the lemons are stiff, roll them on the counter top with your palm before pricking to get the juices flowing.)
4. Put the chicken in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350°F, and roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Using tongs or two wooden spoons, turn the chicken breast- side up. Insert a meat thermometer in the thigh, and return the chicken to the oven and roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 180°F and the juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork. Continue roasting if necessary. Keep in mind that cooking times in different ovens vary; roasting a chicken at 350°F takes approximately 18-20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes.
6. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. And here’s the secret: Pour the juices from the roasting pan on top of the sliced chicken— this is the “marry me juice.” Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices.
