Breakfast at Fayme's X Spice Up Your Life

Recently I got the opportunity to guest post for "Spice up your life" a fun food blog by Tiara, a fellow Yu'i Korsou (Curaçao native). 

Tiara likes to experiment with different ingredients and spices. She shares all things food, from different countries and kitchens. From healthy smoothies to hearty comfort food. 

I was planning on sharing my croissants recipe I learnt in Paris, however I like things easy... and this 48 hour recipe is not exactly my everyday thing, instead I shared some other food related tips in my guest post for "Spice Up Your Life" 

 My top 3 places to eat croissants in Amsterdam;

I would like to share an easy and fun pastry fold that you could do with a store bought puff pastry.

Making a simple fold over pastry

1. Cut a "V" (about a finger width from the edge) in one corner of the square puff pastry then mirror that at the other side.
2. Fold over the outer corner from one side to the other and repeat (folding the other side over the folded side) to the other inside corner.

Et Voila! Thanks Tiara for my guest post!

Black & White in Paris

One thing you can't miss in Paris is Le Jardin du Luxembourg, A massive building that holds the museum with an even bigger yard filled with flower gardens, ponds and romantic spots. It's absolutely breath taking.

Palazzo pants in Paris

 Walking in Paris all day long required a comfy outfit. Palazzo pants are my recent favorite thing! This floral print in Paris felt like the right setting.

For a played down look, wear it with sandals and when night time falls pop on some metallic heels to dress it up.
