Winter 2013 - Quick Look

Last week we worked with some very talented people to put together the Belle + Beau Winter 2013 lookbook. Below is quick look at the first few images sent through by our photographer Olivia. You can check out her other talented work here or on her blog Make Believe x

Sneaky - sneak!

This happened last night.

We shot our new season lookbook and had this cute little visitor at the end of the night. Hey Bunny!

Lover-ly

It's Valentines Day tomorrow and normally I'm not bothered about this overly commercialised day. However, this year these Nature Baby cushions have got the best of me. If I got given one of these cute little heart print cushions I would not be disappointed! They're made from organic cotton and filled with organic wool, you can get them in store or online here. If hearts are just too cheesy for you then there are a range of other equally lovely prints including a bunny, a mushroom and a pear to name a few.

Our picks for a more environmentally friendly 'V Day' also include locally grown flowers (ask your chosen florist), handmade chocolates (Bennetts are our favourite), or a thoughtful homemade picnic spread somewhere special. Take this advice and you won't go wrong . . . Promise x

Grilled Cumin-Lime Zucchini Quesadilla

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest today. It's from a very good looking food blog called Naturally Ella by Erin Alderson. Her site is right up my alley being both vegetarian and neatly laid out with the option of selecting recipes based on the ingredients seasonal availabilty. The photos a clear and sharp and everything looks so incredibly delish!
This Quesadilla is my pick for this week check it out on her site here. I think I might put ours on the BBQ with some corn too (You can't beat corn sprinkled with salt, chilli flakes and lime juice in the summer)  No doubt I will be posting a few more of her creations in future.

Ingredients

• ½ medium zucchini
• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
• ½ lime juice and zest
• ½ tablespoon honey
• 2-3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 2-4 8″ or 10″ whole wheat tortillas

Instructions

1. Cut zucchini in to ¼” slices and place in a large bowl. Whisk together ½ tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon flakes, ½ lime zest/juice, and ½ tablespoon of honey. Pour over zucchini, cover, and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
2. When ready to cook, light grill to medium heat. Place slices on grill and let cook on each side until browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully cut in to small strips. Layer strips on half of the tortilla and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
3. Return to grill and cook on each side until tortilla is crisp and cheese is melted. Serve with greek yogurt mixed with lime juice and cilantro.
