Crazy About: BRANDY MELVILLE

During my trip to Amsterdam I came across a kitsch little American shop by the name of Brandy Melville and am now obsessed with their clothes!
The shop was filled with those naturally beautiful girls with olive skin and hair down to their ankles so I did feel a little out of place but as soon as I walked in I knew I would so buy one of everything if I had the money, not the usual " I might wear this, really wouldn't wear this and OMG" that I get in other shops.
They don't sell anything flamboyant, just simple and effortlessly cute with the occasional witty graphic tee. 
I bought a floaty flower dress, a floral bandeau and a tartan skirt.

The dress is my favourite, if I could I would live in it!

I would highly recommend visiting the Brandy Melville website and having a browse through the collection.

Soup Stuff: Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash

What You'll Need:

• 1½ Sweet Potato(chopped into a million pieces)
• 1 Butternut Squash (as above)
• 1 Medium Brown Onion (diced)
• 2 medium red Chillies (chopped and also optional)
• 1tsp of Olive Oil (or other preferred)
• 2 Cloves of Garlic
• A few handfuls of Basil (I have a plant growing in my kitchen so I used fresh)
• A pinch of Salt
• 750ml of Water combined with 1 Vegetable stock cube
• 250ml of Milk (I used semi-skimmed)
• A food processor or hand blender

What You Need To Do:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan then add the onion and garlic until translucent.
2. Continue then by adding the diced squash and sweet potato and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the salt, stock, milk ,basil and chillies then bring to the boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes (depending on the size of your chunks you may need less or more time)
4. Blend the vegetable mixture until no more lumps can be seen, as we want this as smooth as possible.

You're now ready to tuck in, or if you prefer empty the soup into a container and freeze for another day!

Let me know what you think guys, I had a lot of fun making this and am looking forward to my next soupy adventure!
