Sydney Australia

After reading "Lucy in the Sky" by Paige Toon I fell madly in love with Sydney. So I decided to share some photos of this city here on my blog.

Double hair knot - How to

I really love this casual effortless look. Perfect for summer.

To capture the summer interpretation of the double hair knot, the simplest of instructions are as follows:

1. First, spritz the hair all over with a sea-salt spray (Orlando Pita used Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray)
2. Next, scrunch the hair into bunches while drying to add waves and texture 
3. Pull a thick section of hair out at the front, sweeping it into a deep side part
4. Finally, take back two sections of hair and tie into a knot - then again into a double knot

Campari-Citrus Sorbet

Campari-Citrus Sorbet
each recipe makes 1.5 quarts sorbet



Grapefruit Sorbet
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups grapefruit juice
1/2 cup Campari

Orange Sorbet
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups orange juice
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup Campari

Mix the water and sugar together in a small pan over a low heat, and bring up to boil until the sugar dissolves. Allow the simple syrup to boil for exactly 4 minutes (this will give the sorbet the best consistency). Remove from heat and cool (makes a little over 1 cup).

Combine the citrus juice and Campari and add 1 cup of the cooled syrup. Adjust to taste: for the grapefruit sorbet, you may want to add a tablespoon or two extra syrup if you prefer it less tart. Remember, the mixture will taste slightly sweeter in liquid form than it does when frozen.

Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s directions (if you don't have an ice cream machine, don't despair! They also make great popsicles. After churning, allow sorbet to set in the freezer at least two hours. Serve in a bowl, or in a hollowed-out orange or grapefruit.
