Ellie Ellie Wears

It's the start of September, and although August is behind us, that doesn't mean that we have to wrap up straight away. We are optimistic that the sunshine will stay with us (as reports suggest it may be here to stay for another 12 weeks) and this weeks outfit reflects this positivity, we are not ready to give up on the summer just yet. It may be the last time we get to wear shorts but lets hope Winter doesn't arrive too quickly.

This denim shirt from Rokit works well with these printed shorts from Lowie, with a fun retro print they are perfect for the Summer. The denim shirt can alternatively be teamed with jeans or a skirt or thrown over a dress! Finish off the outfit with these leather boat shoes from Bertie for a cool summer outfit. Our new Lucky Sixpence Date Coin Pendant works really well with this relaxed look, which you can customise with a special date.

Healthy Lollies!

We shared our scrumptious ice lolly recipe earlier in the summer and we can't get enough of the tasty fruity treat! If you didn't see the recipe before, take a look at our strawberry and yogurt lolly recipe! They were quick and easy to make and are perfect for the kids too!

We've found some other lovely looking lolly recipes that we can't wait to try, including these frozen berry & ginger nut yogurt pops, which would be great as a dinner party desert as well as a treat to cool off! 

These tangerine and plum sorbets on a stick also look delicious and make a refreshing desert or snack (that's if the sun is shining!)

Have you made any fruity lollies this Summer?

Garlic Garlic Garlic!

We wrote about the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival last year, and this year we finally got to go! We set off on the Ferry to the Isle of Wight to the islands biggest summer show. We saw a number of cookery demonstrations, of course all using the vital ingredient - garlic! As well as the giant garlic marquee, with was full to the brim of all kinds of garlic in every shape and size!

There is also so much to do with the family, with activities and fun for the kids and live music and delicious food!

If you get the chance to go next year, go! We will give you a little reminder before the festival so you don't miss it!

Shoreham Airshow!

As one of the premier family airshows in the UK, the Shoreham Airshow is a brilliant event that attracts the best UK and European display acts to its event each year.

Taking place next weekend on the 30th and 31st of August, the Airshow is a family fun day, with aircraft displays and exciting aerobatic displays. If you are a plane enthusiast, this is an event for you. The event this year will also see a new attraction which is a World War Two Scenario!

Held to support the work of the Royal Air Forces Association, this event raises so much money for this great cause, which provides comradeship to all members of the Royal Air Force and Royal Air Force Regiment. Since the show first started it has raised over £1.8 million for the RAFA.
