 There's no denying that I love to cook, and any kind of pasta dish is my favourite thing to eat. But sometimes making some fancy sauces or using loads of vegetables is time consuming and takes a lot of effort, especially if you struggle with your way round a kitchen. When it comes to cooking, sometimes it's all about simplicity, and my recipe today is all about that! A simple tomato sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any form of pasta. So carry on reading to find out how I make my own. Vegetarian Tagliatelle Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
500g fresh or dried Tagliatelle
1 x 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
1 small bunch of basil
pinch of chilli flakes
sea salt
black pepper
Parmesan cheese 

Method
Heat a saucepan over a medium heat and add some olive oil. 
Add the chopped garlic and fry for a couple minutes. 
Add the tinned tomatoes.. 
Season with chilli flakes, black pepper and a tiny pinch of salt.
 Cook the tagliatelle according to the packet instructions, and drain once cooked.
Toss in the cooked pasta in your tasty tomato sauce and mix well.
Serve with Parmesan cheese, black pepper and a sprig of fresh basil.

The end result is super tasty and can be put together in a matter of minutes. A great, easy recipe to follow for when you need a fast lunch or dinner idea!

Let me know if you give this recipe a go, and I'd love to hear about your quick pasta sauce recipes!

  After developing quite the obsession with a few LUSH products lately, there always seems to be a couple that I just have to keep on repurchasing and will continue to do in the future. Enter Creamy Candy Bubble Bar.
LUSH Creamy Candy Bubble Bar
Creamy Candy has got to be one of my top LUSH products and I just cant get enough of it. The scent of this bubble bar is just so dreamy and to die for. A blend of sweet and girly, yet so uplifting and fresh, this is bound to make a good, relaxing bath! With a blend of 14 ingredients, including Fair Trade Vanilla, Colombian Cocoa Butter and Almond Oil, this bubble bar is bursting with sweet and comforting scents, that have a nourishing, moisturising, hydrating and softening effect on the skin.

 Just simply crumble this bubble bar under a running tap and let the Creamy Candy magic happen!

So as you may have guessed from the title, I am currently obsessed with buying shorts. Hands down, I'm a shorts kinda girl. Shorts over skirts any day. I don't know what it is, but there's just so many pairs out there that I am dying to get my hands on. 

The two pairs of shorts featured in today's post are both recent purchases from Forever21 and I am definitely in love! Usually I'm not a printed bottom half lover, I usually go for something quite plain and boring, but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and go for something a little more colourful and vibrant, and just something to add a little special something to my outfits.

First up are the gorgeous Scarf Print Tap Shorts. Aren't these just stunning! I absolutely adore the colours and print of these! The material used is so soft and silky, they just feel amazing on and really flatter your body shape. The pocket detail on the shorts really give them a smart and sophisticated detail, but with that more casual, relaxed vibe that I base my style choice on. What I love about these shorts is that they are so versatile in how you can style them, both casually for daytime, or dress them up for an evening look, you can do both! At only £13.50, these were definitely a bargain purchase!

Secondly are these gorgeous Pleated Tribal Shorts. Unfortunately I am unable to find them online, but they may still be in stores. These have to be the most flattering and comfortable shorts I have ever purchased. The print and colours is definitely a little out there and bold, but paired with a simple colour, I think they look great! Below I have a couple of pictures, where I pieced them together with a simple black top and black heels for my friend's leaving party.


Are you shorts obsessed too? Where are your go-to stores to buy shorts? Have you bought any recently?

When a lovely little email landed in my inbox from the lovely Jessica asking if I would like to take part in a blogger challenge teamed with BooHoo where I could share with you all my ideal festival, I knew this was definitely right up my street! Festivals are always so much fun and a great way to spend a dew days with some of your closest friends, so if I could create my ideal festival, it would go a little like this...
I would share a tent with...  obviously for my ideal festival, I would have a super huge tent to share with all my best friends! You will clearly want to have the best time possible and what better way to spend it with your nearest and dearest! Going to a festival should be all about having fun and making memories that will last a lifetime, so grab all your friends and have a blast!
My headliners would be…  I have such a varied music taste, that I would want so many amazing bands and artists performing at my ideal festival! But if I have to narrow it down to a few headliners, I'd definitely choose Bastille, Disclosure, Calvin Harris, Rudimental, Ellie Goulding and Justin Timberlake! These 5 headliners would be sure to create such an amazing festival and I think would just have such a great vibe to any summer festival!
Flavoured Slush Puppies, Photobooths, Popcorn and Neon Sunglasses ….. would be free for all attending. No summer festival would be great without some delicious Slush Puppies to cool off and rehydrate! Definitely some lovely cola, raspberry and lemon flavours! Delicious! A Photobooth is a big yes! You will obviously want to capture those great memories, so grab your friends and head to the photobooth, whether its just for a standard photo or something that little bit silly with a box full of props! Popcorn, we all need something to munch on, whether is sweet or salty, butter or toffee, there will be something for everyone! And finally sunglasses, but not just any plain ones, NEON ONES! What summer festival would be complete without some bold, bright sunglasses!
The item that I could not go without would be… some free WiFi! What madness and chaos this festival would be without it! How would you upload those cheeky Instagram snaps, or update your Facebook, Post a little Tweet or even update your blog! Free WiFi is a MUST!
Wellies or Wedges? Definitely wedges! A summer festival with great weather, you will need to look your best, so there is definitely no need for the wellies! But if its a beach festival, I would probably suggest some sandals or flats!
Beach or Field? Definitely the beach! No need to worry about any grass stains or wet patches of grass! The beach would be the ideal spot for a summer festival, and if the weather gets a little hot, you can always go for a little paddle in the sea to cool off!
The theme would be… Ibiza! Sometimes a holiday abroad can be a little too expensive, so I'm bringing the Ibiza Party to my festival! Lazer lights, bubble machines, foam/water canons, you name it, I've got it! And when the sun goes down, the glow sticks come out!
Celeb spot of the weekend would be…  Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne, these two would definitely be strutting there stuff around at my festival.
Alice Swing Vest // Carys Tropical Print Pom Pom Trim Kimono // Claire Super Short Acid Wash Denim Hotpants // Daisy Ankle High Cage Toe Post Gladiator // Khloe Leaf And Chain Headband
As you can see my festival OOTD would be quite casual and simple, but incorporating those Ibiza vibes to make this a stand out outfit! A simple cami and denim shorts is the perfect combo to soak up the sun and keep cool! But if you're feeling a little burnt or chilly, this gorgeous bright kimono is a perfect cover up! Completing the look with these gorgeous gladiator sandals and a leaf detailed headband for that added festival chic!

What would be your ideal festival? Who would be your headliners? What outfit would you wear? What do you think of the outfit I have created?
