What to wear during a business trip

So this week I've been staying with an agency in Birmingham as part of my internship. 
I've already met these guys a few times and I really like what they're doing and how creative they are. 
Having this possibility for joining them and working with them on their projects has been amazing. 
I couldn't be more thankful for this experience. 
As I'm always planning my outfits for work days or especially for business trips, I had so much fun getting these three outfits together which I want to show you in this blog post today. 
I usually keep it simple and classy but every time I try to add something a little bit special to it. 
I really hope you enjoy reading this and I wish you a very nice day. 

PS: Read until the end and you will find two very nice restaurant tips for Birmingham ;) :*

As promissed I'm going to give you two dinner or lunch tips for Birmingham :)

#1: The first Restaurant's called "Belago" and is a very nice mexican place you can go to. The staff is super friendly and the food amazing!!!! The portions are perfect and even if you choose a starter, main course and a desert you won't feel stuffed in the end. My highlight there have been the sweet potatoe fries and the red wine chorizzo. 

#2: The second one is called Thai Edge and I went there by coincidence. I really enjoied my meal and it was very light. Very nice staff, lovely food and I loved the restaurant's design :). As a starter we had some spring rolls, grilled chicken and a couple of other things. As a main course we had beef with beens and chilli, chicken with nudles and sesame and some veggies. 

It's snack time! (DIY kale chips)

Yesterday I went quickly into the Mark's and Spencer store as I needed something right after work.
I passed by the salad and vegetable aisle and I spotted packages of kale.
During the last weeks I've heard so much about kale and I know that it is very, very healthy. Unfortunately I don't really like it in a salad but I've seen that a lot of people use kale as an alternative to potatoe chips. So I decided to give it a try and started my little expermiment last night.

What you need: - Olive Oil
                          - Vinegar
                          - Sea salt

I put a certain amount of kale into a bowl, add 3 table spoons of Olive Oil, a little bit of vinegar and sea salt and mix it with a spoon.

Afterwads you take a baking tin and place the kale on it. On my pictures you can see that I didn't have baking paper at home, but if you wash the tin very well afterwards, it shouldn't be a problem.

Then you place the tin into your oven which you've preheated on 170 degrees and leave it in there for 10 minutes. After ten minutes you should have a look on your chips and their colour.
It's absolutely normal that they're a bit brown but they shouldn't be black.

When you think they look good, take them out of the oven and they're ready to be consumed.

It's such an easy recipe and I love it. It tastes so good and is a perfect healthy snack. You can use different herbs to create many different sorts of kale chips.

My ingredients!

Voilà the preroasted kale
