Well, That's Just Brie-lliant!

So by now, I hope ya'll know a little bit about how much Amanda and I love food. Especially CHEESE. I literally would give away one of my limbs for the last block of cheese on earth, if that gives you a bit of context. So when I saw that Bath Spa University fashion students had created the most brie-lliant (hehe) outfits made entirely of cheese, I was thrilled! The students used over 2,000 lbs of cheddar cheese in order to fashion some interesting couture gowns. Check out some photos of their masterpieces below:

Lisa Dillon also created a pair of "Jimmy Cheese" heels to add to the collection, using bread and cheddar cheese.

The only problem for me is that I would have eaten the dresses (and the bag too ...although perhaps not the shoes) by the time I actually got to my destination. So much cheddar, so little time. This is sort of along the same vein as Lady Gaga's meat dress, huh? And definitely reminiscent of Fulvio Bonavia's edible accessories as well as Sung Yeon Ju's Wearable Foods. Hm.. I see a pattern forming here. I guess I might be slightly obsessed with food worn as clothing... let's just pretend that's normal for now, okay? 

Have a happy weekend! It's Amanda's 23rd birthday on Sunday, so eating lots of meat products will definitely be involved. Look forward to pictures!

Food Food FOOD

I just got home from college (for the last time.. oh my goodness!) so I thought I'd post some of the fun thangs I've been up to the past few weeks before graduation. Two weeks ago I went to the SoWa market in Boston, and wandered around the farmer's market tasting every sample possible (honey, salmon paté, cheese, pesto... the list goes on). The food trucks were amazing too. I seriously think I had the best damn lamb skewer of all time from Silk Road BBQ.

Lots and lots of cooking has been occurring too, including a huge food fiesta last week with mustard-crusted chicken, rice pilaf, stir-fry beef n veggies and of course an overabundance of wine and cheese. Mah dear Caroline made a loaf of bread which I positively devoured with a touch of the honey bought at SoWA. We also decided to test out the crispy potato roast pinched from everyone's favourite Smitten Kitchen, adding in some garlic and green onions for good measure. I seriously want to eat it all over again.

Graduation was just as long and emotional as expected, but now it's time for summer in NYC. Horraaaay. Stay tuned for news of Amanda & Azzara's summer reunion, which will most definitely include food, fun and forking out money we don't have for shopping.

A Matter of Taste: Fulvio Bonavia's Turns Food Into Art

I was perusing my dear friend Elisa's blog and saw a post about Fulvio Bonavia, an Italian photographer best known for his advertisements for Heineken, Adidas, BMW, and Audi. After a closer look at his work, I knew I had to share with you guys. Bonavia started out as a graphic designer and illustrator and then moved into photographing for various companies. Personally, I prefer his photos that combine food and fashion (two of our favourite things here at Style Relish). His book A Matter of Taste chronicles his foray into food-related art. Check out some of my favourites below:

If you guys are looking for some cool accessories this summer, why not make a good ol' blueberry bag? The pieces are made out of real fruits and vegetables so they decay in real time, which just adds another step to the artistic process. I'd love to have a cheese bag any day, although it probably wouldn't last very long in my house.
