Round up: The Hunger Games

If you haven't read the book I'm not going to tell the story or spoil the excitement, but every one in my office read the complete series and we all got super into it!!!

I've mentioned the book to a few of my friends out side of work, and was pleasantly surprised to find that quite a few of them enjoyed it as much as I did!!

I was inspired by Katness and the fighters in the Districts and all the Delicious foods and extreme fashions of the folks in the capital.



So this Round Up is in honor of The Hunger Games!!


All of the foods sounded awesome, but what stuck with me was Katness's favorite lamb stew with plumbs.





Particularly because I really love lamb, but only have it prepared at Indian restaurants. This one on Fictional Food looks delicious!!



This whole blog, Fictional Food is brilliant!!


Bring food from the page to the plate.












This print is . I like the masculine tone with the blues and the clean fonts, and that it's not completely obvious that it's a reference to the book....but those who know.....know.



I tried to find where the print came from, but from pintrest.com it was just linked to a Tumbler account. If I come across it on Etsy, a will absolutely 100% add a link to it in here.




The Helmut Lang, Weathered Shearling Jacket is fantastic!!! It's a great mix of a classic feminine leather jacket, with the sleek and slender out line, but also a bit more modern with the off set zipper and wrap up hood.

I can easily see a sheath of arrows thrown over the shoulder here, as our heroine is running through the woods.










I really loved that Katness's little sister Prim, has a goat, not only for the money from selling the milk, but it also seems to be a bit of a pet too.
In England, some friends of my parents had goats at their house. They by no means we're living out in the farm lands, but rather in the middle of a pretty populated area, and constantly shouted the praise of their little ladies!!

One day, when we have a bit more space (for them to roam and to build them a little pin) I would LOVE to have a few goats!!!




These were some great resources on urban goat keeping.


The Goat Justice League



Urban Farm Online - Which I will for sure be checking out again. A great resource for every thing from chicken coops to container planting.





And it has inspired me to wear my hair in a long, gorgeous, glamorous, yet practical for the games, braid, ala Miss. Katness Everdeen
