#TEBcrew 's fashion team is back for some trendy advice about your summery style: take a seat and enjoy some fashion pills by Stella, MsD & Phranci!

Imagine this: your toes in the sand, the sound of sea weaves, the taste of a fresh cocktail...

I think this Zara limited edition dress would definitely fit the scenario.

However, if you you are planning to pass your holidays at work, than this pretty Lazzari shirt should be your daily must-have! Check out the Lazzari website: there are a lot of interesting clothes, especially for romantic girls.

Last but not least a cool leather backpack: not so "summerish", yes, but I'm desperately looking for one! Zara had two nice versions, but they went out of stock like...immediately!

This college-inspired one is a good alternative to those high-end and too expensive Michael Kors/ Givenchy/Moschino designed leather backpacks.

For me Summer = Sea, so for this season's wishlist I picked three key-pieces for a holyday by the beach. First a crochet bikini by She Made Me, in my opinion the best brand for crochet bikinis. Then a pair of playful pom pom sandals, which I would style with a white cotton mini dress. Pom poms have been a big trend lately, with famous brands like Aquazzurra or Dolce &Gabbana using them to decorate their flat or heeled sandals and even bags. Finally a pair of colorful silk shorts. These Dolce & Gabbana shorts are the perfect choice for a holiday in Capri or Taormina!

Welcome back to our glamourous Food section! 

Today Le Prince will invite us to his kitchen to discover an unusual cooking technique: do you have a dishwasher at home? are you lazy when it comes to cooking? Well, this receipe is definitely made for you!

Let's discover today's special by Le Prince...

Bentornati nella nostra fascinosa rubrica culinaria!

Oggi Le Prince ci invita nella sua cucina per scoprire una inusuale tecnica di cottura: avete una lavastoviglie? siete pigri quando si parla di cucinare? Allora questa ricetta è fatta apposta per voi! Scopriamo insieme il piatto del giorno...

COOKING WITH LE PRINCE #6

DISHWASHER'S KING PRAWNS

4 Argentinian king prawns

1 glass jar with hermetical seal and resistant to heat, 1/2 l of capacity (those for jams are perfect)

Extra virgin oil

80ml dry white wine

1 teaspoon of mustard

Black pepper, salt, oregano, nutmeg

1 small chili pepper

Citron peel

Aromatic vinegar

Method:

Shell the prawns (if you prefer, you can leave the shells or buy already shell-off prawns).

Put all the ingredients into the glass jar, except for the aromatic vinegar; add spices and salt to taste. Seal it well and shake to season the prawns.

Load the dishwasher as you usually do, and add the jar. Select a complete program to 70°C. It will last 2 hours approximately, so in the meantime enjoy a film or a book, or keep up with #TEB latest news.

When the washing-up is done, lay the table and take the jar from the dishwasher (be careful it will be hot!); open it and pull out the prawns with a fork.

Lay the prawns on a dish and season with aromatic vinegar. Unexpected, isn't it?

Recommendations:

Pay specific attention to the jar top: it must be sealed to prevent water, filth or soap from entering; if you unsure, put the jar into a bag for frozen food and close with a knot - in this way, it will be 100% sealed.

Always use only this amount of ingredients for each jar: if you fill the jar too much, the prawns may not cook well. For more servings, prepare more singular jars.

Italian version:

GAMBERONI LAVATI E PROFUMATI

Questa ricetta è facilissima da realizzare e propone un piatto che viene cotto utilizzando il calore che si sviluppa durante il lavaggio in lavastoviglie dei piatti sporchi. Usare una fonte di energia utile ad altro, rende questo piatto Ecofriendly. Inoltre si hanno tutti i vantaggi della cottura a bassa temperatura, in cui si mantengono intatti aromi e profumi.

Ingredienti per un vaso di gamberi (sufficiente per due persone):

4 gamberoni argentini

un vaso di vetro a chiusura ermetica resistente al calore da almeno mezzo litro di capienza (quelli da marmellate sono perfetti)

olio extra vergine

80ml vino bianco secco

un cucchiaino di senape

sale, pepe nero, origano, noce moscata

un peperoncino piccolo

scorza di cedro

aceto balsamico

Procedimento:

Pelare i gamberoni (ma se preferite, potete anche lasciare la corazza, o addirittura usare dei gamberi già sgusciati).

Mettere tutti gli ingredienti nel vaso di vetro, uno dopo l'altro, tranne l'aceto balsamico. Dosate sale e spezie secondo il vostro gusto personale. Chiuderlo bene ed agitare per qualche secondo, in modo da condire bene i gamberi.

Caricare la lavastoviglie con i piatti e le pentole da lavare, mettervi dentro sale, detersivo e brillantante. Ah, certo, anche il vaso dei gamberi chiuso ermeticamente ;-) Azionare un ciclo completo a 70 gradi. Intanto potete godervi un bel film o un buon libro, oppure seguire le ultime novità di #TEB. Avrete circa due ore di tempo, quindi organizzatevi in anticipo.

Terminato il lavaggio, apparecchiate la tavola e prendete il vaso (attenzione, è caldo), apritelo ed estraete delicatamente i gamberi con una forchetta. Disporli armoniosamente su un piatto e condirli con una goccia di aceto balsamico. Sorprendente, no?

Consigli:

Fate attenzione che il coperchio del vaso chiuda perfettamente, per evitare che ci entri acqua, sporco o detersivo. Se avete qualche dubbio, fate così: inserite il vaso in un sacchetto per surgelati e chiudetelo ben stretto con un nodo. In questo modo sarà sigillato al 100%. Usate sempre questa dose per ogni singolo contenitore. Se avete più commensali a cena, non riempite ulteriormente il vaso, ma realizzate più contenitori individuali. Se si riempie troppo un solo vaso, c'è il rischio che i gamberi al centro non cuociano bene.

Marco a.k.a Le Prince

Read Beyonce’s full speech:

“I feel so much love and I feel so proud right now. Thank you guys for this incredible honor. As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Most of you guys don’t know this but my grandmother was a seamstress. My grandparents did not have enough money and could not afford my mother’s Catholic school tuition, so my grandmother sewed clothes for the priests and the nuns, and made uniforms for the students in exchange for my mother’s education. She then passed this gift down to my mother and taught her how to sew.

When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and creativity to giver her children their dreams. My mother and my Uncle Johnny, God bless his soul, designed all of our first costumes and made each piece by hand, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into ever small detail. When I wore these clothes on stage I felt like Khaleesi. I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.

My mother — who’s so fabulous and beautiful and is here tonight, I love you — my grandmother, and my uncle were always with me so I could not fail. My mother actually designed my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first CFDA Awards dress, my first Grammy dress, and the list goes on and on and this to me is the true power and potential of fashion. It’s a tool for finding your own identity, expression, and strength. It transcends style and is a time capsule of all of our greatest milestones. So to my mother, my uncle, my grandma, thank y’all. Thank you for showing me that having a presence is far more than the clothes you wear and your physical beauty. Thank you for showing me to never take no for an answer. Thank you for showing me how to take risks, work hard, and live life on my own terms.

I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people feel like they can write their own stories. Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even therapists. I encourage you to not forget this power you have or take it lightly. We have an opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all your work it goes so far beyond what the eyes can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, to show people how to embrace their complications and flaws and see the true beauty that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award I’ll never forget this night. Got bless y’all.”

These words are truly inspiring, we appreciate that she took that moment to thank all the people that worked hard to support her career. Isn't this a true Queen? 

Ok, let's not forget the purpose of this article: what about the red carpet?
