My first ever Cupcakes






The above are the most skilled cupcakes ever invented.... well, maybe not but I'm proud.... They're the first cupcakes I've ever made by myself without cake mix.... I was mainly proud because I managed to crack two eggs which I have also never done before.... I was absolutely determined to make pink cupcakes but to be honest the red food colouring just turned the mix orange.... At least I had the butter cream as well.  To be honest I think these are better than Selfridges and that I am going to be a cupcake maker when I grow up.  That is all.

Improv. & Irrel.




OK! So my 'new layout' isn't that different or that exciting, I just edited my pictures differently!! So basically this outfit is a bit of an improvisation and is rather irrelevant to be honest.  Its inspired from some randomer who I can't even remember.... deep eh? As usual I shall start from the top: my shirt :)  In December my mum bought me some Gilly Hicks tracksuit bottoms, but I decided I wanted to return them.... I must have spent like 30 minutes going round the shop 101 times trying to find something else I liked, she refused to let me do the normal thing and just buy some of their pants (geez it is a lingerie store..), then finally just as we were about to leave I decided to put my mother out of her misery and got this!  Its really thin so not really the best for this cold season but I like it buttoned right up :P  I did specifically buy it so i could just throw it over a bikini in summer but thought I'd get some wear out of it earlier than July....  Now, I decided to put something else with the shirt: a ribbon, this is the only black ribbon I could find which I keep round my lamp shade for one reason or the next, its Marc Jacobs from around Christmas time (FREE HOUSE OF FRASER GIFT WRAPPING FTW).... if I had a plain black ribbon I would have worn one, but I don't so this has to suffice for the time being.  Once again my trusty body-con makes an appearance, promise I don't wear it everyday and I DO wash it all the time!!!!  


  I'm now contemplating whether to keep this new picture business or not.... I'll see how it goes....  Thank you for reading :)

Living In Denim & Socks

Shirt: Primark
Over the Knee Socks: Primark


Cheap outfit r us.  Basically I was just chilling and decided I was going to do a happy little photo sesh',  This is a rather in-expensive outfit, but its kind of cute I guess, This is the way I do my hair when I am having what I like to call a 'short day', my short days are when i despise my hair because it looks unnecessarily short and it bugs the heck out of me if it gets in my face & I will scream. (My hair and I have a constant battle). The main reason I took these was because I was feeling rather rejected as my lookbook photos have got 0 hype (oh so popular), and I decided a happy little photo taking would brighten up the day :P Thanks for viewing my irrelevance... :D

Rather Orange







Rust Coloured Cardigan: Zara
White Lacy Tank Top: Hollister
Body con Skirt: Chaos
Scarf: Primark
Tights: M&S
Belt: Primark
Rings: Topshop & Primark



Okie dokie.  This rusty orange coloured cardigan was bought from Zara a couple of months ago, although loads of places are now doing these orange, rusty coloured knits now! I decided to wear this cardigan as I thought just the black skirt and white top were too colourless and boring, although I did then decide to 'spice it up' with the scarf as well!  Now, in this post you are lucky enough to witness those gorgeous little 'things' and the end of my fingers that I no longer feel is acceptable to call 'fingernails', I don't know why but I am now back in the habit of biting them, mature- I know.  They are in such a state and I just haven't gotten around to painting them but from this moment onwards I have decided I definitely need to STOP (we shall see how long this lasts).  There is literally nothing worse than gross nails, and lucky me I've got some...  I don't really have too  much to say about this outfit today, it was another of those 'throw something on' days, and i thought it would be acceptable to do a post on it. :P  Thanks for reading, muchly appreciated <3

Clothes Haul

ul






Blue Knit Jumper: Primark
Green Shorts w/ braces: Zara
Scalloped Top: Topshop
Scarf: Primark
All Belts: Primark
Leaf Ring: Topshop
Pearl ring: Primark
Necklace: Primark


Today I went a bit overboard shopping.  What happened to my 'no spending'.... UGHH!! So anyway, I'll start from the top; the blue knit jumper sort thing from Primark.  This jumper cost me £12 which I thought was pretty good, a few weeks ago I saw one just like it for £40 in some random other top and thought it was too expensive and luckily found this one today.  I don't actually have very many blue clothes but I really liked this and its super comfy and it looks a lot nicer on than it does on the hanger!!  Secondly the green shorts with braces from Zara were only £10 reduced from £30, quite the bargain, if these weren't reduced I probably wouldn't have taken a second look at these but I actually really like them.  I bought them in a size 8 and they are absolutely massive for some irrelevant reason, but I'm going to keep them anyway and just use a safety pin or something to make them smaller.  The third thing I bought was the cream scalloped top from Topshop, this is one of the things I went out specifically to get, mainly because you can wear it with anything and I desperately needed just a plain top for some reason or the next.  Once I got home I looked at the label on the top and I realised it was Topshop 'Tall', NOT HAPPY. But I'm going to keep it anyway, I just cannot be bothered to go out and change it....  Also from Primark, I bought this random scarf thing, I have been wearing the same scarfs for forever so I basically needed to change and this one was soft and only £3 and that is all you need to know. 
  
  Throughout this week I have managed to buy 4 belts, all Primark of course :P I'm having a real skinny belt fetish at the moment and as they were dirt cheap I've just been buying them continuously....  FINALMENTE the jewellery; the first ring is one that I featured in an earlier post about rings I want (told you I would get one before February), although my best friend is now going to murder me for getting the same ring (love you frazz :P), I still needed it.  The second ring was Primark and so is the necklace, and although like half of the stuff i bought today is from Primark, I'm not actually a regular shopper there, but I guess it was just their lucky day....


OKAY. That was a long post.... OH WELL.... thank you for reading :D
