Spring outfit post. What a revelation. This may be a super basic outfit, but who doesn't love a bit of basics every now and then (literally my whole wardrobe lol). I love love love this top, so much so that i've worn it most days since its purchase. The photos are a bit dodge, mainly because I don't yet have a tripod so I was relying on self-timer, a ledge and awful modelling, but i've sifted through the hundreds I took and these seemed to be ok. I don't actually have a clue where my necklace is from but it seemed to tie in well with the faded finish of the tee-shirt. Everything in this outfit unknowingly compliments itself, along with my ochre- blonde hair.  I am genuinely looking forward to doing more outfit posts in the future and I hope you enjoyed this one.

things i've been loving

Hey again! I really have been loving all these things especially the cute little polaroid frame from UO. The nail varnish and body spray are both from & other stories: a shop my friend recently persuaded me to go into and have loved ever since. The patterned notebook is from Monki (another shop I have been loving) and the fluffy pen is from Paperchase. I have been using my polaroid a lot recently, hence the photo frame. The glass bottle is actually a spray on toner, which is incredibly useful and refreshing on the skin. Also, aren't the cotton buds from topshop just SO CUTE. Lastly I'm not sure where the necklace is from but it is beautiful and I have many compliments on it so I thought I would add it to the mix!

 Ok, where have I been for the last few months? The answer to that is basically hibernating from the cold and dodging every responsibility that comes my way. January and Feburary were pretty ok for post christmas, apart from the weather being rather dull. But the real question is: why haven't I posted?! The answer to that is I had a complete mind blank and thought of absolutely no ideas, until now :)) I hope you enjoyed and look forward to any upcoming posts. Right, now back to my maths homework (wish me luck).

making mince pies

Hi guys! I actually cannot believe that it is only 4 days until christmas arghhh. I made these mince pies with a couple of friends and look how cute they are. AND they taste good, perfect combo! 

i made a gingerbread house

There are only 5 days until christmas!! I actually cannot believe it has gone this quickly, on one hand I am suuuperr excited but on the other I am actually kind of sad that it is almost over. Todays post will be about the gingerbread house I have made and which I am extremely pleased with (it is way beyond my expectations as it turned out pretty good?!).

Ok.. maybe it is not as good as I lead you to believe but I am very pleased with it and, to be honest I cannot wait to sit down and eat it :)))) Can I just mention that I am watching The Polar Express right now, I feel so festive! Goodbyeeee.

trying out a pinterest card

Hi guys. I found this card on pinterest and decided to give it a go and see if it was actually possible! I am actually really happy with what I ended up making, even though it is not exactly the same as the one on pinterest.

christmas gift guide for her

Hi again! I can't believe that it's only 10 sleeps until christmas ahhhh. These are just a few ideas, on the high and low end spectrum, that you could buy a girl for christmas. Hopefully you can see what they are just by the picture but incase you aren't I will say where they are from from left to right (starting at the top). Jo Malone- Tomato leaf, Rococo chocolates, Liz earl- cleansing mask, luxury lush pud- Lush, brush- Mason and person, soap (lime)- Ortigia, Diptyque, Topshop and Skinny Dip.

perfect hot chocolate

Hot chocolates are a must in the winter, I genuinely don't know what I would do without them! They are the best beverages to come home to and surprisingly fun to make. You're going to need some nutella, milk, squirty cream, optional sprinkles/ marshmallows (if your really in the moment, both).

Depending on how many people you are serving put milk into a pan and add nutella until it is a dark hot chocolatey colour. Serve your drinks in your prefered mug, add the toppings and drink uppp. I'm not just saying this but this is SO much better than the powdered hot chocolate.
