Hello everyone!

I thought I'd share a quick outfit post with you today. I realised a while ago I have never shared these leggings in an outfit post before. I have no idea why! They are by far my favourite leggings and I have had them for about 3 years now. They are the American Apparel Afrika leggings and I love them so much. Like most clothes in American Apparel the fit is amazing and they are super comfortable. I found them while on a spending spree with my birthday money, and it took me ages to decide whether to get them or not. It just didn't feel right spending so much on a pair of leggings when you could get similar in Primark for a fraction of the price. But as it was my birthday I treated myself, and I'm so glad I did. They have lasted so well! They haven't lost their shape at all, they don't have holes in and the colours haven't faded, unlike all of my cheaper leggings which are unwearable within months. I can't praise these leggings enough!

I bought this shirt recently in Primark and can see myself getting a lot of wear out of it this summer. I love the wash of the denim and it's a really nice, flattering shape and fit. I think it will be one of those staple pieces that will go with anything and feel comfortable but look good!

I picked up this blue stone bracelet (I think it's a type of turquoise but I can't remember the name of it!) in Marwell Zoo gift shop, of all places, for £2.50! I fell in love with the colour and don't think there has been a day since I got it I haven't worn it. I love the pop of colour it adds to an outfit!  

I would love for some of you to share your blog links with me/ your favourite blog links, I have a found a few new bloggers recently I really love and am really enjoying reading something new, so any more you could send my way I'd be really grateful for!

ZOO

Tweet

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd share some of the photo's from our trip to the zoo with you! David, Lily & I recently had a day out at the zoo with my little brother, sister & her boyfriend. It was Lily's first ever time at the zoo, and she loved it! She spent most of the day on either mine or David's shoulders & had so much fun seeing all the animals. She would point at them, get all excited & giggle, it was so cute! We were so lucky with the weather too, it was a lovely, sunny day and we had such a good time!

Unfortunately, the sunny weather hasn't lasted long, and today is cold and wet, and I'm not feeling very well at all. I've spent most of my afternoon after work in my comfy (scruffy) clothes drinking tea and reading magazines, and luckily Lily has been quite content to either play with her dolls house or cuddle watching Abney & Teal or Charlie & Lola.

I hope the weathers better where you are and that you feel better than I do!

WHITE, DENIM + BLUEBERRY MUFFIN

1. Topshop denim pinafore dress // 2. Boohoo Bethany shirt // 3. JD Sports Converse all star hi tops // 4. Boots Models Own blueberry muffin // 5. Accessorize eden bracelet // 6. Topshop lace trim socks // 7. Glamorous fringe bag

Hello everyone! How are you all? I thought I'd do a little wishlist post today. All of the lovely weather has had me planning my summer wardrobe, so I thought I'd share one of the outfits I've come up with! 

I love pastel blue combined with white at the moment, and think this denim pinafore dress is so cute! I've decided I want to live in pinafore dresses and dungarees this summer, and think white converse would just be the most perfect shoes to wear with them, especially when paired with some frilly socks peeping over the top! I love converse but have never owned a white pair, so I will be ordering these as soon as my  bank balance allows. I can imagine I will wear them with everything, as they are so cute yet practical. The embroidered collar of this shirt would also look so lovely with denim dresses and dungarees and adds a bit of interesting detailing to the outfit. I need the fringed bag in my life, it would go with anything and would make even the most boring of outfits instantly more stylish! Has anyone tried these Models Own scented nail polishes? I'm really intrigued by these! I don't really see the point in scented nail polish, yet really want some! It reminds me of the scented gel pens I collected when I was in school! Does anyone else remember them?

Look out for some outfit posts featuring some of these items very soon, because I definitely will be ordering some of these!

MMARSHMALLOW FLUFF CRISPY TREATS

Tweet  

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share a little recipe with you today. We had a lazy day at home in our pyjamas today, and I felt like making a sweet treat of some sort, so went through our almost-bare cupboards and came up with this recipe! I bought a jar of marshmallow fluff a while ago because I had never tried it before, but then didn't know what to do with it, so I finally used it today!These are so so simple but seriously yummy :)

For 5ish depending on the size of your cupcake cases, you will need:

2 cups of rice krispies
1 jar of raspberry marshmallow fluff (if you don't have any, you could just use some marshmallows)
a knob of butter
some sprinkles
a saucepan
some spoons
cupcake cases

Start by melting a knob of butter in your saucepan over a low heat. Once melted, you can add your marshmallow fluff. This stuff is so sticky, so I had to use two spoons and scrape the fluff into the saucepan as best I could! Leave for around 5 minutes until it is less of a big fluffy lump and more runny (so technical!).

 
 

Then you need to add your two cups of rice krispies. I literally measure mine with a teacup!



Give it all a good stir until the rice krispies are covered with Marshmallow fluff.

 

Then you can add your sprinkles and stir them all in. You could replace these for something else, maybe chocolate chips or smarties? I thought the sprinkles looked pretty and added a bit more texture :)



Then spoon the mixture into your cupcake cases and set aside for 10 minutes until they've set. You're done!



I made a cute little topper for mine out of some string, cocktail sticks and washi tape. Simple but effective! I think these would be perfect for birthday parties. Really quick and easy, but suprisingly delicious, they would go down a storm with friends and family! Mine were gone in seconds!

Hope your having lovely weekends and are enjoying the bank holiday if your here in the UK!
