OOTD: Cherry Cobbler & Boyfriend Talk

OOTD: Cherry Cobbler & Boyfriend Talk

Tuesday, 3 September 2013

So it may be September already but the summer heat it hanging on a little longer for us in London. I wore this outfit the other day to go for lunch with Andrew, which is all we seem to be doing at the moment, it's just a nice way for us to have some quality time together while the sun is still out, I love the little cafes out in the middle of nowhere and he doesn't mind when there arnt too many wasps about - the other day, one decided to take a swimming lesson in his coke - Not Happy haha

 He's been ill the last few days - Man Flu, I suspect so I haven't had a chance to see him for four days which is crazy long for us. I alwasy get asked how we can spent so much time together but that's just the kind of couple we are, anyway hopefully he will be better tomorrow for our wagamamas and cinema date night at my favourite place (Westfield, if you didn't know!) It will also give me a chance to have a look in Lola & Grace as I recently won a voucher and want to scout out a pretty necklace to replace my last one (which I'm still wearing in these images)

On to the outfit, how cute is this top?! It was hand made to my measurements by the lovely Adel from Fox Vintage! I've had some lovely bits and pieces from them and if, like me, you like some vintage style but hate the thought of wearing someone elses old clothes, this place is perfect! They take old sewing patterns and make new clothes out of super cute materials!  I paired it with my QUAY sunglasses, a bargian £1 skirt from H&M and these super cute wedges that Andrew bought me from New look back when he was at Uni!

Lifestyle: Cupcake Class

Lifestyle: Cupcake Class

Saturday, 29 June 2013

Sorry about all the lifestyle post guys, As I've said before, it's really hard to do outfit posts at the moment and ive been to a few events lately so I hope you like these posts in the meantime.

Bloggers love cupcakes. Fact right? So I was super excited when I was invited to cupcake decorating class at the Gloucester Road Millennium Hotel. Of course I love making cupcakes at home, I've mastered the cake part but that's where it ends, I had no idea how to decorate them and the be honest by the time I've taken them out of the oven my family have already eaten most of them within 5 minutes.

The hotel itself was lovely and grand. It came across as a very conferencey kinda place with rooms that held up to 500 people. The guest rooms were clean and spacious and the even had a guest club thing where if you stay in a club room you'll get lots of extras and access to the club lounge for complementary breakfast and things like that. 

I arrived first, as usual and given a lovely summery fruit cocktail. When the rest of the bloggers started turning up we had a chat and sat down around big round tables. First we were taught how to make the prestigious rose. We used food colouring with our sugar paste and rolled it into five little pea sized balls. Then we flattened them. Carefully we had the wrap them around each other and flare out the edges until we got somthing the resembled a rose. I was so happy with my first one, the pink one, but then it went down hill haha I made two more not so impressive ones as well. 

After playing around with the cutters and different colours, we were given 6 sponge cupcakes each and shown how to pipe roses with buttercream icing, this part was super fun but the most difficult, it is very hard to make it look good haha after adding the icing we put our roses and shapes into the cream and ta-dah. All done! 

It was a great evening and Millennium made us all feel very welcome with complementary canopoês, drinks and lovely goodie bags at the end! 

Cupcake class is one of those things at I've always wanted to do, so a big thank you to the people who made it happen for me here. I've been thinking loads about things I want to do lately, well more places that I want to go to as it is coming up to holiday season. Last year I got to do some of the things on my list such as visiting the leaning tower of Pisa and seeing Pompeii. This year I'm hoping to go punting in Venice! Thailand and Disney florida (again) are top of my list for next year!
