Good top bad top.

SORRY.
I haven't been posting as regularly as I would have hoped, as I haven't been posting as regularly as I would have hoped to, but I have been EXTREMELY busy :)
I have found a top I really like from Topshop, and I have managed to make it useful for 3 different scenes (Town, work and evening).

Summer Packing Process (S.P.P)

Its nearly time for the holidays, and being the forgetful person I am, I need to start buying the stuff I need. And it aint easy. I have narrowed down some [lovely] objects which I may need (NEED) this summer. Some are more expensive than others, but hey, you have to make the choice whether you want it THAT bad.

I want most of this stuff THAT bad.

The brownie of great misunderstanding

SO, basically, I got it all wrong.

The brownies are not that bad, you just have to wait for them too cool. The recipe was superb, but remember not to mix the brownie and cheesecake too much, because its not really a marble effect its a, um....mixture effect.

(I tend to forget to follow instructions anyway)

TEE HEE

Don't be blue; be turquoise.

Heya guys,

I'm really sorry I haven't been writing as much as I wanted to for this week, but I had a ton of work to get off my shoulders!

Today, I made the most unsuccessful brownie-cheesecake any living thing will ever experience (yes, it was that bad).

Tomorrow I will upload the pictures (pinky swear). Polyvore has been a slight addiction and today I have made a set for summer. Hope you like it. 

Going to go to unsuccessfully try to mend my creation (brownie-cheesecake)

Toodles,

Ciao.

This weekend has gone by too quickly. Seriously. Ridiculously quickly. BUT, I have accomplished this weekend by going shopping (<3) which slightly slowed it down.

Its bucketing with rain. I have also been addicted with this webiste, Polyvore,m where you can share your style and make collages. Its proper addictive. 

Scroll down to see my 'buyings' of comfort and joy.

See ya,

A freakishly gorgeous ring from topshop

A beautiful present <3

New beige-pink pumps (£16!)

Monthly mags

I'm sorry, but I believe this is the most amazing hand cream tub ever.

the fussy person I am

Being the fussy person I am, I can actually NEVER find the right shade of nail-varnish I want, like a rosy-pink-red. BUT, (*trumpet sounds*) I did manage to make the perfect nail varnish using three nail varnishes.(brands: Aura, Rimmel and Nails inc.).

Its really easy to make but remember to make enough mixture! 

Ta-ta for now

Take that Oreo.

Yesterday, I made (YES, MADE) Oreos, using this simple recipe. Take that Nabisco (FACT: They are the company that invented it). Remember, 30 seconds after they come out of the oven, flatten them. It makes they thinner and more Oreo-like.

Necklaced.

The first thing I see when entering my room, is a jewelery holder holding all my lovely necklaces.
So I decided to 'showcase' some of my 'pieces' for the 'public'. (' ' used for exaggeration)

Top Tops for Summer

Yesterday, I posted about the dull English weather. Well today it hasn't changed. Its proper dull. 

These tops made me think of summer, don't know why but they did.

Scroll through this list without focusing your eyes at the window near your desk (showing even duller weather), unless its sunny :)

If it is, you have my permission to look through your window AND look at this list.

I'm going to stop talking now.

I love how the top and the high-waisted shorts go together, and shorts for just £10-WOW.

Ciao,

Brighton Tales

Yesterday, I went to Brighton with my friends (as you do). It is a really nice town and I recommend for you to see it! We spent most of the day wandering the streets and lanes, and we also went to the sea and the Pier. Nothing was better than enjoying a takeaway pizza by the sea, but the water was really cold, so we were only able to stand in the water for a minute max! Also there was this AMAZING sweet shop we found. It was filled with international candy from all over the world-we just stood there with our mouths open to be quite frank ;)Here are a few snapshots of my day there.

Block the colour

Two words: block colours. Whether they are in or out at the time; they will always be a fashion statement. Being the small munchkin person I am, I don't really go out on the street wearing yellow and pink platforms, but hey: I see it on the catwalk and on the street, so I get what is going on. So here are some lovely examples of block colours. Some are catwalk, some are highstreet. Some are affordable, some may be not!

Is it a cake or a cupcake? discuss.

Yesterday I made these cakes for my friend Ronke's birthday. I used this normal cupcake recipe except for the fact that I did not use cupcake baskets, I just buttered the tin.

When they were done. I covered them with dark chocolate and added gorgeous sugar-paper flowers on top. She loved them and so did I. It really didn't take that long.

One frikin' easy bake.

The braid

Jessica Abla with a pretty braided updo

The Loose braid, by Lauren Conrad

Many have been inspired by the Erdem 2011 Spring collection

The braid is a signature look this summer whether your going to a party or a picnic. From the braided updo (demonstrated by Jessica Alba) to the to the loose braid (demonstrated by Lauren Conrad). I do admit, it took me quite some time to figure out how to make a braided updo, as my hair is quite thick. But with this simple tutorial from Teen Vogue (inspired by the gorgeous Erdem Spring collection 2011) I soon mastered it. It has to be right, the guy is a professorial! Try it ladies, you WILL get stunning results.
