20.12 slacker

Woah, I’m slacking, this is outfit was worn on Friday, although it’s been so cold out it didn’t last long before being covered up with leggings, cardigans and god knows what else.

I’m glad the recipe and photos went down so well, I will try and share what I bake more often,
who actually made them? What did you think? They proved a hit here, so much so, I’ll be making more tomorrow when I do the rest of my Christmas baking. I must dig out my shortbread recipe
a) so I can make it, and b) so I can share it!

Five days to go now, the big day will be over before we can blink! Busy week ahead with last minute preperations and my Mum’s Birthday on Tuesday.

Tonight I’m meeting up with friends to exchange gifts, I’m excited but worried they wont like what I’ve got them!

If only life were this simple eh?

Oh to be a cat!

  2. Is that a bowtie? If so, great accessory! And I’m thinking about getting a cat…it’s a bit lonely in my tiny apartment.

    There’s a lingerie giveaway for a black satin bra, panty, and garter belt set worth $85 happening on my blog right now. You should totally go enter! 🙂

  3. Truly what a great accessory is right, bowties. I would have never thought of doing that!

  4. Hey girl…that outfit is sooooo nice, no need to apologize. Love that skirt and the bow tie and the colors. Perfect in my eyes.

  5. Love what you’re wearing though understand about the layering – I feel like I can’t dress for times when it’s uber cold or uber warm. That said, my denim shorts feature highly for both – Class-mate – “Aren’t those very short shorts given it’s snowing out there?” Me – “I’ve got two pairs of tights on, I am toasty-warm!”.

  6. indeed oh to be a cat I ponder that one all the time 🙂

  7. I love your outfit, especially that skirt! And I’ve also often wondered what it would be like to be my little Lion dog (he’s a Peke) … he rolls around and plays and eats and gets lots of cuddles all day. Sigh!

  8. I love the outfit, especially the bow-tie! 🙂

  9. Flash looks so snuggly and cosy … and you look as pretty as ever!
    Loving the baking posts, very inspiring. Going to attempt the fairings this afternoon!

  10. love this, the skirt is so cute. my sister and I attempted the cookies, much failure abound. Cookies never go well with our family, my mum’s anzac’s fail miserably as well (just realise you’ll have no clue what anzacs are but can’t be bothered to delete that)… So yes, ours went quite flat, not sure if we should’ve took them out earlier or left them in longer. I think longer… curious.

  11. I don’t think your friends won’t like what you got them! impossible :))
    this outfit is so pretty.
    have a sweet day, darling Laura!

  12. Sweet black and white outfit! I really like the bow tie!! I’ve wanted one for so long:)

    Can’t believe Christmas is in 5 days! Buying gifts are somewhat pressurising, I really want the person I’m buying for to like the gift too!
