Outfit wise, I opted for casual again today as I am indulging in some quality relaxation time before work tomorrow…

I always forget that this top has fabulous draping detail down the sides, in fact, until the other day I had forgotten I owned this top…please tell me I’m not the only one who does this?!

Thank you for the fabulous feedback on the cakes, they were a complete success and I have a feeling I’m going to be doing more in the future.

Have a great end of the week xxx

Hello, mid-week again. I still feel like it’s Monday. I hope things are going well so far and no-one is feeling sad.

This post contains my outfits from yesterday and today as well as the baking I mentioned in my last post.

The dress I’m wearing here has fast become my favourite for its softness and warmth and pretty lace detailing. I only blogged it a couple of weeks ago, when it was brand new but love it enough to post it again 😉

Today my outfit was more about comfort and practicality for being in the kitchen all morning, so jeans were slung on with a pretty top to make it more feminine.

And what did I bake?
Well last week my Mum came home from work with a request from one of her colleagues who has her birthday tomorrow.
She wanted 2 plain cakes, decorated as I wished, as she had become a big fan of the stuff I send in for the staff (recent favourite is flapjack)

So, plain cakes it was

A decoration wise?
I have some Cath Kidston writing paper and one sheet is pink with white stars, I love it and thought it’d be a nice concept for a cake…so…

What the photos dont capture, is that I used edible glitter mixed with liquid glucose to make the stars sparkle. It is such a pretty effect but was really simple to achieve.

I’m off now to rest my aching arms. Tis the only downside to baking everything from scratch!

So,
thank you for both the Valentine wishes and positive thoughts for today. Appointment is over and done with, much thinking to be done but I’m glad this part is over.

Welcome to a new week! I cannot (and almost refuse to) believe it is mid-feb already.

Outfit wise today, I opted for something comfortable. Ignore the puffed out hair, I fixed that after.
Also dis-regard the miserable face, with only a couple of hours sleep it is little wonder!

I remembered to put jewellery on for once, including rings. I really need more chunky rings in my life.

The heart one is from Primark, and the silver one is from a local independant shop.

I also wanted to share my pretty new bed spread, just because I can

What are your plans for this week? A fairly quiet one here; the only solid plan I have is a baking day on Wednesday.

Flash (and myself, of course) would like to wish you a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Whatever you do, indulge yourself.
I’m little miss always single, and really…seeing other people loved up and happy doesn’t fill me with envy, or resentment…just happiness for them, and knowledge that one day I will meet the right person;

and until then, I’m best off single!

My day will consist of the Sunday usual; coffee and gossip with Trudi, browsing the Internet and doing some studying.
I’ve made little treat bags for my family and some special friends just to say “I love you” and that is as far as the soppy stuff goes here.

What are your plans?

And, on a selfish note, could people please send me some “good luck” vibes for tomorrow. I have a big appointment that I’m really nervous about.

Wow, well thank you for the lovely comments on my hair. Seriously!
Just a quick post today as I am freezing cold having just got in from an appointment, and I really ought to be doing some course work this morning so I can catch up with everyone’s blogs later 😉

Yesterday I wore

and today I am wearing this, plus a couple of cardigans. Trying to get a picture early in the morning doesn’t really work in terms of lighting hence there only being one, and it being a bit dodgy!

I’m deeply saddened by the news of Alexander McQueen’s death; although I don’t have much to say on the matter, especially when other bloggers have said what I’d like to in a far better way than anything I could come up with.
I just hope he is at peace now.
