Another week pretty much over, and today marks four weeks exactly since I was discharged.
Here are my outfits from the past two days.

New and oh so cosy knitted jumper dress from NewLook…I might actually live in this.

This creature clearly wanted in on the outfit photo action as he wouldn’t leave me alone

Actually, he rarely leaves me alone, especially if I have a mug of hot vimto in hand.

Current nails:

If you can excuse the messiness. Barry M special effects topcoat over models own 25 carat.
Amaze. It’s the best gold nail polish I’ve found.

Have a fantastic Friday

outfits and music

How is your week going so far? Half way to the weekend! The weather has turned pretty cold since Sunday and I’ve desperately been rooting around for something warm to wear.
So far I’ve rocked a jumper dress with tartan tights, and today my old faithful Zara Harem pants with a cropped faux leather jacket.
Dressing for cold weather is so much harder than when it’s warm don’t you think?

For the second part of this post I want to introduce you to the band Richard Parker

“Richard Parker is a four piece instrumental band from Leeds, united kingdom. we’re currently playing as many shows as we can and constantly working on new material so keep checking back for dates and new music. love.”

Based in Leeds these guys are pretty damn awesome. They are currently gigging a lot and need your support, so if your a Leeds local why not pop along and give them a listen?

Their facebook page gives information of all up-coming gigs as well as further developments from the band, it also links to their tumblr page and myspace account where you can listen to their music yourself.

I’m a fan, I’d love to hear what you guys think though (and I know the chaps would appreciate it too)
I’d love to hear what you think.

Today I’m wearing a brocade detail skirt from new look with a plain black leotard and my new favourite cardigan from Clothing at Tesco.

I spent yesterday getting back in to my jewellery making, my two favourite pieces I made are these,


I have a real thing for anything sweetie related!

UK folks, what did you think of x-factor? I hate to say it, but I have a soft spot for Wagner!

Barry M crackle effect top coat. Amazing. I’ve only tried it on one nail so far but I’m impressed.

Kate Logan beauty products. Kate is amazing. She knows my skin better than I do. To find out more check out her website. I especially recommend the Rose skin tonic.

Nakd cocoa mint bars. One word…heaven! Despite being all natural and raw, they taste like a decadent mint chocolate brownie. YUM.

Herbal teas! These two are my current favourites, although I’m also enjoying Good Earth’s cool mint blend.

Baking! The book is amazing! I love Mary Berry’s recipes, they never go wrong. Yesterday I made her banana loaf, adapting the recipe to add a good mound of cinnamon. As well as the loaf there was enough mixture to make a few cupcake sized ones, of which I enjoyed one with a mug of coffee.
I can’t remember the last time I tasted my own baking, this was a revelation.
