Baking Cakes

This is how I spent yesterday! I baked some cakes for my boyfriend who was feeling a bit ill! I made a little box to put them in. They were chocolate chip and I used a recipe from one of my new recipe books.

I tried to find a new location in my house where I could take pictures of what I was wearing that wasn’t in the garden! So…welcome to my living room! I’m wearing a brand new caridgan from Topshop, and new grey wool tights (like I used to wear when I was small!). The skirt is from Topshop too – I spend far too much in that shop! I managed to nab a few bits in the sale so i’ll show you them very soon.

My hair was sort of channeling a ‘Blair Waldorf’ look. Not something that was intentional – i’ve never watched Gossip Girl – maybe I should start?

i’m making the most of my time off, although I have been asleep for the most part of today! oops! As well as replying to your comments! I want to let you all know that (on the most part) I visit the blog of everyone who comments me, and usually i’ll leave a comment back too, unless your commenting system won’t allow name/url commenters. Just thought i’d let you know! Have a fab evening x

I love Online Shopping!

When I found this shop I spent ages and ages looking through at all of the lovely clothes. The Swedish based shop sells not only beautiful independent designer pieces, but also vintage things too! If I don’t get hold of that Lamilla dress (far left) i’ll go crazy! Time to get saving I think…

At Mint & Vintage you will find a combination of our most beautiful items from our favourite designers and the best vintage finds. We have a mix of mainly French, Swedish and Danish brands. We love them all, but among our favourites are Dagmar, Manush, Maje, Camilla Norrback and Baum und Pferdgarten”

You should check them out here! you might fall in love with one or two (or three!) things too! I’m off to make cakes!
