Simple?

Okay I am such a crappy blogger  it's really untrue and also I have no excuse this time (except for dawdling and procrastinating) for MORE than a MONTHS absence! Terrible I hear you say, well err yeah, pretty much. Well nothing to do now but on with the post .  .  .

Yesterday I took these pictures some of my favorite outfits that I have worn over the spring half term and all the books I have been reading lately annnnnnd the music that has sort of made my holidays .  .  .

                                       from top to bottom; walls notebook (okay not actually a book but),
                                       sock and glove by Miyako Kanamori, The Book Thief by Markus 
                                        Zusak, Italian Vogue may 2011 (for good measure), 50 Designers 
                                      You Should Know by Simone Werle, Harry Potter and the Deathly 
                                       Hallows by J.K. Rowling and A History of Couture (dunno who it's
                                       by.)

                                                          I'm sitting on a big stack of vogue's from the 
                                                          early 80's and late 70's 

                                                     Yeah you can just ignore my weird posture 

                                                         I actually didn't realise how grumpy I look in 
                                                         all of these hehe 

                                              ooh close up

                                                    I didn't know that her face looked like it was mine

                                               The pictures next to me are of my mum in a mock-up of
                                                Tatler but I don't know who the other one is of (this is 
                                               when I get a load of comments like, "omg, how could you 
                                                not know who so and so, she is the most influential women of
                                              the 2oth  century !?) 

                                                            I just wanted to add this in (vintage tatler)

                                                                 yep,  I'm the crazy dog lady that lives

                                                                 in the old secluded mansion at the end 

                                                                              of your street

                                                            the big stack of vintage vogues

                                                                  

you couldn't actually see this but it was there it's 

from the gift shop at the passport place in russia

 how many pictures of these shoes do I need 

(apparently a lot)

I doodled in the walls note book

(the G-star raw adverts look much better now)

                                               I was too proud of the hand I drew

                                                         Sorry I just really wanted to do this with 
                                                         the woody allen autobiography

                                                The costumes in this video are absolutely amazing

                                                    

                                            you can actually buy this song on itunes 
                                            and there is tons of him doing this live but 
                                           this was the only one with sound quality

                                          it was made in the 1960's and I'm not even
                                          sure if they had color T.V then 

          

                                        so these are all pretty happy songs, but now it gets a bit
                                                     rocky/gothy/puncky (don't know what the correct 'term' 
                                                     is really)

                                                       this was the best quality I could get . . . sorry

yep so that was exhausting and if you've read this far then thanks oh yeah and also does anyone know how to get up music without having to get a video from youtube because this took forever,
hope you all enjoy the rest of your week 
oh and I almost forgot .     .     .

Flashes of Style

Hello all, sorry about another filler that I am doing and promise that I'll get straight back to outfit posts after this, since I like them the most.
Well I have been hearing about this blog flashes of style for ages now and finally decided to check it and decided that it is one of my new favorite blogs along side the likes of style rookie and style bubble (note: should of called my blog something with 'style' in the title since it's worked out so well for them.)
Bonnie Barton is the author/ founder/ whatever you want to call it and she has the most gorgeous style ever I think.
It is very preppy and stylish and vintage all at the same time and like me we also share a love for big chunky wedges.
Her blog is a really easy read as well.
The only downside is that she doesn't have a blog archive, and if she doesn't I haven't found it yet, and I always love looking right at their very first posts and reading upwards ( I know weird right?)

Cecilia Cassini?

I recently discovered the amazingly annoying American tween that IS Cecilia Cassini, and i just wanted to know what you thought of her, love or hate? 
I personally hate her and it's not just because that I might just be a little bit jealous of her, it's because she is just so damn annoying!
She's obviously talented and good at what she does but doesn't she just get on your nerves?
So please before you make your mind up about her take a look at this clip .   .    .   .

Well?  Isn't she just too cliche?
Isn't she just the younger version of the annoying American attention seeker/ show off in EVERY chick- flick film ?!
Isn't she the mean girl in the making Regina George (Rachel McAdams?)
Please comment and tell me your views on her xx

Little Girls

WOW! This must be the like fifth new years resolution that I have broken, sorry about that, oh well i won't bore you with my apologies, so lets carry on . . . Recently I realized something . . . I'm just a little kid. I know, it"s not that great of an epiphany but when i had it I was dancing in a fancy night club in a gorgeous yet ridiculous dress and high heeled wedges that doubled my size (before you panic I was at someones bah mitzvah.) Well any way I was sat there feeling oh so grown-up, and then someone passed out in the bath room, from too much drink, and suddenly I felt little, with my cup of juice in hand, stuffing down a million slices of tiny  heaven (a.k.a a mini cupcake.) So I feel like enhancing my epiphany of a little girl and have dug out my old tutu from my mile deep dressing up box and have paired it with some wacky yet totally cool clothes that wouldn't go if I wasn't wearing a tutu over the top. so here it is  .   .   .    .   .

                                                                    the flower headband was homemade xx

                                             the Paris is actually my little brothers but I have adopted it as my own

                                              the one problem being that he doesn't know it yet :D It is from Paris

                                               as well but I cannot tell you where in Paris as I was stuck at home 

                                               when my mum went! :( I found the cute Indian looking brooch on

                                                   the floor in the school corridor, finders keepers losers weepers! 

                                                        I look silly and unintentionally pouty, if I'm quite honest!

                                                               Let me introduce you to my cute little models! 

                                                      Yes in true little girl style I have actually dressed up my pets!

                                              This is Johnny Jumble, or JJ for short, sporting some fashionable 
                                                                   cat ears from A LOT of Halloween's ago.

                                                          And this is Mr. Oll or Olly, do you like his party trick? 
                                                           We see here that Mr. Oll has a pair of unusual fairy 
                                                         wings from my dressing up box ( we weren't normal kids
                                                         and didn't have many fairy wings, these where the only ones        I could find) and this lovely tiara, that's half broke, 
                                                                    was from a panto that I went to see xx     

                                                                The wand is from the same panto as the tiara and 
                                                                           everything else is the same .   .    .    .     .    .

                                                            Me wearing the wings ( I would have worn them for all

                                                          the pics but they are made for like 5 year olds . . . MAX! 

                                                                          And because of this they really rub!)

                                                             These are the shoes I have been wearing the whole 

                                                        time, you just couldn't see them well, they are from the

                                                               bottomless pit that is my dressing up box! But I  

                                                              think that they where originally my aunties.                             

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                               

 

                               

                                                              

                                               us three looking completely board in my new bow.

                                                                bow in close up 

                                                   (okay I've run out of things to say so I'm just stating the obvious)

My First Cooking Post . . .

Today was my Uncles Birthday (happy birthday uncle chris xx! :) Well anyway we where going to make a birthday cake for him but in the end we decided on strudel instead. 

It is an apple strudel and it's really easy to make, all you need is . . .

1. filo or puff pastry    

2. two apples

3. raisins

4. chocolate

5. cinnamon

6. two crunchy biscuits

7. sugar (no particular type)

8. a baking tray

9. butter

10. a tea towel or bit of cloth bigger than your sheets of pastry put together . . .

1.  Role your pastry out on a board until its very thin and in the rough shape of a rectangle, then place it on   your tea towel ( if you have sheets of pastry lay them out onto the tea towel in a rectangle.)

2. melt a little bit of butter in a pan then spread it on your pastry (sorry I can't be more specific.)

3. sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the pastry.

4. grate the apple in a bowl and smash up the biscuits mix it in a bowl with the raisins using your hands then sprinkle over the pastry. 

5. break the chocolate up into squares the line it up on one of the short sides of the rectangle.

6. role up the pastry starting from the end with the chocolate. An easy way to role is to pull the tea towel up slowly so the pastry rolls up.

7.  to bake put on the baking tray on the middle shelf and on a fan oven turn to 180 c for 30 to 40 minuets ( I can't tell you it in fahrenheit but I'm sure you can google it!)  

Serve how you want . . .

The good thing about this recipe is that you can change what you want in the filling and make your own version of it. For a christmassy one just add about 400 g's of old christmas cake or pudding xxx
