sorry its been so long, i'm on holliday atm. Busy eating lots of turkey, mince pies and lots n lots of rum butter :) i took sum pictures at the beach today, i'll try and work out how to post them on from my phone, maybe not possible xxx

YUM!

Today i thought that i would attempt to redeem myself from yesterdays disaster. I made some little chocolate cupcakes, only i burnt them a bit and they tasted a little of baking powder, not very nice. So i decided to make some nicer ones today.

This is my recipe, although i may make some more in the next few weeks and make it better, but they were quite nice.

Enjoy...

Ingredients ->

6oz self raising flour (but a couple more will be needed to be added)
1.2(ish) teaspoons of baking powder
5oz of caster sugar
6oz of margerine
two or three table spoons of syrup (more could be added i think)
A dash of milk
Two eggs (large)
Almost three teaspoons of cinnamon
About half a teaspoon of vanilla paste

1. Put the syrup into a pan and put under a verrrrrry low heat while you mix together the: flour, sugar, baking powder, and margerine. Then add the syrup in, and mix altogether. Your mixture should be a thin (for dough) but doughy mixture.

2. Add in your eggs. Here the mixture becomes very liquidy and thin, so add in another couple of desert spoons of flour (i would estimate 1 1/2 to 2oz) until it starts to be a consistancy more like cake mix. Then add in your cinnamon and vanill apaste till it tastes good.

3. Spoon into paper cases. I managed to get 23 (in standared cases) don't fill them up too hight, a little under halfway is just fine.

4. Put in the oven at 150 degree's (but i have a fan oven so maybe 170 for other ovens? dont quote me on that) check on them in 15 mins, but they will need closer to 20, check to see if theyre nice and springy, (push them in gently and the top should bounce back nicely)

good luck!

I will possibly put up what i did for my icing, and maybe pictures in the next couple days, but its late right now and i should be washing up really. If you have any suggestions i would be happy to hear them :)

Catwalk: Miu Miu RTW S/S 10

It's a little late to be posting on the spring/summer collections, but i thought that i would start.

-Also is a good oppertunity for me to catalogue all my faveourites-
I love Miu Miu and this is a beautifull collection, the prints are the highlight, with the swallows and sweet cats, appearing everywhere. Sweet pastel, pale and nude tones, with a deeper red, navy and black appearing. And the detail on some pieces is beautiful, with all the crystals featured and the folds of fabric. enjoy!

Some of my faveourites from the collection...

Stunning aren't they. The colous fabric and crystals are super cute! I would love a pair of these.

This is i think my faveourite from the collection. The details on the collar and sleeves are just perfect, and the gorgeous pattern of the crystals is just amazing! Gorgeous!

Meme

I got my weekly from Fashion Served and i don't usually look through the industrial design section, - i stick to fashion and photography - but i thought i would have a look, and i found the sweetest things ever...Meme's! they are super adorable!! Over long distance you can give one to a loved one, and then remotley controll it to give the loved one some emotion! A really sweet idea, and they just look adorable! I can't work out how to buy one, but i'll have a better look later. (if i find something i will post it up) xxx

Early December.

These are some pics my sister took for me yesterday. I haven't posted on here for months but will post more regularly soon! promise x...

life without a camera

for more than a week now i haven't had a camera. mine is currently broken :(. i was taking pictures with it on a tripod, on a surface and it fell off! everything works just fine except the shutter button is pressed into the zoom button, so it wont take any pictures, unless i press very very hard (too hard to keep the angle of the picture that i want)
i miss my camera, its awful not being able to take pictures, i really hope it can be fixed, and soon.

My sunday

Last sunday, i didn't do much, took a few pictures for lookbook..

my sister also took some pictures of me with my cat..

My saturday

At the weekend i did quite a lot of walking.

on saturday, i went out with friends to have a picnic. we didn't make jam sandwiches, fruit salads or strawberries, we went to tescos, but it was very nice. saturday was also ridiculously hot so lots of food melted, and quite a bit we didn't eat. we did a lot of walking tho. we decided to find an old ruin of a house that was in a field, only when we got there, it was covered in grass and ivy, and there was only the edge of a wall too see. in the end we walked over seven miles, our feet killed, we must have used about twenty plasters between the three of us, but it was lovely. there were some massive ducks...

a beautiful sunday

last sunday, my sister and i went down to the river and took a lot of pics. i need to do this more but i have little time due to exams, but they're nearly over which means i will have lots of time. this also means i can write more in my blog, the last entry was in october last year!

In the pictures, im wearing; topshop jeans, primark shoes, h&m striped top, and the blouse was my mums in the seventies. more are on here: http://vraiemily.deviantart.com/
