This was for my friend Hattie's sleepover, with the girls. I wanted something comfy as so much eating and lounging around happens. Within the first hour I managed to spill spicy tomato sauce over my t-shirt - clever!
I've missed not wearing socks or tights with pumps - I forget I have a tattoo in winter months!

PS: My only new years resolution this year was to learn to bake properly (inspired by my friend Michael's blog - Me, My Food & I and the lovely Claire at French For Cupcake). And so, I made these fabulous cupcakes the other day! I'm not even a cake person usually (I prefer things like cookies or ice cream for dessert), but these are so rich and chocolate-y I'm now converted:
They're a start, anyway!

ReplyDeletenealo
Yeah I love it, it goes with loads of outfits!
ReplyDeleteGood old grunge - my grunge phase when i was about 14 involved not washing and wearing a lot of men's clothes. oh dear, heh.
CARLA! I saw these and thought of your recent baking expedition: http://bittersweetsugarandsarcasm.blogspot.com/2010/01/breakup-cake-1-cure-for-broken-heart.html
ReplyDeleteI know it's not proper baking...but how lush does that sound, just to wab it all in the microwave and then have a mug of hot awesome at the end?
Mmmmmm...
Oh and I love your gold shoesies. XD
awww cheers - i've seen a couple of 'cake in a mug' recipes but they can be a pretty odd texture apparently! i will give it a go one of these days though :)
ReplyDeletethanks, i do too. they're so comfy and make me feel like i'm in a musical :DD
I have your sunglasses in white :D inspired by http://www.leander-online.com/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/m_dress_rehearsal01.jpg
ReplyDeletewheeey! it was actually a disgrace how much places like topshop and american apparel were selling them for like, during the summer!
ReplyDeleteso cute. i like that first top- is that courtney love? you got style girl!
ReplyDeleteit sure it - she's one of my heroes, i just love her! thank you so much :) xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely! Topman often has really nice t-shirts! And those cakes look yummy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know - unlike most men's t-shirts the arms are cute shorter so they could pass for girl's t-shirts. It's one of my favourite t-shirts ever, I love Courtney! <33
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes look very pretty and delicious x
ReplyDeleteThey were, thank you! I'll have to get round to posting more of my baking adventures on here...
