Faux Pas

SUMMER ARM CANDY.

Tanned skin, white Chanel and my special Links of London staple pieces.

Colours of the Summer: white, mint green and pastel pink.

BEAUT.

Again, I've not posted on here for months. BUT for good reason. I'm now officially a grown up, have a shiny new graduate job and am making the big move to London. You're now looking at an EXECUTIVE. THAT'S RIGHT! I'm important. Bow down to me.

I do love a good session in the kitchen and seeing as my boyfriend is Irish, I decided to make him some homemade Guinness truffles for St Patrick's Day (good girlfriend).

They are very easy to make. Just melt down some good quality chocolate with some cream and a few glugs of Guinness, wait for it to set, roll them into balls and cover in coco powder and BOOOM, delightful Guinness-y treats.

I made the pot by glueing the beer label onto an old jam jar, tied a piece of black ribbon around the lid and then stuck the beer top onto a toothpick to make a little truffle fork. They went down very well.

February the 14th means Valentines day. Valentines day mean guys have to put in that extra bit of effort and get romantic. We all know guys do NOT like doing this. Especially when forced. So I decided to get creative and make my chap a manbouquet to show how much I appreciate him, without having to get all cringey.

This is the creation in all its splendour....

Manbouquet is complete with boobs, condoms, shot glasses, smints (naughty) and lots of alcohol. All disguised as a romantic bouquet of flowers. Aren't I the cutest!

Over the past few months I have been totally useless at this writing malarky. Having graduated a year ago now and still not having found a job doing something I love, I've had a life crisis and have abandoned the fashion ship. However, I've missed this world so I am back. For how long, who knows, but I return for now.

I've done lots of fun things since January and one of those included my second Future Cinema experience. This time we got to dress up in our finest 1940s attire and head to The Troxy (which was set up as Rick's Cafe) in London for a Casablanca themed evening. We danced to live jazz, mingled with characters from the film and sipped on cocktails all night. It really was as special as it sounds. Think guys with quiffs in white tux's and the ladies in heels, fur and their best frocks. Here's some photos to provide you a tiiiiny glimpse into the fun we had.

Future Cinema is simply the best.

You can be in your favourite film for a night and get lost in whichever era that may be.

Christmas was a time of doing nothing but eating and drinking far too much champagne. Now it's time to sort my life out. It's time to get some motivation and move out, get a job in London and maybe even start running... Wish me luck! For now, here's an update of all my fun and frolics over the Christmas period and a chance for me to show off some of my gorgeous gifts.
