what the elle

1. new mug from tk maxx, aaah tea! relatively new double ring from urban outfitters - been on the look out for one of those bad boys for ages!
2. argos men's watch (bling!), dotty p's ring, funky buddha
3. and 4. elle overdose

finally got round to reading/gazing adoringly at elle collections last night and it was well worth the £6! planning on choosing my favs of the upcoming season before spring/summer starts, which is pretty soon! also realised i will be in london for fashion week! woooo! exciting stuff! although i will be with my brother, so its more likely that we will be getting lost or mugged rather than hanging out with the celebs and pretending we're part of the cool crowd. ah well.

baking with nat

i have just started my new job in loopy lorna's tea house - edinburgh's finest! (that's correct, finally out of retail - hurrah!) being around cakes and other tasty treats all day is bringing out the baker in me, and on monday i was challenged by my sis to make a pear and blueberry tart! challenge accepted...

challenge complete! result: deliciousness!! couldn't decide whether to accompany it with double cream or creme fraiche so had both! ultimate fatness but oh well! you can find the recipe here (just add some blueberries). i think i would call it a pie rather than a tart, just 'cos the word pie sounds somewhat more comforting!

aaaah! where have i been for the past 3 weeks!! the answer is nowhere, i've just been incredibly lazy and abandoned the blog! also, i've been working quite a lot and been feeling pretty uninspired of late. the weather's not been great either and the monsoon we had last week has left me with swollen tonsils... yes, wet feet= sore throat. anyhoo, just been catching up on the resort trends and one that caught my eye was the cross-over mini bag influx (as seen here at burberry and michael kors); probably because i've been wearing my primark three pounder for like forever now. looks like sevigny and kruger have caught up with me at last!

ok, so mine is slighty different in that the strap is thicker and i can fit more in it than a packet of raisins, but same concept! off to sleep now, hoping for a blog-productive week ahead!!

time to get out the summer shoes i feel! took this outfit shot a wee while ago when i bought the shorts but never actually dared to wear it in the eyes of the public - i don't really do bare legs! more of a tights + shorts kinda gal me. i love tan shoes! hopefully get more use out of these pairs this summer. the wedges are so comfy but they make me about 6 ft tall which means giantess in the company of the small people! maybe i should invest in some tan flats...??
