Red is vibrant and full of life, it is the colour of blood, cherries and rubies. A scarlet clad woman is alluring and exudes confidence. It’s not a colour for the shy and whoever wears it doesn’t go unnoticed.
In this outfit, it is combined with navy, so it’s only seen in small accents but still, no less important. Details: Dress – Kling, Headscarf – New Look, Tights – H&M, Shoes – Irregular Choice
I’m joining Sacramento, Rosy and Peggy Sue for the#bloggershareinstyle link party, won’t you join us there too?
During my latest visit to Sheffield, where I met the amazing blogger gals, we visited Loulou’s Vintage Market and purchased three dresses. As a few people demanded to see them and I do as I am told, here they are.
Dress – Vintage 60’s, Tights – Kohls (cost me a fortune: 80 cents of a dollar), Feminist brooch – Hannah Zakari, Shoes – Irregular Choice (via Ebay)
Dress: Vintage, Cardigan – Zara, Tights – forget the name, got them from TK Maxx, Shoes – Irregular Choice (via Ebay)
Dress – Vintage, Tights – don’t remember anymore, Jacket – French Navy surplus (from some shop in Camden back in the 90’s, when my love affair with sailor collars and all things nautical started), Shoes – Pink Bitches by Irregular Choice (via Ebay)
And of course, I have to ask: which one is your favourite?
It was Eurovision night and me and my friends were planning a party. Perfect opportunity to have a good laugh baking and decorating the perfect house husband for us. We were definitely up for some good cheeky fun!
So, I dressed up for the occasion – I have to feel fabulous no matter the occasion! – got the ingredients ready and set out to do some baking for the big Eurovision night. To keep things simple and make sure things went well, I used the recipe on the back of the cookie cutter package.
Ingredients you will need for the cookies:
180 gr butter
100 gr sugar
300 gr flour
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Instructions:
Measure all the ingredients and mix them in a bowl. Start with the butter and the sugar, follow up with the flour. When it’s all well mixed, add the salt and the vanilla extract. Wrap the dough in cling film and throw it in the fridge for an hour. Once an hour has passed, rescue it and roll it between 2 sheets of greased paper. Apply the cookie cutter to the dough as you can see in the picture:
Once you have a baking tray full of them, heat up the oven to 180 degrees and put them in there for 7-10 minutes. As they are oddly shaped, it might be difficult to bake them all at once.
Here they are, all nice and golden, ready to be decorated into the perfect men.
We got a bunch of decorating supplies and got to work! Filipa is looking very concentrated.
And here’s the end result: a guy for every taste. Some beach bums, a naked bear, a Portuguese hunk, some S&M gay dudes and the fellow from the Specials.
NOM!
I received the cookie cutter as a sample, if you want to get your own, you can find it here.
Another set of photos of an outfit I wore to work recently – another inappropriate look for the office, I would say.. David kindly took these, again on our walk back into town. Every time I wear this dress I feel like my boobs are looking at people. Funny feeling, that is.
I also did some experimenting with the photo editing on Photoshop, what do you guys think?
Happy middle of the week AKA Wednesday. In my case, Wednesday must be the new Friday as I am having Thursday and Friday off. As next Monday is a bank holiday, hello super long weekend!
Today I have an outfit to show you. My friend David took these photos the other week when he was visiting and I think they look pretty good. I’m wearing one of my favourite colour combos – red and blue. The boots don’t get enough wear for their awesomeness. They’re like the boots a glam rock super hero would wear, don’t you think?
