This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something

The six elements of her Fail Proof Broken-Heart Curing Treatment: Vitamin E, get much sleep, drink much water, travel to a place far away from the person you loved, meditate and teach your heart that this is destiny

Groceries, you need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select what clothes you're gonna wear every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. Drop everything else but that. Because if you can't learn to master your thinking, you're in deep trouble forever

Baroque

The Baroque is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, and music. The style started around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe. Wikipedia

Trendette; Parma Violet

 

One of my ultimate fave lipsticks is Nars 'Roman Holiday' and this is the perfect colour to adopt this fab mini trend. Also loving the new Revlon 'Just Bitten' lip stains, wear shade 010 'Darling Cherie' for a gorgeous lilac pout.

KEEP CALM AND...

..HAVE COCKTAILS! These were excitable pre-Mystery Jets drinks. Saw them in Brixton and they were so awesome and actually can't stop listening to Radlands now, reminiscing. 'Someone Purer' was emosh live. Think that was my fave.

So looking forward to jubilee celebrations that are coming up..I'm having a pre-jubilee party to celebrate me moving into my new place and then for the actual jubilee weekend I will be joining the street party at The Book Club, Old st. Of course another excuse to bake..x

My gorgeous ex house-mate used to call my brownies 'sex brownies' because they are just that good! so here is the ultimate sex brownie recipe; with an added later of cookie dough and oreo's! Warning, have in small chunks..its totally calorific..enjoy!..x

Collect all ingredients, if you do not want to do the cookie mix and brownie mix from scratch then can buy ready made. See links for recipes below.

Make cookie dough and press into a greaseproof tin.

Add a layer of Oreo's..

Make up brownie mix and add chocolate chunks if desired!

Spread the brownie mix over the cookie layer + Oreo's.
leave to cool and then cut into chunks..

Happy Birthday to Moi.x

It was my 25th birthday this week and I did lots of things to celebrate, you have already seen I went to the amazing Ritz, which really was amazing. This week has been super crazy, went to see Olly Murs in Brighton (nice bit of eye candy for the bday girl), had a girls night out, sushi and wine with my Fashionista, dinner with the fam and so many awesome gifts. Mama always does the cutest breakfasts, this year my fave, bucks fizz with strawberry's and bagels with scrambled egg + smocked salmon mmmmm. I love it that my birthday falls in the same week as valentine's as there's always heart gifts filling the shops including cupcakes yummm. I got Gino's cook book (swoon), Scallop vests from Topshop, underwear, SATC box set, a watch, handmade Jewellery, Before Sunrise double dvd, clothes, soap and glory stuff and Mac Make up! talk about being spoilt!
