over a week in photos



Happening upon film sets on a Saturday afternoon walk / Staying at my friends in London / Getting up early in the dark for my internship.. ): / Inconsiderate people on my commute / Being made to do the shopping / Toasting my mums fruit-loaf as a treat! / Doing some research at university and finding my dad's company in a book! / Started a drawing.. that you can barely see (story of my life!) / Trying to photograph the birds on my windowsill.. / My one and only picture of the snow very early yesterday morning! / The ridiculously bright sunshine this morning / A cosy afternoon back home baking and relaxing. 

I've been a bit rubbish with posting this week - since the end of my internship and being thrown back into uni with a bit of a bump, I'm not really coping with balancing everything that well! I need to get back into the swing of things - but until then, have some pictures of things.. I like these kind of posts but I don't really take interesting pictures!

one non-blonde


I don't normally do recipe posts on my blog but I made these last week and my family declared them an overwhelming success, so I thought I would share these! These are by Rachel Allen, and I found the recipe by chance on the Good Food website, and they're SO easy to make. The link above will take you to the website - but I do recommend chucking in an extra egg, because it was a bit of a thick mixture. I also used dark chocolate, because I find white chocolate a bit sickly, but that's just me!
They were really lovely when hot with a bit of ice-cream or cold as a cheeky snack at lunchtime.
(Props for obscure references to songs in my blog-title? Just me? Haha..)

the only boy who could ever teach me

MAC Lipstick in Impassioned

This post is cheating a bit, if I'm honest. These pictures are sort of old - I posted some webcam shots here a few days ago, but I'm super busy this week, and wanted to have something to post this week! So here are a few proper shots of some makeup I did. I really love this lipstick, it's a perfect bright pink without being hot pink or baby pink - neither of which are are good on me! I'm continuing my love affair with Perfection Lumiere here, too..
