The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Now as you may be aware I'm actually going to see the only and only theater show on the 13th of this month, I am beyond excited! I do kind of have my costume planned out I'm just waiting for my payday and stuffss. Anyway for those who don't know I will be dressing up as Frank, not only my favorite character but I get to wear heels and fishnets (ooo!) and my boyfriend is going as Eddie which is an unusual but wonderful choice. Now Frank is all about his glitz and glamour. His must haves are his shoes and definitely the pearls! Also you need the make up, Frank would be nothing without his bright red lip and huge dark eye make up. However the rest of his costume is ever so easy. I have my own corset I can spray with glitter and I love stockings, he is literally the most perfect character for me, I don't care that I'm female! Eddie is also a very easy to character and especially for my boyfriend. He has ton's of ripped jeans and he can't wait to get his hands on a leather jacket he can rip up and sew patches on to, it's a small dream of his.  I genuinely cannot wait for this show, the full day is just going to be filled with glitter, high heels and ton's of make up. I can't wait to try some make up tutorials myself, I've promised myself to take tons of photos and yes of course I'll write a post after I've been, I couldn't not! Plus I know all the words to every song so it's going to be a fabulous night!

Soap & Glory Heaven Nose

So as a little surprise my boyfriend bought me a Soap & Glory gift set! Now he knows how much I love S&G and I've been raving on and on about the perfume to him so this was a lovely little surprise  I also got the body butter with this set and that is a staple item in my 'after bath' routine as it smells gorgeous and just makes my skin feel aaaamazing!

How cute does this little set look though? The little perfume bottle is even cuter as it has a little catch on the spray bit so it won't push down by accident with a little ribbon attached. The best thing about this perfume is that it smells exactly like the body butter with Soap & Glory's own 'famous scent' which is divine. Now I've only worn the perfume a few times so I haven't really had chance to properly use it but I promise to review this as I can see it being a firm favorite! I know my mum and my boyfriend love the smell of it :)

1 Year | FOTD & OOTD

Yes I know this post is a little late as Valentine's day was on Thursday but I thought I'd save my post for the weekend. So, as well as it being V Day it was also mine and Tom's year anniversary (soppy soppy) which we were super excited for. We didn't go present mad as we're both super skint all the time and all we do is spend our money on food. However he got me some of the most gorgeous gifts ever! 

The bear was hand-made (his mum showed him how) and I love the little paper weight simply because the bear is reading a book!

We had a very relaxed day at home, we made dinner and just couch potato'd all day which was rather lovely. For the evening we went to the cinema to see Die Hard 5 which gave me an excuse to dress up which I took full advantage of (we went out for our meal last week). I also decided to wear my new Kate Moss lipstick which I'm totally in love with! 

Dress - Primark

Bag - Matalan

Coke Cap Necklace - eBay

Jacket - New Look (old)

My shoes were my black Docs but they aren't featured in the photos.

This is one of my favorite dresses and it makes me feel all vintage-y and the bag is wonderful too it can fit all sorts into it! My make up was very basic with Collection 2000 powder. My eye make up was from the Glitter Ball MUA palette and my lipstick is 111 from the Matt collection by Kate Moss.

I hope you all had a wonderful V Day and have an amazing weekend!

Frangipane Tarts!

Yet again I'm blogging about baking so this means I'm staying at Tom's!  It's literally the only time I bake. I know I'm not very fashion/beauty orientated but I haven't had many ideas, sorry! 

We decided on something a little different this time around, we got bored of flapjack so we decided on Frangipanes, which is basically loads of mixture put into a tart base with a load of jam added. They taste absolutely amazing, first time I've ever had them and wow. Fresh out of the oven red hot - nothing better! So here I will tell you what you need to and how to make them :)

What You Will Need

6 small but deep shortcrust pastry cases // 1 egg // 100g ground almonds

100g butter // 90g caster sugar // 1 orange (we didn't add this, we didn't have one)

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract or paste // about half a jar of good quality jam

1 tub of cream (if wanted) to serve
So first we weighed out all of our ingredients and put them all in a bowl together. We the cracked an egg and together with the extract we whisked them together and added it to the mix. While doing this we also set out our pastry cases, (we only had 5 left over from the pack) on a baking tray because we would need them as soon as everything was mixed together.

After everything had been mixed together we spooned a small amount of jam into the bottom of the pastry cases and remember to spread it out evenly.

After this we spooned in a small amount of the mixture onto of the jam in the cases and also smoothed this out carefully. 

We then added more jam onto of this layer and then more of the mix. Now they were ready for the oven! Bake them at 180 for about 18 minutes until they are golden brown.

(Don't worry about the mess on the bottom left, we had left over mixture so we plonked some jam in the middle and well, this happened).

Anyway this was the finished result! They don't look amazing and yes they bubbled over slightly, but they tasted amazing. Especially if they had been left to cool for around 15 minutes yet they were still warm inside and basically melted in your mouth. For anyone who's an avid baker of just likes to try new things I full recommend you make some of these! They are easy and simple and taste amazing.  Also we got the recipe out of Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals :)

What's your favorite to bake? 

And if not, what's your favorite dessert?

It's All About Checkers

Another outfit post for you my lovelies! Now this one isn't all that amazing but I was slightly rushing but I though my outfit was very cute and I wanted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy.

shirt - next // shoes - matalan // watch - one of my mums // jeans - primark 

Yes I know the picture quality is awful and so is the editing but trust me it looks better this way. I'm still really working on my outfit posts, it's really hard considering they only good place to take my photos would be outside but there's nowhere to put my camera because I don't have a tripod (someone recommend one at at good price? :c ) and all I can do is take pictures in my big mirrors and hope that they work out.

Anyway I finally got my little present off my boyfriend for our small anniversary. He got me the Evenstar (if you don't know what that is, it's something kind of important from Lord of the Rings ^.^) It's not amazing movie quality but it's the thought that counts and I certainly wouldn't change this one.

Also I got my nails done yay! Not professionally either, I got them done for freeee. Please bear in mind I have tiny hands which results in small fingers and even smaller nails so the pattern does look a little messy but it's only the first proper go at nail art. 

For my nails I used these colors

red - collection 2000 // black - maybelline NY // dark blue - george

turquoise - miss sporty // yellow - miss sporty

Best thing is I didn't even have to do them, I feel like a really poor excuse of a girl admitting this but my boyfriend did them. He has a really steady hand (he paints war hammer ugh!) and kind of well offered to do them for me because he said they'll look really pretty and so he did.

Here's a question for all you readers, would you let your other half paint your nails? And if not why?

Anniversary time!

So yesterday was mine and my boyfriends 6 month anniversary (I know it's not a huuuge milestone but for people my age it is) and I used it as an excuse to be girly so I could put on a dress with make up and wear heels. Which I did! :) We celebrated by going and getting something to eat so I can do a outfit post! :)

make up I used

MUA pressed powder - shade 1 // collection 2000 felt liner

sexy motherpucker S&G lip gloss // collection 2000 big fake lashes mascara

yay a dress and heels!

shoes - new look // dress - primark

necklace (one of my faves) - primark // ring - also primark

Okay so it's not one of my best outfit posts but I adore the dress and jewlerly that I had on it went all so nicely together and it's so cute! I had a lovely night as well, we ordered in take away and bought ice cream and sat together and ate. Sounds sucky but it was really lovely, it's just a shame my present didn't come :(

Tea time!

I'm sorry for the smallest post ever, filled with rubbish pictures taken with my phone but it was a special night for me that I wanted to share with you all because I'm so happy yay. I'll go back to posting properly a little later :)

Payday!

Yes it was payday for some people today, but not me, saddening I know. I may have a paper round but it doesn't come with a proper paycheck, boohoo. However it was my boyfriends pay day today and well he thought he'd treat me =^.^= It was his second but the first one he got to enjoy fully seeing as the first one he owed most of it out, anyway on to the pictures of all my lovely goodies.

1. Okay so I didn't get this wallet or the Mario one I also adored, but I think next time I'll just have to get it although it's £7 :(

2 & 3. Is my amazingly cute build a bear which Tom bought me for £9 eep which I called Pumpkin :-)

4. My Mum gave me the money for this and some jeans I bought which is gorgeous - Primark £17.

5. At first I thought this was a dress but it turned out to be a playsuit which I still adore - Chinese Laundry £5.

6. Last but certainly not least is my gorgeous sailor dress which I have lusted after for the last few months which Tom finally bought me! I don't think I could of wanted for anything more then this. Most prized dress ever - Chinese Laundry £25.

We also went to Krispy Kreme and tried out two more different flavors of doughnuts (tradition ^.^) and we also just chilled around town for a while. But my most favorite part of the day was that tom bought me a gorgeous 12mm wooden plug which I'm just in love with, it's gorgeous. Oh and the fact Tom was also pricing up some piercings today, we was going for tattoos too because I wanted to price mine up but we didn't have time. So I think next pay check he's going to get them done, eek I'm excited.

Anyway I now have to pack as I'm going camping till Thursday which means no more blogging, bummer :c
