Check me out stealing Little Winter's outfit spot! The lovely Katy took these for me at the weekend before we headed out for a spot of lunch. I love her cute little cottage in the background, it makes a great backdrop not like my usual back garden/patio ensemble!

Anyway, back to the outfit. This 'celine' tee is from SheInside which annoyingly I can't find now (if you see it on the site could you please let me know so I can update the link).

Also in this outfit are my new moccasin style shoes from Brakeburn - a company I hadn't heard of before but have since found out they only launched their website a couple of months ago which is pretty impressive as they already have a good following. I love being contacted by brands like this that are starting out and that you really want to help in someway. Hopefully my blog can do so.

Finally... I'm getting a little addicted to these Sinful Colors nail polishes! I'm tempted to buy the entire rack from Boots, I want every colour!!

Vegetable Fritter

To feed 4 people

Ingredients: 1 red onion, 1 leek, 1 red pepper, 1 shredded carrot, 220g plain flour, 2tsp baking powder, 1tsp salt, 1tsp paprika, 2tbsp cider vinegar mixed with half a pint of soya milk.

This is to make vegan vegetable fritters!

Firstly mix all of the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, salt and paprika) and then add the wet ingredients slowly and whisk together until you get the desired pancake thickness. Slightly thicker than normal batter! 

Put all of the chopped vegetables (you can choose different ones to what we used of course) into a large wok and cook until soft. 

Lightly grease a frying pan and pour a little bit of the batter in, before dumping a spoonful of vegetables on the top and then sealing with another lot of batter so that the batter covers the vegetables. Fry until the edges have gone crispy and then flip to cook the other side. 

Serve with salad!

Waiting All Night

Dress: Lashes of London (sale)

Boots: So You Shoes*

Nails: Sinful Colors 'Innocent' and Nubar black polka dot

I wore this outfit out last weekend for a night out with lots of my old uni friends. I picked this dress up in the Lashes of London sale after seeing it on Frassy. It was reduced down to just £16 and I really couldn't not buy it. When it arrived it looked really big (it's a size 8) but when I tried it on it was obvious that it was meant to look a little oversized. I really love the pop of lime green to in the collar, it matches my nails!

And hello new shoes!! My trusty pair of chelsea heeled boots have come to the end of their days so when So You Shoes got in touch I had to order another pair. These ones are studded all over with small gold ball studs and they're so comfortable. I've had shoes from So You Shoes before and they've always been lovely. These are priced at £35 which I don't think is too bad either. Have you ordered anything from them before?

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I travelled up to north a little to see my lovely Katy again this weekend :)

Gingerbread men & women

Makes lots!! Although we did use mini cutters

Ingredients: 12oz plain flour, 1tsp bicarbonate of soda, 1tsp ground ginger, half a tsp of cinnamon, 4 soy butter, 6oz light brown sugar, 6tbsp golden syrup (and some soya milk to bind)

Gingerbread tastes sooo good and is so easy to make! Why wouldn't you?! This is a vegan recipe again as my lovely house mate is vegan so it just makes sense :)

Firstly heat the oven to 190 degrees.  Sift the flour, bicarb, ginger and cinnamon and then rub in the butter so that it resembles bread crumbs. Then stir in the sugar and add the golden syrup. If your mixture is not forming a dough you can add some soya milk until you have a good giant dough ball!!

Roll the mixture on to a lightly floured surface and cut out your shapes. We chose these mini man and woman cutters so the mixture made loads but if you used a large gingerbread man it would be far less. Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 10-12mins.
