Fred Perry Dress - outfit post.

This is the outfit I wore out to the Prince Charles Cinema when we hit up London. I was treated to this dress by my lovely man from the Fred Perry store in Covent Garden:

So much fun! 
Breton Strip Dress - Fred Perry.
Pentagram necklace - Christmas gift
Turquoise Tibetan Ring - Jimmy and His Girl.
(I have some closer pics of my jewellery but on a different outfit post coming up next week)
  
This Breton Jersey dress is so casual and comfortable! Even though it is so simple I would definitely wear it out to dinner or in this case a mad night at the cinema! I love the fit, length and the roll-sleeves - it's basically perfect!

Hope you all had a great weekend, what did you get upto?

Things I've Loved This Week!

Here are the things I've been lusting over this week:

I am so in love with this Black & Red Dip-Dye Skirt from Fashion Union.
Never a fan of Urban Outfitters prices BUT this gorgeous Native Stripe Tapestry Throw is on sale for the bargainous £22! Somebody tell me to stop looking at homewares!
I've never squealed so much, how awesome would Prince look in this Prince Cat Bed from Pet London?!
This cheeky little T-Shirt from RedRock has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a while now ;)
How beautiful is this Pink Fire Opal ring!
Oval Deer brooch - super cute!
I really super want a Instax Mini 25 - I need to stop looking and wanting all the cameras! 

Also if you follow me on Instagram (username: cowbiscuits) there is a picture up of my tattoo I mentioned in my last post :) Also a picture of Prince playing a mini guitar.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend I'm off back down to Devon to pick up my new car eee!!

Kitty Dress - outfit post.

As I posted in pt1 of my London trip I did a little shopping (or rather got spoilt!) and went into Topshop on Oxford Street. As soon as I saw this dress I squealed so loud and knew it had to be mine!

I love the fit of skater dresses and skirts and I prefer to get them in petite when I can as I'm not top heavy ;)
Kitty Skater Dress - Topshop

I do love a mid-jump photo!

And how could I forget? Happy Valentines Day! I will be spending the main part of mine getting my 10th tattoo (sorry mum!).
Hope you have a wonderful day whatever you end up doing :)

Baileys Cupcakes.

As it's Pancake Day over here in the UK, and I already did THIS post on pancakes a few weeks too early (who says pancakes are for just one day!) I thought I'd show you a delicious cupcake recipe!

The cupcakes in question are made with that sweet treat - Baileys!

Cakes:
40g Unsalted butter.
140g Caster sugar.
100g Plain white flour
20g Cocoa powder
1.5tsp of Baking powder.
1 Free range egg
50ml Baileys
80ml Whole milk.

Icing:
125g Unsalted butter.
500g Icing Sugar
15ml Whole milk
45ml Baileys
Sprinkle cocoa powder.

As you can see mine did NOT turn out like the pics on the recipe but thats because I only used a tiny bit of icing sugar and freaked out at the consistency haha! I won't make that mistake again!

I got the recipe from BakingMad.com where there are tons of cute and super easy ideas to draw inspiration from. They even have a tutorial to show you how to make basic and easy cupcakes.

What are your favourite types of cupcake? I also LOVE Red Velvet!

London Trip pt.1

As I mentioned last week I took a short trip to London. I haven't been in years so I was super excited!

We stayed in Covent Garden and only took the tube once the whole time as we found walking around we found lots of hidden gems to explore. The main reason we were there was to go to the Prince Charles Cinema to watch a film called The Room (the best worst movies ever) with a live Q&A from the director and star. I had SO much fun shouting quotes along with the audience, it's nice to be able to make a racket during a screening ;)

The view from the top of our hotel.
I've been to M&M World in New York so I thought I'd pop into the London one too.
It was FULL of pretty colours and anything you could slam a picture of an M&M on. Out of context it would be so weird but in the shop I loved it all.
How gross is that jacket - so gross I love it. 

We had to stop a Trocadero's for some arcade fun. It's not half as big as it used to be but we slammed the basketball machine twice almost beating the high score!

Necessary shopping! I got 2 dresses - THE Topshop cat face one (see in a picture below) and a Fred Perry. I'll do some outfit posts of them in the next week :)
In China town I totally bought this cake based on the fact its a cat. It was actually so delicious! 

We had dinner at Meat Liquor. The food portions were HUGE. I had a chicken burger and cheese fries - I'm still dreaming of those fries.
Of course you can't go to a place called Meat Liquor and not have cocktails!
The whole place was lit by red lights and played awesome country music, apparently there are usually huge queues but we walked right in!

Photobooth fun & tickets.
We also took a trip to Ripleys Believe it or Not. I've been to the London one before and New York but it never gets old! I just love oddities! Will do a post on that also soon as i took heaps of pictures!


Will post the next part later on this week :)

Hope you are having a good Monday!
