High Street Fashion Fun this LFW


With the crazy, adventurous appearances coming out of the ever great London Fashion Week at the moment, I thought it only just to share some simple high street options with you on my blog this coming week. Starting with a very simple tourist in my home town look.

One of my new favourite shops of the moment has to be American Eagle Outfitters. I am so elated the brave Eagle has finally landed in the UK, after years of online ordering and forever waiting, like a puppy by the letter box in anticipation of the morning papers. We can now visit one of its many UK locations to purchase some wonderful layers and incredibly comfy jeans.

I now have two pairs of the high rise jegging, off black and dark navy. I find them the most fitted, engagingly beautiful jeans i own and at £29 i think they are very reasonably priced. They do not fall down, i am not forever flying low when the zip magically decides to undo its self whilst walking and the long are finally long enough for my lengthy pins.

My hat, also an Eagle classic, is a very dark Navy and always keeps my head toasty. Yes it does make your hair flat on occasion but what a small price to pay for the grandeur of this beautiful head cover. Even a lovely barista in the coffee shop commented how charming it looked on me, and wished he could pull off such a hat in a similar way, to which i replied with "I bet you can, everyone loves a hat, try mine on"

Finally onto the camel covering my shoulders, known to normal people as the common coat! This was from Warehouse, a place I do not shop in very often, they tend to do more classical pieces which is great, but i am more of an American/Australian designers fan. A cut i would not normally go for. This oversized find was a real treat and i love the way it flows. The fabric falls softly over any outfit, the jacket works beautifully for evening with a seductive red lip, or for daytime with some nude lip glossiness. Also great for when your having one of those "fat days" it is such a flattering cut for any woman. All in all an outfit great for those cold winters days that seem to still be hanging over us, do not forget layering. I am a huge advocate of a layer. Bring on spring!! Lets brighten the world with some colourful garments to contend with those forever glowing daffodils and such like that make us all smile.

The Tiramisu recipe to end all Tiramisu recipes!!!

My other half, partner in crime, the Robin to my Batman or whatever we like to call each other, absolutely LOVES Tiramisu. Almost as much as I love chocolate, which is an awful lot I can tell you.   With my love of baking and developing new experimental ways of cooking and with Guy always ready and willing to be the food crash test dummy, I get to work creating new and exciting meals, cakes and desserts with every ingredient I can put my hands on. One of the most popular dishes and one to give you a little wake up after an evening meal is the traditional classic, created by my Italian ancestors, Tiramisu. I have added a slight twist to the traditional recipe and you can make this with or without the alcohol. Enjoy! Ingredients. 550ml    Double cream 250g      Mascarpone - (that famous cheese that hides a baby horse i hear you say) ;) 1 tsp      Nutmeg 5 tbsp    Soft brown sugar 1 x        Pack sponge fingers 300ml   Strong coffee (made with 2 x tbsp coffee) or 300ml   Espr

Periods, Tampons and all that other girly downstairs stuff

Throughout the tummy aches, hot water bottles, doses of Feminax tablets and inability to function on occasion. I got to thinking, how much do we really know and understand about our "time of the month", the causes of pain, the things that help with the discomfort and all the inflictions we don't understand or believe in because we simply do not know and are mostly too scared to ask, well below I have tried to explain and help you understand what could be the problem "downstairs" if you catch my drift. Recently I have been reading more and more about young girls developing a terrible illness caused mostly by tampons named TSS or toxic shock syndrome. This sounds highly petrifying and frightfully deadly and in some cases it is. This is simply because we do not understand a lot of its causes and symptoms. Toxic Shock syndrome or TSS is mostly caused by bacterial toxins entering the bloodstream, either through cuts and open wounds or when a foreign object enters

Coconut Oil. What can we actually do with it?

Image
You can cook with it, cleanse, moisturise and tone with it, bake with it, clean with it, put it in your hair, eat it and bath in it. What is this wonder product?? I hear you shout with enjoyment. Well, I would like to introduce to you and familiarise you with natures own, Coconut Oil. Coconut Oil is a natural oil extracted from the flesh of the fruit. It is entirely organic with no added preservatives or specials. It starts as a solid and melts down to an oil at higher temperatures. The best way to get the right consistency is to sit your jar in a bowl of warm water until you have the sufficient amount for your beauty regime. 1) Coconut oil is incredible for moisturising your hair and adding some shine and condition to those dull straw like ends. Simply wash your hair as normal, then apply your oil to the ends of your hair, leave for 5-10 mins rinse throughly and gorgeous sleek locks you shall have. 2) Rub into your warm skin after showering or bathing for a beautiful body mois
