A day of baking and creating

 My secret recipe cheeky triple choc chunk brownies. Nom Nom...

 Vintage 1930's apron. The little umbrella pocket is ideal for keeping spoons and other goodies in. Plus it is adorable.

My attempt at doing a hair halo... I ended up looking like heidi. Think my hairs to short. Shame.

I spent my day off being very creative. After a dash to Tesco I came back and set up camp in the kitchen, where I made up a few batches of my secret recipe triple choc brownies. Incredibly gooey, and incredibly moreish. Brownie points for me when I take them over to the Mr. (pun intended). After brownie making i spent the rest of the time doing sketch book and portfolio work for my course. Clothes wise, I know we'v seen this outfit before, but to be honest its comfy and billowy, which is perfect for when I want to dance and spin around the room. I mainly took the snap to show you guys my gorgeous 1930's frilly apron. Its adorable but maybe needs a little TLC to bring it back to its original state. My next project perhaps...

Hope everyones well.

Time to dig into those brownies...

Wow the lightings shocking.

This is what I threw together today. My gorgeous new mustard yellow pencil skirt from asos and my favourite basic grey batwing jumper from H&M. With something so clingy on the bottom, I thought id go for something a tad more forgiving on the top half. Theres nowt worse than skintight all the way down- well on me anyway! i have a normal persons body. Maybe a size 6 with no curves could get away with it.
The new fringe got pushed to the side today as its not sitting well, and when im trying to paint, it just gets in my eyes. Bad times. The standard top knot is back in full force at the moment.
Hope everyone is well. Id love to hear any feedback from you guys! Hopefully il get some more professional shots up soon. Just need to persuade a photographer pal of mine to give up his time and help me out. Watch this space...

My new fringe

So over the last few days iv had a fringe cut back in (again...)
I have a bit of a love affair with "the fringe". Il get one cut in, the get sick of it and grow it out. Then go to the hair dressers and get it cut back in again. Then grow it out again. Its a viscious cycle. I always have issues with how it sits, especially if the weather is being rubbish- the slightest breeze or drop of rain and its looking mental. However, my forehead got lonely so I popped it back in again.
Iv also had the ends bleached like Miss Alexa Chung, but sadly its not overly visible. I think il have to go back and get them lightened up again.
Il try and get a few more photos of the daily clothes. I really am rubbish at keeping on top of things!

Much love

Happy New Year

YAAAAAAAAAAWN, Sleepy me. So its been a while since I last posted as iv had a very busy festive season, not sleeping or relaxing. These photos were taken at the end of today, so forgive the grey complexion and black bags. Never mind. Maybe I should pixellate my face....

This season im going for something completely different than the last. Im thinking biker chic, maxis, preppy and colour blocking.

Yesterday was preppy, with starched white blouse fully buttoned, grey baggy jumper, skinny indigo jeans and fred perry converse. Sadly no picture as I wasnt able to get hold of my camera.

Today was maxi biker. The maxi dress is something iv never been brave enough to try before. Iv always been worried that it would be very unflattering on my figure, but in this one, iv found quite the opposite. Well, until i decide to gorge on a monster bacon roll. This is where the baggy jumper comes in handy. Not only does it keep me super toasty in the blustry streets of Plymouth, it disguises any tell-tale lumps and bulges. I styled this outfit with a necklace I made on my travels in the U.S, a stunning handmade brooch (in the style of a russian doll- which if you know me at all, is my manic obsession), a vintage silk head scarf and rayban glasses, and topped off with my Fenwright Manson quilted biker jackets, biker boots and a heap of kick ass attitude. Its a look I'm-a loving.

What will tomorrow bring??? Who knows..... Id best start planning now.

Much laaaav

Today has been another chilly day. I thought id pull out my favourite leopard print dress (again, Tesco £16!!!) with a little cropped cardi to keep warm, worn with some patent brogues and my new 1940's style felt hat from marks and spencers. I fell in love with the hat as soon as i saw it and snaffled it right up, and will find any excuse to wear it. Iv only got my knitted socks on to keep my tootsies warm around the house. I obviously didnt wear them with the brogues. Planning a night out with the uni girls (and matt) to celebrate the end of the term and xmas time. Tempted to dress up this dress with a black suede waterfall blazer and nude or glittery gold heels. Will try to post the final out fit this evening.

Much love,
Hetti J

Final Assignment Hand In

Today was our final assignment deadline at uni  for 2010 so im now feeling all festive. I went for my red cardi, green sparkly nails and gold sequin shoes to display my xmas cheer. I also fancied my over the knee socks with silk bows on the back rolled down slightly over some nice new tights, which as per usual, now have a huge ladder in. I wore  this all with my new F+F panel bodycon dress from tesco (£16!! bargin!!) and my mums vintage sheepskin coat to keep me nice and snug. I just cant wait for christmas time. As im all done until January with uni, I am now about sit down and start making some pressies and stocking fillers. Time to crack open the mulled wine and mince pies....

Festive love

 I have have been a rubbish blogger for the last week and for that I apologise. I have been super run down with 4 assignment deadlines and snow so there is a valid reason. Today snow hit Plymouth. This of course was directly after I stated loudly in a lecture "Thank god we have no snow like the rest of the UK, what losers!". Typical. Of course I jinxed it. However snow did give me a reason to crack out all my alpine gear with out looking like a moron. With 3 layers of vests and t-shirts followed by a Marksies cashmere poloneck, Fenwright Manson quilted biker coat, thermal leggings, knitted People Tree socks, Topshop stripey bodycon skirt and Sketchers snow boots, I was ready to hit the "slopes" (the ramps from the carpark). I wore this with a black feather hair band made by a friend and a Accesorize necklace to add a touch of glamour to the ensemble. As much as this get-up saved me from freezing limbs out side, I melted as soon as I entered any building. Shame... Fingers crossed the aweful weather goes away sharpish!!!

Best wishes,
Hetti J

(Apologies for the sideways snap, iv been unable to rotate it for some reason...)
