The New Clarks Flats

There was a Clarks ad in my stylist yesterday and I think it was love at first sight, shocking right?! It's Clarks! It was of cream brogues with cut outs along the side, they are totally summer in a shoe. So I've checked out their new in section and they have some incredible flats right now. See below.

The Mindy Project!

When The Mindy Project first started showing in England I didn't give it much of a chance I already had Breaking Bad and Grey's Anatomy and New Girl I didn't need another but I caught it a couple times on the weekends and now I am hooked! I love the sense of humour, I love Mindy Kaling the female lead, I love her outfits, I love all the random dates and weirdness that goes on in the office. And... stop reading now if you haven't watched all the ones that have aired in America.

Mindy and Danny finally kissed!!! I love those moments that make you gasp and squeak at the same time and this was definitely one of them, he totally went for it! I still wish they had drawn out the break up with Casey a bit, it didn't make any sense to me she broke up with him over wanting to change career again even though she went to Haiti for him and was about to get married to him but whatever her and Danny are much more fun to watch. Now I just have to wait till April 1st to see if they are going to try and be something or if they are going to be written away and she is going back with Cliff. The suspense!

Royal Opera House Big Screen Events

The Royal Opera House Big Screen Events are back! I don't think they have chosen the best dates but the May and July ones should have okay weather. They are a great way to have a bit of a ballet or opera taster to see what you think. Its also great because you don't have to stay for the whole thing and can leave whenever you want. Its free so if you are nearby you should definitely pop along. Find out more here.

Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Cupcakes

I love peanut butter and try and add it into recipes all the time but it always takes over every other flavour so this time I fully committed and found a meant for peanut butter recipe, peanut butter cupcakes!

I used a recipe from Bake Then Eat and then I thought why not make them into a sort of Reece’s cup cupcake so I was going to smother them in caramel and cover that with milk chocolate but I got told to step away from the cupcakes before I could add the chocolate, apparently it would be to fatty blah, blah, blah but they are seriously tasty even without chocolate!

I used the caramel method from this recipe (I have also done this whole recipe before and it is delicious too), I would recommend bubbling for a little longer, maybe 2 minutes more than it says just to make it a bit thicker and I definitely used more than ½ a teaspoon of salt but I do like my food salty so taste as you add.

I had got out all my ingredients and then discovered that my scales weren’t working so it was very lucky there was a cup conversion but my measurements were still probably a little off. For the peanut butter addition I estimated and then went by taste and it tastes fantastic with dark brown sugar. I think I could have done with a bit more butter or milk because mine came out a little dry but they had a lovely crispy top and they are quite a bit smaller than the ones in the blog so maybe that dried them out but they only needed 12 minutes in the oven!

They got an easy thumbs up from us and if you like peanut butter this one is for you and I bet it would be incredible with the peanut butter frosting.

What I wore …. 11th March 2014

I have on a Topshop love jumper which is very cosy and sweet. Forever 21 patterned trousers which are crazy comfy but may have been a little premature I had very chilly ankles on my way into work today. Some current Forever 21 patterned trousers below. Umm the socks were the first ones I saw and my hair and make-up are exactly the same because I’m feeling lazy.

What I Wore …. 10th March 2014

I have on a new jumper from Zara which I adore, I can’t resist a blinged up casual jumper I have two others but they only have stuff around the collar so this one is a nice change. Asos high waisted jeans which are so comfy and fit me really well, it’s weird a lot of jeans I try on are too baggy at the crotch? I have no idea what is going on with that but I’m sticking my head in the sand about it. Old Topshop boots the heels have been re-done three times and they have little holes in them so my feet get wet when it rains but I can’t find another pair of black boots that I like better.

For hair and make-up I did a side French plait, just taking hair from one side, some mascara, some mac myth lipstick, a light peachy colour, and some aloe Vaseline on top for some shine.

Graphic Ts

I love the idea of chucking on a graphic T, some skinny jeans and Chelsea boots and looking instantly cool, the trouble is I am sooooo picky when it comes to graphic Ts! Maybe I should finally commit to a band and get a band T but for now I kinda like this bunch;
