hi everyone,
sorry i havn't blogged in over a week, i've been SO super busy with preparing for my french speaking exam - im so sick of talking about nuclear power in french :S
so, yesterday was the royal wedding :) i set my alarm at 7am so i could get up and watch from the beginning, but i think the enticement of champagne breakfast helped me get up so early!
i loved kate's dress, i thought it was lovely having the traditional long sleeves mixed with the more modern see-throughness of them (plus she does love a bit of see-through!)
made my nommy ginger cakes aswel yesterday, to take to my friends house where i watched the wedding. thought i would put the recipe on here as it has been requested, so here it is! ...
10oz self-raising flour
5oz caster sugar
1 teaspoon bicarb of soda
3 teaspoons of ground ginger (you can put in more if you like, as this it is quite a mild flavour with 3)
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1/4 pint corn oil (theres a brand called Mazola which i use)
1/2 pint milk :)
just put it all in a food processor and thats it!
they cook for like 25/30 ish mins at 180 degrees C
chop up some crystalised ginger and put that on the top before you cook too if you really like ginger :)
and you can make normal butter icing if you want that too
nommm :)

Jelly bean William
Today, inspired by the jelly bean that looks scarily like Kate Middleton (although im not sure if i think its real,) i searched through my jelly bean factory jelly beans tube that i got as an early easter present to look for William. Look what i found...
how sad am i :P
thats pretty much the extent of what i did today, although i have potentially gotten a slight tan, wahey :)

BBQ
hey everyone :)
skirt zara, top topshop
this is what i wore yesterday to meet my friend, and then we went for a lovely barbeque on the beach, only it was too dark to take photos :(
its not a particularly interesting outfit, but i just love the skirt so much - that is the colour i wanted my hair dammitt! and i think the wind was slightly blowing my skirt in the second photo - im hoping my arse isnt that shape :S
have just been looking on the topshop website where they have a new look called 'summer prints' - pretty much want all of it, especially...
all topshop

sims
hello :) i know i keep banging on about the yummy weather but it is really really lovely,
right thats over.
here are a couple photos of what i wore today, only problem is i took them with my webcam which is pretty damn not amazing, on the first photo i look like a sim!
as you can see, my pink hair has reallly faded and now im left with salmon hair - wahey >:(
so im potentially thinking of changing the colour - maybe turquoize?
any ideas?

marathon
hi everyone, i hope you have all had a lovely day in the sun today :)
i have some new photos to post, but cannot find my fricking lead, its the bane of my life trying to keep that thing in a sensible place!
so i'll compensate by posting a few photos of summery wedge heel shoes i realllly have to have :)
i also went for a jog in this really pretty place today, its by a river and one day (when im not jogging) i will take my camera because it really is quite pretty :)
anyway, after my jog i came home and realised the london marathon is today, duhh, and then was embarrased at my amateurish attempts at jogging!
i also baked ginger cupcakes, my vegan recipe ones again which really are nomnomnommm
so im looking forward to having one of those and watching the only way later, i know its bad and its such a guilty pleasure but there is pretty much no other tv on at the moment!

trees, grandparents, hair and ebay :)
hi everyone!
i got back today from visiting grandparents - it was lovely to see them again as we dont get to see them very often and to spend time with them in the sun :)

here's a few photos i (and my mum) took when we were there, i absolutely LOVED this tree aha, its a magnolia one and it comes from japan
and after consulting my grandad's tree book i found that pretty much all pretty colourful trees come from japan originally, im such a tree buff ;)
also, when i got back today i had a lovely surprise for me in the post - my pink hair dye! (so i guess its not really a surprise aha)
and i've done a patch test and its come out awesomo, so tomorrow i should be fully dip-dyed, that well known verb :)
have been getting quite a lot of traffic so thank you everyone for that, i really appreciate it and love that you guys actually read what i write about :)
ohh, last thing, am toying with the idea of selling some things on ebay, just things like jewellery/scarves/belts i dont wear anymore
oh and rings that i bought to try and force my tiny hands to grow, but that really are too big to wear!
more posts on this in the future :)
bye :) x x x

i wanna dip dye!
mentioned yesterday about how im thinking of dipdyeing my hair
so, i want it to look like this...
i think its a really cool trend that pretty much no one that i know has chosen to adopt
perhaps it's a little out there, but i think if its done well it looks realll good!
so do you think it would suit my hair? :)
also, just thought i would take this dipdyed hair moment to mention my love for nicki minaj at the moment, i think shes properly amazing and a totally original female soloartist - I LOVE HER :)
aha!
