Good Enough to Eat | QueenBeady

Jumper New Look | Shirt Topshop | Kirsty Allsopps Bath Creamers Kit C/O HobbyCraft

I like to pretend I’m Mary Berry or Peggy Porschen, but if you tasted what I had baked you wouldn’t believe me. So, until I get one of those super fancy Kenwood Mixer’s I won’t be baking for a while, is it too early to start a Christmas 2015 wishlist? Instead I thought I’d best focus my efforts on another hobby. With the blustery winds it has forced us to stay inside (unless we wanted to be blasted across the Atlantic at 50mph) so I turned my attention this rather cute set from the Kirsty Allsopp range at HobbyCraft. With this beautiful, rose-scented bath creamer kit I can create a number of little homemade gifts shaped like little cupcakes for the ones I love, so that’s exactly what I set to doing. It’s super simple & I used our microwave to create them. The fanstastic smells of rose, almond, shea and cocoa have left our house smelling divine. I hand delivered these to my Mum, Sister & Nana and they were all delighted. A lazy afternoon making these, was an afternoon well-spent to see their faces light up with an impromptu, handmade gift! Have you tried any of the kits from Kirsty Allsopp’s range, if so which ones?

When Your Mini-Me has to Step In | QueenBeady

Top Fred Perry | Jeans C/O DressKode

So, Christmas is a time for friends & family oh and wait a minute… overindulging! So much so that I was recently bulging at the seams trying to fit in to an outfit I wanted to share with you. My wonderful cousin stepped in to my shoes & paraded around in my latest arrival from DressKode & obviously rocked it. The high waisted jeans are super flattering & can pull in any waist (except, maybe not mine!) She teamed it with a pink Fred Perry top which is one of her absolute staple pieces. She was quite taken with these jeans and said that they were surprisingly comfy too. Thank goodness for my mini-me stepping in! Have you overindulged over the festive period too?

‘’Lucinda’’ in the Sky with Diamonds | QueenBeady

Top H&M | Skirt C/O Poppy Lux | Watch Olivia Burton | Leopard Print Shoes New Look I’ve always dreamed of owning my own walk-in wardrobe, so when Mr C’s Grandparent’s go on holiday twice a year I can play pretend. Whilst a striking resemblance to the girl out of the ‘’The Ring’’ is quite apparent in these photo’s it was time for me to play dress up. I am a huge fan of Breton stripes and own far too many of these tops to even care to suggest, but, when paired with a sparkly new skirt from Poppy Lux (sister brand to SugarHill Boutique) it seemed a match made in heaven? Now, I love this time of year as it becomes acceptable to wear a little bit of sparkle without feeling too guilty. After all, one of my main motto’s in life is ‘’leave a little sparkle wherever you go’’ and this skirt does exactly that. I teamed this look with my new Olivia Burton watch that the husband bought me for my birthday back in October – a firm favourite of mine! Not forgetting my new leopard print heels, an eBay session brought these to me. Now, you must excuse me whilst I head back up to the dressing room and play Princesses for a few more hours…

Zebra Print | QueenBeady

Hat eBay | Dress Primark | Shoes Primark

This has to be one of the cutest outfits I have at the moment. Period. As soon as I saw this dress on the sale rail in Primark I just knew I had to have it. The cut out shoulders give it that little extra edge but it’s still playful with the Zebra pattern. Ever the thrifty shopper I picked this up for a mere £5 and have already worn it to the Ella Eyre gig in Leeds last week.

Another steal were these amazing faux snake/crocodile skin pumps that I have seen on Instagram a lot. These are a dupe of Zara’s version but look just the same (albeit the quality may not be as long lasting!), I found them tucked away in a dark corner of the shelf and surprisingly they had a size 5 left. Not only that they were only £5! With that, I swiped them in to my basket and headed straight for the check out. I was not going to miss out on these babies!

My bowler hat is from eBay (China) and only cost about £2 which I think finished this quirky look off perfectly. I can imagine wearing this next year at Leeds Festival because it was just super comfy. To create a winter look I have already paired it with some thick black tights, boucle jacket and my chelsea boots.

I am so happy with these little treats I’ve picked up. Have you managed to get these from Primark recently?

Jumpin’ Jack Flash | QueenBeady

Leather Jacket Quiz | Necklace Topshop | Jumpsuit C/O Wal-G | Heels New Look

When the Wal-G package landed on my doorstep I was ready to get my game face on and style something that is a little bit unusual to what I would normally style. I was sent the pale green jumpsuit, which, in all fairness isn’t something that wouldn’t tend to flatter my rather large bosom nor my hips which subsequently resemble a woman who should have given birth to 100 children by now.

Ever the optimist I set to it by digging out my leather jacket to give it a slightly edgier feel & I must say I was pretty happy with the results. Rather than draw unwanted attention to certain areas of my body it accentuated them which I was most pleased with. Add a pair of barely there heels to create a sophisticated, glamorous look! I accessorised with a thick, chunky necklace from Topshop which completed this look.

The whole ”pyjama” style look is on trend at the moment so it felt great that I could actually rock this look despite my curvaceous figure! I say give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome!
How would you style it?
