Gingerbread Family




Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you had an enjoyable day!
This year, I got quite into the Christmas spirit and baked some delicious gingerbread men. Although Christmas has now gone, baking is definitely not seasonal and these biscuits can be made whenever!
The original gingerbread recipe is by the Sorted crew which I found whilst watching Tanya Burr's youtube channel. Don't worry if your cooking skills aren't exactly like Jamie Oliver's, the recipe is super easy and can be made by anyone!

If you have a go at making them, let me know how they turn out!

Primark Haul | December 2012

Hello!
I recently took a quick trip to my local Primark so I thought i'd show you my purchases :)
I was specifically on the hunt for Topshop Leigh jean dupes. I've seen a few bloggers mention they were selling soft, super skinny jeans similar to those produced by Topshop but at a fraction of the price AND that they came in Tall and Short sizes!!!
As a petite girl I do struggle to find clothes that fit my height. Im not adverse to using a sewing machine and I don't mind altering clothes to fit, however, sometimes its nice to buy things off the rack that actually don't need adjustments. Anyways before I digress into a long article about the perils of being petite, back to my HAUL.

Primark black skinny jeans - £11
These jeans are equally as soft as Topshop's offering and only cost £11. As an owner of both versions I definitely think Primarks are worth the price if your not willing to spend too much on a staple pair.

I also picked up some basic shoes to wear to university. I've been looking for good chelsea boots but the ones I tend to go for are quite expensive and i'm not entirely sure if i'd wear them that much. So to try them out, I thought i'd pick up a pair of Primarks version:

velvet chelsea boots primark
Chelsea boots - £5
This pair caught my eye as I feel velvet looks great in the Winter. They're also a rich blue colour that adds a little extra to outfits; not to mention they were a steal at £5!!

primark black suede booties
Desert ankle boots - £6

The second pair I bought were these black desert ankle boots (as Primark likes to call them!). They looked like a good staple boot that can be dressed up and down!

Have you found anything nice in Primark recently?
