I took these photos yesterday but ran out of time to post them last night. I brought this top in the January sales as it was £1 and I thought it would be great for when the weather got warmer. It's still cold, but I'm bored of waiting.

I've got summer dresses all lined up in hope that I might get to wear them. 

Hurry along summer.

I'll be posting up a recipe for hot cross buns tomorrow. They taste amazing!

I'm so bored of grey skies and cold weather. I'm so looking forward to Easter then summer. Warm weather and no uni! It will be bliss. And I can post outfits and I can do food shoots outside. Can you tell I want summer! I'm bearing my waist, there's no way your seeing my stomach. 

Today marks mine and Mr Swan's 4 year anniversary. We've decided to have Chinese tonight and then go out for a meal on Friday.

Tomorrow is pay day and student bursary day so I'm looking to get a new laptop. Any laptop suggestions will be great! I will also be buying the What Katie Ate cookbook. Her photography is breathtaking. 

I'll be posting a peanut butter brownie recipe tomorrow!

I put this shirt on this morning and Mr Swan has been singing stand by your man all day. This is now my cowgirl/country music star shirt. I picked this up from Primark a few weeks ago.

I've been baking non stop this week for my uni project. I'm making a zine which I may sell if people are interested.

I wish this cold would go away, feeling awful still.

I've been sent some beautiful jewellery from Pumpkin Soup. I'll be posting about those soon!

I haven't posted an outfit in ages and it's not because I don't want to. It's because we seem to have rubbish weather at the minute and catching the sunshine and staying out of the rain is proving difficult. Roll on summer when I can photograph after 3 in the afternoon. Living on the most Eastly point in England means I see the sun first but also we are the first place to lose the sun. Not fair! 

These are my new reading glasses. I've been developing a bit of a squint, especially in the evenings and when I'm at my laptop. So they are working wonders. I was told that my eyes looked tired and stressed. Erm that may be because I am tired and stressed!

I'm feeling so ill. I took these photo's yesterday and my eyes look dead on the last photo. If I'd of taken these today it would not be pretty. Feeling terrible is an understatement.

I'm hoping to get the right mix of fashion, food and lifestyle posts. I love baking and fashion equally so I'm going to try and balance posts. I hope you guys like the balance of the two.

I'll be posting up a review on some amazing jams I've been sent as well as a post explaining how I photograph food. I think you'll be surprised in my methods.
