Fringin' it!

Hey Guys,

Despite the title of this post let me start by saying  this is not a post about me cutting a fringe! :P

If you haven't noticed the fringe/tassel trend this season you must be living under a rock or something! There are tassels everywhere! I love it! Although, some of it is a bit over the top but I think if you just use elements of it and don't over do it you could have a really great look! 

I've had my eye on these Missguided heels since they came out so  I ordered a pair and they'd been sitting pretty in my closet for a couple of weeks so I thought it was time to whip em out!

I kept the look quite simple with just a plain white exaggerated V-neck dress for a bit of edge (was a bit risky but why not!? You deaf need double sided boob tape though, especially if you're more blessed than me in that department haha :P !), silver jewellery and only a brown/camel bag to go with the shoes just to keep it clean. 

This is me trying to be 'edgy' and spice things up a bit with a fake nose ring,I only had it on in some of the pics just to show different ways of switching up a look but in the end you couldn't actually see it properly. I would never pierce my face but I have to admit I had fun playing around with it!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Hello lovely Glams!

When I started this blog, the idea was to have posts about food and fashion, which in the beginning it was but now I seem to have strayed away from the food part of it. I guess when I'm cooking I don't really think to stop and take pics of the different stages of the method hence the lack of food posts. Also, the food I eat at uni really isn't exciting. Anyway, to the point, I'm going to try and post more food recipes; particularly ones that don't take long, starting with this recipe!

I know what you're thinking, chocolate avocado mousse?!? Sounds kinda gross, but I have to say it is absolutely delicious and completely guilt free!! It literally takes less than ten minutes and I'd say the amount of ingredients you use is really up to your personal preference e.g. how sweet you want it depends on how many dates you put in. Its dairy free as well which is perfect for me as I'm slowly trying to ween myself off dairy products and onto alternatives. 

Enough chatter, here is my Avocado Chocolate Mousse, best served with fruit to cut the richness (my personal preference)! 

 

I used about 4 dates,about 1/4 of a very ripe avocado, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp cocoa powder and about 2 tbsp of water. Put it all in a blend and adjust ingredients to your taste, as well as water content for thickness and texture.

INGREDIENTS:

RIPE AVOCADO

DATES

COCOA POWDER

VANILLA EXTRACT

WATER

Hey Glams,
I hope you're all having a nice and relaxed Monday evening.

It appears I'm starting to become obsessed with this mustardy yellow! I keep adding pops of it wherever possible.I know it's officially summer now, YAY!!! So I guess the colour helps brighten up my outfits. But let's be honest...In England summer could mean anything! Hence the leather jacket and khaki jeans, another colour I'm so in love with. 

I was given such an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity to fly over London in a helicopter and what made it more special was that I could do it with my family! I love to dress 'in theme' wherever possible and felt like an army vibe was necessary. It was comfortable, weather appropriate and we all know I love a good crop top ;) Hair red to mom. Also last little note, can't get enough of KIKO lipsticks, such good quality!! 

Here are a few pics from our lovely day out! 

So this top is actually a full T-shirt and I just tied a not to give it more edge, like I said: experimenting is key! and fun! :D 

Blogger Problems, not being able to stay focused :P 

Sorry this is a bad example of my jewellery, but it should give you an idea,  I kept it black and gold!
