Valentino - you've done it again - feather turnlock cross-body bag. LOOK AT THE FEATHERS

LOOK AT THIS BAG

Look at it.

It's covered in feathers...

It's also 2,500 pound from Selfridges (!!?)

you may choose to spend THAT money more wisely...

But look:

Feathers! And Valentino hardware.

You're welcome.

Shoesday Tuesday = Shoesday. Selling some - MORE!! - shoes on Trademe, New Zealands own Ebay

These boots are to die  look at the acrylic heels!

But theyre a tad too small to be comfortable...

and they make me AN INSANELY TALL PERSON.

d

Bought both these pairs of shoes online 

While I love them both, the heels are INSANE

If you could take an inch off the height I would wear the Sh*t out of these shoes

Love the blue croc!

These pretties were an online job from +Wild Pair 

I actually emailed head office when they disappeared off their site

The heel/arch is very high so I just wear them when I know I wont be walking a lot!

I am slowly learning my lesson with online shopping.

Bags are good, Nail polishes, eyeshadows...

but not so much things you need to try on

and I know there are returns - but who can be bothered with that?

Answer: I should.

Sunday Baking - Melting moment Cookies - With a hint of ginger and Raspberry Buttercream icing.

Melting Moments with a hint of Ginger

Raspberry buttercream Icing

Ingredients - Cookies

200g soft butter

73g icing Sugar

1t Ground Ginger +

210g flour, sifted together

Ingredients - Icing

120g softened butter

200g icing sugar, sifted

25g raspberry Jam

Method - Cookies

Cream butter and sugar together until creamy and soft. Add ginger and flour sifted together and stir until a smooth batter forms. Don't overmix as your cookies will flatten when baking.

Now, you can either put into a piping bag and make pretty rosettes with a star nozzle or just form into balls on lined baking trays and flatten with a fork (as I have done here in the picture)

Bake cookies low and slow to encourage a melt in your mouth tender result.

140 Centigrade for approx 20-25 mins. Cookies should smell delicious but not be coloring just yet. Cool on tray for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make Icing: 

Beat/whip butter and icing sugar together until light and creamy.

Stir through jam.

Use icing to sandwich cookies together.

Try not to eat them all in one go!

This recipe for melting moments is so endlessly adaptable, 

you can really try any flavours with it.

Lemon Melting Moments - Coming soon to a blog post near you

Happy Baking all!
