So hilarious.

I haven't been shopping lately, just saving my money, trying to be a bit less 'spendy

But I saw this bag and after stalking it online for awhile I decided to take the plunge.

Have you guys bought anything nice lately?

Happy Shopping everyone :-D

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

 I love these shoes but in about 7 years Ive worn them maybe ONCE! So they're GONE

They've literally met their reserve and are GOING.

I like these shoes, but I've had enough of them

They feel dated now, someone else can enjoy them.

I bought these shoes on a whim and don't love them

so thought I would see how they do in a sale.

As you can see I buy shoes first, ask questions later...

I really want some over-the-knee boots...

These could do it: Diba Knee high boot from +Wild Pair 

Aaaaaand I bought these yesterday...

All in all the downsizing aint going so great.

Happy Shoesday All.

**update**
I also just bought some new black pumps!
At least I'm off-loading... as well as re-loading?

NOTD - My version of Cupcake Nails, a super fun nail art tutorial

So, these were mildly successful, so I'll show you how I got here

Remember: Patience.

Step 1: Paint yo nails...

Step 2: With a white striper (or white gel pen) 

draw your icing top and vertical lines down to your cuticles...

Step 3: Fill the icing top in with white.

Add some glitter nail polish for sprinkles!

Do a dot for the cherry on top.

Et Voila!!!
I've put glitter nailpolish over the top to look like sprinkles. 

Not as pretty (or as edible) as these cupcakes I made for 
SPCA (Society for the protection of Animals) Cupcake day!

*cough* If your don't look like this, soz dunno why!?

OOH! Always add a top coat to seal it all up!

Sunday Baking - soft, tender freshly baked Lemonade Scones - Ridiculously easy recipe

Lemonade Scones

Ingredients:

512g Flour, sifted

4t Baking powder

Pinch salt

300ml double cream

300ml lemonade or soda water

Method:

Sift flour, Baking Powder and salt together several times to aerate.

Make a well in the center and pour on cream and lemonade.

Mix until a soft dough is formed (never over-mix your scones, they'll be tough)

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and dust with a little more flour.

push out (with your hands, not a rolling pin) the dough to form a rectangle shape. 

Cut into 12 equal sized pieces.

Arrange on lined baking trays and bake at 220 centigrade for 10-12 mins until golden brown.

Remove and cool wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep fresh.

Go nuts!

You could add cheese for cheese scones, or dates, or sultanas.

I served mine with butter and some home-made kiwifruit jam from the local farmers market!

These freeze well - keep in a plastic container, just refresh in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Happy Baking all
