STYLE | LEATHER ME UP

Just a quick one from me to wish you all a Happy New Year.

I hope you are all having a good one so far and recovering from the festive period.

I also gained another year of my life this week so Happy Birthday to me!

There was a bit of a theme with some of the presents I received this year.

It's not surprising though as I am well known as a sucker for anything black...especially if it is leather...

Here are some lovely leathery gifts I received this year.

Doc Martens (second hand off ebay) to replace my old pair.

They will come in very handy for the Winter weather and any snowy periods...and just general stomping (Thank you Mama and Papa Wood!).

A gift to myself... A bargain from Topshop found on ebay! I almost cried when I saw this in the new store in Leeds about a month ago.

I cannot believe I got it for a quarter of the price (Thank you me!).

Ted Baker leather zip gloves. Also found on ebay I believe.

Adding an instant fix of glamour to those Winter outfits. (Thank you David).

INSTAGRAM | #5

I have waited a while to do this one.

Mainly due to the fact that I have been very busy with work and I have not been baking/having all that much fun to document via photographs! But hey, here we go.

Here is a little round up of my life the past month in INSTAGRAM (from L-R):

1.  Fake tasche's and drinks for David's birthday.

2.  A badass batch of Mulled Wine!

3.  Home made Birthday Banoffee Pie.

4.  A rather sunken attempt at an All Bran loaf.

Usually a fail-safe recipe if you DON'T forget the baking powder!

5.  My first article in print for the Leeds Student newspaper.

6.  A beautiful winter sunrise.

7.  Me being silly with tinsel prior to a Christmas Meal.

8.  Toffee Pecan Mess!

9.  My White Chocolate Granola Blondies getting their bake on!
