Short & Sweet

Last night, me, my sister and her boyfriend had a craving for chocolate cornflake cakes. So of we trundled to the kitchen to see if we had the easiest of ingredients, yes to cornflakes but no to chocolate, well to be truthful we did have chocolate but not enough to mine or my sisters guideline, so a quick trip down the road and we are sorted. 



As you can see Garfield wasn't joining us on the little trip down the road, as that means him having to move, and just look how comfortable he is :) No he's quite happy for us to get on with it all.


I just love making these choc cornflake cakes, as they are so simple to make and delicious.

All you need is chocolate and a box of cornflakes or rice crispies. Depending on how chocolaty you like them on how much choc you use. We went for 3 bars (the big ones) of galaxy. This also determines how many you want to make when adding your cornflakes or rice crispies.






 So quite simply break up all the chocolate, put  boiling water in a sauce pan, place a heat proof bowl over the pan, make sure the water DOESN'T touch the bowl and stir the chocolate until it has all melted.



















YUMMY, don't you just want to dip your finger in and have a taste.







 I can just eat that, so hard not too......


Once all the chocolaty has melted, add the cornflakes and mix together. I tend to add a bit at a time, then you will have more of a say on how chocolaty you want them and how many you want to make.















Then once your are happy with the quantity, place them into cases and place them in the fridge, then you can determine who hard you want them etc. I like them just like that and once they are fully hard. Basically I like them however they come :)























So presentation isn't my forte but hey they look homemade and that's in vogue, so lets roll with it. They are not there for long anyway. 

So I am now off to have mine with a cup of tea. 

Go on I know now you are craving for them. You can have them yourselves in a matter of 10mins, go on you know you want too.

Summer Wardrobe

Sorry for not blogging for a few days, again been very busy. But some of the things I have been up to I can now blog, now that I have time - Yay....

One of the things I have been up to is shopping for numerous amounts of things, one Fathers Day (don't worry you still have over a week, it's 15th June for us Brits) plus it's my Grandmas birthday, not forgetting my sisters boyfriends 18th too, along with getting ready for a very jam pact summer I have ahead of me. 

I thought I would share with you today my planning of a summer wardrobe.  Don't worry I will do one for Fathers day ideas tomorrow. 

I love a good hat for summer and holidays, plus I am going to Cannes which means I definitely need a hat to fit in with the very chic French women of the French Riviera. So no pressure on my wardrobe for when I go to Cannes, as if. 

Here is the start of my venture of a summer wardrobe to die for. 


Lets start with the classic hats, very chic:

Net - a - Porter, Sensi Studio








Reiss








Whistles






Now for the clothing, again I am mainly focusing my wardrobe for when I go to Cannes as that's a place you especially need to look good, plus its the most fun to shop for. But don't get me wrong I will be wearing this all through the summer, where ever I am, and I haven't finished my summer wardrobe for my other ventures during the summer, which I will share when I am done. But for now here is what I have found:


Reiss














I literally just bought this today and I am in LOVE with this jumpsuit



ASOS


















French Connection




Some ideas from Pint Interest 








Some more Reiss, this shop is great for the Chic summer look.












Zara - love, great price and good quality. 








They do this skirt in Navy too, which I love just thought this was more summery



So of course one of the most important thing is the shoes..... So first of I went through my wardrobe to see which ones will suit, of course I am taking my new Jimmy Choo's








I thought these would look great for the evenings, going to restaurants then the epic bars and clubs.




These are supper comfy and look good with anything. 


I just need to find the perfect sandals, and maybe add to the rest of the collect? too much??? no never to much! 


If any of you have any great shops, websites etc for the sort of things I am after for a perfect summer wardrobe, I would love all the help I can get. Oh I need a really good beach bag, plus summer day bag (is there such a thing?) 

Hope you all are having a good week.
