Good recipe

After a very chilly Winter, I was making a lot of pumpkin soup for the family and I thought I would share this recipe as it's pretty easy and you can't really go wrong! Hope you try it out and feel free to leave some comments :)

Ingredients : Large cooking pot, wooden spoon, blender rod, half a pumpkin (Diced), 2 or 3 carrots (sliced), 1 onion (finely diced), 1 tbsp plain flour, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp chicken stock, 3/4 of a cup milk. I usually also put in one zucchini (sliced) except we had none :\    

Melt the butter on a low heat and then add the onions, cook until partially translucent.
Make sure to  get all the onion covered in the butter. 

Add in all the pumpkin and mix.

Add in all the carrot and mix.

Put the lid on and let the vegetables soften for about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally so as not to let anything stick to the pot. 

Take the pot off the heat and add in the flour.


Mix in the flour until you can't see any white.

Dissolve 1 tsp of chicken stock into 2 cups of water.

try to submerge most of the vegetable matter under the stock.

Put back onto the heat and bring to the boil.

Once boiling, know the temperature down and
let it simmer for 20 minutes or until  soft .
After 20 minutes, let it cool down for about 5 minutes and
then using your blending rod, blend it all together.

Add milk if you wish and blend until smooth.
TA DAA! that's it, hope you one day try this out, because it is delish! Perfect for those cold days :)

Pearly Lace

I got this dress as a birthday present, intending to wear it to a friends' birthday party. I absolutely adore the delicate beading on the lace collar, and the little tear drop cut-out. I think this dress is really sweet, so I just paired it with these simple platforms that I also got as a birthday present.

Magpie wanted to say hi :)

A very versatile faux leather jacket would be nice. Studs would make it even nicer. 
A rainbow floral print skirt would be easy to style and would easily brighten up any outfit.
As a HUGE fan of Grav3yardirl, I would love to have these quote badges!
Especially this one :)
I am in love with this back pack! I usually don't go for white, but this one is just a beauty!
Perfect for layering, I plan on doing a DIY on this one day.

Winter has finally come to an END! So happy! :D The cold really affects my mood at times, so I feel really happy that spring is here, I just hope I don't get really bad hay fever.
So to kick off the new season, I decided to wear this warm tangerine colour to represent the warmer days.

Likey

In love with denim dungarees! Except for me they have to be a certain size & shape because some of them, I think,  look like a sack and others just look stupid...the only thing i don't like about this one is the pocket lining. 
I recently ordered one of these metallic hair cuffs from eBay & I really like them because you can make an ordinary hairstyle look so much better with it!
Now, I know that ombre hair has been around for ages (& is maybe getting a bit old), but I absolutely love this particular combination!

The one pair of Black Milk leggings that has spoken to me since the Aurora skye's..

OOTD :)I know it's been ages since I did a look, but I haven't been the best lately :( I caught a cold, then it went away and I caught it again -_-+ I'm okay now though, so I shall be doing more of these, one a week if I have time! I also used my new lens for the first time, and I love it! I just need to learn how to use if properly :)
