Guess Who's Back...

That's right, it's me! 

It has literally been a month since my last post went live. I feel a mixture of good/bad just because I love blogging, but I also love having time away!

I'm back now and am excited, I've got a bunch of new posts, a hopeful new redesign coming up in the next couple of months, and life is looking bright. I've recently had a burst of utter determination to do things, working hard, being more creative, live more freely, enjoy life, lose weight, explore new things.

I guess what this random-put what I want in post is trying to say is; I'm Back! And Very Happy!

Autumn/Winter Outfit


The nights are getting darker and the days colder, yep, I think it's officially Autumn. I love Autumn; the beautiful red leaves falling and being able to take the dog for a walk without getting seriously sweaty. I have put together this outfit which I love, perfect for the coming seasons.


Ivory And Gold Foil Butterfly Print Blouse With Gold Trim: Yours Clothing: £26

Evans Black Four Pocket Wax Trim Jacket: Evans: £69.50

Evans Brown Stitch Seam Riding Boots: Evans: £55

Inspire Black Skinny Jeans: New Look: £14.99

Handbag: H&M: £29.99

 All of these items work great with other items of clothes, I am in love with the wax jacket, I would love a Barbour but they only go up to a UK size 16, so this jacket from Evans is a perfect alternative!

Chocolate & Vanilla Marble Cake

Hello everyone,
Recently I feel I have been neglecting the blog a little, although I have updated the layout slightly which is good!

Whilst I have been away, I have seen Adam Hills at the Hammersmith Apollo, this was such a good night out, unfortunately, I had lost my phone in the house so went without taking photos. Adam Hills is a hilarious comedian who takes his disability as an opportunity to make people laugh.

Since starting my new job, I have been working a lot, working in the care industry means I work silly shifts, like starting at 7.30am and finishing at 9.30pm. It's full on.

However all hope is not lost, I had a spare afternoon and decided to bake something quick and simple, a Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Cake.


As this recipe is on the Telegraph's website, I used my iPad to display it which worked well, although I was careful not to spill anything onto it!

The recipe is so simple to follow and the cake mix worked well even without having a mixer to use.


 
The icing is a chocolate, almost fudge icing with melted white chocolate dribbled over. 
 


 Overall, I really enjoyed making the cake, it was different to do a loaf style, almost enjoyable not having to decorate 12 tiny cupcakes. 

You can find the recipe here.

Goodbye, Lydia
