So MissGuided is currently offering 25% Student Discount so I just had to take advantage! I initially was going to just buy this jacket that I have been eyeing up for the longest time, but the "Free Next Day Delivery on Orders over £60" caught my eye, and I ended up with more than anticipated. But who's complaining?
This time of year is my least favourite in terms of shopping, you can't buy summer clothes but it's pointless buying winter clothes. So the first thing I added to my basket was this beautiful teal suedette biker jacket. I initially wanted the mustard one that literally everyone seems to have, but the colour of this one caught my eye and i'm so glad as it is so beautiful. It sits so wonderfully, it is a lot less structured than leather bikers but will be so perfect for spring and cold summer nights as it's so lightweight. I'm also planning on wearing it now with some pleather skinnies and a turtle neck, I am so excited about this.
The two top's I bought are quite basic t-shirts, I am definitely more of a wear for comfort person. I love being able to throw on simple items that still look good. They were only £12/15 each so how could I say no? I was especially excited for the long-sleeved raglan t-shirt. However when it arrived I noticed one sleeve was about 7cm longer than the other? Which is so strange, so i'm going to have to send it back to exchange for another. As for the black one, I was torn between just keeping the sleeves rolled or cutting it into a muscle-tee, what do you think would be best?
Lastly, I bought some new shoes. I am never and have never been the type of person to wear any shoes other than converse, maybe some basic gladiators on summer. But these caught my eyes, the beautiful rose gold colour absolutely makes them stand out from anything. This style of shoe was so popular last year and is obviously going to be just as big this spring/summer! I am still wondering how I would style these, but i'm always up for a challenge! How gorgeous are these purchases though? I also only spent £63, so it's quite a bargain!
How would you style the rose gold shoes? Comment below, thanks for reading!:)

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Hi guys! So on Sunday I finally had a day off work and decided to spend my day in my pj's baking some cupcakes. My favourite kind of cake has got to be carrot cake, hands down. Luckily for me whilst shopping at ALDI I found a carrot cake mix for 79p (bargain much?!) and thought i'de give it a try. Literally, I never need to buy ingredients again. This is SO good, all you need to add is water and vegetable oil, it is so quick and they taste amazing. For those who don't like carrot cake (like my sister) they also do Ginger cake and Madeira cake, also 79p each. Alongside the cake mix I also bought some walnut pieces to throw in and some Betty Crocker vanilla icing. Yes I know that's kind of cheating, but it tastes so yummy and I just cannot make butter-crème icing no matter now many times I try. I also recommend maybe throwing in an extra dash of cinnamon and maybe even some raisins.

As the mix makes so many cupcakes I opted to only put half in, this still made 10 cupcakes! I put in 100ml of water (as the packet says 200, so I halved it) and 30ml of vegetable oil (again, halved 60). I mixed it all in together and sprinkled a pinch of baking powder to help them rise more. I then spooned the mixture evenly throughout 10 cupcake cases - whilst spilling it everywhere - and popped them in the oven on Gas Mark 5 for 20/25 minutes (pre-heated beforehand ofc).

When the house was filled with a scent of the carrot cake I took them out the oven, make sure they are golden brown and check that the inside isn't gooey with a knife/skewer. They had risen so much, with a little baking powder help. Also, can you see how smooth and rounded they are?! My baking never goes right, but for some reason this cake mix just works perfectly every time. I then left them to cool by the window for about 10 minutes. After they where cold I put my vanilla icing into a piping tube and iced them. By the way, the icing tube is ridiculously hard so I would absolutely recommend a bag instead. As you can see, my icing is absolutely crazy! I just sprinkled some walnuts on the top and they were finished.
