Transylvanian Concubine



Playsuit - Topshop / Bracelet - Black Tied / Rings - Regal Rose, H&M, Kukee

I wore this lovely little Topshop playsuit on Tuesday for Andy's birthday. I love velvet & always look forward to cracking some out during the A/W season. Looking like a Victorian boy is totally my thing. Its actually really warm, so much so that I didn't feel the need to wear any tights with it. Not that we went anywhere or did anything other than gorge on the yummy cake I made. We decided to just have a little party inside to save on funds. I think Andy was also a bit sad about turning 28. I'm quite the opposite & look forward to getting older every year, maybe just so people will stop looking down on me for having a kid already. Hey-ho!




This is how my Smarties birthday cake turned out. It was so good! I'd say it was the best tasting cake I've ever made. I used a Hummingbird Bakery recipe for the chocolate buttercream frosting & it was really delicious, even if I did end up covering half the kitchen with icing sugar & cocoa powder!

  4. I think you're lucky! Far better to have children when you're young - I had my first much later, and wish I'd had them younger! Lovely outfit and cake :)
