How To Wear Pencil skirts


Hi everyone ! What do you think of when you hear the words ‘pencil skirt’? Maybe only should be worn at work or extremely tight pencil skirt which you can hardly walk in because its too tight around the thighs . Whatever springs to mind, the image that appears is always going to be a seriously sexy, glamorous and grown-up one to me pencil skirts just give puts an outfit together also is one of my Basic Wardrobe Staples  . But before you think ‘OK, this is so not for me  read on with a cuppa before you disregard, this glamorous feminine look. 
 
Does it make my bum look big ?
 
Most likely yes , silly!  pencil skirts are made to accentuate curves also they are made to cling on all the right places which I love ! , so as long as it doesn’t feel uncomfortable and no too tight where your thighs can't breath you're fine also ANY BODY SHAPE can wear a pencil skirt .after that you're set to get your wiggle on! Are you still doubting?   Bear in mind that the amazing  bootylicious owner of the world’s most famous bottom, Kim Kardashian is a big fan of the pencil skirt. also , it's her  signature look show off her famous rear to fab effect, it also accentuates her womanly thighs.
Wear it to work
 
Pencil skirts have always been part of the classic women’s formal skirt suit and I do think they are a staple to have in any workwomen's wardrobe .  So if you want to bring your skirt up to date wear it without the jacket for a fashion-forward and just add an necklace to your blouse , yet office appropriate look that’ll take you straight from your desk and out to dinner. Now who said work wear can be so boring .
Shirt  from next .
Statement Necklace  from Zara
Pencil Skirt  from  Dorothy Perkins
 
Its party time .
 
Add some pizzazz to your look by adding a pencil skirt! The good news is that this skirt shape is incredibly versatile, meaning you won’t need to break the bank buying new tops to match it. These to Missguided  they have a fantastic range of , blacks , neutrals and prints.  And if it’s a really posh night out, why not treat yourself to a  ,Lace pencil skirt from misguided  
also why not try a Light coloured and patterned ones are also an excellent choice for a wedding, christening or a day at the races. 
 
The causal approach to things
 
To add a causal to a pencil skirt why not add a crop top or a bralet and fro shoes add some sandals , pumps or converse .

What is one movie you will never get tired of watching ?

That would have to be The Lion king , no words can express  how much I love that flim. I go though every single emotion while watching that film . I know every song as well . Apparently when I was young I used to get my little sister and pretend that she was samba and lift her up on the bed ( the bed I my head was pride rock ) .  I think I've watched It over twenty times now.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

oh god how old would I be ... 21 wow . I would like to see myself finishing off studying Fashion journalism at a university and then looking to work in Vogue , Cosmopolitan or Marie Claire or opening my own bakery somewhere but I don't know what to call it though  .All I know is I would have a vintage feel to it and all the costumers would feel right at home .

If your could only listen to one singer/band for the rest of your life who would it be?

Foxes!  hands down I love her however I have never seen her live . The reason why is because she sings about different feelings that you can relate to also her songs always have catchy beat. Trust me on this you would find me in my room with foxes on full blast and dancing and singing with my hairbrush .

What is your biggest fear?

Right these two are head to head . One is feet I just don't like them , I don't even like my own weird right ? The second is Coulrophobia which is a fear of clowns  oh god even the word of the phobia makes me want to cry . You can laugh even I laugh sometimes but I just think they so scary and evil .  

If you could change any thing in your life, what would it be?

I wouldn't  change anything and I know that sounds I'm big headed but I'm not trust me on that .I just believe everything happens for a reason and life what you make it . So I wouldn't change anything .

Reason behind the last time you cried?

threading of my eyebrows oh god that's painful .

What is your favourite thing about yourself?

That would have be my eyelashes , they are really thick , long and curly . I just love my eyelashes .

What makes you feel confident?

an outfit . you know when you just look good from head to toe , for example your hair looks good ,then your outfit looks good . you just feel like you can conker the world .

What did you want to be when you were younger?

As long as I can remember it was something fashion related .

What was the last movie you cried at?

The last time I cried, I was at the cinema watching The Fault In Our Stars. I cried to much , honestly I genuinely thought I was going to run out of tears.

My Healthy Churros Recipe

Okay so excuse me while I get a little over excited about this fabulous Churros recipe which is healthy , ... well kind of healthy. In this recipe we are going to bake the Churros instead frying them . So a little background about Churros they are kind of the Spanish version of a doughnut . The original Spanish Churros were made with just flour and water (maybe some oil) dough but nowadays in Mexico, Churro batter is enriched with eggs, butter and sugar.



The Churro dough is basically a choux pastry (or paté a choux) which is the same used to éclairs and many more things .  The difference is that instead of being baked, it is fried in this case however, you can bake them too . The dough itself is pretty bland, but the rolling them in  cinnamon-sugar makes up for that. Roll them while they’re still warm so the sugar sticks and melts a little and makes a crunchy shell.

 
Cooking time : 20 minutes
Total time : 20minutes
Serves: 20-24
 

Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For baking , a baking tin
  • Greaseproof paper
  • For coating, mix together in a shallow dish:
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
Chocolate pot 100g (3.53 ounces) milk chocolate
Method
 
  1. Combine water, butter, sugar and salt in a medium pot and bring to boil over medium heat.
  2. Turn off heat and add flour all at once. Stir briskly until a ball forms.
  3. Turn into a large bowl or mixing bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.
  4. Beat eggs with vanilla in a small bowl.
  5. Mix in half the eggs either with a wooden spoon or electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Mix in remaining egg until smooth.
6.        Set up a piping bag with a ½ inch star tip (I used a Wilton 4B) and fill with half the dough or  fill a churrera fitted with a star tip.
7. .Pipe long strips of churros batter onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper . Spray lightly  with cooking oil. Use your non-dominant hand to squeeze and your dominant hand to cut lengths off with scissors or a knife (scissors are much more easier to use).
8. Bake in the oven 200C (392 degrees Fahrenheit) or Gas mark 5 for 12 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. While still warm, gently coat with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
9. Melt your chocolate in the microwave (30 seconds stir, 20 seconds stir, 10 seconds store, repeat 10 sec stir until melted). OR melt in a bowl resting over a pan with simmering water at the bottom. Make sure the water is not touching the bowl and stir continuously until melted.
10.  Pour the chocolate into a small serving bowl. Serve churros warm
Enjoy  x

Reinventing Your Look

 
Hiya guys I hope your all well , I have felt like I have disappeared off the face of the blogging world but , im and I am here telling you way you can reinvent your look . This can be a new look for school , collage , university or even work .
 
Step one : Change your hair now I am not saying go all unicorn and dye your hair pink or purple or even sour green or cut it in a crazy way . Just a little change in your hair does everything . you know people say whenever a women wants to make a change in her life she does something to her hair and couldn't be more true. if your like me and you a little bit  apprehensive about dying your hair you can just treat your hair to a deep condition by using examples such as Coconut oil , Argan oil and Macadamia deep repair  . Then heat in the microwave or place on dry hair and leave for 20 to 30 min bam new shiny hair !
 
Step two: Whitening your teeth now , there are so many homemade method's I haven't tried them and I don't know if they work however there are teeth whitening kits in you beauty store or if your really into teeth whitening you can visit you dentist and let them do their magic but white definitely adds a refreshed element to your look  .
 
Step three : Is kind of a big one this is to change your diet . Now you wont see drastic results like the rest . Your going to have to do this for a longer time and trust me you will see amazing results .  
 
Step four : Find a style icon link is here Tips For Re-inventing Your Style 
 
Step five : updating your accessories and that doesn't necessarily mean that you have go and spend a fortune on a brand new accessories wardrobe of  jewellery, handbags and shoes but that could just mean by getting a new bag or cleaning out your bag and updating go to accessories .
 
Step six : Getting coloured contacts . Now you can totally skip this if contacts doesn't float your boat skip this step . Now first thing that comes to mind when thinking about contact is wild looking abstract one which would perfect for fancy dress however , there are natural colours as well so play around with them and see which one suits you .
   
Step seven : is very simple and its just to change your hair part by just putting it to the any side or having a middle part whatever is your cup of tea you do you boo !
 
Step eight : Why not change your style 180 degrees . for example if you are a girly girl and you cute dresses add an edgy aspect to your outfit . I do this all the time ! just add a leather jacket and Chelsea boots .
 
Step nine : discover your new signature scent . I've been using the perfume for about three  3 years now which is Britney Spears perfume circus , to me this is everything sweet put in a bottle and I love it but, you can switch up your scent  which also changes your mood as well. So  have fun with it !  
 
Step ten:   I would hear what you think ten should be .
