Foodie Moment: Oreo Cheesecake (Non bake)

Oh Hey!

So I realise things like this aren't the norm on a beauty blog but I couldn't resist, who doesn't love a cheesecake let alone a oreo one?!? Obviously you can change the oreos for something else perhaps a favorite chocolate as long as you use a biscuit base, so here is the recipe. 

Ingredients:
Base:
* 150g Oreo Biscuit (Crushed)
* 75g Unsalted Butter (Melted) 

Filling: 
* 500g Full Fat Cream Cheese
* 300ml Chilled Double Cream
* 1/2 Cup of Icing Sugar (I use this as I feel it helps set the Cheesecake better)
* 6 Oreos (Crumbled)

(Optional) Decoration:
* Crumbled Oreo Biscuit
* Mini Oreos

Method:
1. Lightly grease a Spring form cake tin with softened butter and set aside.
2. Mix together the crushed Oreo with the butter, tip into the cake tin and using the back of a tablespoon or wooden spoon and press the base down. Then place into the refrigerator to chill.
3. Whilst the base is chilling it's time to make the filling. Place the cream into a mixing bowl and whisk until soft peaks have formed. Then whisk in the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Fold in the icing sugar and crumbled Oreos.
4. Pour mixture onto base and smooth over with a spatula. Decorate if preferred. Allow to set for a minimum of 6 hours.
5. Cut and enjoy!!!


Short and simple.
Thats all for now

Birthday Dress!



Oh Hey!

I feel like I've been MIA for a long time and for that I apologise, so to inform you all my birthday is in little over a month (7th of February to be exact) and so a killer dress to dance the night away is essential. I've been scouring the internet for weeks and finally I settled on something, not quite the dress form but instead a tailored jumpsuit from Missguided.  




I thought the brightness of the blue would make me stand out as the birthday girl, teamed with gold accessories adds class and definition. I also bought a belt to eventuate my waist all that is needed now is the heels and jewelry.  

I will definitely be making a post on my birthday weekend, including this completed clubbing look and my recycled dress outfit for dinner.

Mini Boohoo Haul FT. Outfit Ideas


Oh Hey!


So recently I was browsing the Boohoo website, as you do, and I came across this snazzy shift dress at a bargain £5 (apparently it has increased in price since the time I bought it). What did I do you ask? BUY IT! (and maybe a clutch to go with it... oops). Here's a few outfit ideas I put together with the dress and clutch.

So for a more dressy look I paired the dress and clutch with a pair of suede flatforms from Primark (a bargain at £12) you could also add a statement necklace if you feel particularly brave or just add red lips.


For a much more casual look I paired the dress and clutch with my pair of high top white converses (excuse the fact that they look grey, they may need washing). You could pair it with tights and a loose fitted blazer for a more slouchy appearance.


For the final look a more rock chick look I paired the dress and clutch with my heeled boots from New Look to give it a more edgy look. You could also pair it with a leather jacket and tights and backcombed hair.


Sorry about how short this post is, thought I'd quickly make it before work.

Shop Of The Week: Topshop




New year and the new season of clothes are in, is it too early to be excited about summer? I have a number of things to be excited about this year, I'm off to university soon and we have a big family announcement coming soon that I will tell you guys about when I can. Anyway my shop of the week is Topshop, and just a warning all the clothes here are in the petites section.

















This beautiful red velvet skater skirt is right up my alley, I already have amazing velvet leggings from Primark so this skirt would be an amazing addition to my wardrobe. Pair this causally with a cute t shirt and a pair of boots or style it up with a bralet and some heels. A steal at £32!

This cute crocodile patterned embossed leggings are cute and basic in anybodies wardrobe and at £22 it isn't to bad for a basic. Style up with a slouchy tshirt, heels and statement necklace. Style down with a cute jumper and flats.






I''m completely in love with Topshop shoes at the moment and these two caught my eye, these beautiful Chelsea boots (£42) are a great investment in any girls wardrobe. I missed Chelsea boots the first time they came round however it looks like I will have to purchase a pair of these bad boys definite key piece for a capsule wardrobe, style up or down.

Shock horror I don't really own any kind of sneaker shoes aside from 4 pairs of vans so these "Chukka Boots" (£32) are something that I feel the need to invest in. I don't have many days off work anymore so I don't really have many clothes to relax in let alone any shoes, these particular pair look easy to style for day or night.


So these are only a few pieces from the Topshop website, have you guys seen anything you like???
