Leather, Nutella and a new header.

Another 'NEED!' this fall: Leather, and particularly a leather skirt.

Tomboy-vintage-y on the left, Buisiness-ladylike on the right.

I'll just type the recipe here.

Makes 8-10 Cake Roll Lady Finger Nutella Muffins.

• 3 Eggs
• 65g Sugar
• 80g Cake flour
• 20g Butter, melted
• 40g Nutella
• 9 30g Melted chocolate
• 2-3 Drops vanilla extract
• 35-50 lady fingers
• 30-100g melted chocolate
• Whipped cream

The cake

Sift cake flour and put baking parchment on a baking tray, ±25x30cm (Or even better; a Swiss roll tray).

Mix eggs and sugar for 7-10mins, make sure there are no air-bubbles in it anymore.

Add baking powder in three separate additions, use a spatula. Don’t deflate the batter.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract, fold with the spatula until it’s well blended.

Bake for 10-15mins, make sure the batter won’t get too dry. Use a skewer to check if the cake is done. If it comes out clean, your cake is good.

Remove the sponge cake from the tray, keep the parchment underneath the cake.

Cover the sponge cake with a towel or a plastic bag to keep it moist and let it cool down.

Remove the parchment and put the cake on a new parchment, putting the side with the ‘crust’ down. Spread with 40gNutella, or 30gmelted chocolate.

Roll the cake by lifting up the parchment, Place the rolled cake seam-side down.

The lay-out. (You can also buy a ready-to-eat cake roll and save tons of time.)

Slice the cake in pieces of ±3cm. And put one of them on a clean piece of baking parchment.

Melt the chocolate and dip ½ of the lady fingers in it. Use the rest of the melted chocolate to spread the outside of the cake roll and place the lady fingers against it.

Use a spatula to remove the cake with the lady fingers from the parchment, so the chocolate spill that comes dripping underneath the lady fingers won’t come with the cake. Serve with Whipped cream, ice cream or leftover melted chocolate on top.

And for the banner, I used:

A: Camilla Skovgaard heels, Miu Miu boots, Cutler and Gross glasses, Nixon watch.

D: Givenchy heels, Marni broche, Isabel Marant feather earrings, Monica Vinader earrings.

H: Miu Miu belt, Alexander Wang boots, YSL earrings, Tory Burch flats.

I hope you like it.

It's Summer,

Where's the sun?

I've got detention. Grr.

I made some summer 'essentials':

Striped shirt, Loafers, Swimsuit, Boxy coat, Sunglasses, Oversized watch, Oversized cuff, Raffia tote, Striped dress.

And I made some gifs for MSN/whatever.

  

FAVES.

At This Moment.

Not really because of this fall's season, but more like an over-all look at the collections I've seen.

Balenciaga Summer 2011

And you know my obsession for Prada, but I feel so 'normal' when I say one of the most famous brands is one of my favorites...

Wrapup.

Oh my, I'm such a bad blogger.

I'm just tired and not feeling like doing a thing. And I'm still disappointed by the fall collections, so there isn't much fashion in me.

I'll tell you 'bout my week.

Well, this was last, last week actually, I made this for a friend. The text says 'Congratulations, name' And it are all pieces of chocolate. And underneath it is also chocolate.

And I went shopping with my aunt, buying this bag, it's plastic, but it's square-ish and it feels nice and I like the top. (It forms like a cylinder, omg I love that word.) And it was cheap (: Sorry for the bad quality.

And I drolled over these:

By Reed Krakoff. I think he's going to be one of my favorite designers.

I just love the quirky simplicity.

And I made a new meal. I'm sorry for being more into 'creating' food than I'm into fashion atm. I'm so stubborn for letting one season ruin my fashion appetite.

And I fell in love with this Givenchy ad.

Via.

Jaquelyn Jablonski, pthotgraphed by Willy Vanderperre. I don't really like the model, or the way the advertorial is looking, I like the composition of the make-up, the basic typefront and the colours in the picture. The striking dark blue VS the soft pink, bloodred and vanilla-ish yellow.

Oh, and I've got a new floor (As you can see in the bag-picture) and new walls and two new lamps and I love it. (:

I'll try to post more, I promise!

Munch, munch.

I like the sound that word makes...

First of all: My favorite bags this season.

Source, Source, Source,

The cheapes is "just" €650,00, the most expensive €2.200,00.

(And the smalles one is the most expensive...)

And a new week of outfits.

Which I think is going to be really hard.

Junya Watanabe, A.L.C., Topshop,

Topshop, Topshop, Topshop,

Mulberry, Prada, Miu Miu,

Topshop, Topshop, YSL, Miu Miu.

The first outfit and I already got stuck.

It's too simple. But combinating all those stripes is hard...

Stop Calling...

Laldieladielaa, For some reason I've got Lady Gaga's/Beyoncé's "Telephone" stuck in my head. Annoying.

But whatever, yesterday I made a new background for my mp.

And some amazing pictures about food ♥:

And today's outfit:

Lazy Sunday Pt.II

H&M, Others.

 

 My Nails last week. (Birds that look like turtles...)

THESE SHOES ARE AWESOME. (Yeah, Dûhh, they are McQueen) They are so over-the-top. But they don't look comfortable, and are not my style. I would love to see someone wearing these. (Those someones aren't called Lady Gaga)

DUNGAREES

Sounds like some kind of kangaroo.

This morning, I found out that designing dungarees is pretty hard.

(Yes, I know she isn't wearing a top, but a top underneath it looked too gardener-ish, but everything is covered, right?

And I found out the challenge I made for myself is a little too easy to be a challenge. (Note to myself: Pick less clothes next time)

A WEEK

This week I'll try to make an outfit out of these clothes, one outfit for every day of the week.

Day One:

Hmm. Image turned out a little small.

Chic, ladylike, little schoolgirl, early spring.

Oh, and today's Daily Duo is jaw-dropping:

Ollie Henderson, Aussie, 21 (Looks 12), Doll-face and awesome eyes, because I don't know what colour they are. Ice-y champagne?

I like models who are on the edge of creep/cute
