OOTD | She's o lucky

So the days are getting darker, colder and the leaves are starting to fall. This does not mean you have to cover up what yo' mumma gave you! Dressing in jewel tones is my favourite and this year you can get your hands on something in every shape and style.

We automatically go for cosy jumpers and knits but why not try and midi dress and boots? It gives you a chance to whip out some leg just before winter hits but if you don't feel comfortable in showing those pins, then you can wear some tights. I got this dress from Topshop and I love it. It fits in all the right places and skims the parts I want to shadow. The colour is gorgeous and its simple enough to dress up or down and the click of a hat....tah dah!

The Autumn days aren't always as pretty as you rememeber summer to be, but I can't beat relaxing on my roof terrace with the wind in my hair and the views for miles wide. Its a breathtaking experience and one I will never take for granted. Make the most of everything, clouds and all because your living and whats better than that?

 I spent the weekend watching planes with my wonderful Grandad, which I got more into than I expected. It was wonderful to spend some quality time with him as well as get a little educated about what goes on in the sky. Just look at the kinds of photos you can get.

I'll leave you with these photos of me having the time of your life and a question. Do you make the most of your life? Your family, friends, home or even your belongings? Look how lucky you are.... Love Khrissie x

Quick & Easy Halloween Snacks

Happy pre-halloween everyone! Only a few days away and I was itching to get into the spirit and I love things like this. I normally bake and decorate with my sister but as we are miles apart I thought I would do it on my own and show you guys.

Seeing as there are not many days left until the day has graced us I thought I would create a couple of tasty snacks which are nice, easy and cheap for you all! To begin with I have some marshmallow pops for all of you. Its a super simple recipe and oh my! they are super tasty.

What you will need is: A pack of Marshmallows / A bar or two of white chocolate / Green & Red food colouring / Bamboo sticks or straws / Coloured tubes of icing / Hot chocolate sachets / White chocolate buttons / Popcorn / Eyeball sweets

Extras: Plastic cauldron / Spider / Table cloth

Step 1: Melt a bar of white chocolate in a bowl above a pan of boiling water

Step 2: Add in a drops of green food colouring into the melted chocolate until you have reached your desired colour

Step 3: To make eyeballs add a dot of the green chocolate on top of the marshmallow. Add on a white chocolate button then decorate with the icing pens, creating two circles to make the pupil. For the ghost all you need to do is add three dots of black to create a scared face.

Step 4: To make a Frankenstein pop you need to put the marshmallow on one of the sticks to make it easier to cover it with chocolate. Use a blunt knife and once covered in a even consistency of chocolate you smooth around the edges to help stop it dripping and to give the pop a neater edge. Repeat this step until all the marshmallows are covered and set them in a glass and pop it into the fridge for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Once the chocolate on the pops has set you can now decorate them how you like. Add to dots for eyes. A straight line or a zig zag for the mouth. Some lines for hair and some bolts on the side of the head, not forgetting the scar on the side of his head. Get your friends and family to join in too as it can be a lot of fun, and quite funny to see the finished results.

Step 6: You can either decorate the bottom of a jar with some Halloween sprinkles or you can make a 'Bloody Popcorn Cauldron' to go with it. To make this all you need to do is melt the other bar of white chocolate, add in some red food colouring to make it look like blood, then mix it into some salty popcorn to make it look all gross. I found some eyeball sweets which I used as hidden treats in the popcorn and worked really well. Then just add the mixture into the cauldron for the full effect and there you have a great it! A spooky centre piece for your table at Halloween! oooooooh!

Cauldron, Table cloth and Spider are from Poundland

If you are feeling a bit chilly on Halloween evening you can actually add the marshmallows into a hot chocolate for a quick tasty winter warmer. All the colours will mix and will add to the gruesome effect of old hallows eve!

I hope you liked some of my quick and easy ideas for some Halloween snacks. If you have any please let me know as I'd love to try them out. I have some cupcakes and biscuits coming later in the week so keep and eye out for some more creepy cooking tips coming your way....

Style | Modern Gothic

So as A/W sets in and the weather starts getting cooler, the new trends start appearing in the shops. I'm not a massive trend follower, I just wear what I like and end up getting a few pieces over the months that I see and end up realising there are certain trends I like.

Looking at whats coming up in A/W is always my favourite as they are my favourite months as I find I always feel comfortable and confident in warm but stylish clothing. I decide to embrace a new trend to see how I could style it as I want to get better at that so I took on the 'modern victorian' trend and make it my own in a way that I would wear it!

What I like about this trend is that its basically mixing lace with black textures which really appealed to me. So online I went and in my wardrobe I searched for clothes, to see what I could come up with and this is the final outcome. I ended up really loving the trend and I can't wait to get more pieces this season to start mixing my own girly/grunge looks which is the kinds of look I normally go for anyway.

ASOS / Pretty Midi Skater Dress  / Vintage Necklace / Belt

River Island / Coat

New Look / White chunky heels

I hope you like the look! Let me know if you want to style up any other trends?

What trends have you been loving lately?

What I Wore Wednesdays #BLFW

Happy Wednesday guys! Its mid-week already yay! So wednesdays are going to be when I post about fashion, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled each week for something new. Todays outfit is for Bloggers Love Fashion week #BLFW which I am attending this evening. It's a really great way to meet new bloggers and brands and you also get the chance to meet some fellow friends from Twitter. I'm excited to see whats in store so keep a look out for a post on it on Monday.

As it's bloggers fashion week, lots outfits are prepped in the hopes of creating an outfit you love! 

I wanted to dress for this transition period of summer to autumn so I thought mixing colours with monochrome would be the perfect way! I found this dress in Topshop the other week and I love it!

From the bold print to the pops of colour, it has ME written all over it! 

I have seen this style of shoe everywhere and if you have seen lots of my posts you would know I am addicted to my white chunky heels from New Look. While in Topshop, I found a pair which were £55 but knowing New Look have a great shoe section I thought I would have a look just incase. There at the bottom of the shelf were a few pairs of these left, I tried them on and fell in love. They are just as comfy as my white pair and they look cute too. New Look...I love you!

I paired the outfit with colourful nail polish and my new yellow clutch from Miss Selfridge and I was done. I am so happy with the outcome minus my pasty legs but I'm going to roll with it as I have no time to tan. To finish off the look I curled my hair with my new curling wand which is an absolute dream! A new post on that is coming soon so keep a look out on Saturdays when I post about beauty.

I cant wait to meet some of you at #BLFW

Catch you soon
