Birthday presents!

My birthday was a little while ago (mid-october) but due to fund rearranging I only got my present now :P Well that's not entirely true, I also got my mom's old iPhone 3GS :) After many many months of looking for these, and I mean EVERYWHERE, even weird chinese sites,  the tan Serena Dr. Martens just appeared in Schuh, just in time for my birthday! I was sooo happy! :D

They are so comfy :)

A while back I put up the recipe for a lemon tart. I made it recently and it was amazing! So delicious! Mine did look a little lumpy because the recipe tells you to sieve the mixture and I didn't have a sieve, so the lemon zest was still in it (but I think that made it extra delicious). So if you're wondering what you should make next definitely try that recipe, it's very easy :)

Marzipan swirl ice cream

The more I look at it, the more this blog is centered on food than art and clothes... Oh well :P

So recently, my friend Rachel made battenburg (It was the best I have ever had!) which renewed my long lost love for marzipan. So when I stumbled upon this recipe, I started to drool (only a bit... and in an extremely attractive way)

You can find the recipe here:

 If anyone around Dublin makes some, gimme gimme! I don't have an ice cream maker :(

Potato croquettes

I eat potato croquettes all the time, in my house we call them potato mans... not sure why, but I'm pretty sure it was because I called them that...

Anyway, these look delicious

Lemon tart

I love lemon tart but it isn't something you find often. I found this recipe today and I really want to make it :)

Ice cream

So, during the short sunny spells we've been having here in Dublin I have been craving ice cream. I was in town last week and found pistachio gelato (italian for ice cream)! I love pistachio ice cream! It is my favourite but you can't find it that often in Ireland. As you can imagine I was very pleased :)

Look at it, isn't it delicious?

My new handbag...s...

So, I had gone to tkmaxx 2 months ago looking for a new handbag to go with my tan boots -_- getting the exact shade was not easy... But I found a Nica bag (they are my favourite because the lining is so pretty!) for €35 that was originally €93! Super happy!

Yesterday, I was in Topshop with some moderate cash and I found another Nica bag for €18 (student discount included :P)! I am on a handbag roll!

As my sister said, now I need to find shoes to go with this bag... It's a vicious cycle :P
