5 iconic pieces
Take five iconic pieces, as championed by five legendary stars, for timeless look you'll love and wear forever.
Take a mans shirt and belt it & you have one of the key shapes of last century.A full- skirted staple in the 40's and 50's, it was slimmed down and unbuttoned to more sensual proportions by the 60's. And never seems to go out of style.
This classic outwear has long been a staple. First for military in the 1800's. All the biggest style icons new that trench was statement piece.
Faded or deep indigo, slouchy or skinny, there's no doubt that denim is basic ingredient in every woman's wardrobe. But the one shape that's seems eternally in vogue is the flare. Dressed up or down this cut is flattering to any woman's shape.
It was former ballerina Audrey Hepburn who first teamed ballet pump with jeans chic, but comfy day wear. Since Kate Moss reintroduced the look almost a decade ago, women worldwide have been rocking it.

Boat-necked striped shirts were first worn by French sailors, then Coco Chanel, here at her house in La Pausa, France in 1930, introduced the sailor shirt to women in 1917. From Brigitte Bardot to Alexa Chung, fashionistas have consistently worn the Breton because it works just as well shredded jeans as with a posh necklace and its effortless chic is hard to beat.

Valentine's truffles and cupcakes
For this Valentine's Day I made small edible gifts for my Mr. It was small gesture that shows how much I love him, because he so love dark chocolate truffles and cakes. Yeah, he have sweet tooth :) Of course I could buy all those things, but isn't it much better to know that these was specially hand made for You by your love.
I took some quick snapshots to show You my cooking outcome. I must admit it wasn't so difficult at all and everything tasted sooooo good.
I made sushi as well, but I'm sure that You know how to make them.
Chocolate Truffles
Makes 20
100ml whipping cream
350g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
100g icing sugar, sifted
60ml whiskey, warmed
100g cocoa powder, for dusting
Method:
Line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
Bring the cream up to the boil in a saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate pieces.
Whisk until smooth, then whisk in the icing sugar.
Pour in the warm whiskey and whisk again until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, cover with cling film and chill for about 6 hours until set.
When the mixture is set, dust a plate and your hands with cocoa powder.
Divide the chocolate mixture into 20 equal portions - about the size of a walnut - roll into balls in the palm of your hand.
Roll the balls in the cocoa powder and leave to firm up the in the fridge.
Before serving, place the truffles in ‘petit four’ cases.
Tip:
An easy way to ball the truffles is by using a melon baller dipped in hot water.
The mix does not have to be whisky-based, you can use a variety of other alcoholic options such as rum or flavoured liqueurs. Alternatively you can or drop the alcoholic element completely if you wish.
Blueberry Cupcakes
Serves 12
180g plain flour
60g sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
55g melted butter
175ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon rind
Juice of a lemon
170g blueberries
1 tbsp poppy seeds
Frosting:
45g soft butter
100g icing sugar
100g cream cheese
¼ scraped vanilla pod
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200oc / gas 6
Grease a 12 cup muffin tin, or use paper cup cake cases.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and sugar into a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs then add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and lemon rind. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture stir with a spoon until the ingredients are just combined, then fold in the blueberries, poppy seeds and lemon juice.
Spoon the mixture into the cups, leaving at room temperature for them to rise.
Bake for around 20-25 minutes (until the tops spring back) then leave to cool for 5 minutes in the tray before turning out. Leave to cool completely before adding the frosting,
To make the frosting, simply beat together the soft butter with the icing sugar, then beat in the cream cheese and vanilla seeds.
To make chocolate hearts, simply melt some dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water, cool to room temperature and put into a fine holed piping bag. Pipe heart shapes onto a sheet of grease proof paper then set in the fridge. When hard, carefully peel off the shapes.
Smooth the frosting over the top of the cupcakes and garnish with a chocolate heart.

These lovely gifts I got from my man!
These adorable earrings he hid from me under my pillow, so I could find them only when I'm gone go sleep. I had so big surprise and joy. He is such a sweety. Love You babe so much!
I hope You had an amazing Valentine's Day as well!

scarf & clutch
For ages I was looking for this look alike fabulous and super stylish scarf. I'm kind a prudent about this leopard pattern trend. I like leopard print in accossories, but I'm still not certan about clothing. I love to see how other fashionistas fully rock this trend, but I'm taking it little by little.
I wasn't looking for new clutch bag, but when I saw this one, I just couldn't leave it. And what was so an amazing? It was on sale.

Ballerina Chic Storm
With the highly received movie The Black Swan, it was inescapable that ballet inspired fashion would hit hard.From the runways to the red carpets, ballet inspired fashion is turning up everywhere and it's easy to achieve, can be very flattering. This look embodies one of the most glamorous, elegant and beautiful forms of dance and luckily you don’t have to be a ballerina to try it out. You can sport a subtle ballet inspired fashion look with a few key pieces or go full out fabulous.
photo from style.com"Gilles Mendel has prima ballerinas on the brain. Earlier this summer, he designed the costumes for the New York City Ballet's production of Call Me Ben; then he shot his Resort lookbook in the dance studio; and now his Spring collection finds him back at the barre."

Lust / call me old-fashioned
Yeah, call me old-fashioned, but I still want all those things. Even if I had to look forward to Spring I can't, because it's still so cold, rainy and even in Summer Ireland is not the warmest place, quite chilly , so You can still rock leather pants, wedge ankle boots and some feminine blouse.
It's so hard to get perfect black jeans. I never had before black jeans, don't know why, but I always had dark blue and once even orange. Lol. Yes! It was so, so long time ago and then it was cool. At least I hope so.
What kind a lust You have?

stay cool
This is last summer picture which I found by accident and decided to post because it never had been posted.
I love these pants even if my boyfriend is not on the same page as me, but it doesn't stop me from wearing them.
Do You have something in your wardrobe that doesn't like your other half as You do?
