Halloween Cupcakes

 

 

Ingredients:

 

Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix

230ml water

8 tbsp vegetable oil

3 eggs

Meringue ghosts:

4 egg whites

115g caster sugar

115g icing sugar

Buttercream:

Cocoa powder

100g icing sugar

50g butter

Oreo biscuits

 

Firstly, we had to make the meringue as it takes the longest to prepare and bake. Beth (our friend) came round for the day so we decided to make ghost cupcakes, which is a great thing to do when the weather isn't great.

I got inspiration for this bake from pinterest which then took me to this blog.

The cupcakes came out better than expected and we all love the meringue ghosts!

Loafers-Next

 Coat-Next

Jumper-H&M

Skirt-ASOS

Scarf-Topshop

Boots-New look

In the early September we got contacted by an online prescription sunglasses and eyeglasses retailer, called Salt City Optics. They want to know what our fall essentials are so we thought we would do a post on our fall necessities!

 

1.) Sunglasses/glasses- there is nothing worse than being in a car with the bright sun in your eyes so sunglasses are an essential, to protect your eyes and for those unexpected. sunny days in the fall time!

2.) Coat- It gets really cold in Britain so a coat is a must have for fall!

3.) An adventurous streak is also a must have for Autumn because you will be soo bored in your house all day everyday. Adventure is needed because you can experience new things without being affected from the weather. Our example is going to Brighton!

4.) Dark lipsticks are a necessity because it just links with the season and is the best opportunity to wear it!

5.)A thick scarf is a life saver in the colder months, they double up as a blanket and scarf.

Autumnal Lips

  

Autumn is here which means time to bring out the dark lipsticks. Mac by far are my favourite for lipsticks because of the colour range they provide, is insane. The one pictured above is 'Dubonnet'  Another favourite for both of us is our Rimmel '107' Kate Moss shade, beautiful colour which is very popular. The Rimmel lipsticks are amazing for the price, they last a long time and are really pigmented. Milani 'Black cherry' reminds me of a Mac lipstick because the formulas are very similar to the amplified formulas from Mac. Liquid Lipsticks are another fave of mine, I find they do last a little bit longer then original lipsticks. I love my one from Stilla called 'Dolce' and underneath that I wear my 'Sore' lip liner from Mac. These two together remind me of a 90's lip which is not as intense as the other colours I love to wear in Autumn/Winter.

Styling Eat Sleep and Fashion

 

 

 Eat Sleep and Fashion (Caitlin) was having a little panic about not having an interesting wardrobe (even though she does.) I wanted to help Caitlin by styling her current wardrobe, to show she does have pieces that she can wear! Styling is something I want to do when I am older so this was kind of work experience for me. All of these outfits are my favourite as they are a little out of Caitlin's comfort zone, to give her inspiration of adapting to her style. I found styling Caitlin SO much fun which is making me want to make this into a series (using other people.) For these outfits I wanted to go for everyday looks but to glam them up a bit. This is shown with the gold (Whistles) clutch and the white dress, layered with a black (H&M) jumper.
