Spinach Slices | Food


So for luch I was experimenting a little with different flavours and I came across a cheese on toast that I fell in love with. 


This is the spinach, ham and cheese on toast.
Ingredients:

-2 pieces of toast
-Ham 
-Handful of spinach 
-Cheddar cheese 

Fist I lightly grilled the pices of bread so that they won't become soggy when I add the toppings.

The I added a pice of ham to each piece of bread and grilled for 1-2 minutes. 

Once that was done I added the washed spinach and let them become soggy on the bread before adding the cheese. 

You can go crazy on the spinach or tone it down depending on your taste. 

The. It was time for the cheese I took a handful of the cheese and sprinkled it on the bread on top of the ham and spinach. Them I let it melt and it was ready to serve. 

Hope you liked this quick post on what I had for luch! Are you going to have a go?

Bedroom Bits | Desk

So I have been doing a room makeover recently, which is still on going but my bedroom has defiantly improved a lot.
Whenever I redo my bedroom there isn't really a set theme I am ever going for. Sometimes things just happen by chance that I love! Although that being said I wanted it to be quite elegant, not too girly and organised.
One idea I had was to put a shelf on top of my desk to maximize desk space and add a little something to the plain walls.



On the shelf I put ornaments to help add to the theme in my bedroom. I decide that the wall was still too plain so I made some butterfly's and stuck the on the wall - I still can't decide whether I like them or not! What do you think? 

On top I have a board where I put notes and to-do lists to help keep me organised. (which is a department that needs a lot of help in!) 


To create the board I just did a quick DIY. I used some twine and washing pegs to create the line for my notes and I stuck them to the white board with blue tack. I love my board because it help me get organised as I can put to-do lists or notes on it. 

The actual desk is very plain, it only has a pencil pot on it, I like it this way because I feel as if I am more organised and it helps me feel in control - therefore making me work harder (not really but I like to think it does)

I hope you liked this little tour of my desk area. Would you like to see the rest of my room?

Friday Finds | H&M

This Friday I decided that my wardrobe needed an update.

So I went clothes shopping , well actually I went online shopping and I didn't buy anything. So online browsing I went. 

There wasn't really a particular style I was looking for, maybe something a little more mature, slightly basic and of course sleek. The obvious place to go was zara but I wanted to try something new. I decided to have a quick look on the H&M website to see whether any of their clothes caught my eye. I wasn't expecting much but I was definitely proven wrong!  


These were the first things that caught my eye, a pair of girlfriend jeans they are under £30.

What I love about these jeans is that they're not figure hugging whcih is something I like. The jeans are slim fit which this creates the illusion of a slimmer, longer, leaner legs. which is what we all want...right?














Another amazing find was this gorgeous floral print jumper.

As the weather is getting colder I think it's time for me to have a look at jumpers.  I love the pattern on this and I think that a pair of girlfriend jeans would help make it look more modern. I like how there is a subtle hint of mustard yellow which adds some brightness but its not to over powering. But out of everything of all is the the price. It's only £6.99!

I am only going to mention one more piece of clothing, cause otherwise well be here all day!
These shoes are probably top of my list! I'm in love! They add a nice bit of heel which is always nice and have an accent rose gold zip on the from making the boot look much more decorative.With the top two pieces of clothing it will make the outfit slightly more edgy and casual.  For the price of £29.99 you can't get much better quality. 

I am definitely heading over to H&M soon... are you?
