Bunnies, Butter Icing and Beautiful Buns

Another Sunday and another decorating lesson from my mum! She decided she'd teach us some piping techniques this week so Susie made the buns the night before and my mum decided we'd practise Easter ideas as we want to throw an Easter party this year! We made some lovely bright colored butter icing for the top of the cakes and cut out little lambs, bunnies and ducks and piped them with some icing too, I loved making the lambs fluffy! Susie's boyfriend even came over for a bit and had a go at some piping, he actually was better at piping the tiny little whiskers on the bunnies than we were! And you know we had to have some fun with the leftover icing too!

Outfit Of The Day: Pancake Breakfast

Just an outfit I threw on quickly when I woke up this morning so I could go and grab some breakfast with my mum, I had some very yummy pancakes with syrup! This jacket has had so many outings this winter and the LC top is one of my favourite pieces I've bought from her Kohl's line!
Susie is coming round later and we are gonna be doing some more decorating so check back to see what sort of mess we made this week!

Stacey's Smiles :)

I can't believe another week has gone by again, January is flying by, just one week left! So here are the things keeping me smiling this week!

I'm a huge CSI fan, I watch all three versions of it and the new seasons of CSI and CSI:NY have just started here, the only thing I miss is Grissom, it's not the same without him! Glee season 2 also just started and it was the Britney episode this week! I have loved Britney Spears forever and the episode didn't disappoint! And not forget Grey's Anatomy has just started back as well! So many good series all starting at once!




I've ordered a few things this week for some craft projects I've got in mind!


I also ordered these boots from Urban Outfitters after seeing Amber post them many times over on her blog and Anna Kendrick looking super cute in them(although I think Amber rocks them better)! Plus they went on sale for $29.99 and get an extra 10% with 'take10' making them just $26.99

Deena & Ozzy Tread Boots
These yummy little Malteaster bunnies are back in store and they're one my favourites! YUM


And this year Aero have made bubbly lambs so i picked up one of these to try


And finally I went for a job interview today so I have my fingers and toes crossed that i get it!

My Everyday Jewelry Box

I thought I'd share with you the pieces of jewelry I reach for every morning! I have a lot of jewelry pieces I mix with all of these, it's always fun creating new looks by just using different pieces of jewelry!

There are two things I never leave the house without! They are this ring I got in Amsterdam from Gassan Diamonds when i went with my mum in 2009 and my One of a Kind silver hamsa bracelet.


Then I normally have on one of these two necklaces! They are the Jennifer Zeuner mini horizontal cross necklace in silver and the Me&Ro Fearlessness slate necklace in gold. I also added the little gold feather charm from the Make a Wish Dogeared necklace I was gifted a few years ago! I wore that necklace everyday until it wore off and then purchased the Me&Ro one a few months later but still wanted to keep the little feather with me!

                                     

And 9 out of 10 times I'm wearing a watch and it's one of these two! The silver DKNY was a birthday gift quite a few years ago now (I think back when I was in high school) and it was my go to watch until for Christmas this year I purchased the Michael Kors one from Christmas money from my Grandad!


And then I mix and match all my other jewelry around them! I especially love rings and I'm normally wearing a couple more, at the moment at least one of them is from this four


I'm always looking for new ways to store/display my jewelry and a couple of years a go I got this metal heart which I'm hanging some of my costume necklaces from, mixed in with some postcards! I might do a post soon on some of my jewelry storage! If you have ideas please share them, I'd love to hear them!
