Philanges.

Hey guys!
Hope everyone's got some fun and Christmassy plans for the weekend! I'm heading home to my Mum's to decorate the tree and (hopefully) eat a yummy Sunday dinner...after a no-doubt boring and busy day at work on Saturday, that is! Today I'm wearing my new wolf t-shirt I got from New Look whilst finishing my Christmas shopping the other day;

A close up view of my new leggings;

This was my nighttime outfit yesterday (we ate Christmas dinner early then went home to change!), with ym new leggings and my ancient asos shoes which I finally have the heel-wearing skills to wear without crippling myself (also thanks to memory foam insoles, though I will say this; they do flatten and wear down after several wears!);

If these pictures aren't the greatest quality it'd because I was rushing to get back out and to the cocktails! We also happened to invent the greatest drinking game known to man, the Middle Name Game; firstly, everyone must learn each others' middle names (those without middle names are christened Philange or any other humourous pseudonym), this in itself can be amusing! Once the game has started all players must refer to themselves and all others by their middle names and by no other name, the penalty for breaking this is, of course, a chilli flavoured vodka shot. The game ends when the shots run out (we started with six and since you ask, yes I did one - though it wasn't chilli, lucky me!) or when you're all so wasted gets too hard...
My daytime outfit was actually also quite dressy, my Topshop lace dress and vintage cardigan (you can see the deatil on it better here);

This is turning into a really long post!

I also asked if you guys wanted the shortbread recipe and someone said yes so here it goes!

You will need:

2 oz caster sugar

4 oz unsalted butter

6 oz plain flour

You can actually use any measurments for this recipe as long as it follows the 1:2:3 ratio of sugar:butter:flour, if that's easier!

You'll need to pre-heat your oven to 180 c and pre-grease a baking tray. Then, cream the suagr and the butter together until they turn paler (I totally recommend softening, but not melting, the butter in the microwave first!). Then seive in the flour and mix by hand to form a soft dough. Shape into small discs (or anything you like, really) and bake until golden brown, whish usually takes around 10-15 minutes. Place on a rack to cool and sprikle with caster sugar (or coat in melted chocolate!).
