It's been a while...

So I've finally got round to blogging again. There's a lot happened in the past month with Christmas, New Years and Birthdays too. Rather than bore you all with the ins and outs, I thought I'd do more of a photo diary, starting with this amazing cake made for my best mates sisters 18th birthday!

I've got a really bad snowball addiction forming! I've had one every night this past week!

To finish, a picture of me in my new onesie, bought as a Christmas present off a good friend. I always complain that I'm cold (apart from when I'm wearing this!)

Last month I got my iPhone 4S, so with that I've jumped on the Instagram bandwagon. If anyones on it, follow me @jenkiln :)

I can't get over how great the picture quality is! It's great having a backup when I'm not carrying my heavy SLR around.

Pressies!

My Mum just got back from a trip down to Cornwall and brought me back a couple of bits + bobs. The first one is the Yves Saint Laurent colouring book, which is really sweet! It's a little pocket book full of beautiful prints and patterns. The designs are so unique.

Secondly, is some Oreo Jell-o! I can honestly say I've never tried real Jell-o before, even after numerous trips to the States. I mean, I've had jelly obviously but I'm guessing it's not quite the same? 

Well this is more of a pudding than a normal jelly. It's sets in just 5 minutes whereas jelly feels like it takes forever to set! 

Lets just say it tastes a lot nicer than it looks!

A very cheesy (and cringey) picture from the Tinie Tempah gig last night! Had such a fun night despite being elbowed several times. Another bonus is I managed to smuggle in my hip flask, so I only had to buy one extortionately priced coke to mix with it! Extremely cheap night!

I decided to wear my sheer blouse which I'm really thankful for, as it was ridiculously hot in the arena! 


Thursday, I'm going to watch the Christmas light switch on in Manchester. I've missed it every year so nothing's stopping me this time! I hope it's not a let down now ;)

I can't feel my feet

So Bonfire night was fun. Me and some friends went to a local firework display. We lit sparklers and drank mulled wine. I took some photos of the fireworks which didn't come as good as I'd hoped, but it was enjoyable all the same.

This would have turned out nice if it didn't have my mates head peeking in the corner!

I found a horse friend... y'know, as you do.

And it's that time of year again, when Starbucks bring back my much loved gingerbread latte. And it was buy one get one free, so it's the perfect excuse :) I also bought a pack of their Christmas blend which I've yet to try!

Candlelight

So this is my Halloween pumpkin, well a joint effort with my friend! They sold out when I got down to the supermarket so I was a little disappointed! The wig was my mates from the other night! She's a bit creepy looking... I think it's the eyelashes ha.

Anywho, I decided to make good use of my 25% off American Apparel voucher in last weeks Grazia. Couldn't resist buying a stars+stripes print tote bag. I have about a million totes, but none as good as this! I also got a cute burgundy top. I'm just about over the fact I used to wear it everyday for school, so I can finally wear burgundy again... or maybe I should call it 'wine'... yeah, that doesn't seem so bad now.

I now have a stars+stripes canvas holdall, tote bag, jeans, jumper, crop top, knickers, socks, trainers... I think this is bordering on obsessive.

It really bugs me when the clocks go back. I hate going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. Also, it makes you feel like you should be in your pj's by like 7 o'clock! Or maybe that's just me and I'm getting old. I do love my panda pj's though, I feel like they were made for me. And it's nice curling up with a cup of tea in front of the tv with some candles burning in the background. xo

Happy Halloween!

Think I have finally recovered from Saturday fancy dress night out! Having only had about 4 hours sleep the night before due to a nasty eye infection then spending the day in work looking ridiculously lob sided with my freaky red, puffy eye, I'm surprised I had any energy left.
Anyway, all in all, it was a really good night!


I took a few pics before going out...

My mate idolises Nicki Minaj - hence the outfit! I think there was 2 pillows used to create the arse!

My slight obsession with baseball decided my outfit! Was such a nice change to go out in comfy clothes and trainers instead of heels! Made dancing a lot more fun.

My bf decided to go as Mario. Which went down quite well, turns out everyone wants a photo with Mario! 

We met with some friends, who were dressed as normal Halloween characters like zombies and pirates, complete with fake blood and messy hair. We decided to do Halloween American-style instead haha.

Now I need to dash to the supermarket to find a last-minute pumpkin and buy some sweeties! Better get deciding how to carve it too. xo

I miss summer!

In other news, I got my Tinie Tempah tickets in the post today!

They were a birthday present for a friend, which I ordered in March! I was beginning to think they were never gonna come.

Oh and I made the most delicious spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup! A definite must as the days are getting shorter. Which I will be adding to my Moleskine recipe book (geek).

Now I'm off to go for some food and watch Paranormal Activity 3!
Sorry for the short post! xo

Fallen Leaves

Another weekend has passed by! I do love Sundays though, so nice and chilled. I'm just waiting for my lemon drizzle cake to cool so I can ice it, whilst watching Ace of Cakes :)

I saw these halloween themed oreos in the supermarket and couldn't resist! I'm super excited for halloween. I've bought my pumpkin, but I'm not sure how I'm going to carve it yet! Got a week to find some inspiration.

Few pics from last year! (I'm not sure why I've got a cat face, it was no fancy dress occasion. Possibly too much punch!) I have this tradition with my best mate, where we always carve our pumpkins together and light sparklers ect. Child at heart I know! xo
