Glamorous Disco Pants!


crop top - topshop/ bag - ebay/ disco pants - glamorous

 Im sure many of you have heard of Disco Pants, the wonder trousers that suck you in and look phenomenal at the same time. Their everywhere in the blogging world and I like many of you guys, I'm sure, have scrolled enviously through blog posts. As much as I loved the look of Disco Pants, I was never willing to fork out £74 at American Apparel for them. After some online searching I found that Glamorous sold Disco Pants for a £29.00!(link above)
  They're so similar to the American Apparel version, with the pockets at the back and fastening on the front, I can't see any difference! They really do suck you in and really show off your figure, and to top it off they're super comfy, and since I've got them I've pretty much lived in them. They're fast becoming my wardrobe stable, you can dress them down or add a pair of heels and wear them on a night out.  (Which is perfect for the colder nights). Im actually considering on stocking up in more colours! 

Thank you for all your wonderful comments and support! Yesterday I hit 100 followers which is brilliant! Every milestone counts in my eyes! Look out for a giveaway in the next few days!

Ebay Tote Bag!

Hey Lovelies,
 Ive been watching the 'Tote Bag Trend' for awhile now and been sitting on the side lines waiting for a cheaper alternative to spring up. Although I love the bags I couldn't justify spending £80 on Zaras version. So during a scroll through Ebay I found this bag for a fraction of the price! £4.98 to be precise! The only down side was having to pay £5.99 delivery as the bag was coming from China, but still £10.97 compared to £80 any day of the week! The link to the seller I used can be found here. As the bag was coming from China it did take awhile to get here, (22 days but nobodies counting) but when it did arrive I was pleasantly surprised.
 The bag is brilliant quality, made from faux leather its sturdy and durable. I wouldn't worry about over filling it to the point where it breaks, plus its a big bag which I'll be able to cram full with all my unnecessary items. The bag has the standard plaited handles which is a feature that first drew me to the bags.
 Another feature I love about the bag is the internal pocket which clips to the inside of the bag and can be removed. I hate having my valuable items floating around my bag and like to keep them separate, especially if I'm carrying drinks with me, so this is perfect.
 All round a brilliant bag, which I've used every day since I've had it. Thought I would share the bargain with you!

Thank you for all your support guys! I love all the comments and I'm at 99 followers eeeek! So look out for a giveaway soon!

Pizza : Parma Ham, Red Pepper and Mozzarella

Hey Lovelies
 Today my mum gave me free reigns with buying and cooking dinner so do I make something uber sophisticated and healthy? Nope! Pizzaaa! I haven't made pizza from scratch in years and I loveee making bread which is a bonus! I got the original recipe from here and tweaked it slightly. Enjoy!


Ingredients 
Makes 2 Pizzas 

For The Base 
300g Strong Bread Flour 
1tsp instant yeast
1tsp salt 
1tbsp olive oil 

For The Tomato Sauce 
100ml Passata (I just use a jar of pizza topping if I can't get this)
Basil 
1 Garlic clove 

For The Topping 
125g Mozzarella 
Grated Cheese 
Handful of Cherry Tomatoes
1 slice Parma Ham per pizza
1 Red Pepper 
1 Red Onion

(Experiment with anything you have in the cupboards for different toppings)

Method 

- Preheat the oven to 240C/fan 220C /gas 8 

- Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and mix together, I find it easiest with your hands until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. 

-Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like if you prefer thick crust pizza.

- Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste. Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base. Or if like me you couldn't get it whack out the jar of pizza topping ready! 

- If you've let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large circles, about the size of a pizza tray, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. 

- This is where the recipe got confusing so my edit is, put the baking tray/pizza trays in the oven to heat them up BEFORE you put the pizza on them, this way your base will cook completely and go nice and crispy.

- Smooth the sauce onto the bases and add your cheeses and the rest of the toppings, place onto the pre heated baking that and bake for 8-10 minutes or until nice and crispy and voila!










Thank you guys for reading, and I hope you don't mind more foodie posts! Until next time!
