I'm writing this post while I'm feeling particularly peckish, so that may account for the inclusion of a cupcake and a giant cupcake mould. It's a bit like going shopping when you're really hungry - big mistake! However, my boyfriend and I are on the search for the perfect cupcake. We actually have criteria to mark our cupcakes, cake fiends/sad people that we are. I really should take more photos of the cupcakes we encounter, as there have been a fair few, but I can tell you that Tesco are actually in the lead at the moment with their Red Velvet cupcakes. They're not really true to 'red velvet' in that their sponge only has a tint of red in it, and the icing isn't made of cream cheese. However, for something ridiculous like £1.98 for 4 cupcakes, I definitely direct you to go and buy some as they are AMAZING! Also, this giant cupcake mould available from Firebox used to be a whopping £35!, which I just couldn't justify being a typically cuisine backward student. It's now £14.99, which is much more affordable, so I'm definitely going to have to buy it asap and make an absolute beast of a cupcake! 

I recently posted about my longing for a Christmas party to attend, and this is still playing on my mind. This Miu Miu little black number is gorgeous. The detailing is just beautiful and the more modest style cut of the top is lovelyl. It's on the LBD dream list, for sure. 

I'm trying to convince my boyfriend (and myself), that our upcoming two year anniversary really is an occasion that calls for a Yves Saint Laurent 'Arty' ring. Can you believe he doesn't agree?! I'm working on it. I think £115 for a piece of YSL is amazing and almost seems like a bargain in my warped mind. There are a few different styles, but I think rich purple/blue will go with more of my wardrobe than the others.

My current going out shoe crush lies with these little Asos numbers. I'm a real fan of block heels,  and these kind of have that going on, but they're slightly more sleek at the end. I hope that they will be much more comfortable than the stilettos I'm usually accustomed to wearing. 

Hope you enjoyed the post. Sometime this week I'll be receiving a gorgeous Asos dress and some flat, thigh high boots. My first ever purchase of flat, winter shoes that haven't arrived in a box with the label 'Ugg'. I can't wait. I seriously hope they're comfy!
