Mock layer jumper dress; Next, Tights; New Look, Boots c/o Sarenza.
It must be at least two Autumns ago that I got this jumper dress and it’s my go-to for work as soon as the weather gets chilly; anything that is smart yet comfortable wins major brownie points in my book and it is perfect for days when I can’t be bothered to think about what I want to wear (that’d be most days then). Still relying on this boots for my stupid foot, I’m getting majorly fed up of looking at all my other shoes longingly and then at my big toe that refuses to straighten and ankle that still throbs, I did attempt to slip a pair of heels on the other morning but that scream it produced just wasn’t worth it!
Back to the working world today after enjoying a lazyily indulgent post-London recovery day off yesterday. I can’t complain, I might get stressed at times but I am yet to have a day where I don’t love what I do and not many people can say that!
How has your week been going? I can’t believe we are almost at another weekend!

Within my Cybercandy package of joy was tucked this little gem which made for a wishlist inducing breakfast read. When I saw a recipe inside for cookies using peanut butter m&ms I knew I HAD to make them; as luck had it I had recently found a huge bag of peanut butter m&ms that I had picked up some time ago and forgotten about (how I don’t know, those things are like crack!) I’ve shared the recipe above incase you want to give these a go too, and believe me, you should! I made a couple of amendments- my mixture was really runny so instead of making lots of small cookies I made two cookie cakes which I sliced straight from the oven as a fun treat for my colleagues at work. I also didn’t have enough plain flour so subbed 1oz of self raising with no ill effect…oh and I mixed the m&ms into the mixture rather than just dotting on top.
The result?

As mentioned, yesterday after work my Mum and I made the two hour journey up to London to attend the Laura Ashley Blog Birthday party where I FINALLY got to put the face to the names of some of my oldest blogging friends, and had a sneak preview of what is to come this festive season from Laura Ashley! There was sweet treats and special tea galore and live music by the gorgeous and talented Liz Lawrence.
The generous Laura Ashley team also laid on a wishing tree where you won a (gorgeous) prize to take home. I am treasuring my leaf necklace!
The event was wonderful, perfect hostessing and Mum and I were made to feel so very welcome. Everything was set out beautifully and I pretty much just want to buy Laura Ashley in general but if I had to pick three things then it would be those shown above; the beautiful round mirrored jewellery box, a bottle of the newly re-launched Laura Ashley perfume and these adorable little woodland creatures (especially the owl!)
Sorry for the super brief post, full coverage of the event + all my photos will be going on my blog facebook page by the weekend and I have a post planned ALL about the perfume too…it’s truly special.
A huge thank you to Laura Ashley for been so wonderfully kind, and a big HELLO to everyone I met.

I’m no chocolate purist; I’ll happily eat 90% dark chocolate chased down with the cheapest supermarket milk chocolate you can find; if it’s called chocolate and I have a craving…I’m there!
Milka, however has a special place in my heart (I hear chooclate snobs world over rolling their eyes). Up until a few years ago you couldn’t get in the UK and our only taste was if a school friend was kind enough to bring some back from a family holiday…and the year I went to Austria aged 17…well.
I was delighted when I was signed up to the Cybercandy blogger family and given free reign to chose a product to review; they stock all kinds of goods from the world over but I opted for the classic combination of Milka with Daim both something I enjoy alone, so togther they had to be pretty good!
Ohhh it WAS good! The smooth gentle sweetness and flavour of the Milka that so many love constrasted perfectly with the crunchy almost burnt texture of the Daim to bring chocolate eating harmony. The downside to this bar is that it’s addictive….one square is NOT enough (nothing short of the full bar is enough really). Thank goodness Cybercandy are well stocked.
What are your chocolate preferences? With so many varities which is YOUR favourite Milka? We saw some pretty tasty looking ones in Holland!
