Outfit Post - Beyond Skin Purse

Today's outfit is dedicated to an extra special item on loan (sadly not mine to keep) from Beyond Skin - the beautiful Bella mini clutch zip purse!

Beyond Skin are a vegan friendly ladies wear fashion label producing shoes and boots that are ethically and environmentally friendly. And are now adding a great purse to their collection. I was lucky enough to be lent the beautiful Navy Bella Clutch. At £87 they are a bit pricy for a clutch or purse but the quality is brilliant and if you really want an item that is vegan friendly you do expect to pay a premium.
This is the outfit I wore this week for mine and Jon's 7 year get to gather anniversary.
Clutch: c/o Beyond Skin
Belt: Vintage from ebay
Bangle and necklace: gifts
Ring: Primark
Ok so the purse actually costs more than all of the rest of the outfit put together!
But I think as a special gift or just as a splurge item a Beyond Skin Purse is a brilliant idea



Has anybody else tried one of the Beyond Skin product?
Are you worried about the fabric and materials used in your clothing?
Do you seek out fair trade, environmentally friendly or vegan friendly items?

Outfit Post - New Mustard Skirt

Haven't had an outfit post (or any post for that matter) for a while. I've just been so busy lately juggling jobs and writing work sadly the blog was what had to take a back seat, and I think this will probably be the case for a little while yet while I try to figure out a pattern for everything.

But here is an outfit post from this week which I wore for some meetings with my editors.
I bought this skirt last week after spotting it online in the Peacocks sale for £12 then in store a few weeks later for just £7! Had to get it, and so glad I did as I have been wearing it all the time.
(sorry it's creased this was at the end of the day!)
Top: George @ ASDA
Skirt: Peacocks
Boots: Firetrap
Belt: Matalan
Bangles: Vintage
Earrings: Outfit
What do you think of mustard?
And do you think these boots work? My mum isn't keen on them together!

Recipe - Slow Cooker Jamaican Chicken - Kinda!

Haven't had a recipe post up for a while although I have been cooking quite a lot recently, so thought I would put last nights dinner up.

Now I am a bit of a make-it-up-as-I-go-along cook and this was a very make shift meal as I just wanted to use what I had in the cupboard and fridge. I did a quick search on My Fridge Food (great recipe site!) and got the general gist of a sweet and sour chicken and a jamaican chicken. Then I just kinda made the rest up - but as usual luckily - it was a huge yummy success. And I served it with Tesco's Lemon and Thyme Couscous.
This is a super easy and cheap recipe and low in calories (I think it works out as around 230-270 calories for the chicken, then however many extra for the couscous. The brand we use is around 230 if you share 1 pack between 2)

Serves 2-4

Ingredients
2-3 chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
Small tin of Pineapple chunks plus the juice
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Small tin of baby carrots
1 Yellow Pepper (cut into chunks)
2 garlic cloves or tsp of lazy garlic
2tsp clear honey
2tsp soy sauce

Couscous or rice to serve

Then all you have to do is chuck all the ingredients accept the tinned carrots into the slow cooker and put it on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. You can add salt and pepper to taste, although I don't use any in my cooking usually. Then just add the tinned carrots about 45mins before you intend to serve the food (or I am pretty sure they will just turn to mush!) and give it all a good stir.

Serve over rice or couscous.

You could add any number of veg to the dish or maybe some beans or potatoes to bulk it out a bit if you wanted.

Hope you enjoy - and leave me a comment if you try it out.

New Year New You Giveaway - Stonebridge Hair

Yes another giveaway aren't you ladies lucky. This time I am bringing you a prize to adorn your hair from Stonebridge Hair Accessories.

The amazing Melissa Hill who owns the company and runs the website sent me this Three Velvet Rose Hair band in the shiraz red colour and I am happy to say that it is absolutely beautiful in person. And made to such a high quality that I understand why their items are a little on the expensive side. Each petal is individually hand made and stitched on and the item looks so eye catching. I think they would be great for bridesmaids too.

Expect some outfit pictures soon featuring this hair band.
Up for grabs for one of you lucky ladies is one of these beautiful Portofino Crystal Barrettes worth £44 in your choice of colour. These are made with Swarovski Crystals in a number of beautiful jewel tones. As someone who wears her hair up a lot, especially for work, I love having beautiful barrette clips to help make more of a feature of a simple pony tail.
And below are some my other favourite items from the site.








So on to the giveaway!

The winner will be chosen at random and will win a Portifino Crystal Barrette in their choice of colour.
