#39 Make My Home, a H&M Home!
When I think of home inspiration and decoration, I have never thought “Hey, lets look in H&M!” but this has changed since the most recent catalogue dropped through my door last week! I am impressed & in love, but also upset that I no longer have a home to decorate. However I have started collecting stuff for when I have my own place. It all gets boxed up and stored for when the time comes. Anyway, in case you haven’t seen H&M’s S/S13 home collection, here are my favourite bits! Glittery Placemat £6.99 // Bird Patterned Duvet Cover £29.99 // Book Curtain £12.99Cherry Blossom Guest Towels (2 Pack) £6.99Pink Canvas…

Weekly Wardrobe — Minnie, Lace & Victorian Boots Oh My!
I really wanted to blog last night but I was so tired I just went to bed. I’ve been really stressed and emotional this week so it was nice to pop my pjs on, get into bed and watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch on youtube (yes I am that cool!) However today, I wanted to introduce a new part to What Amy Did Next called Weekly Wardrobe. Rather than doing individual posts about what I’ve worn over the past week, I thought it would be nice to gather all my outfits into one post under the title Weekly Wardrobe. Of course if there is a special occasion where I have…

#17 Fashion Foreword
So this is the first ‘my own style’ post. I’m a bit nervous, mainly because I have no one to photograph me all artsy and I only have a crappy digital camera (or my iPhone if I can’t find my camera) so even if on the rare occasion I think I look good, the camera tells me I look like crap. I’m sure that’s just a standard woman thing though! Without further ado, here are some outfits I’ve worn over the past few weeks, along with an occasional face of the day. I work four out of seven days, so on those days I usually only wear a leggings and…

#6 Herman the German Day 10
White Chocolate Chips, Cinnamon & Apples, my flavouring for Herman Today was the Herman the German Friendship cake finale. I’d spent ten days carefully caring for him, following the instructions, researching the perfect flavouring for him and it came down to this afternoon when I added the final ingredients and baked him… he survived and he tasted delicious! But first, a recap of the past five days… Days Five – Eight As you can see, he continued to bubble and you can see the rim around the glass dish where he grew over night and then shrunk away when it came to stirring. My mum wasn’t best pleased at how…

#4 Herman the German Day Four
On day four Herman is hungry! As of yet, I haven’t killed the Herman cake mix! He’s still happily bubbling away. Whenever my sister comes to visit the first thing she does is lift the towel and check on him (she’s dreading day nine when I plan to pass some onto her, she struggles to cook a frozen pizza let alone look after a cake for 10 days then bake it!) He has our kitchen smelling of yeast and sometimes in the morning this turns my stomach! Never mind, I’m looking forward to eating him in another six days. He has been pretty uninteresting the previous two days, just rising…

#3 Herman the German Day One
Guten Tag Herman! I had an interesting day today because I was lucky enough to meet Herman. You’re probably asking yourself “who the hell is Herman?” which is the exact question I asked myself when my cousin’s fiancée Inca text me this morning to tell me she had “Herman the German” for me to look after. Herman the German is a sour dough Friendship cake which you pass around to family and friends (which in my opinion is a million times better than those stupid chain mail letters we used to do as kids). You must nurture him for ten days before dividing him into four, passing three parts onto…
