PORRIDGE N PICKLES OFFICIAL BLOG

Disclosure: So this little change did occur yesterday but I had already decided to address something else in yesterdays post so I left it until today :)
With the new year that has just rolled in (yes, I know it was three months ago BUT in relation to how long a year is, i'd say it has still just rolled in ;)) I thought it was about time I mixed it up around here, and so I swapped in the pink, white and grey for a more neutral blue, green and white colour scheme (I mean, 13 does mean change, right?). I happen to like the new look a lot more than the last and I think it suits the blog a lot better. Along with the new colour scheme, the side bar has also swapped sides BUT everything is still there with the new addition of a translate option and a few extra buttons, so you will still be able to find everything. I've also added in a 'sponsor' page which can be seen in the navigation bar up there ^. Here you can take a look at sponsor options for both shops and blogs as well as a sponsor swap option. The 'partner' page now also includes Porridge n Pickles sponsors, affiliates and friends and the '♥' page is now what I am currently loving instead of the blogs I love! (phew... I think i've got everything.)
So... What do you think of the new look? :)

Pinch, punch first of the month! A little late I know, it's meant to be done before mid-day. It's now 1:12pm here. Here at Porridge n Pickles we have welcomed in the new month with a new and finally fully functioning, blog layout. YEY! I hope you guys like it :) Later on I have a post lined up for you all about my favourite etsy shop at the moment, Wild Things Dresses. Stay tuned!

I am currently in love with these Prada clutches from the S/S 2012 collection. My favourite style has to be this one pictured below (image from JAK & JIL). I've been watching a few on ebay but i'm super wary of buying from there because you can never be sure whether you are going to end up with a genuine or fake item! I've read that now a days even the fake designer items come with all the special packaging, even the authenticity cards! So if you know of a reliable source where I can pick one of these up, please email me and let me know, thanks :)

So anybody who knows me, knows about my secret (well it isn't really to secret) tooth and in fact, my love affair with food altogether. I have recently been baking a load of cakes and have apparently (some people say) become a bit of a whizz at them! But, we all know we can't just live on cake so I shall hand you over to the Smitten Kitchen and their millions upon millions of delicious recipes, oh and their apple cider doughnuts shown bellow, YUM.

I recently discovered JAK & JIL the blog and instantly fell in love. It is a fashion photography blog that holds a numerous amount of gorgeous images. Each image is eye catching and breath taking, intricate and demanding. The blog has now become a daily read of mine and so I wanted to share with you a collection of my favourite images from there.
