Today's outfit consists of a forgotten about pair of tights and a combination of two of my favourite colours for spring. It's too cold for wearing outside of the house, but I'm going nowhere, so it doesn't really matter!
I also got round to baking a Lemon Madeira cake, requested by my Mum, it may not be the prettiest cake I've ever made the even the scent of it that's currently working it's way around the house is more than making up for that!
When it is fully cool I will trim the edges to make it neater I think.
There was enough mixture left over to trying out my silicon cupcake cases. I love these and need more! I only have four right now.
The recipe came from our oldest cook book, which is one of my favourites! I expect lots of UK people have one of these lurking somewhere in their house.
Let me know if you want the recipe!

Hmm!! I'll surelly want that recipe (Let me now if you want some recipies too)! It looks so yummy ^^ The colours you're wearing are the same i've chosen for today*You look adorable with that outfit
Oh WOW! vintage cookbook! hehehe! That's really cool! and the cakes look yummyyumyum! I suck at baking though... :)
The cake looks delicious, I would love the recipe so I might give it a go. I have never seen that cook book, but then again I'm not from the UK.
I'm still planning to make some blueberry muffins, from one of those betty crocker kits, I've made them before and they're pretty good.
Love that lacy top with the gray under it!
Cake and tights - delicious! xx
i have an old bero recipe book too! not that exact one, but it's bero. i think it's great
That first sentence sound slike something I would write in my blog lol :) And hey, I need me a piece of this Lemon Madeira cake!! I've never tried one like that, it sounds sooo good! And how funny is that - I've just been looking at all sorts of silicone kitchen supplies and cases!!
You really suit those pretty pastal shades and love the combination of the lace and spots.
My Mum has that Bero book and swears by it. I love your cookery posts, you really are a domestic goddess.

I wish I could bake a cake too, but the new apartment I just moved in to doesn't have an oven *sobs*
That Lemon thing i want a recipe:) I just finished making something called 'chocolate nemesis' and its chocolatey and amazing! I should have taken pictures while making it but i remembered too late and i got sad :( but i might take some of finished product
did you changed your header!
Very very nice... Love thigts with dot!
Have a terrific weekend!
I feel always so jealous and hungry whenever I see your baking posts!
Oh and that lace top is so cute (I think I've told you before)

loving the lace and those tights are fab x
i love the color combination in your outfit. i've never heard of or had lemon madeira cake! it looks yummy though
Haha gotta love the bero! My mams copy has literally fallen apart and refuses to get a new one.
Oooh that sounds delicious!
that cookbook is so cute. I think the australian version is something like "the margaret fulton encycolpedia of cookery", my parents got it as an engagement gift and I use it all the time, haha (my boyfriend pays me out)... the cake sounds delicious, and that smell! sigh. I'd love to hear what cookware you use, like the silicone cupcake moulds... I want to use silicone but I'm so scared it will melt, hahaha. and yep, I'd love to hear the recipe too :)
oh and lovely outfit too as always! tights are so cute =] xx
I have that EXACT cookbook! Just wanted to let you know that I recieved your parcel in the post today and it absolutely made my week. Thanks so much! And check back on dreamingspires in a week or so for a giveaway to return the favour! :)

Oh, the lemon Madeira cake sounds lovely! If you don't mind, I'd love the recipe. I just have one recipe of a lemon cake at the moment and I make it all the time (bf loves anything with lemon), but I don't really like it that much (I think I got bored of it), so it would be great to try something new as well..
I'd love to have such a cool, vintage-looking recipe book!! :D
Have a great weekend :) xxx
Wow I love your outfit...especially the shirt! :) And that cake lots delicious..I would love to have the recipe!

What a hoot, silicon cupcakes! If you've got it typed up in a file, I'd love the recipe. We called madiera cake 'pound cake' in America, and it's my favourite cake.
Love those colours, too, and the lace. I think it's important at this time of year to dress spring-like while staying warm. Actually I'm wearing very similar tones today: pale ballerina pink DKNY tights (must be from my NY days) & my grey American Apparel fine knit mini dress. And boots.
Hope you're doing okay. Let's talk. Can talk sometime tomorrow if you'd like.
You just made me incredibly hungry! Mmm yummy!
The cupcakes look delicious. I love your tights!

i love old cookbooks, and those look tasty!
I of course want the recipe, dear!! Wow, looks delicious... almost like you in that spring look ;)
Super cute! i love that lace tank ;)
That top is lovely. You always baked the nicest things. I love old cookbooks... but maybe that's because they remind me of my childhood and baking with my mum.
I remember that book from when I was a kid - bet my mum still has it somewhere!
p.s: I love your lacy top - it looks great with the other top underneath it.
Oh, I do remember my mum baking from that very book! Happy times.
Top tip for silicone bun cases - B&M Bargains. I got 6 for 99p in lots of colours! They have loads of silicone bakeware in there. :)
I was going to compliment you on your tights, and then I noticed the cake.
Mmmmm...cake. :-D
I love how you have already started dressing for spring! The colors looks gorgeous on you!

Love this outfit!
mm those cakes look delicious! love you tights!
I always admire your tights, when I think of your blog I automatically associate it with tights - they're your thing, and you wear them so well :)
As for the Lemon Madeira cake, I must admit I've never been a fan of lemon in puddings, so I think I'll give that a pass - but I hope you enjoyed it!

I love the lace shirt and dotted tights worn together! The cake looks delicious and makes me hungry!

Loving the lace top!
So I have a horror story... I bought some heart tights from Topshop and laddered them before I even got both legs in. The end.
I died.
Now I'm jealous of your legs!

Definitely want the recipe! And I always love your layered outfits! Especially the ones with lace. So pretty.
