SHOW ME A GOOD TIME.

There's nothing like a little black dress, some good company and a spritz of perfume to create a fabulous Saturday night out.

And as much as I want to hit myself in the face for being such a horrific cliche, my outfit can be the make or break of a good night. With an awkwardness that feels the need to exude so freely, I need a dress that I feel truly comfortable in; that I can put on and not have to think about again.

The more forgettable, the better.

This little peplum gem therefore, was perfect. Ten pounds, the perfect length and safe enough to last through seasons, it makes me wonder what I ever did before Primark.

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Hey strangers.

It's been a while, but if any of you follow me on Instagram (@ellieand), you might have noticed that last Sunday was the day that baking, photographing and generally being a kitchen-klutz recommenced.

And as to why I decided to take a 6 month (and counting) haitus from blogging? Well, it wasn't really a decision per se. Just something that happened naturally, and generally speaking I'm not one to argue with nature. Nature that is, plus the fact that stepping into the scarily adult world of full-time employment knocked me for six.

But I think now I'm ready to enjoy blogging all over again. I can't promise outfit posts, or even many photography posts as such, but seeing the success that both Claire and Katie have had recently with their baking ventures has made me realise just how much I'd love to do the same. And until that day comes, I figure I may as well get plenty of practice in.

The excessive chocolate consumption that this will ensue has er, nothing at all to do with it. Nope....

Peanut butter brownie anyone?
