May Round Up

Helen
Watching: After going to the cinema 5 times back in April, I haven't been at all this month. With so many other events going on in Dundee it's been hard to find the time! I have managed to fit in a bit of Netflix binging though, usually while editing photos for this here blog. My programme of choice this month has been iZombie. As much as I love all things zombie I was slightly put off by the ridiculous premise. Girl becomes zombie, girl uses zombie powers to fight crime. But I decided to give it a go. Turns out it's rather good! Strong female lead - check, humour - check, over the top bad guys - check. It pretty much ticks all the boxes for me.

Doing: May has been a super busy month for events in Dundee. From pop up markets, vintage fairs, Tea Green, the DJCAD degree show, Pecha Kucha, Scottish Jewellery Week, Dundee Design Festival, Ignite and Festival of Museums, it's been all go. One event I'd been looking forward to since the start of the month was Dreamland's new collection launch. Designer, Ruby Coyne's colourful items have appeared here a number of times so I was very excited to see what she had up her sleeve for her newest collection. Dimensions is a small but perfectly formed mix of tshirts and sweatshirts. It has the perfect unisex vibe with loose silhouettes and jazzy 80's style prints. For me it's another fun and colourful success.

Buying: With all the pop ups that have been going on I'm amazed I haven't bought more this month. Probably because I've been doing quite a bit of eating out which has eaten into my funds. I did treat myself to an illustrated print at the pop up teen market. It's bright and features the rooftops of Dundee. It's by young designer Shona Heaney. I really liked her drawing style and all the geek references in her work.

Clicking: Kimberley and I have been getting our DIY on for Cut Out and Keep and my post went live on Saturday. There's a Q&A with me, a colourful outfit and a how to guide for making my necklace. It's pom pom-tastic. Kimberley's will be coming up next week. In the meantime I've been exploring the site and bookmarking some projects to try.
Also online this month, Spex Pistols (my glasses heaven) launched their shiny new website. I would always highly recommend that you head to their super stylish store in Dundee for cool decor and top notch customer service, but I know that may not be possible for everyone. Now you can shop their awesome selection from your home using their slick new site. There's a great range of prices and styles, from fabulous vintage frames to brands like Ray-Ban and William Morris. Browsing could get seriously dangerous for your bank balance. I've run out of fingers to count my favourites on.


Kimberley

Watching: I've been watching Grayson Perry: All Man. The series follows the artist's exploration of masculinity in British society, where he visits men who have 'ultra-male' roles through work or sports, and finds out what makes them tick (spoiler: they have feelings and emotions). He is a really great presenter of it, offering a lot of insight into his own world, and I'm enjoying it so far.

Doing: It's been a busy month of non-blogging activities. Obviously I squeezed in the Flamingosaurus Rex shoot and the Dundee visit for Festival of Museums and Tea Green Pop-up, but I also jetted off to Salerno, Italy, for a work trip and squeezed in a few hours of sunshine and gelato. You can follow my journey on my Instagram account. I also got some TLC in the form of 80s jumper- inspired nails at Cutie-Kills (more on that soon) and I have been eating out a lot with new friends. I tried out Grams gluten-free, dairy- free cakes and Candy Bar's menu.

Buying: In writing this I have suddenly realised that I have not bought anything this month! Go me, accidentally overcoming my shopping addiction for one single month. I guess because I've been too busy organising my Italy trip, buying practical items like a suitcase and suncream, and digging out my ol' holiday/ summer wardrobe to wear there, I haven't even thought about it. Fun post surprises like the arrival of The WhitePepper order from last month and my Oh No Rachio! Good Vibes pin have meant I haven't missed out.  My birthday is coming up this month so I've also been trying on things to add to my list of treats for me.

Clicking: Allll the art graduates! I love keeping up with the latest output of designers that Scotland has to offer. While I popped along to ECA and Helen hit up DJCAD, I've also been checking out the others online. GSA always have a good fashion show and Gray's School of Art will hold their degree show in June. Looking up the hashtags on instagram can also open up a load of new inspiration to follow.

Hill Street Workshop Wishlist

What do all of these awesome items have in common? Apart from being beautiful and super high on our wishlists, that is. The answer is that all of their designers are going to be holding workshops over the coming weeks. That's right, you can learn how to make these items (or similar) as part of Hill Street Design House's programme of summer workshops.

1.) Woven Wall Hanging | Squid Ink Co
2.) Mini Cheese Plant Necklace | Bonnie Bling
3.) Pastel Marble Set | Mishke Lingerie
4.) Cove Necklace | Jo Pudelko
5.)  Custard Cream Pouch | Nikki McWilliams
 
Hill Street is an awesome design hub based unsurprising, in Hill Street, Edinburgh. Not only does it house some of our favourite designers (looking at you Rowan Joy and Karen Mabon), we've also had a number of amazing times within their walls. The opening party was a hoot, their Halloween celebrations were wonderfully horrific and Scarf School was just immense! This summer, Hill Street are back with a host of wonderful new workshops. As you can see above, they have some amazing designers on board. Seriously, every single one is a dream class come true.

Starting on the 4th of June, they are kicking things off in style with the chance to create an exclusive Bonnie Bling necklace. The theme is house party and the finished piece includes a whole host of fun charms. There's cocktails and heels from the night before and hangover remedies in the form of eggs and Irn Bru. Plus, if you finish your first creation, there's the option to crate another extra special scroll slogan necklace. That's two Bonnie Bling acrylic wonders made with your own fair hands. Sound like a winner in our book.



The 12th June sees Mischke Lingerie return with a silk marbling workshop. Experiment with colours and patterns to create a pile of samples. And, what makes this class even better is that Mischke designer Hazel Lethaby will take your final length and create a special marbled piece for your underwear drawer. We've got our names down for this one so we might just see you there.

Over the weekend of 18/19th June there will be a full-on resin casting class with jewellery Jo Pudelko. Mixing beads, resin and metal Jo's designs are spectacular and this class allows you to create your own unique piece of jewellery.

On the 3rd of July there's weaving with Squid Ink Co as they return for another of their popular workshops. They always bring the most colourful of yarn and will teach you how to create you're own wall hanging. You can choose the 'all in' ticket which means you get to take away your own loom to keep or 'instruction' which is perfect for those who have attended before. 

The final workshop of the block is on 16th July and comes in the form of fabric printing and clutch making with Nikki McWilliams. We love Nikki's new biscuit themed pouches. They're perfect for carrying all the essential bits and bobs and look damn cute too. The class includes printing a biscuity inspired design and sewing up you're own clutch bag. 

I'm sure you'll agree it's a rather impressive list of classes!  And the Bonnie Bling, Mischke Lingerie and Squid Ink Co classes have both morning and afternoon options, so its easy to find a workshop to suit your schedule. 

 

Top Five: DJCAD Degree Show Picks

      
Degree show time is one of my favourite times of year. I love visiting as many art schools as I can and seeing what the students have been working towards over the past 4 years. They always provide me with so much inspiration and, more often than not, some new designers to follow and covet. This year turned out to be no different as I headed along to the opening of Duncan of Jordanstone Collage of Art and Design week long exhibition. This is a big one. I spent most of my weekend visiting and revisiting it to try and take everything in. Picking just five favourites was extremely tricky but I've tried to show a variety of work from the different courses. For the full experience I'd suggest you head along in person. The DJCAD degree show runs until Sunday 29th May. But, for now, here are my ones to watch:



1.) Alice Carnegie
I've been aware of Alice's illustration work for a while now. Ever since the Pop Dundee pop up shop where I bought several of her illustrated postcards that can now be found hanging on my wall. With her colourful designs and movie references I was very excited to see her work in the degree show. Her Brainscape diorama blew me away. It is so colourful and bright and full of fun. It's filled with a mix of found and hand made objects that represent Alice's creative mind and some of struggles that go on in there (hello planet procrastination). I love all the different little touches and that the over all feel of it is positivity.


2.) Kenzie Wallace
Kenzie is another designer I've been keeping my eye on. Not in a creepy way. Just in the normal Instagram following way. I first became aware of her designs at another pop up, this time one of the Christmas variety. I treated myself to one of her rings and bought a necklace as a gift for a friend. For her degree show project, Kenzie created an alternative persona (Jerome Dauphin) to look at the how the designer plays an important part in the experience of making, selling and buying contemporary jewellery. I love the resulting designs. They're abstract, futuristic and unusual. There's something space age / alien about the fantastical head pieces.


3.) Alison Wright
I loved Alison's wall of portrait photographs. They are paired down and have a real truthfulness about them. Taken using natural light, with candid models wearing no makeup, the images are striking yet relaxed. All of the subjects have amazing faces. From freckles to red hair, curls to piercings there's something individual and unique about them all. The different scale of the photographs just adds to the display and made me instantly want to take a closer look. I spent time studying each image and especially loved the three large scale photos that you can see at the start of this post.


4.) Rachel Key
Being from a fashion uni background I always enjoy checking out the textile department of any university. The stand out for me was Rachel Key's bright collection of printed fabrics. Not only are the designs bold but so is the message. Looking at women's perceptions of themselves, Rachel picks out the unique things that make each lady different. From a variety of body shapes, freckles and body hair, these "imperfections" are highlighted and made beautiful. The designs become a celebration of rejecting unattainable beauty standards and embracing the fun and freedom of being yourself. I want a wardrobe full of these positive prints please!


5.) Veera Krouglov
Interactivity adds a whole other level to an art piece, as well as some extra enjoyment. That's certainly true of Veera's work. She displayed a number of different mediums, from animation and murals, to flicker books and ceramics. There were so many pieces on display but the whimsical creatures Veera has created bring it all together into a cohesive exhibition. The large painting on the wall featured magnetic pieces that could be moved around to create different compositions. I love it when I'm invited to take part, change and have fun with an artwork.

So what do you make of my picks? I might have to cheat and add a few more of my favourites to our Facebook page. There were just so many top picks! Also, if you fancy seeing what I wore to the opening of the degree show, I was street style snapped by The Daydreamer.

Blog Crushes 21

Kimberley is crushin' on... The Velvet Epidemic

A word of warning before you read this blog: you must appreciate satire. As well as being a total babe with a strong boho/ norm core/ charity shop chic aesthetic, Stevie is hugely self-deprecating and openly mocks her look and insecurities in a cartoonish and clever way that I can really relate to. A particular fave is her post 'How to make boys fancy you and do everything for you and fall in love with you....' And she always looks sexy in a subtly non- try hard way. Obvs.

Although I really recommend reading the blog, you can also catch her outfits over on Instagram and Twitter.


Helen is crushin' on... Leopard Print Elephant

This may be a relatively new blog but Jamie has a strong writing style and a whole load of opinions that I love reading. Discussing pertinent millennial issues such as gender, narcissism and love, alongside sharing uni life and style tips, I really enjoy the mix of subjects covered. Plus, when there are this many amazingly colourful outfits in one place, you know I'm going to be a fan. Jamie has amazing style and a wardrobe to covet. And this Fashion Iconography Look Book is on a whole other level.

Like Kimberley with The Velvet Epidemic I encourage you to read the words on Leopard Print Elephant but if you're looking for a quick colour injection them Jamie's Instagram is the place to be. At the moment it's all about yellow.


We're also lovin:

• We want everything on Ayelined  monochrome Monki and Lazy Oaf purchase list!
• The lovely Ruth from Urbanity Blog writes candidly about her recovery from anorexia with some thoughts she's had along the way. We heart her.
• Flame haired babe Frankly Ms Shankly is giving a saucy harness a go with her underwear as outerwear challenge. Want!
•  Make up tutorials were what the internet was made for, right? Lisa Eldridge has a whole host of top tips to help step up your makeup game. 
• Dundee filmmaker Dylan Drummond created some videos about graduating DJCAD students. Hooray for degree show time!

May Wishlist

1.) Silver Holographic Takeout Bag | Skinny Dip London
This has been on my wishlist for so long that I thought it had popped up in this one already. holographic, novelty shape, pompom. It's the golden triangle right there. And it's on sale so... it'd be rude not to...

2.) Be Mine Lichtenstein Earrings | Doodad and Fandango
Okay, I admit it. Since getting my 80s ugly jumper nails done I've been craving all things graphic print (can you tell by today's collage?). These would clash (and therefore work) with absolutely everything! Poppy and fun, you can't go wrong with these danglers.

3.) Waterfall Flag Jacket | Pope London
Since popping into the store last June I have been obsessing over this brand. At the time, it as all the insect collars that had me coveting, but now I'm loving the colour combos. That gradient mac? The silhouettes and layering of the pieces are just beautiful.

4.) Atomic Clutch Bag | Tiff Manuell
This was a difficult one. Difficult to choose just one, that is. So many vibrant prints and colours! if you're looking for something to really make an outfit pop then any of them will work (read: buy me them all pls).

5.) Zebra Mother Fluffer Bikini | Jade Clark
I've been following Jade Clark on instagram for a while and I love this Yorkshire lass' style. Her Barbie collection was pure sass but it's her swimwear that hit the spot for me. I love the added details of frills or trim and this zebra print with marabou pom is the right side of trashy. (But I also need to mention *that* Jessie tassel jacket of my dreams). I wouldn't say no.




1.) Supreme Natural Necklace | Totem Works
I love the colours and shapes of this statement necklace. It has a great mix of  natural textures with bright pops of colour. Plus it has tassels!!! It's strung on an adjustable cord, which is something which always appeals to me. I enjoy being able to change accessories up so it fits perfectly with an outfit. 

2.) Television Brooch | I am Acrylic
I am a bit of a TV addict. If I'm in the house the tv is usually on. Mostly I just like the noise in the background but I also love binging on my favourite shows. Now I can wear my tv where ever I go with this super cute brooch. I love the retro colour and shape and the added sparkly screen. 

3.) Sandworm Cushion | Pilfered
Beetlejuice is up there on my top films list, so having a part of the film in my home would definitely work for me. This sandworm cushion is the perfect parts creepy, unusual and colourful. A couple of these scattered around the house would make me very happy indeed.

4.) Abstract Print Clutch | Jen Chemma
Bright colours and a bold abstract design, that's a winner in my book. I love the collage look of this piece. It's made of neoprene so a practical fabric to have. Plus I really like the feel of it. A very handy attribute for a clutch bag.  

5.) Shimmy Shimmy Bra Top | Belair
Ok, so I may not be able to pull of this bra top but that doesn't mean I can't lust after it. I mentioned my love of tassels earlier but full on fringe ranks even higher for me. The vibrant orange colour is amazing but it also comes in a range of other (equally bright) colours. The matching skirt is just the icing on the cake.

Tea Green Concept Atelier

Friday night saw the launch of Tea Green's latest event and we had a great time checking it out. Having been to a number of Tea Green events, we knew the calibre of work would be high and we weren't disappointed. Concept Atelier is a two week pop up shop featuring a whole host of amazing Scottish designers and artists. Alongside a ton of awesome stuff you can buy, there's also a working creative space where visitors can watch the design process in action. And, as if that wasn't enough, there's a display of 2nd & 3rd year DJCAD student sketchbooks and an interactive den building experience thanks to Waste Of Paint Productions. Lots of the designers were there for the launch night, alongside nibbles and drinks provided by The Bach. 

With all the chatting and plum daiquiris we didn't get a chance to look at all the work properly, so we popped along the next day to have a proper look around. The Old Flour Mill has been all dressed up, mixing its industrial past with a chic designer present. We spent a long time oohing and ahhing over everything, taking some time out to build a Wardrobe Conversations club house out of cardboard. The pop up is open until the 29th  May, 10am - 5pm each day. We thoroughly recommend you get yourself along. If you need any more convincing, here's a look at our top picks: 

Kimberley's Top 3 Tea Green Picks

1.) Yellow Bubble
You know me and anything fluffy. Oh lordy, I fell hard for this crop top! When you try something on and it makes another customer decide to buy it you know it's working. It's a really wonderful collection of knitwear that I've been lusting after over on instagram but to try it on (and have it fit perfectly!) was a whole other matter. Yet another reason to pop down and see all the pieces in the flesh!



2.) Polymorphics / White Lab Collective
Who knew I would need tiny wooden mountains in my life? I'm pretty sure I do. These simple but striking geometric tealight holders and plant holders would be perfect in any Pinterest-worthy home and I love them.


3.) Catherine Aitkin
A firm favourite for me. I already own a change purse from Catherine Aitkin but I keep finding myself trying on the backpacks. I just love the classic shape and the herringbone keeps it from looking childish- this is a piece that will last. The contrasting top of this one has pushed it to the very top of my list.


Helen's Top 3 Tea Green Picks

1.) Judy Scott
I love Judy Scott's bright and colourful designs. She makes a whole host of bold items, from cushions, to scarves, to tea towels. They're all fabulous but I am especially loving her new jewellery range. Created as part of a skill share with jeweller Joanne MacFadyen, these pieces were designed especially for Concept Atelier. The painted colours are fabulous, making them tiny works of wearable art. Just my kind of thing. 


2.) Joanne MacFadyen
On the flip side of Judy Scott's collaboration are these fabulous scarves. It looks like Judy and Joanne make an excellent team. They've perfectly captured  Jo's jewellery aesthetic to create these screen printed numbers. Plus the colours are gorgeous. There's only a limited number so get in there quick, before I nab them all for my ever growing scarf collection.


 3.) Homebody Makes
I love a good busy pattern but sometimes something simpler can be even more striking. That's what I like about Homebody Make's ceramic pieces. The black and white creates a strong contrast and the added yellow trim adds a nice bit of colour into the mix. As well as cute brooches and pots there's also a whole host of necklaces on offer. Choices, choices!


Joint Pick..... Kerrie Aldo

We've gushed over Kerrie Aldo quite a bit on this blog but with patterns and shapes like these, can you really blame us?! Her jacket designs perfectly mix the practical with the stylish. Tea Green has a whole rack of them for sale, including some limited pieces. And there's a bunch of make up bags, totes and tshirts to choose from.


So that's our picks from the pop up, but we assure you there's also a whole bunch more. Whether you're looking for a greetings card or a special piece of jewellery, you're sure to find something that fits the bill. We'll certainly be back (probably more than once) over the next couple of weeks. We just wish it was going to be a permanent fixture!

I Dream of Shapes x Flamingosaurus Rex Fashion Shoot

I've been keeping up to date with the goings on of the new Flamingosaurus Rex studio that's just opened up in Edinburgh from the lovely Lucie Wang, fellow blogger and #ScotGalGang's other pink haired member. She recently invited me and a few other Edinburgh Bloggers to have a go at styling and modelling one of the studio's featured designers, I Dream of Shapes. I hadn't heard of the brand before so I was interested to check them out. A collaboration between Berlin and Edinburgh based designers Samantha Bowie and Lorna Mackie, the clothes are all hand sewn in house by the team so it's ticking the Wardrobe Convo's boxes for local and ethical. While I'd seen them in photographs, I can't tell you how stunning these pieces were in real life. I expected monochrome but the fabrics used are sumptuous- really luxe, mixed with rich jewel colours that hang beautifully. We had photographer James Keyte on hand to capture the pieces in all their glory:

Bloggers (l-r)
Ruth from Urbanity Blog
Emily from Frankly Ms Shankly
Sophie from Sophia Violet Blog
 Jen from Tartan Brunette
Cera from Cera Kamonji
Katie from Little Kaatie

We were given free rein over the rack to choose whatever we liked. This is always a point of anxiety on shoots I think- no one wants to pick last and have something they don't like. And sizing? Samples are always tiny and weird. Not the case at all here! Each of us are a different height, size and shape and we all seemed to gravitate towards different styles so that there really was no Top Model-esque tantrums. In dress sizes, I was the biggest girl there and mine fit like a dream. It felt like a dream. I'm not normally one for flashing my tum but the outfit looked so great I hardly even thought about it. I think being surrounded by such supportive, down to earth women helped.

(behind the scenes photo credit- Tetris & Cheesecakes)

Actually, the whole evening was a lovely, relaxing experience (the prosecco probably helped.)
Bloggers- fashion bloggers in particular- have a bit of a bad rep when it comes to friendliness. It's dog eat dog, and all that. Perhaps that is true of larger cities but it's certainly not my experience in the Dundee or Edinburgh communities that we're part of. At worst I've seen insecure girls avoid contact, or a business-like perfunctory greeting as others 'work' a room. Nothing wrong or scary about that.
But at best I've seen laughter, fun, and friendships and networks grow. Although many of us hadn't met, I already knew all of the girls from various events and the #ScotGalGang twitter group so for me it felt like getting ready for a night out with friends. I lent my shoes to Ruth, and Sophie offered to do my makeup, pulling out an enormous bag of goodies to give me the highlighted glow of my dreams. In return I styled her outfit. That white pencil skirt was made for her though, wasn't it? She looked amazing. Actually, everyone did. Despite having a very coherent collection to pick from, we each brought a different style- from Ruth's chic streamlined silhouette to Emily's edgy Gaga take. Katie brought the sexy cold shoulder, while Cera was very cool and Jen was girly and fun. I think I'm coveting everyone's pieces but quite honestly my favourite was the pink full skirt I got to wear. What was my 'look'? I'm not sure but the ladylike skirt had the most gorgeous texture and there was so much material- perfect for twirling!

Although Lucie was cunning in staying behind the camera (those behind the scenes photos are hers), she was great at organising and taking care of all of us. What a host! Plus she provided pet therapy in the form of her beautiful dog, Rhod.

We had a moment. Or five. Basically, when I wasn't shooting or helping other girls get ready, I was playing with the dog. I was gutted I couldn't make the launch night of Flamingosaurus Rex to see Rhod in his bow tie and catch up with these beauties again, but I kept up with the gossip and it looked like a great night. I'm hoping to pop in for a nosey myself soon.

In the meantime, thanks to I Dream of Shapes and Flamingosaurus Rex for a fun evening of playing dress up! You really should check them out.

Roller Shakes

Happy three years of blogging to us!

It's been so nice to recap and reflect, and it's only left us wanting more. Bigger, better and brighter!
We aren't ever tired of each other, or of recreating our original The Shining twins poses as we do every year. We even pulled out the original Joy shirts (Eeek, look at those old beach hut pics with our matching shirts and looong hair). Everyone loves a birthday tradition.

Looking back on our old posts it's good to see how far we've come. Hopefully you'll agree that our photos look sharper and more polished compared to the early days. Plus we're both more comfortable in front of the camera. Of course, there's still a lot we can learn and a list of things we'd love to do to improve but it's nice to see there's been some progress. Blogging can be hard work  but we enjoy it and we get so much out of it. It's made us feel more confident and comfortable in our own style, we get to do lots of fun stuff and we've made a whole bunch of amazing friends along the way!



Blogging certainly isn't a bad hobby to have, and when you get to do it with your best friend it's even better. We may be reaching a point where people are introducing us as 'blogging life partners' but we can assure you that we're more sisters than spouses. Aah, what a beautiful wedding that would be though! Just imagine. Okay it would probably look a bit like our special birthday Roller Shakes video. Colourful and over the top. And with milkshakes. Have a gander...



So, you've heard the secret beginnings of Wardrobe Conversations (RIP Style Diner), you've enjoyed(?) the customised jackets and you may also have read our tips on how to blog as a duo (because everyone should team up!) now let's focus on our milkshake bar, Roller Shakes. In our minds it's all about over indulgence, colourful straws and lots and lots of sprinkles. We have our menu pretty much mapped out and all the glasses picked out too.  Tiger have it covered with their mint and orange range- so on brand! ... we even separately bought the exact same ones. WC psychic styling again! Okay, we may have over thought it a little bit (considering it ain't happening) but we do love a good milkshake. And we also love taking ideas a step too far.

In case you would like to make a signature Roller Shakes at home, we've got the recipes for you. Roller skates are optional.



Helen's Movie Night Shake
I love films, be it heading out to the cinema or having a cozy night in. And popcorn is always the best accompaniment  to a good movie. Pretty much every time I visit Kimberley we consume a bag of sweet and salted while watching a Meg Ryan romcom. I didn't think the salt would work very well in a milkshake so I decided on a toffee version. I added some Irish cream in there but that can be left out if you want a kid friendly version. 


Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
2 scoops vanilla icecream
1 scoop toffee icecream (optional. fudge flavour also works)
2 shots Irish cream (because I can't resist a boozy milkshake)
A squirt of toffee sauce

whipped cream to top
A handful of toffee popcorn

Basically all you have to do is pop all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it all together. A mixer makes life easier but you could use some good old elbow grease. Once it's all smooth, get your glass at the ready. Squirt some extra toffee sauce around the inside of the glass to make it pretty and then pour in the shake. Top off with a squirt of whipped cream and some toffee popcorn. A red striped straw is an important finishing touch. And you're done!



Kimberley's Bananas for Nutella Shake
Let's face it- it was always going to be chocolate. It had to be. I was considering doing a themed birthday cake one but my absolute favourite milkshakes (and I've tried a few in the name of research) are both peanut butter ones. Boozy Cow in Edinburgh does a special that's Snickers flavoured and amazing. My number one choice is Professor Nutty from Hula, Edinburgh though, which is peanut butter and banana. So let's do a combo (because more sugar is better):


Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
2 scoops vanilla icecream
1/2 banana, sliced
4 tbsp Nutella (or more.. I won't tell)
1 tbsp peanut butter (optional but delicious)

whipped cream to top
sprinkles to garnish

Chuck it all in a blender or mixer and enjoy! Easy! Oh, but make sure the whipped cream and sprinkles go on top at the end. Otherwise things could get messy, and a bit lumpy. No one wants that.

Obviously, it's all about the presentation. You eat with your eyes, after all. These may only be served in fun cups with paper straws and extra sprinkles. It's the law.




We've also included our doll doubles, which were custom made by Bristol based illustrator Ellie Kate Gray. We have a set each- in different outfits! You can grab a pair of you and your bestie for just £20. Bargain! ...Or you can ask her for a Wardrobe Conversations pair, if you're that way inclined!
We won't judge you, ye creepy stalker ;)
