FOOD/ A Taste of the Mountains by Ski Total
It’s New Year, so why not add some new recipes to the repertoire!
I was challenged by Ski Total to try out one of these breakfast recipes from a ski destination in a lil’ blogger competition face off…bring it!
Honestly, they all sound delicious don’t they? But the lazy gal in me won out so I picked the one that took the least time to cook…not the only reason! I thought I could tweak things slightly to make the dish even healthier for January.
This is is recipe below – I swapped the oil for sunflower Fry Light, and I tried to choose the leanest bacon I could find (though you’ll notice there’s still some fat on this)
To get the potatoes nice and crispy in the outside, I left the skins on and oven cooked them for 25mins
The end result…..
I think it looks pretty good! You’ll also notice that I’ve swapped the fried egg for poached… 
But VERY delicious all the same, I’ll definitely be making this again! Let me know if you decide to try this (and you should)
Stay Stylish (but not hungry)

FASHION. FOOD. FUN/ 2015 Round Up
Happy New Year! And my, the last one was eventful! Here’s a recap of some of the highlights…
January
My year kicked off celebrating Mr Alice hitting the dirty thirty! This involved lots of meals out, a few drinks, presents and an ill fated trip to a spa that wasn’t really a spa (don’t ask)February
Moving on to my first (but definitely not last) trip to London Fashion Week with Mama Alice – the perfect combo of fashion, food and fun. You can catch up with my #LFW post here.March
Back to London with Mr Alice for a final round of birthday celebrations- which involved a visit to the Houses of Parliament, tipsy times with old friends and generally doing things we haven’t done in London before. Read my ‘Eat and Drink Your way Around London‘post for some of my fave placesApril
April was all about the beauty, the bling and the fashion! I braved my first ever home tan now fave Cocoa Brown and hit Hull Fashion Week, meeting even more of the loveliest people I enjoy spending time with. Read my #HFW post here, you can also view my #ootd from the event in this post. As part of the fashion week events I also got the change to have a sneak peek at some (then) new seasonjewellery at Hugh Rice which I shared in my Sparkle and Bling post.Completely un-fashion (and un-winter) related, I also took on the Peanut Hottie milkshake challenge.
May
Happy Birthday Curious Alice Loves…! Celebrating my tent patch of the internet being in existence for a whole year. Ah.June
And then it was Happy Birthday to meeeeee…….! It’s like the fash equivalent of the royalty celebrating two birthdays in a year…hehe.This is also the month I decided I need to try a bit harder on the beauty front, which I kicked off with my Ombre lips post.
July
Probably the most important part of my year happened this month- 4yrs after quitting full time work to pursue a degree, I not only graduated but with a fairly respectable mark! I wrote about this a little bit in my Stylings of a graduate post. Mr Alice and my fam spoiled me and I had a wonderful time celebrating.August
Vegas baby!! I FINALLY got to go to one of my ‘F**k It’ list destinations (though I have a few more planned for 2016) whilst I was there I wrote a little post that may be interesting to anyone else going, Things People don’t tell you About Vegas. My outfit in this picture is from my Festival Under £50 post in collaboration with Boohoo.
I went back to work at long last! I don’t like to really talk about where I work and what I do very much on social media as I like to keep it separate, but I will share that it’s going well so far! 
A truly epic end to the month was co-hosting the #HBAlPorto event for the #HullBloggers crew! We had lovely chat, food and raised mone for a worthy cause. Have a read about the day here.September
I was invited to #LadbrokesLadiesDay for a day of food, fizz and fluttering of bets – all shared in my I See Girls… post.I also shared a little bit of me and my style confidence in my NO Shame in my Game post, talking about the judgement of others in what I wear.
October
I had a busy month! Which I documented in my October Round Up, but one of the best things was working on my first article with LOCO. I’ve since had another published in collaboration with my blogger buddy Carl, stay tuned as there may be more on the way…November
My sis in law had her baby shower – I already had one beautiful nephew and I’m thrilled that I now have a niece too!I also conducted a little fash experiment which I documented in my What we wear, how we feel and what it says post. I also tried to get my health back on track with a little help from Viridian.
December
Which us brings us to the end…another round of fun times! I had a cheeky break in Liverpool with Mr Alice to shop and see Michael McIntyre (who I met a few years ago, lovely man) as you’ll see from my Instagram feed we also ate and drank a bit too! Then it was back to Al Porto for a mini blogger Christmas get together.I’ve carried on trying to get my health on track and did a Boo Tea detox which you can read about here.
And now here we are on 1January 2016- or what I like to call ‘sausage sandwich and pizza day’. These days I only make 1 resolution, which is to make the New Year better than the last one, no matter how good it may have been it can always get better! I’m looking forward to to making that happen.
Wishing you all the very best for this year, Stay Stylish

FASHION/ Festive with the fam
I feel like my pictures are getting more sparse and candid with each post…lately getting a good shot of a good outfit is proving a greater challenge than I’d have thought this time a year ago!
This is my Christmas Day #ootd which I spent with my in laws and some of their in laws. Although I was thrilled to spend the day with with my nephew and 5 day old niece (dressed as an elf and Miss Santa respectively) I was a bit sad that I didn’t see a any of my family as that hasn’t happened for about 15 years (I did see them either side of the day though for food and festive cheer)
My only regret about this outfit was that it’s not the best for crawling on the floor with children, next time some trousers may fare better! The boots are a Christmas present from Mr Alice and I’m already obsessed.Jumper Dress Billie Faiers for In The Style/ Boots Ego/ Bag Michael Kors
I hope you’ve had time to have a bit of chill over the festive period

FASHION/ Last Minute Christmas Shopping
My LAST pre-Christmas outfit post! There’ll be plenty of pictures taken over the festive days of my outfits and shared I’m share, so keep a lookout for those. This is another of my winter go-to looks for a quick journey into town to pick up some final little bits of presents (I’ve actually been super organised this year, but there’s always that last little thing you forget isn’t there)
These jeans are more of a Capri length, but the way, which is why they don’t tuck into my boots. I realised after buying them that this is about the 15th pair I’ve purchased in the last year- quite the change for a girl who refused to wear them for about 5 years because she felt too ashamed of how she looked in them!

Hope you’re all ready to enjoy a lovely festive break!
