Red Velvet Cupcakes
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
3/4 tsp red food coloring (or smaller amount gel food coloring)
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and sandy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract. Sift in the cocoa powder, add in red food coloring and stir everything until well combined.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually incorporate one third of the flour mixture followed by half of the buttermilk. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by the remaining buttermilk and the last of the flour. Mix just until no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Turn cupcakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Makes 12 cupcakes.

The Burberry Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign Starring Romeo Beckham

From the previous post!

enjoy.

OH Romeo...

Don't you think he's cute hey? Well...He is the son of David and Victoria Beckham.   I honestly want to steal this little cutie pie and HIS dad David Beckham. Just recently Romeo Beckham was announced as the face of the kids' selection for Burberry for the Spring Summer 2013 collection and Romeo is only 10 years old! Not too bad for a 10 year old. With his adorable smile and his glee, who wouldn't fall for him. This calls for a Burberry store in South Africa soon.

I honestly fell in love with Ms Shirley here and her amazing blog. I feel so utterly inspired. This is just one of her looks that I immediately added to one of my favorite looks right now.... I'm madly in love with colors such as beige, black and any other monochromatic hue that is romantic yet so sophisticated. AND the cheetah print boots are such a killer on its own... with a touch of red lipstick adds so much of allure.
