Who says sequins are only for nights out? I’ve been eyeing up sequin trousers for months after spying some amazing pairs on Pinterest. When I saw these in H&M I had to have them. Lucky for me they went on sale after Christmas and I picked them up half price. Teamed with double stripes they’re dressed down enough for dog walks with my favourite boy. … Continue reading Sparkle and Stripes
I may have just dove into my wardrobe and thrown on all my favourite things. Luckily for me they all work together. This skirt is another bargain from the Mango sale. I love the colour and its quickly joining my hat, OTK boots and faux fur as one of my favourite things. We were so lucky yesterday and despite that ominous sky got all … Continue reading Cos A Girl Gotta Have her Favourite Things
Last night I popped along to the the West End’s Botanic gardens for a little preview of The Electric Gardens, thank you for the invite Roz. The gardens are beautiful all year round whether they be dusted with snow, like today, or bathed in sunshine. They play a central part in the West End Festival each summer. The Electric Gardens are a move to extend … Continue reading Electric Avenue
Hoodies, no longer to be resigned to the gym or yoga class – who am I kidding it’s more like lazy days on the sofa for me. When it’s cold enough for snow and you have a doggy to walk you need to throw on all the clothing you can find. This hoody is from the men’s department so it’s oversized and perfect for layering … Continue reading Throw on What I Wanted and Go
Now pink is not a colour I wear often. You know when you see something and are just drawn to it? That’s what happened with these trousers. It helped that they were half price in the ASOS sale. With all the junk food I consumed over Christmas I thought that they either wouldn’t fit or if they did wouldn’t look anything like they did on … Continue reading Cause It’s Pink Friday
Who says yellow is a summer colour? When it’s this cold and frosty you need to inject bright colours into you wardrobe. These yellow jeans were a bargain in Forever 21 at the end of the summer and after a few wears I now know why, they get bigger as you wear them and end up sagging off your bum. Not a good look! I’m … Continue reading They Call Me Mellow Yellow
A wide brimmed hat maybe a bloggers perfect item. It hides a multitude of sins. Hair a bit messy, stick the hat on; massive spot on your forehead, stick the hat on; horrid bags under your eyes, stick the hat on. Not just that it protects you from all manner of Scottish weather; whether that be wind, rain or sunshine. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, … Continue reading You Can Leave Your Hat On
Frozen indeed, I think we hit a high of 1degree on Sunday when we shot these photos. I may have been wrapped up in coat and faux fur but it didn’t take long for my fingers and toes to go numb. Seb had a ball playing in the frost though, ok maybe we both did. Short post today as I’m still feeling a little rough … Continue reading Before You Know It Your Frozen
Yip tomorrow I turn the big 3 – 0! I know scary thought! Now believe me when I say having a birthday on NYE is pretty rubbish. Even more so in Scotland as we have big celebrations for Hogmany. I know what your thinking that should be great right? Wrong. I’ve never had a proper party because of the stupid date and in general everyone … Continue reading It’s My Birthday, It’s My Birthday
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to you all. I am a very lucky girl and a little Canon DSLR arrived in my stocking. Needless to say I was a little excited and started snapping everything in sight! I don’t know much about photography but I’ve read enough blog tutorials to know the basics. The one problem is my … Continue reading She’s So Lucky
