According to my sister these boots have a pirate feel to them, I was hoping for sixties but figured let’s go with it and take the photos on this model ship. The ship with all it’s ropes and ties was the perfect backdrop to this stripey dress. I picked this up in the ASOS sale, it was only £15 which in my book is a … Continue reading Original Pirate Material
When’s someone asks me if I’d like a new pair of shoes, it doesn’t take much thought to come up with the answer. Then I discovered the shoes were to be from Clarks and I did wonder if I’d find anything I liked. Clarks to me has always meant old lady and school shoes. It appears though they’ve had a little overhaul, you may have … Continue reading I Put My New Shoes On
It’s Thursday folks, you know what that means, almost the weekend! This weekend will be the first in a while I’ve had no work to do, how I’m looking forward to it. Here’s another little work wear post, this may become a feature. I love this little jacket, it has a Chanel feel about it but was a complete bargain. It also goes with pretty … Continue reading I’ve Been Working All Week
It really is supposed to be spring now, clocks have gone forward, mother’s day is passed and we’re now in April. I don’t think anyone’s told mother nature though, it still freezing here. I was going to say at least its dry and we have blue skies, but today in Glasgow it is pouring down, sods law. On Sunday I figured I’d brighten things up … Continue reading Mr Blue Sky
Military is one of those trends that becomes massive every now and then but is always lurking around somewhere. This jacket is perfect example of that. It reminds me of the Sergeant Pepper jackets, if only it was bright red I’d probably never take it off. Lovely Roz took these photos last night before we headed off the Lush Spring into Skin event. If you … Continue reading They’ve been Going in and Out of Style
Recently I’ve heard a lot of negative chat about bloggers from other bloggers. The main bones of contention being that the blogs show perfect lives rather than real lives and outfit posts having ‘staged’ outfits. Harsh indeed, where is the love people? I hope no one feels this way about my little corner of the internet. I’ll readily accept that my blog does show the … Continue reading I’ve Looked at Life that Way
I caught the clashing patterns bug and it’s been carried into my workwear, what else would you team with a pinstripe suit but a spotty blouse eh? Since I spent most of my time in office wear I felt it was time for a post. My work is pretty strict so I can’t get away with all the lovely styles you see in ASOS or … Continue reading Working 9 – 5
When your rocking sports luxe there’s no better choice than the Lakers. Top team and such a gorgeous combination of colours. I picked up my Bryant top in NYC a few years ago. It’s so much better to have an real strip rather than a cheap high street knock off, as I found in Forever 21.The luxe comes in the form of bargain £2 Primark … Continue reading I Wish a was a Baller
You know there’s all those fashion rules; legs or cleavage, don’t wear white after labour day, don’t mix patterns. It seems we’re all breaking them these days so I thought I would too. I’m in love with this little skort from Primark. I’ve recently discovered it has a matching jacket but who wants matching when you have this wonderful vintage tartan scarf to clash with … Continue reading Should I Stay or Should I Go
