I hear that dresses and skirts over trousers are back, not really surprising since the 90’s have been infiltrating high street fashion for over a year now. It’s great news for me because I can pretend like I’m 17 again, finishing school at 3pm, starting to head out to clubs at weekends and my biggest worry being that Chemistry homework I’ve not done. Also I … Continue reading I Think We’re Gonna Save It Yeah
Today I popped into (get it) the Scottish fashion pop up in Princes Square. When I heard my favourite Rebecca Torres had some sale and sample pieces on offer I couldn’t resist, despite my skintness after the yucky dentist trip. Not only are there Torres on sale but a range of other fabulous Scottish designers. I was very close to buying the gorgeous Iona Joanne … Continue reading Princes Square Pop Up Shop
I’ve mentioned before how I love a little bit of vintage. I’ve always liked having things that are one of a kind or limited edition and vintage is exactly that. With that in mind I was pretty excited when a little email dropped in my inbox inviting me to join in with the Beyond Retro blogger competition. Beyond Retro have an amazing selection of Kimonos, … Continue reading From that Thrift Shop Down the Road
Thank god it’s Friday, what a busy and tiring week I’ve have. Just as well I was super organised last weekend and got not one but two outfits photographed. I love this dress I got for my anniversary dinner last year but I’ve not been able to wear it as much as I’d like. Then last weekend I had the bright obvious idea of throwing … Continue reading Cheers to the Freakin Weekend
This post is a bit later than I planned due to it raining all morning. I know I should be used to it living in Scotland and be more organised, but I’ve always been a bit last minute. My lovely sister got me this dress for my birthday. She either knows me far too well or had been poking about on my Pinterest because I’ve … Continue reading Why Does it Always Rain on Me
The thing is it is winter though and it’s freezing. This Rebecca Torres was my New Year’s Eve dress and I’ve been desperate to give it it another outing but tights just don’t do the dress justice. So today I braved the cold by layering up on top and took the opportunity of having a willing photographer to get these shots on the river. I … Continue reading It’s Never Winter when it’s Donna Summer All Year Long
You may have heard me gushing about the divine Chouchou hoods before, I’m in love with them. A little bit of Italian style, in the form of Silvia Pellegrino, has turned the practical hood into a must have fashion accessory. Chouchou celebrated her fourth birthday last week with a lovely little birthday bash at Veldt and took the opportunity to showcase the new S/S14 collection. … Continue reading Chouchou 4th Birthday Celebrations
My first outfit post since I got back from Oz. I’m holding on to that Aussie feeling by trying to work some of the clothes I bought over there into my winter wardrobe. It’s not the easiest and this was not really a practice outfit, I froze walking from car to building, building to car. But hey it shows off the remainder of my tan … Continue reading Big Black Boots, Long Blonde Hair
And that something red is me, well at least it was a couple days ago. I have been pretty dutiful in applying my sunscreen, my Scottish skin is not used to so much sun. One day last week it was cloudy though and I was a bit lazy about re applying, of course I got sunburned only on my front though. It was not a … Continue reading Took Something Perfect and Painted it Red
Yesterday I took a trip down to the Valley in the city centre. This is the hub of all things cool and hip in Brisbane. I spent a good few hours trawling through the mix of designer boutiques and vintage stores. I could have spent a small fortune in the boutiques. Fallow was a favourite hidden on the first floor of what looks like an … Continue reading Hot Summer Days, Rock n Roll
