At the end of April I was invited along to the INAA finalists event for the Scottish Hair and Beauty Awards. My friends Roz and Bex were also invited. Bex took some amazing photos, which I featured below. I’ll admit I hadn’t heard of the hosts website before. INAA stands for I need an appointment and helps you find beauty salons in your local area … Continue reading Fresh from the Barber Shop or Fly from the Beauty Salon
Last Sunday me and the man went out for what was meant to be dinner, but turned into dinner and quite a few cocktails. We went to The Boathouse in Kilsyth which is not far from us. The food is always delicious and there’s a great view out onto the canal. I’m going through a bit of a fish phase just now and got prawn … Continue reading Don’t like his baggy jeans
As much as I love fashion I never have loads of spare cash to be frittering away on expensive clothes. I spend A LOT of time looking for cheaper alternatives to the clothes I see in magazines (Vogue). This month I treated myself to two things I have been wanting for ages. Both I found on eBay, if you’ve got the patience to look its … Continue reading I’m gonna pop some tags, only got $20 in my pocket
This week I have been so busy. I finished my last volunteer shift for childline, I simply don’t have the time with work now to commit to it. I was and still am very sad to have to leave, but its time to move on. I’ve taken on a new role at work too which I have been working on this week. Although it is … Continue reading Under the top and bottom buttons
This weeks On the Cover features French Vogue’s May issue. The gorgeous dress is Dior Haute Couture, you can imagine how much that will cost. I’ve not been able to find the details for the shoes and tights as I don’t have the magazine. I think the shoes look like Jimmy Choo’s though. I found this dress on ASOS in the sake for only £19, … Continue reading On the Cover of a Magazine
It seems like Maxi skirts are everywhere just now, seen quite a few blog posts featuring them. I’m desperate to make a few in different colours but always forget to buy elastic when I’m out, doh. So I’m stuck with this one you’ve seen before for now. This vest I loved so much that I bought it even though it was 2 sizes too big. … Continue reading It’s Been A Long Cold Lonely Winter
This week I’m featuring a gorgeous outfit from Vogue’s ‘with the band’ feature, in their May Issue. Aren’t those bright colours and glossy fabrics just beautiful? A little bit on the costly side though with the pants from Jean Paul Gaultier at £650, blouse from Nina Ricci at £650 and a whooping £1,120 for the Louis Vuitton wedges. I found these lovely palazzo pants from … Continue reading On the cover of a Magazine
It’s been a pretty lazy weekend. Have enjoyed some lovely dog walks in the milder weather and it’s been nice to just relax and do not very much. It did mean I got round to sorting things which have been boxed up since the move. Most importantly setting up my beloved old school sewing machine. I’m inspired and I’m going to buy some patterns etc … Continue reading Don’t even need to buy a new dress
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Vogue. I love those glossy pages filled with beautiful photos and amazing outfits. I hate that I can’t afford anything in it. Even the high street items are rarely under the £100 mark. But hey we all want what we can’t have right? Wrong! I’ve decided to do a regular post taking outfits from vogue … Continue reading On the cover of a magazine
