Won’t Fool the Children of the Revolution

Last Thursday was the first Fashion Revolution Day, marking the one year anniversary of the horrific factory collapse in Bangladesh. Over a thousand people lost their lives and hundreds more where injured. All were working in clothing factories with questionable conditions and really should make us question where our clothes comes from. That’s the idea of Fashion Revolution Day anyway. You may have seen my … Continue reading Won’t Fool the Children of the Revolution

I Can See Clearly Now

Most of you probably don’t know that I wear glasses. I much prefer my contacts and my specs were so old and battered I refused to wear them outside the house. Well, that was until my optician told me I was damaging my eyes wearing my contacts too much. Not good, especially when he told me it was irreparable. Scary stuff, only one thing for … Continue reading I Can See Clearly Now

King of My Castle

As much as I love the sunny weather it is not my friend. I really need to get myself a proper camera and brush up my photography skills. I got these snaps on Easter Sunday. I had a lovely little day visiting my mum with my sister and a friend. Typical Easter Sunday, yummy lunch and a tonne of chocolate. Oh and the standard present … Continue reading King of My Castle

The Walls Came Crumbling Down

Bank Holiday weekend and it’s sunny, who could believe it! What else to do but head out with my boys for a walk and even a bit of history. We took a mini road trip to The Falkirk Wheel. We quickly headed up to the Antonine Wall walk, an excitable Labrador and bank holiday crowds aren’t the best combination. The Antonine Wall is one of … Continue reading The Walls Came Crumbling Down

Original Pirate Material

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

I Put My New Shoes On

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

Lush – Spring to Skin

Last Thursday evening the fabulous Miss West End Girl invited me along to a little blogger event she helped organise at Lush on Sauchiehall St. I’ve not had much experience of Lush and was more than pleasantly surprised. I never realised that Lush are entirely handmade in the UK, cruelty free, completely vegetarian and lots are even vegan friendly. On the night we were told … Continue reading Lush – Spring to Skin

Blue Eyed Girl

Happy Mothers Day to all you mummies (and almost mummies Roz), I hope you will all be suitably spoiled today. I’ll be spending my day with my wonderful mum and siblings. I was gonna share a poem to mark the day but thought I’d stick to what I’m good at and share this rather wonderful track instead. It is one of my mum’s favourites and … Continue reading Blue Eyed Girl

I’ve Looked at Life that Way

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
