Yey, this week I have new nails! This is the first time I’ve tried roses and was a bit disappointed with how they turned out. Everyone that’s seen them has really liked them though so I’m feeling better about them now. I thought I would contrast bright flowers with a dark background. I started with a black base. I then added some big pink dots. … Continue reading Kiss from a Rose
Ever heard your mother say ‘I used to wear clothes just like that when I was your age’ or lust after her clothing in old photo’s? I think it’s true what they say, if you keep your clothes long enough they come back into fashion, that’s my excuse for having so many anyway. I was having a look at the new trends for spring/summer and … Continue reading Déjà Vu
Without getting into detail of boring work I’m now social convenor for the Dumbarton Faculty. This is not as easy task as there are over a hundred people of varying ages and tastes. We have a tradition of a curry night around March each year. This was my first event to organise. I choose Bukhara an Indian restaurant in Glasgow which is attached to the … Continue reading Tomorrow Never Knows
Today I was heading up North, Glenshee, for some snowboarding. Now some people travel up in their base layers, I’m not being seen in public in my base layers, especially when I live 2hours away and need to stop for petrol. I needed something super comfy for traveling and that would keep me warm. It’s freezing here in Glasgow, but up north it’s something else! … Continue reading Set the fire to the Third Bar
No outfits post today folks because I was busy moving! After a long time I have eventually moved in with the boyfriend. It’s been months in the making but finally here. One problem though, I am ridiculously sentimental and like to keep everything. Seriously everything, I found high school exams papers and cinema tickets to toy story, the first one! My boyfriend on the other … Continue reading Movin on Up
I thought I’d share some of my highlights from last nights Brits, for you American’s that our version of the Grammy’s. Firstly Best British Group. I was impressed the vast majority of the nominees were all proper bands, meaning they can actually play an instrument and write a song. I’m so glad Mumford and Sons won, I’ve loved them since I heard Little Lion Man. … Continue reading London Calling
This morning I heard the new UK number 1 on the radio. It is appalling! One Direction have covered Blondie’s One Way or Another and thrown in a bit of teenage kicks as well. I was surprised they had released a cover given the rest of their songs are pretty decent pop tunes. i then discovered it’s the Comic Relief single this year. I know … Continue reading One Way or Another
Happy Valentine’s Day x Continue reading My Funny Valentine
This is my new favourite song. Heard it on the radio earlier this week and been playing it on You Tube since. It’s by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Macklemore has been around for years, releasing EP’s and videos online. I have to admit this is the first I’ve heard of him though. Ryan Lewis is his producer.I think they’ve got an old school Eminem and … Continue reading Thift Shop
