It’s Sunday and I’m in the midst of a horrific hangover and pile of work to do for tomorrow. That means today’s post will be short and sweet. There’s not a lot that needs to be said in any event. This outfit includes all my favourites for autumn/winter, perfect dress, OTK boots and tartan. Teamed that with my gorgeous boy and this gorgeous sky … Continue reading Through this Iron Sky
Fresh from my little holiday up North, yesterday I had a whole day to finalise some plans for my birthday party, not often I get a whole day free. I now have a venue, DJ, decorations and invites ordered. Everything is starting to fall into place and I’m getting more and more excited. My birthday is Hogmany, New Years Eve for you non scots, so … Continue reading All My Little Plans and Schemes
It may just be me but a walk along a crisp scottish beach can be just as lovely as warm sunny one. It reminds me of winter days out to the likes of Largs and Helensburgh. All bundled up for a walk and then chips on the promenade before home. Our little cabin is only a short journey from some lovely beaches on the Moray … Continue reading The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
Posting is likely to be a little sporadic this week. We’re on a little holiday in the Scottish Highlands and network coverage is pretty much non existent. I think I like having a little break from the constant facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates though. We drove through the gorgeous Cairngorms national park on route to our little cabin and of course stopped to let furry … Continue reading You’ll Take the High Road
A very late wed-nails-day. It’s November and so poppies are everywhere to commemorate Remembrance Day which falls on the 11th November. There’s a lot of discussion over the wearing of poppies, particularly given every single person on TV seems to be forced to wear one these days. For my part, no I don’t agree with many of the wars our government has lead us into … Continue reading In Flanders Field the Poppies Blow
When The George Hotel asked me if I wanted to come try out their new winter menu I was more than happy to oblige. Their Tempus Restaurant is lovely and a trip to Edinburgh gives me a chance to catch up with uni friends. I organised this a few weeks ago and it worked out perfectly. After a long stressful week a big glass of … Continue reading From the Back of the Restaurant
You know how bloggers are always talking about balancing blogging with work and life? Well these past two weeks I completely failed at that. I’ve had a super busy two weeks at work which has completely wiped me out. You may have noticed an almost complete absence from Twitter, Instagram and facebook. So this weekend has been mostly about relaxing on the sofa and recharging, … Continue reading Easy Like Sunday Morning
When you love indie rock as much as me this new Coasts track can’t help but grab your attention. It has a definite hint of two of my favourites Twin Atlantic and The 1975. These guys hail from Bristol and have been going for a few years now and this track itself isn’t exactly new. It was released earlier this year before getting a little … Continue reading A Rush of Blood
I’ve been wanting to learn how to cook and bake for a while now. I’m always so jealous when see awesome kitchen creations on Pinterest or instagram. So when I was invited along to Curry’s blogger bake off, I was equally excited and nervous. Thankfully I wasn’t the only clueless baker and my little team, Laura, Laura and Gillian, worked together pretty well to create … Continue reading If I knew You Were Coming I’d have Baked a Cake
With so many options on where to stay in Barcelona I thought I’d share a little post on my hotel. Hotel Miramar is a gorgeous 1920’s building restored and extended into a 5* hotel, nestled in the beautiful Montjuic hill. The hotel effortlessly mixes the traditional building and grounds with modern interior. The spa and outdoor pool are divine and something you don’t … Continue reading Barcelona – Hotel Miramar
