I’ve been hearing this track in Xfm for a few weeks and finally paid attention to what it was. I really need a digital radio where it comes up in your screen. Elle King is daughter of comedian Rob Schneider and model London King. Her music is a mix of county, soul and blues. Just enough blues and soul to take that country edge off. … Continue reading Ex’s and Oh’s
First up, sorry for the rubbish quality photos! This is what happens when you’ve had no outfit posts for two weeks, you plan an photo shoot but forget your camera and it gets dark before you’re anywhere near finished work. Yip that’s winter in Scotland, you have to embrace the night as it starts at 4pm. It’s does mean it time to get wrapped up … Continue reading Throw on Some Leather and Cruise
A French manicure is too boring for me but I wanted something simple after my Halloween nails. After a nude base coat I added these chic little black tips. The tips I painted with a little brush and added the dots with a dotter tool. When painting the tips don’t stress about getting it perfect first time, I found I was able to balance everything … Continue reading Embrasser C’est Francais
Happy Halloween! My tights finally arrived and my costume is complete. After a Friday night crafting, my pumpkins are carved and pumpkin treats ready for the trick or treaters. I do love Halloween. Little addition today of the full costume, I’ve also linked up with Cathrine’s #iwillwearwhatilike post. The tights weren’t long enough so I painted some myself. I’d wear this costume every weekend if … Continue reading Cause this is Thriller, Thriller Night
Just as promised here’s my little Halloween toes. I know it’s not Wednesday, but this nail art is kinda time sensitive. Another simple but effective design. These would work on fingers too, I think I’d go for the middle and ring finger. It’s super easy, just paint a base layer of white first to make the colour really pop against the black. I then needed … Continue reading Evil Eyes
Halloween is upon us and I love it! Last year I completely missed out on the festivities so I’m making up for it this year. Sunday was spent, painting my nails, picking a costume and carving pumpkins! First up is the finger nails. Little bit of skulls, little bit of bats, little bit of beetlejuice. A hint to my costume and super easy; as long … Continue reading Like a Bat Out of Hell
I discovered Jones on Later with Jools Holland where she sung the most beautiful stripped back version of this track. Raised in London by her, not surprisingly, soul loving mum. Despite their electro beats there’s a definite hint of soul in her smooth tracks. Indulge is quite an apt name as this song is quite an indulgence, the whole EP is in fact. Perfect soundtrack … Continue reading Indulge
It’s getting to that time of year when the best way to spend a day is curling up in front of the TV with coffee, or tea in my case. If you have to venture out on a weekend though, I recommend layers. My tip is to invest in some thermal ones. Layer one under your shirt and you can rock all those cute Pinterest … Continue reading Coffee and TV
Quick one today as yesterday I was busy flying to London and today I’m busy with a very exciting little project. I’ll share soon I promise. This is the perfect little mellow track to ease us into the week. Frances is a 21year old, yes another youngster, from Berkshire. Her EP Let It Out is released on 16th October and I just love this track. … Continue reading I Care
Another day another walk in the park, just a little bit of a change in the temperature though. Yip autumn is here; though as I look out of my window this morning and see frost on my car I’m thinking maybe did we jump right into winter? To be fair I’m actually really enjoying this Autumn. In Glasgow we normally have lots of rain but … Continue reading I Went for a Walk, On a Winter’s Day?
