This is my last post from Italy, this means summer is well and truly over. This wonderful little holiday seems like so long ago now, must be time to start planning the next one I think. On our last day in Rome we had a late flight and so pretty much a whole day to enjoy the city. Our hotel was only a few … Continue reading A Walk in the Park
Eve Belle is a 17year old singer/songwriter from Donegal. She released this track back in May but it only came to my attention last Sunday. Late to the party with this one, though in my defence the video is new. What a beautiful track to come across on a lazy Sunday morning though. Obviously I instantly had a wee search on Apple Music and to … Continue reading Too Young to Feel this Old
Every year they have a graduate show in Glasgow School of Art and every year I miss it. I’ve no idea why, I’m just a bit useless. The Gallery of Modern Art, GoMA, regularly features pieces from The Art Schools successful graduates and is currently showcasing Devils in the Making. If the neon signs alone weren’t enough to tempt me in, the knowledge of all … Continue reading She studied Sculpture at St Martin’s College
After our disaster first time round, second was a charm. We pre booked the tickets online, this is essential if you don’t want to queue for hours in the baking sun. Along with the tickets we booked an audio tour rather than a guided one, if I’m honest those tour groups are just annoying, stopping everywhere and taking up loads of space. The museums are … Continue reading The Vatican – Part 2
Dry brush nail art is the new big nail art trend. I saw quite a few models rocking this look on the catwalk during fashion week. Obviously I had to give it a go. This is most likely the easiest nail art I’ve ever tried. I went for a gold base coat rather than the white; I think its more fitting for Autumn. Firstly, I … Continue reading Brush Strokes
Our first trip to the Vatican was a massive fail. Not only did we miss the Pope’s blessing, we do like a lie in. But Sunday is not the day to visit the centre of the Catholic Church, everything is closed. Not really surprising. Just as well really as my outfit was not Vatican appropriate either, no uncovered shoulders or shorts people. We had time … Continue reading Sunday’s Getting More Bleak
Isn’t your day just that little bit better when the sun comes out? Good day sunshine indeed, though this might be the last sunny post this year. Nevermind Autumn, winter is definitely coming. You can tell I wasn’t expecting the sun, hence the jumper. Maybe the sunshine yellow tempted her out again. These flares are actually a jumpsuit. I adore the colour and wide legs … Continue reading Good Day Sunshine
I don’t care what anyone says about guitar music, I love it just as much as I did in 1996, yup I’m that old. This track could slot into that Brit Pop scene quite easily. Though it is has that modern made in your basement sound to it. Black Honey are one of those mysterious bands that no one really knew anything about. They didn’t … Continue reading Corrine
Don’t you just love a long holiday weekend? In Glasgow this is our September weekend, which for me means Friday and Monday off work. If I could work Tuesday to Thursday every week I’d be a happy girl. So what to do with an extra day off work? Day trip of course and first thought is always the beach. I packed Seb up in the … Continue reading She was a Day Tripper
On our first day in Rome we decided to jump right in to tourist central and check out the Pantheon and Colosseum. Our hotel was a short stroll, passed the unfortunately still under construction Trevi Fountain, to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is quite simply stunning. The columned entrance is only a start; the opened domed ceiling, ornate detailing and tiled floors are a must see. … Continue reading When In Rome
