Last week I asked for some holiday nail inspiration. A few of you came back voting for glitter, though when I floated this idea with some of my friends one described them as Eurotrash. Not really the look I was going for, fingers crossed they’re a bit classier than that. I’ll admit these were a bit of a nightmare, glitter always gets everywhere and is … Continue reading Eurotrash Nails

Getting it wrong first time round seems to be becoming a theme with my nails. I picked up the little nail stamping kit and had planed a golden floral design on the purple base.

Never try to paint your nails in a hurry, it’ll always end I disaster. I was planning a design using matt and gloss top coats. After almost a hour it was obvious there wasn’t enough of a contrast on this red for the design to work. Did I give up? Nope, if at first you don’t succeed and all that. I layered up on the … Continue reading If At First You Don’t Succeed

If I thought this duo were cool last year when I featured Jump Hi, in the meantime they have only got cooler. Check out this video for a start, Beyoncé eat your heart out. This … Continue reading Impossible
It’s all about the culottes, I’m having a love affair with them right now. The only thing stopping me buying every colour and pattern is my bank balance. When I saw these beauties on ASOS they had to be mine, they double up as workwear so that makes it ok Mr Bank Blance right? The colour is nothing short of brilliant and reminds me of … Continue reading Mad Men
The past few weeks have been busy and stressful and generally rubbish. When times get tough it’s easy to let it drag your mood down, I’ve been fighting against that though. Instead just focusing on the simple things that make me smile. Some pretty yellow flowers. Spending time with my wonderful sister, who took these photos. My beautiful boy Seb and his little waggy tail … Continue reading I’ll Cherish the Simple Things
In Scotland we don’t appear to be getting a summer this year, so all the sunshine filled holiday tracks on the radio are getting a starting to grate just a little. Then I came across this beautiful little track from Hazel English, apparantly not her real name nor is she English. There’s lots of chat of how this is full of summer and beachy vibes. … Continue reading It’s Not Real
