No. 35 of my 35 at 35 list is a simple one but perhaps the biggest, being comfortable with my body. I think this is something that most women struggle with, particularly at this time of year when temperatures are rising and bikini season is upon us. It’s impossible to escape the message thrust upon us by the media as to what our bikini body … Continue reading Bikini Body Ready? – Ripped in 30 Results
It appears we have skipped spring and straight to summer, beginning with a beautiful Easter Sunday. You can tell I wasn’t expecting it hence the knee high boots. I’m not complaining though, the sun has been the only thing brightening a fairly shitty week. My sister and I spent a lovely easter Sunday with my mum and her two crazy poodles. Seb has a bit of a … Continue reading Here Comes the Sun
Bank Holidays are all about having a break and a little fun and if you seen my facebook this morning long lies. There’s retro movies on TV, Splash anyone? And Radio 1 are rocking One Hit Wonders all day. So when I came across this new Daphne and Celeste song last week I figured it was perfect. For those of you too young to remember this … Continue reading You and I Alone
Is there anything better than a Bank Holiday weekend? Maybe one with a built in excuse to eat chocolate? I only have two days of Ripped in 30 left though so stuffing my face with chocolate probably isn’t the best idea. Might just stick to my favourite little chocolate, the furry kind. This is what dog walk looks like just now. No fancy shoes or … Continue reading Chocolate
It’s nearly Easter, how did that happen? I remember painting hard boiled eggs as a kid and rolling them down a hill. I took this as inspiration for some fun nails to brighten a rather cold gloomy Glasgow. I thought the yellow made a nice base coat to my zig zagged dotted and floral designs. They do make me smile during what is turning … Continue reading Easter Egg Nails
A late one I know, forgive me. I had such a rubbish Sunday where I accomplished entirely nothing. You ever get that complete apathy where anything which requires more brain power than staring at the TV is simply a no go? That was me yesterday. Followed by potentially the worse sleep ever. All in all setting me up for a fairly great monday, flash blogger … Continue reading What’s Real
Those people being my sister, the man went for Zorro. The intended look was 70’s, I like it regardless. You know how much I’m in love with the seventies trend, similarly you know how I love pulling out something long forgotten and giving it a new lease of life. These trousers tick both of those boxes. They were purchased in 2003 and after being firm … Continue reading Some People Call Me the Space Cowboy
Well Hello there lovely people. I know I’ve been a bit absent this week, I can’t really explain why as I’ve been no busier than usual. You know how a big weekend can cast a bit of a shadow over your week though? Well that’s my only excuse given my busy Friday night finished at 7 on Saturday morning last week. But hey it’s Friday … Continue reading Friday I’m in Love
Suede fringed cropped jacket – Fringed Playsuit – Grey fringed bag – tan skirt & crop co-ord – nude mule As you may have noticed from a few of my recent posts, here and here, the 70’s trend is a big favourite of mine. You can’t pull of real chic 70’s without some beautiful suede. I’ve already managed to score a bargain real suede midi skirt on eBay, … Continue reading The Beautiful Ones
Catching a few shots before the sun goes down. Even this industrial part of the River Clyde looks beautiful at this time of the day. This hour before the sun goes down, the golden hour, is supposed to be the best time to take photos. Honestly, I struggled with the light. Really need to find a photography course to help me get to grips … Continue reading The Boardwalk
