I’d like to say I was inspired by this So Nailicious tutorial but as the design is exactly the same, copy is probably more accurate. Hey, at least you can’t say I’m not honest. I loved this simple monochrome design when I spied it on Pinterest and as I was lacking in inspiration myself thought I’d give it a go. I changed the design up … Continue reading Copywritten so, Don’t Copy Me
Borrowing half of my favourite Cranberries album to justify what seems to be the standard post from all music bloggers right now. Well they had it right, why can’t I? Unfortunately I don’t have the time to put together a comprehensive list like some of my bigger more professional counterparts. I was pleased to see some of my choices over the past year have made … Continue reading Everyone Else is Doing It
Who says yellow is a summer colour? When it’s this cold and frosty you need to inject bright colours into you wardrobe. These yellow jeans were a bargain in Forever 21 at the end of the summer and after a few wears I now know why, they get bigger as you wear them and end up sagging off your bum. Not a good look! I’m … Continue reading They Call Me Mellow Yellow
A wide brimmed hat maybe a bloggers perfect item. It hides a multitude of sins. Hair a bit messy, stick the hat on; massive spot on your forehead, stick the hat on; horrid bags under your eyes, stick the hat on. Not just that it protects you from all manner of Scottish weather; whether that be wind, rain or sunshine. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, … Continue reading You Can Leave Your Hat On
Obviously I had to have some Art Deco nails to go along with my roaring twenties party. Black and gold being the natural choice. Simple design but it takes considerable patience to get the lines that slim and straight believe me. Worth it though, it’s all in the details. Clutch – Collette (Australia) Polish – Blue Sky Shellac Back to Black – Beyonce … Continue reading Back to Black
Indeed it did not, we had an absolute ball. What better way to say goodbye to your roaring twenties than to party like Jay Gatsby. Having never had a party before (and most likely never have one again) I thought I might as well go all out. After a little browse on Pinterest I had plenty of inspiration. I spent the few days before my … Continue reading A Little Party Never Killed Nobody
Frozen indeed, I think we hit a high of 1degree on Sunday when we shot these photos. I may have been wrapped up in coat and faux fur but it didn’t take long for my fingers and toes to go numb. Seb had a ball playing in the frost though, ok maybe we both did. Short post today as I’m still feeling a little rough … Continue reading Before You Know It Your Frozen
Yip tomorrow I turn the big 3 – 0! I know scary thought! Now believe me when I say having a birthday on NYE is pretty rubbish. Even more so in Scotland as we have big celebrations for Hogmany. I know what your thinking that should be great right? Wrong. I’ve never had a proper party because of the stupid date and in general everyone … Continue reading It’s My Birthday, It’s My Birthday
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to you all. I am a very lucky girl and a little Canon DSLR arrived in my stocking. Needless to say I was a little excited and started snapping everything in sight! I don’t know much about photography but I’ve read enough blog tutorials to know the basics. The one problem is my … Continue reading She’s So Lucky
That’s me finally sorted. All the presents wrapped, last minute essentials purchased and food already to go in the oven. Even Seb’s ready with his new antlers. I’m feeling particularly excited this year as I’m hosting Christmas dinner. I’m looking forward to having a full table of family and friends, let’s just hope I don’t ruin the food. Hope you all have a lovely christmas! … Continue reading Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
