This was pretty much the perfect day. The kinda day you work your ass off all year for. After a long lie and big Scottish breakfast we headed to the beach. Oh and what a gorgeous beach it was, we may not have the warmth in Scotland but we do have the beauty. Lossiemouth beach is nestled on a beautiful green forrest so lucky Seb … Continue reading We Gotta Live For These Days
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a Fashion Designer, well after I grew out of wanting to be a caterpillar – long story. Unfortunately I had neither the artistic flare or imagination and my career took a very different path. I still like to live the dream every now and then by whipping up something up on my sewing machine … Continue reading Dedicated Follower of Fashion
I wasn’t sure these were even worth a wed-nails-day post given how basic they are. I painted them quite simply to match my outfit for a black tie dinner last Friday. A week on and I’m really liking them. The gold line helps lengthen my nails, helpful as two were broken playing with Seb on our holidays. The little dots are just kinda fun. Oh … Continue reading Painted It Red
It’s Sunday and I’m in the midst of a horrific hangover and pile of work to do for tomorrow. That means today’s post will be short and sweet. There’s not a lot that needs to be said in any event. This outfit includes all my favourites for autumn/winter, perfect dress, OTK boots and tartan. Teamed that with my gorgeous boy and this gorgeous sky … Continue reading Through this Iron Sky
Fresh from my little holiday up North, yesterday I had a whole day to finalise some plans for my birthday party, not often I get a whole day free. I now have a venue, DJ, decorations and invites ordered. Everything is starting to fall into place and I’m getting more and more excited. My birthday is Hogmany, New Years Eve for you non scots, so … Continue reading All My Little Plans and Schemes
It may just be me but a walk along a crisp scottish beach can be just as lovely as warm sunny one. It reminds me of winter days out to the likes of Largs and Helensburgh. All bundled up for a walk and then chips on the promenade before home. Our little cabin is only a short journey from some lovely beaches on the Moray … Continue reading The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
Posting is likely to be a little sporadic this week. We’re on a little holiday in the Scottish Highlands and network coverage is pretty much non existent. I think I like having a little break from the constant facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates though. We drove through the gorgeous Cairngorms national park on route to our little cabin and of course stopped to let furry … Continue reading You’ll Take the High Road
This is my new favourite dress, it’s perfect for this season. It’s khaki which is seriously trending right now. It’s a wool mix which can keep you warm on sunny autumn days like this but light enough to layer in a few months. And it is so versatile, I’ll be wearing it with everything from day to night. It also has a cute little zip … Continue reading The Perfect Dress
A very late wed-nails-day. It’s November and so poppies are everywhere to commemorate Remembrance Day which falls on the 11th November. There’s a lot of discussion over the wearing of poppies, particularly given every single person on TV seems to be forced to wear one these days. For my part, no I don’t agree with many of the wars our government has lead us into … Continue reading In Flanders Field the Poppies Blow
What’s better than a little bit funk unfused electro pop to cheer us all up on a Monday. This put a smile on my face and a spring in my step so I thought it was perfect to share on such a dull day. Can’t beat a bit of 80’s prince infused pop every now and then. Meanwhile, a completely ungoogleable name btw, is Tom Andrews … Continue reading Icarus
