Thankfifi – Secret Little Stars – Be Frassy – Frank Vinyl I’ve not posted a wishlist for a while. I’m a victim of the weather though as its dark by the time I finish work and has been raining all weekend so no outfit photos for me. My two favourites for this season this season have got to be over knee boots and faux fur. … Continue reading On A Shopping Spree
When The George Hotel asked me if I wanted to come try out their new winter menu I was more than happy to oblige. Their Tempus Restaurant is lovely and a trip to Edinburgh gives me a chance to catch up with uni friends. I organised this a few weeks ago and it worked out perfectly. After a long stressful week a big glass of … Continue reading From the Back of the Restaurant
These guys got me with their cool name, Lion Babe. They’re twosome Jillian Harvey and Lucas Goodman. I loved their first track which was out a whole year ago! Finally there’s a follow up. Any track that features Childish Gambino I know I’m going to like. Add in a Nina Simone sample and I’m sold. This is a forerunner to an EP which promises to … Continue reading Jump Hi
You know how bloggers are always talking about balancing blogging with work and life? Well these past two weeks I completely failed at that. I’ve had a super busy two weeks at work which has completely wiped me out. You may have noticed an almost complete absence from Twitter, Instagram and facebook. So this weekend has been mostly about relaxing on the sofa and recharging, … Continue reading Easy Like Sunday Morning
The leaves are now falling from the trees and I was inspired to bring a little autumn to my nails. It helped that my new polishes arrived including this deep blue, copper and Matt top coat. This design was a little a bit footery, especially the dark veins on the leaves. It’s definitely doable though if you have a small brush and some time. I’m … Continue reading All the Leaves are Brown
When you love indie rock as much as me this new Coasts track can’t help but grab your attention. It has a definite hint of two of my favourites Twin Atlantic and The 1975. These guys hail from Bristol and have been going for a few years now and this track itself isn’t exactly new. It was released earlier this year before getting a little … Continue reading A Rush of Blood
Big trend for this season is bare legs and knee high boots. I have a total of two pairs of knee high boots, one brown and one black. I may need to invest in some if I’m going to rock this look all winter. This is another little off shoulder item I’ve picked up. I’m obsessed with these and picked this and another dress up … Continue reading Summer has Come and Past
Let me tell you shooting outfit photos in the dark is not easy. It’s dark here by 7pm now which isn’t good, God knows what I’m going to do when we get into proper winter. I don’t know how I managed to go all summer without flouncing around in this bad boy, maybe because I buy so many clothes I forgot about it? Anyway my … Continue reading Carrie Style
I’ve been wanting to learn how to cook and bake for a while now. I’m always so jealous when see awesome kitchen creations on Pinterest or instagram. So when I was invited along to Curry’s blogger bake off, I was equally excited and nervous. Thankfully I wasn’t the only clueless baker and my little team, Laura, Laura and Gillian, worked together pretty well to create … Continue reading If I knew You Were Coming I’d have Baked a Cake
I didn’t have a music monday planned for today, I was too busy baking all day yesterday! This morning I heard Pharrell on the radio though and he recommended this guy in passing. I’ve loved Pharrell since his Neptune days so when he recommends someone my ears perk up. Quick search on soundcloud brought up Raury’s debut album Indigo Child, released digitally at the beginning … Continue reading God’s Whisper
