The temperatures have dipped a little bit and bare legs are becoming decreasingly an option, but the sun is still shining in Glasgow. It’s looking more and more like an Indian summer. Flowers are still in full bloom and they even match my outfit. This dress is one I’ve had for a few months. It instantly puts a smile on my face when I put … Continue reading You’re like an Indian Summer
With so many options on where to stay in Barcelona I thought I’d share a little post on my hotel. Hotel Miramar is a gorgeous 1920’s building restored and extended into a 5* hotel, nestled in the beautiful Montjuic hill. The hotel effortlessly mixes the traditional building and grounds with modern interior. The spa and outdoor pool are divine and something you don’t … Continue reading Barcelona – Hotel Miramar
This is perhaps the epitome of a holiday dress, short, sunset print and body con. I’m not sure I could wear it in Glasgow but it was favourite while I was in Barcelona. I kept the rest simple, you don’t need much else with that print. Gold accessories to compliment the almost tan and flat sandals, trust me heels are not needed in Barcelona. … Continue reading The Sunset Glow
Is there anything better than dressing up in a fancy frock and getting your hair and make up done? One of the perks of my often stressful job is getting attend a black tie event every now and then. So last Friday I had a sneaky wee half day to get ready for one It’s even better when a sparkly little gift like this … Continue reading Fixed Up to the Nines
The Night VI crept onto my radar earlier this year with their single Sienna. I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t feature them as I instantly loved it. Anyway they released a new track Drops last week, a cover of the Jungle track, and popped back into my head so I though better late than never. This little Anglo-French six piece have been on the … Continue reading Sienna/Drops
Is there a more European way to see a city than on a bicycle? I don’t think so. We cheated a bit and hired electric bikes from our hotel, you still need to peddle but you can turn power on if you need it. We needed it to get up the hill to our hotel on the way home but also to have a little … Continue reading Barcelona – I Want to Ride my Bicycle
Remember how much I loved my glitter holidays nails, well my toes got glittered too. I kept it simple with one statement nail and they’re still in tact today. I couldn’t have a boring plain background for these toes. They were on show everyday so the backgrounds are a bit more adventurous. Domino -Jessie J Continue reading Like Glitters Raining on Me
Parc Guell is always pretty high on the list of things to do in Barcelona. As a result it’s always packed with tourists and originally wasn’t high on my list of places to see. When I saw some pictures of the Dr Seuss-esque buildings I had to take a wee peek though. After perfectly arranging Sagrada Familia we totally messed up with Parc Guell. Entry … Continue reading Barcelona – Can We Climb This Mountain
When all my friends started posting their videos on Facebook last week I knew for sure I’d be nominated. I was also sure that no one would nominate me while I was in Barcelona, which turned out to be right. I arrived home on Tuesday to two nominations. So here it is with Seb running around in trying to drink all the icy water. I … Continue reading Ice Bucket Challenge
On our first full day the heavens opened, seriously the rain was worse than Glasgow. We ventured down Las Ramblas, with the help of a hotel umbrella, but with the rain bouncing off the ground and it was no day for exploring. We found a cute little restaurant and stuffed out faces with tapas and wine instead. Given the weather it was the perfect day … Continue reading Barcelona – Take Me to the Church
