You know how we all thought it was spring? It’s still bloody freezing in Glasgow, can someone tell Mother Nature please. Anyway I thought I’d bring some spring to my nails with this little cherry blossom pattern. When I was a kid there was some at the bottom of my street. I always loved how pretty the cherry blossoms were and how they covered the … Continue reading The Leaves are Shining in the Sun
Layla formerly known as Jose Vanders, has been around for a little while. Her previous tracks, Oh My Love, Tease, are sweet melody filled loveliness leaving you with a warm feeling inside. I’m not complaining, I really liked them. Her new track Smokestacks really grabbed my attention though with as it has a very different feel. It begins slowly with simple piano but as soon … Continue reading Smokestacks
Last Thursday evening the fabulous Miss West End Girl invited me along to a little blogger event she helped organise at Lush on Sauchiehall St. I’ve not had much experience of Lush and was more than pleasantly surprised. I never realised that Lush are entirely handmade in the UK, cruelty free, completely vegetarian and lots are even vegan friendly. On the night we were told … Continue reading Lush – Spring to Skin
I’ve had a pretty busy week as usual and still loads to do before 5pm. I’ve really got that Friday feeling though, maybe its the old skool naughties r’n’b that was on the radio this morning getting me off to a good start. I’ve been busy not just with work but this little blog too. I’ve sorted on my Facebook page, you can like it … Continue reading It’s The End of the Week
It’s Thursday folks, you know what that means, almost the weekend! This weekend will be the first in a while I’ve had no work to do, how I’m looking forward to it. Here’s another little work wear post, this may become a feature. I love this little jacket, it has a Chanel feel about it but was a complete bargain. It also goes with pretty … Continue reading I’ve Been Working All Week
It really is supposed to be spring now, clocks have gone forward, mother’s day is passed and we’re now in April. I don’t think anyone’s told mother nature though, it still freezing here. I was going to say at least its dry and we have blue skies, but today in Glasgow it is pouring down, sods law. On Sunday I figured I’d brighten things up … Continue reading Mr Blue Sky
I discovered Natalie Holmes online this week. She is a singer songwriter with a wonderfully delicate voice which fits perfectly over piano and acoustic guitar. This track displays her talents with the intimate lyrics and beautiful combination of acoustics. Any girl that cites Bon Iver as an influence is one to watch in my book. The 20yr old from Bristol has released two EP’s already, … Continue reading Child
Happy Mothers Day to all you mummies (and almost mummies Roz), I hope you will all be suitably spoiled today. I’ll be spending my day with my wonderful mum and siblings. I was gonna share a poem to mark the day but thought I’d stick to what I’m good at and share this rather wonderful track instead. It is one of my mum’s favourites and … Continue reading Blue Eyed Girl
Military is one of those trends that becomes massive every now and then but is always lurking around somewhere. This jacket is perfect example of that. It reminds me of the Sergeant Pepper jackets, if only it was bright red I’d probably never take it off. Lovely Roz took these photos last night before we headed off the Lush Spring into Skin event. If you … Continue reading They’ve been Going in and Out of Style
Ms Day is my new girl crush. I found this track online and instantly fell in love. It is released on limited edition 7” on 7th April or you can get it on soundcloud. Her voice is enchanting and the emotion in this track captures you. There is an air of melancholy in the chorus ‘can we go back to the love we had’ that … Continue reading 1965
