Recently I’ve heard a lot of negative chat about bloggers from other bloggers. The main bones of contention being that the blogs show perfect lives rather than real lives and outfit posts having ‘staged’ outfits. Harsh indeed, where is the love people? I hope no one feels this way about my little corner of the internet. I’ll readily accept that my blog does show the … Continue reading I’ve Looked at Life that Way
I caught the clashing patterns bug and it’s been carried into my workwear, what else would you team with a pinstripe suit but a spotty blouse eh? Since I spent most of my time in office wear I felt it was time for a post. My work is pretty strict so I can’t get away with all the lovely styles you see in ASOS or … Continue reading Working 9 – 5
Quick and simple wed-nails-day today. I’ve been seriously lacking in both inspiration and time to paint my nails. I hate looking at them all naked though so tried out this little coloured moons look. Super simple, paint the lighter colour first then paint the darker over leaving the little moon on show. I painted the purple freehand but if you’ve not got a steady hand … Continue reading Sing to the Moon
Not Papa but me! I was inspired by Thankfifi’s wonderful sheep clutch and figured I could make a similar one with some fur I still have from my Care Bear costume. I’m not normally a pastel pink kinda girl but pastels are everywhere just now and furry handbags where dotted all over the catwalks recently. It’s a fairly simple design, which I can’t take credit … Continue reading Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag
When your rocking sports luxe there’s no better choice than the Lakers. Top team and such a gorgeous combination of colours. I picked up my Bryant top in NYC a few years ago. It’s so much better to have an real strip rather than a cheap high street knock off, as I found in Forever 21.The luxe comes in the form of bargain £2 Primark … Continue reading I Wish a was a Baller
You know there’s all those fashion rules; legs or cleavage, don’t wear white after labour day, don’t mix patterns. It seems we’re all breaking them these days so I thought I would too. I’m in love with this little skort from Primark. I’ve recently discovered it has a matching jacket but who wants matching when you have this wonderful vintage tartan scarf to clash with … Continue reading Should I Stay or Should I Go
Last year I went along to my first Bold Souls event, you can read all about it here. I’m very excited to announce that Bold Souls is back for Summer 2014. One of my favourite designers Ms Chouchou has brought together an amazing selection of local designers for a pop up shop and cat walk show. A favourite of mine from last year Naromode are … Continue reading Bold Souls: Off the Catwalk Summer 2014
A late one, but its been a busy day folks. They say you learn something new everyday and maybe you’ll get your fix from today’s new music Monday. I love Cosmo Sheldrake’s new track The Moss. It opens with the line ‘legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the tree’ and continues to provide a series of random facts in … Continue reading The Moss
I hear that dresses and skirts over trousers are back, not really surprising since the 90’s have been infiltrating high street fashion for over a year now. It’s great news for me because I can pretend like I’m 17 again, finishing school at 3pm, starting to head out to clubs at weekends and my biggest worry being that Chemistry homework I’ve not done. Also I … Continue reading I Think We’re Gonna Save It Yeah
Today I popped into (get it) the Scottish fashion pop up in Princes Square. When I heard my favourite Rebecca Torres had some sale and sample pieces on offer I couldn’t resist, despite my skintness after the yucky dentist trip. Not only are there Torres on sale but a range of other fabulous Scottish designers. I was very close to buying the gorgeous Iona Joanne … Continue reading Princes Square Pop Up Shop
