New Music Monday is a lovely little cover from the brilliant Glasgow band Chvrches. They performed a little set for radio 1 live lounge last week which included this East 17 cover. I love the modern retro, is that a thing, electro edge they’ve given to it. It was Christmas number 1 as well so keeps with the festive feeling. Continue reading Thought I heard you Say you Loved Me
Yesterday was the day I had to start my Christmas shopping. I’ve been so busy at work this year that I’ve been really disorganised and not even given a thought to what presents to get. I have to say I’m pretty chuffed with myself as I managed to get everything in one shopping trip, despite the storm like weather. So what to wear Christmas shopping … Continue reading Time for Presents
Today is Save the Children Christmas jumper day. I’d be lying if I said I have mine on, it wouldn’t be appropriate for work unfortunately. Here’s me at the blogger Christmas party on Tuesday though. It was such a good night, thank you to Scott and Steph for arranging. So get your jumper on, tweet it and text to donate some money. It is Christmas … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas
I’m definitely getting into the Christmas spirit now. I bought my tree at the weekend, though we can’t find the decorations so it’s naked in the living room. Now I’ve gone all festive on my nails with this little Christmas lights design. I can’t claim credit for designing this one myself, I came across it on Pinterest. The tutorial I saw used black thread which … Continue reading Those Christmas Lights
Honeyblood are female duo from Glasgow, obviously I’m going to love them. The pair, Shona McVicar and Stina Tweedale, met through the close knit Glasgow music scene while both were in other bands. They decided life would be better without boys and Honeyblood was born. Their tracks are firmly rooted in the indie category with their first EP, Thift Shop, literally recorded on a 4 … Continue reading Bud
I kicked of the festive party season with a little girls night in last weekend. I was offered a cocktail night in my own home, or a friends in my case, from Social and Cocktail, how could I say no? I love these guys they bring a bar, lots of booze and everything they could need to make a selection of yummy cocktails. You may … Continue reading Working as a Waitress in a Cocktail Bar
I’ve not posted a wishlist in ages and since it’s nearly Christmas (and my birthday) I thought it was about time for another one, hint hint. There’s a few classics I’ve been wanting forever but never seem to pick up, camel coat, leather trousers. A few big tends this season, fedora hat, tartan crop top. A few because they are so pretty, brocade and lace. … Continue reading All I Want for Christmas
Today’s #ShareAdvent is all about wreaths. I really want to make my own this year so if course my first stop was Pinterest for some ideas and DIY’s. I found three styles that a really love. I’m not organised enough to have researched and made my wreath by the 4th December, I plan to make mine this weekend. Now just to decide which one. The … Continue reading Prettiest sight to see is the Holly that will be, on your own Front Door
So I missed the #ShareAdvent tag yesterday as I’m rubbish. The prompt was write a letter and send it, so here’s my letter Dear Australia, Thank you for taking good care of my bother, sister in law and most importantly my gorgeous niece for the last year and a half. I hear you are having some pretty fabulous weather just now, so I thought I’d … Continue reading Land Down Under
This year I’m planning on joining in with Skin and Blister’s #ShareAdvent. She has provided a prompt for each day in the run up to Christmas Day. You can join in by blogging, tweeting or instagraming. Today’s prompt is Joy to the World, a classic Christmas carol. It doesn’t really seem fitting today though following the tragedy in Glasgow this weekend. I’m sure you will … Continue reading Joy to the World
