You may have seen lots of tweets and instagrams the other day from French Connection. I was there as part of their Sketch to Store campaign. On the night everyone was invited to create outfits from their new collection, with one photo winning money to spend in store. I don’t know when the winner is selected as I got a bit lost in the night, … Continue reading I Don’t Speak French
So it’s well and truly autumn in Glasgow, if not winter in fact. Lucky for me then that the lovely folks at Barratts sent me these boots.

These boots are perfect for the … Continue reading All the Leaves are Brown
What a lovely little day I had on Sunday at Merchant Square craft and design fair. I didn’t realise they had this each weekend and is definitely worth a visit. The vendors are quick strictly checked to ensure everything on offer is hand made and if good quality.

It was great to get some advice on how to use the different products … Continue reading Sun-kissed Skin, So Hot
Continuing with my girl love this week with Deap Vally, two gorgeous girl rockers from San Fernando Valley. I just love that these two met at crochet class and now make such bad ass rock tunes. These are strong woman who say what they want. The songs remind me of all those angry female vocalists from the 90’s, but there is style and humour to … Continue reading Lies
I’ve seen a few posts recently about tattoos and it has renewed my want for another one. I’ve got two tattoos already which I gave a lot of thought too, so no I won’t regret them when I’m old as people ways ask. This time I know exactly what I want, a Latin quote which means a lot to me. I can’t decide where to … Continue reading I’m Asking for Help

Her latest collection is a twist on your standard workwear entitled ‘Booted not Suited’. She has considered the modern working world and created styles around the jobs we … Continue reading Booted Not Suited

Some weeks I managed 5 but mostly it was 4 times. This last week I started well as it was the last week but by Friday it all went to pot.
