I don’t know what it is about nautical stripes but they just feel so summery. Just like hearing The Beach Boys instantly makes it summer to me, perhaps because as children we were only allowed to play their greatest hits between June and August each year. The nautical look particularly appeals to me for the monochrome element of it. This little top is super cute, … Continue reading We come on the Sloop John B

I love Jennifer Aniston’s style, she looks great in everything. Day to day she’s got a relaxed look, jeans, cutoffs and simple tops. Perhaps it’s the gorgeous hair, glowing tan and fabulous figure that makes her look amazing in such simple outfits. I’m not jealous though because she’s so lovely, is there anyone out there that doesn’t love Ms Aniston? It’s easily recreated on the … Continue reading I Like those Stylish Clothes You Wear
I’m sorry I’ve not had a proper wed-nails-day for weeks. I left my lamp at Roz’s after our little girls night and only picked it up during the week. I’ve been seeing a lot if Aztec prints around, which I love btw, so thought I’d give it a go on my nails. I decided to not to paint the pattern on every nail. For two … Continue reading Don’t Stop til You Get Enough
This American band is fronted by Alex Ebert, formerly of Ima Robot. This being his second incarnation after sobering up and spending some time in rehab. They have already had some success with their first two albums. The majority of their success is gleaned from their songs featuring in adverts, which is becoming an ever more popular way of garnering new listeners. Their songs Home … Continue reading Better Days
I remember You carrying me on your shoulders Being quiet during the day because you were on nightshift Collecting tadpoles from the park Standing on your feet to dance Walking everywhere You teaching me times tables You borrowing holiday clothes from my brothers Making me learn the value of the pound, the hard way Fixing everything for me, still. No ones perfect but I’m lucky … Continue reading Daddy, Daddy Cool
So she may not be my favourite celebrity, I mean who cheats on Robert Pattison? But she has just been crowned Glamours Best Dressed for 2013 and I do like her style. Laid back, cool and simple, can’t fault it really. I get the impression she just wears what she likes and doesn’t care about having her photo taken or the tabloids opinion of it. … Continue reading I Like Those Stylish Clothes You Wear
Last week I popped along to a shopping event at Hummingbird. The event, Keep Calm and Go Shopping, certainly sounded like my kinda thing featuring collections from vintage clothing brands and handmade jewellery and accessory collections. I do like having something a bit different. The brands were spread over the first and second floor of the bar. I made a beeline for the vintage clothing, … Continue reading Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile
My new favourite summer track. It’s cool, clever and reeks of summer. Portugal. The Man are an American indie rock band. They’ve been together since 2005 and since then haven’t really stopped, either recording or touring. They’ve released an album/EP pretty much every year and have played at every festival running it seems. Their latest album has been produced by Danger Mouse, the producer with … Continue reading Modern Jesus
Doesn’t the sun just make you want to spend time with those close to you and do simple things like BBQ’s. It just makes it impossible not to smile I think. It is getting tougher to get dressed everyday though. I have so many summer clothes, despite living in Scotland, and want to wear everything before the rain returns. These cute little shorts are Primark’s … Continue reading Fun and Sunshine, There’s Enough for Everyone
