Last night I was feeling creative and had some spare time on my hands. I decided to finish off a dress I had started ages ago. I didn’t take any pictures to start with so you’ll have to bear with me, you may recall my diagrams aren’t the best! It’s really simple dress to make and only really takes about an hour, I had issues … Continue reading I would go out tonight, but i haven’t got a stitch to wear
There are a few songs this week that a really love, one of them I’ve actually been listening to for a couple of weeks. I’ve noticed there are a few songs around right now which have an operatic or choir sounds in the intro’s and background. Two that I love are Bastille and Ellie Gouldings’s new tracks. Bastille you may or may not have heard … Continue reading Pompeii & Explosions
Bafta’s last night and I’m glad to say I managed to see most of it before my bf made me change the channel. I’m so glad Ben Affleck won for Argo, it’s such a brilliant film. I really liked his speech too, touching and inspiring. We all know what we really watch for is to see the dresses though! There was a few I really … Continue reading The Winner Takes it All
Monochrome is massive this season, it’s everywhere in the shops. I love it, I could easily spend my entire wage in Zara. They have some lovely stripey blouses and really cool body con skirts. These trousers I bought last summer in the sale though. I decided to take my photos in the bf’s office today as he is ridiculously tidy and as you may have … Continue reading Black and White town
I was going to do a nail tutorial this week, but two things happened. Firstly, I have an important case going on at work this week so didn’t think multicoloured and glitter was appropriate. Secondly, I stupidity forgot to take the pictures of each stage. I couldn’t bear to have them plain so I added a little black detail. And here’s a little drawing of … Continue reading Seven Nation Army
Another great Scottish guitar band, they are based in Glasgow but not sure if they are originally all from here. These guys have been around for a while now, their first album was released in 2006. They are already pretty known in America but this year might be the year they breakthrough here. Their new single, The Woodpile, has been taken up by Radio 1 … Continue reading The Woodpile
I’ve lost my photographer today so you’ll need to excuse my bad photos and messy room! I was considering not getting dressed at all today but I’m off to check out a little puppy, unfortunately not for me! I just wanted to be comfy today and warm of course! This little skirt is perfect, its stretchy and I have it in about four different colours. … Continue reading Lazy Sunday Afternoon
You may have seen my tweet earlier this week on my amazing Zara sale finds. These trousers are one if them! It was three days before payday but I couldn’t resist them. They are a brilliant red colour and have a lace pattern all over. It’s still freezing so I teamed them with a chunky oversized jumper and my trusty leather jacket (I wear it … Continue reading Lady in Red
This is my new favourite song. Heard it on the radio earlier this week and been playing it on You Tube since. It’s by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Macklemore has been around for years, releasing EP’s and videos online. I have to admit this is the first I’ve heard of him though. Ryan Lewis is his producer.I think they’ve got an old school Eminem and … Continue reading Thift Shop
I always like to have my nails painted, I think your nails look naked without some nail polish. When I was a student I used to paint all sorts of colours and designs. I would get so frustrated at how quickly they chipped though and gave up when I started working and found I had less free time. In the last year I have discovered … Continue reading Wed-nails-day!
