According to my sister these boots have a pirate feel to them, I was hoping for sixties but figured let’s go with it and take the photos on this model ship. The ship with all it’s ropes and ties was the perfect backdrop to this stripey dress. I picked this up in the ASOS sale, it was only £15 which in my book is a … Continue reading Original Pirate Material
Military is one of those trends that becomes massive every now and then but is always lurking around somewhere. This jacket is perfect example of that. It reminds me of the Sergeant Pepper jackets, if only it was bright red I’d probably never take it off. Lovely Roz took these photos last night before we headed off the Lush Spring into Skin event. If you … Continue reading They’ve been Going in and Out of Style
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
I’ve mentioned before how I love a little bit of vintage. I’ve always liked having things that are one of a kind or limited edition and vintage is exactly that. With that in mind I was pretty excited when a little email dropped in my inbox inviting me to join in with the Beyond Retro blogger competition. Beyond Retro have an amazing selection of Kimonos, … Continue reading From that Thrift Shop Down the Road
Thank god it’s Friday, what a busy and tiring week I’ve have. Just as well I was super organised last weekend and got not one but two outfits photographed. I love this dress I got for my anniversary dinner last year but I’ve not been able to wear it as much as I’d like. Then last weekend I had the bright obvious idea of throwing … Continue reading Cheers to the Freakin Weekend
My first outfit post since I got back from Oz. I’m holding on to that Aussie feeling by trying to work some of the clothes I bought over there into my winter wardrobe. It’s not the easiest and this was not really a practice outfit, I froze walking from car to building, building to car. But hey it shows off the remainder of my tan … Continue reading Big Black Boots, Long Blonde Hair
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
This week I’ve been unbelievably busy hence no posts. Today though I have a well deserved day off to head to a fancy little conference for work. I’m very lucky that I get to go to this every year. It’s held in the gorgeous Old Course Hotel in St Andrews and I get a little cheeky overnight stay. Since I’m on route to such a … Continue reading I Gotta a Love that Keeps Me Waiting
Last week I was invited along to try out Urban’s new winter menu. Never one to turn down some free food I hopped right along. I had went straight from work so had my car, not good as their was also lots of free drinks, including cocktails! Bad call on my part. I made up for it stuffing my face with delicious chicken liver pate … Continue reading One More for the Road
When I seen this months Vogue I thought I had no chance of recreating it. Kate Moss wears a stunning feathered cape with pearl encrusted collar, made to order from Alexander McQueen. Gorgeous, though I recommend wearing something underneath unlike Ms Moss, it’s a bit chilly now. I’m believably I managed to find two, both for under £100. This first is a pretty good dupe … Continue reading On the Cover of a Magazine
