Who says yellow is a summer colour? When it’s this cold and frosty you need to inject bright colours into you wardrobe. These yellow jeans were a bargain in Forever 21 at the end of the summer and after a few wears I now know why, they get bigger as you wear them and end up sagging off your bum. Not a good look! I’m … Continue reading They Call Me Mellow Yellow
A wide brimmed hat maybe a bloggers perfect item. It hides a multitude of sins. Hair a bit messy, stick the hat on; massive spot on your forehead, stick the hat on; horrid bags under your eyes, stick the hat on. Not just that it protects you from all manner of Scottish weather; whether that be wind, rain or sunshine. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, … Continue reading You Can Leave Your Hat On
Indeed it did not, we had an absolute ball. What better way to say goodbye to your roaring twenties than to party like Jay Gatsby. Having never had a party before (and most likely never have one again) I thought I might as well go all out. After a little browse on Pinterest I had plenty of inspiration. I spent the few days before my … Continue reading A Little Party Never Killed Nobody
Frozen indeed, I think we hit a high of 1degree on Sunday when we shot these photos. I may have been wrapped up in coat and faux fur but it didn’t take long for my fingers and toes to go numb. Seb had a ball playing in the frost though, ok maybe we both did. Short post today as I’m still feeling a little rough … Continue reading Before You Know It Your Frozen
Yesterday I ventured into town to try and complete my Christmas shopping, I didn’t quite manage but I’m almost there. I was pretty lazy and didn’t make it in till late afternoon. It was lovely seeing the twinkly lights in all there glory in the dark afternoon. The darkness is not good for photos, neither is the wall to wall shoppers mind you. We did … Continue reading The Feelings Here, That Only Comes, This Time of Year
I had a sneaky little early finish from work one day last week so took the opportunity to start my christmas shopping. I’ll never be one of these people that has everything organised weeks in advance for two reasons. Firstly I always have other things to organise with a bunch of birthdays throughout September, October an November. Secondly, I just don’t think christmas should start … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a lot like
Fresh from my little holiday up North, yesterday I had a whole day to finalise some plans for my birthday party, not often I get a whole day free. I now have a venue, DJ, decorations and invites ordered. Everything is starting to fall into place and I’m getting more and more excited. My birthday is Hogmany, New Years Eve for you non scots, so … Continue reading All My Little Plans and Schemes
Let me tell you shooting outfit photos in the dark is not easy. It’s dark here by 7pm now which isn’t good, God knows what I’m going to do when we get into proper winter. I don’t know how I managed to go all summer without flouncing around in this bad boy, maybe because I buy so many clothes I forgot about it? Anyway my … Continue reading Carrie Style
I’ve been wanting to learn how to cook and bake for a while now. I’m always so jealous when see awesome kitchen creations on Pinterest or instagram. So when I was invited along to Curry’s blogger bake off, I was equally excited and nervous. Thankfully I wasn’t the only clueless baker and my little team, Laura, Laura and Gillian, worked together pretty well to create … Continue reading If I knew You Were Coming I’d have Baked a Cake
I do like a wee trip to the movies, you may have noticed from my Instagram. Last night myself and my sister popped to the cinema to see A Walk Among the Tombstones with Liam Neeson. It is a little bit like Taken, there’s a kidnapping, serious phone calls and shooting bad guys, but it’s still a good wee Saturday night movie. It’s fair say … Continue reading Saturday Night At the Movies
