Oh my I’m so excited with the news that ChouChou, one of my favourite Scottish designers, is having a 24hr online sample sale next week. You may remember I picked up a beauty of a dress from Rebecca Torres’ sample sale a few weeks ago so I’m eager to see what I can pick up this time. I’ve gushed about ChouChou hoods enough already that … Continue reading ChouChou Sample Sale!
Friday was very much the an end if an era. I left my job after almost seven years to move on to hopefully greener pastures. It’s a bit scary leaving what you know and love but I’m sure it’s the right decision and will all work out. The hardest part was leaving all my colleagues friends. There were tears a plenty throughout the day and … Continue reading Another Turning Point, A Fork Stuck in the Road
Last Thursday was the first Fashion Revolution Day, marking the one year anniversary of the horrific factory collapse in Bangladesh. Over a thousand people lost their lives and hundreds more where injured. All were working in clothing factories with questionable conditions and really should make us question where our clothes comes from. That’s the idea of Fashion Revolution Day anyway. You may have seen my … Continue reading Won’t Fool the Children of the Revolution
As much as I love the sunny weather it is not my friend. I really need to get myself a proper camera and brush up my photography skills. I got these snaps on Easter Sunday. I had a lovely little day visiting my mum with my sister and a friend. Typical Easter Sunday, yummy lunch and a tonne of chocolate. Oh and the standard present … Continue reading King of My Castle
I’m desperately trying to inject a little colour into my work wardrobe. I need to be pretty smart for work and it’s easy to stick to black interchangeable pieces. It’s so boring though and not really fitting with the nice weather, like last week. When I spied this skirt in Primark it had to be mine.not only was it my favourite colour but it was … Continue reading You Gotta Work, Work
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
When’s someone asks me if I’d like a new pair of shoes, it doesn’t take much thought to come up with the answer. Then I discovered the shoes were to be from Clarks and I did wonder if I’d find anything I liked. Clarks to me has always meant old lady and school shoes. It appears though they’ve had a little overhaul, you may have … Continue reading I Put My New Shoes On
Last Thursday evening the fabulous Miss West End Girl invited me along to a little blogger event she helped organise at Lush on Sauchiehall St. I’ve not had much experience of Lush and was more than pleasantly surprised. I never realised that Lush are entirely handmade in the UK, cruelty free, completely vegetarian and lots are even vegan friendly. On the night we were told … Continue reading Lush – Spring to Skin
It really is supposed to be spring now, clocks have gone forward, mother’s day is passed and we’re now in April. I don’t think anyone’s told mother nature though, it still freezing here. I was going to say at least its dry and we have blue skies, but today in Glasgow it is pouring down, sods law. On Sunday I figured I’d brighten things up … Continue reading Mr Blue Sky
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
