Recently I’ve heard a lot of negative chat about bloggers from other bloggers. The main bones of contention being that the blogs show perfect lives rather than real lives and outfit posts having ‘staged’ outfits. Harsh indeed, where is the love people? I hope no one feels this way about my little corner of the internet. I’ll readily accept that my blog does show the … Continue reading I’ve Looked at Life that Way
I caught the clashing patterns bug and it’s been carried into my workwear, what else would you team with a pinstripe suit but a spotty blouse eh? Since I spent most of my time in office wear I felt it was time for a post. My work is pretty strict so I can’t get away with all the lovely styles you see in ASOS or … Continue reading Working 9 – 5
Last year I went along to my first Bold Souls event, you can read all about it here. I’m very excited to announce that Bold Souls is back for Summer 2014. One of my favourite designers Ms Chouchou has brought together an amazing selection of local designers for a pop up shop and cat walk show. A favourite of mine from last year Naromode are … Continue reading Bold Souls: Off the Catwalk Summer 2014
I hear that dresses and skirts over trousers are back, not really surprising since the 90’s have been infiltrating high street fashion for over a year now. It’s great news for me because I can pretend like I’m 17 again, finishing school at 3pm, starting to head out to clubs at weekends and my biggest worry being that Chemistry homework I’ve not done. Also I … Continue reading I Think We’re Gonna Save It Yeah
Today I popped into (get it) the Scottish fashion pop up in Princes Square. When I heard my favourite Rebecca Torres had some sale and sample pieces on offer I couldn’t resist, despite my skintness after the yucky dentist trip. Not only are there Torres on sale but a range of other fabulous Scottish designers. I was very close to buying the gorgeous Iona Joanne … Continue reading Princes Square Pop Up Shop
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
This post is a bit later than I planned due to it raining all morning. I know I should be used to it living in Scotland and be more organised, but I’ve always been a bit last minute. My lovely sister got me this dress for my birthday. She either knows me far too well or had been poking about on my Pinterest because I’ve … Continue reading Why Does it Always Rain on Me
The thing is it is winter though and it’s freezing. This Rebecca Torres was my New Year’s Eve dress and I’ve been desperate to give it it another outing but tights just don’t do the dress justice. So today I braved the cold by layering up on top and took the opportunity of having a willing photographer to get these shots on the river. I … Continue reading It’s Never Winter when it’s Donna Summer All Year Long
You may have heard me gushing about the divine Chouchou hoods before, I’m in love with them. A little bit of Italian style, in the form of Silvia Pellegrino, has turned the practical hood into a must have fashion accessory. Chouchou celebrated her fourth birthday last week with a lovely little birthday bash at Veldt and took the opportunity to showcase the new S/S14 collection. … Continue reading Chouchou 4th Birthday Celebrations
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
