On Wednesday I attended the opening of Munro’s bar in Glasgow’s westend. I went along with my friend Roz and her husband from olivedragonfly . The bar itself is trendy and welcoming.

It’s the kinda place you can be comfortable in and just … Continue reading He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink
On Thursday night I was lucky enough to attend the Style at Merchant Square fashion event. I went along with my friend Laura. The event was held to raise money for the Prince and Princess if Wales Hospice. As I was a VIP, I know fancy, I was treated to a champagne reception with some rather tasty canapés. We were then all summoned downstairs for … Continue reading Fashion

So I’m kinda in love with Jimi Hendrix. This started in High School when I learned to play guitar. As much as I love the likes of Lennon and Dylan for their songwriting, Hendrix surpasses everyone with his guitar skills. However, he doesn’t often turn up on clothing; unlike some bands, the doors for example. As an aside whenever I see a smartass teenager with … Continue reading May This Be Love
Hey, this is my first post! How exciting! I’ve loved these shorts since I got them in the Primark sale last October, bargainous £4! But, despite having no snow it’s still pretty cold here in Glasgow. I figured they could work with some tights and a jumper. Jumpers seem to be taking over just now, all sorts of styles and embellishments. This one’s from gap … Continue reading Flowers in the Window
