And that something red is me, well at least it was a couple days ago. I have been pretty dutiful in applying my sunscreen, my Scottish skin is not used to so much sun. One day last week it was cloudy though and I was a bit lazy about re applying, of course I got sunburned only on my front though. It was not a … Continue reading Took Something Perfect and Painted it Red
Yesterday I took a trip down to the Valley in the city centre. This is the hub of all things cool and hip in Brisbane. I spent a good few hours trawling through the mix of designer boutiques and vintage stores. I could have spent a small fortune in the boutiques. Fallow was a favourite hidden on the first floor of what looks like an … Continue reading Hot Summer Days, Rock n Roll
I’m not sure how many outfit photos I’ll be posting from Brisbane. Before I arrived I thought I could get loads of cool outfit photos as I wasn’t needing to wear boring workwear most days. Turns out I massively underestimated the heat, 30degrees and rising makes a sweaty Lauren which does not make for good photos. These are some quick photos I took on the … Continue reading Daisy Dukes, Bikini on Top
I managed to do most of my sale shopping from the comfort on my bed on Boxing Day morning. I knew it was a great idea getting the man a new iPad, I got his old one. I did pop into town briefly and into Gap. I’m so glad I did as I picked up these beauties. I’ve been wanting some coated jeans for a … Continue reading I Say, Take Me Out
Yesterday was the day I had to start my Christmas shopping. I’ve been so busy at work this year that I’ve been really disorganised and not even given a thought to what presents to get. I have to say I’m pretty chuffed with myself as I managed to get everything in one shopping trip, despite the storm like weather. So what to wear Christmas shopping … Continue reading Time for Presents
Last week I skipped off to St Andrews for a work conference. Unfortunately, I had no photographer so instead of getting some amazing ootd shots with beautiful Scottish scenery I got some in my hotel room. It was a really nice hotel room though. These boots were a Christmas present from my lovely man last year. They are my staple throughout the the colder months, … Continue reading These Boots are Made for Walking
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
I think this is my first proper wintery outfit post and in fact we’ve definitely dropped a few degrees since these were taken. A few weeks ago I joined the Olivedragonfly girls for brunch in the west end as part of their party weekend. My good friend Roz took these great shots, windswept and interesting springs to mind. I have to admit I’ve had this … Continue reading Winter Winds
I must start with an apology for the bad quality photos, alcoholic drinks and a reluctant photographer do not make for good photos. I had to share these little holiday outfits with you. Both of these tops I’ve had for a few years, they only seem to come out on holidays though. I think it’s the sunshine and tanned skin which make me want to … Continue reading We’re Up All Night till the Sun
This months Vogue features the gorgeous Claire Danes looking very relaxed. Quite the opposite from how I’m used to seeing her now, anyone else loving Homeland? The cover doesn’t show the Louis Vuitton outfit off adequately, a long tweed coat and sweater dress. I’m not a fan of the pastel blue but love the style of the coat. Obviously they cost the earth with the … Continue reading On the Cover of a Magazine
