Girls just wanna have fun, right? Who says workwear needs to be boring? Works boring enough by itself most of the time. I’ve been trying to brighten my workwear and steer away from black for a while now. Last week I had an ephiany, why have I been separating my work and non work wardrobes all this time? Funny what falling behind on your washing … Continue reading When the Working Day is done
It appears we have skipped spring and straight to summer, beginning with a beautiful Easter Sunday. You can tell I wasn’t expecting it hence the knee high boots. I’m not complaining though, the sun has been the only thing brightening a fairly shitty week. My sister and I spent a lovely easter Sunday with my mum and her two crazy poodles. Seb has a bit of a … Continue reading Here Comes the Sun
Well Hello there lovely people. I know I’ve been a bit absent this week, I can’t really explain why as I’ve been no busier than usual. You know how a big weekend can cast a bit of a shadow over your week though? Well that’s my only excuse given my busy Friday night finished at 7 on Saturday morning last week. But hey it’s Friday … Continue reading Friday I’m in Love
The nights may be getting a little lighter but nature is still conspiring against me, 5.30pm sunset is just not late enough. I never realised before I started this blog how difficult it is to get decent photos inside. There’s a constant fight with the artificial light, as you can see here either too dark or spotlights on you. Roll on spring indeed. My unintentional … Continue reading It’s like the Darkness is the Light
Valentines is always pretty low key for us, my man doesn’t really go in for organised romance. A nice meal at home with a good bottle of wine is the normal plan. Oh and if I’m lucky a beautiful bunch of roses delivered to work, this year it’s a Saturday so I think I’m outa luck on the roses. I have been trying to convince … Continue reading You’ll Be My Valentine, Valentine
Now pink is not a colour I wear often. You know when you see something and are just drawn to it? That’s what happened with these trousers. It helped that they were half price in the ASOS sale. With all the junk food I consumed over Christmas I thought that they either wouldn’t fit or if they did wouldn’t look anything like they did on … Continue reading Cause It’s Pink Friday
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
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
