Every year they have a graduate show in Glasgow School of Art and every year I miss it. I’ve no idea why, I’m just a bit useless. The Gallery of Modern Art, GoMA, regularly features pieces from The Art Schools successful graduates and is currently showcasing Devils in the Making. If the neon signs alone weren’t enough to tempt me in, the knowledge of all … Continue reading She studied Sculpture at St Martin’s College
Our first trip to the Vatican was a massive fail. Not only did we miss the Pope’s blessing, we do like a lie in. But Sunday is not the day to visit the centre of the Catholic Church, everything is closed. Not really surprising. Just as well really as my outfit was not Vatican appropriate either, no uncovered shoulders or shorts people. We had time … Continue reading Sunday’s Getting More Bleak
Don’t you just love a long holiday weekend? In Glasgow this is our September weekend, which for me means Friday and Monday off work. If I could work Tuesday to Thursday every week I’d be a happy girl. So what to do with an extra day off work? Day trip of course and first thought is always the beach. I packed Seb up in the … Continue reading She was a Day Tripper
On our first day in Rome we decided to jump right in to tourist central and check out the Pantheon and Colosseum. Our hotel was a short stroll, passed the unfortunately still under construction Trevi Fountain, to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is quite simply stunning. The columned entrance is only a start; the opened domed ceiling, ornate detailing and tiled floors are a must see. … Continue reading When In Rome
Seems like I was talking complete rubbish on Friday when I said those were the only outfit photos I convinced the man to take. I don’t know how I forgot about the couple of balcony photo shoots we had, the bottles of prosecco I drank most afternoons maybe? I bought these trousers on a whim in the ASOS winter sale. I loved the colour but … Continue reading Roman Holiday
These photos were taken yesterday, mid September, but they could have been any day over the last few months. Perhaps it’s a good thing this little Yumi outfit arrived a little too late to make it to Italy; and instead this post shows an actual Scottish summer day for Yumi’s 30 Days of Summer Yip even when it’s warm enough for bare legs, you still … Continue reading Yumi – 30 Days of Summer
Last Sunday we knocked it out the park with our little beach day trip. The beach at Elie is even more gorgeous than we had hoped and the sun came out, who’d have expected that with the summer we’ve had. Nothing beats a day at the beach to clear out the cobwebs and brighten your mood. Throw in the happiest dog, some good friends and … Continue reading Take a Walk on the Beach
It’s all about the culottes, I’m having a love affair with them right now. The only thing stopping me buying every colour and pattern is my bank balance. When I saw these beauties on ASOS they had to be mine, they double up as workwear so that makes it ok Mr Bank Blance right? The colour is nothing short of brilliant and reminds me of … Continue reading Mad Men
The past few weeks have been busy and stressful and generally rubbish. When times get tough it’s easy to let it drag your mood down, I’ve been fighting against that though. Instead just focusing on the simple things that make me smile. Some pretty yellow flowers. Spending time with my wonderful sister, who took these photos. My beautiful boy Seb and his little waggy tail … Continue reading I’ll Cherish the Simple Things
When your aiming for Seventies LA but you live in Glasgow so it rains, yip that is my life. To be honest though this weather is really getting me down. It’s almost like the summer is meant to refresh you and spur you on for the rest of the year, without the sunshine I’ve been left feeling kinda flat. Nothing for it but to turn … Continue reading Seventies Stripes
