Sweeties are my weakness, I can eat them all day long. So why not take them as inspiration for some nail art? With all these candy colours they’re almost good enough to eat. I started with two coats of lilac and added the stripes and dots with a little brush. I did one colour/stripe at a time setting the shellac in between, it might take … Continue reading Just Give Me Some Candy
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to you all. I am a very lucky girl and a little Canon DSLR arrived in my stocking. Needless to say I was a little excited and started snapping everything in sight! I don’t know much about photography but I’ve read enough blog tutorials to know the basics. The one problem is my … Continue reading She’s So Lucky
When The George Hotel asked me if I wanted to come try out their new winter menu I was more than happy to oblige. Their Tempus Restaurant is lovely and a trip to Edinburgh gives me a chance to catch up with uni friends. I organised this a few weeks ago and it worked out perfectly. After a long stressful week a big glass of … Continue reading From the Back of the Restaurant
My bloglovin feed has been inundated with street style shots from New York and London Fashion Weeks. The Warner temperature afforded this August seem to has given rise to a little trend of jumpers over skirts. Obviously I jumped on this instantly as the perfect way to transition my wardrobe into autumn. This dress is a favourite of mine largely due to its length, when … Continue reading You Dress, You Walk, You Talk
On our first full day the heavens opened, seriously the rain was worse than Glasgow. We ventured down Las Ramblas, with the help of a hotel umbrella, but with the rain bouncing off the ground and it was no day for exploring. We found a cute little restaurant and stuffed out faces with tapas and wine instead. Given the weather it was the perfect day … Continue reading Barcelona – Take Me to the Church
First day and I have an almighty headache. I got little bit excited last night and may have had a few too many vino’s. I’m already in love with Barcelona after a little dinner and drinks just off Las Ramblas last night. My hotel is pretty awesome too, looks like it will be a good holiday. I went with this stripey combo for travelling. It … Continue reading Barcelona
Seems like everyone loves co-ords right now. I’ve been desperate for some for ages, but struggled to find the perfect set. I didn’t want to spent a fortune and wanted them to be flattering and easy to wear. High waisted all the way and no short shorts. I finally found the perfect set for a bargainous £14.99. Now I’ve got them I realise why we … Continue reading 3 Ways to Wear
Yesterday I popped into town with my sister for a spot if ‘window’ shopping. Of course the ‘window’ element disappeared pretty quickly when I discovered a lot of stores have sales on already, I figured prices are gonna fall in the proper sale in a few weeks so I managed to control myself. Well until I got into Primark that is, picked up a whole … Continue reading We are the Champions
Bank Holiday weekend and it’s sunny, who could believe it! What else to do but head out with my boys for a walk and even a bit of history. We took a mini road trip to The Falkirk Wheel. We quickly headed up to the Antonine Wall walk, an excitable Labrador and bank holiday crowds aren’t the best combination. The Antonine Wall is one of … Continue reading The Walls Came Crumbling Down
According to my sister these boots have a pirate feel to them, I was hoping for sixties but figured let’s go with it and take the photos on this model ship. The ship with all it’s ropes and ties was the perfect backdrop to this stripey dress. I picked this up in the ASOS sale, it was only £15 which in my book is a … Continue reading Original Pirate Material
