I hazard to say this but I think Spring has arrived. It’s like the weather is reflecting how I feel; all bright and happy. After months of stress and cold dark days a beautiful sunny one is just lovely. Oh and presents! Who knew you got engagements gifts? I didn’t. My sister got me this gorgeous bag from Biba which I obviously had to use … Continue reading I’m in Love and it’s a Sunny Day
Isn’t your day just that little bit better when the sun comes out? Good day sunshine indeed, though this might be the last sunny post this year. Nevermind Autumn, winter is definitely coming. You can tell I wasn’t expecting the sun, hence the jumper. Maybe the sunshine yellow tempted her out again. These flares are actually a jumpsuit. I adore the colour and wide legs … Continue reading Good Day Sunshine
Something I’ve been hearing a lot about recently is third pieces, that little extra that just makes an outfit. Taking your standard top and bottom and adding a third piece making you outfit blog worthy. The easy choices are to add a hat, scarf or cute bag. Some statement jewellery, amazing shoes or colourful coat can also do the trick. As you may have noticed … Continue reading Grabbed My Hat
Fresh from my little holiday up North, yesterday I had a whole day to finalise some plans for my birthday party, not often I get a whole day free. I now have a venue, DJ, decorations and invites ordered. Everything is starting to fall into place and I’m getting more and more excited. My birthday is Hogmany, New Years Eve for you non scots, so … Continue reading All My Little Plans and Schemes
This is my new favourite work dress, yes it’s a dress not skirt and shirt. I spied it on the bargain rail in H&M because it was missing a button on the top. A little thing like that is no problem for me and I just added a little stitch to save my modesty. It’s a perfect Friday dress, minus the tights your ready for … Continue reading Hard Days Night
Military is one of those trends that becomes massive every now and then but is always lurking around somewhere. This jacket is perfect example of that. It reminds me of the Sergeant Pepper jackets, if only it was bright red I’d probably never take it off. Lovely Roz took these photos last night before we headed off the Lush Spring into Skin event. If you … Continue reading They’ve been Going in and Out of Style
It seems like Maxi skirts are everywhere just now, seen quite a few blog posts featuring them. I’m desperate to make a few in different colours but always forget to buy elastic when I’m out, doh. So I’m stuck with this one you’ve seen before for now. This vest I loved so much that I bought it even though it was 2 sizes too big. … Continue reading It’s Been A Long Cold Lonely Winter
Without getting into detail of boring work I’m now social convenor for the Dumbarton Faculty. This is not as easy task as there are over a hundred people of varying ages and tastes. We have a tradition of a curry night around March each year. This was my first event to organise. I choose Bukhara an Indian restaurant in Glasgow which is attached to the … Continue reading Tomorrow Never Knows
I’m embarrassed to admit I have no wed-nails-day post for today. I could dig an old nails photo out but doing that two weeks in a row is just cheating right? I normally do my nails at some point over the weekend. This weekend though I was away boarding, on Saturday, as you may have seen. On Sunday I was being all domesticated tidying, shopping … Continue reading Free as a Bird
