Summer has Come and Passed
In the last few weeks the sunshine has made way for clouds and rain, seems our glorious summer of 2018 is over here in Scotland. So I thought I better get round to sharing this outfit from a few weeks ago.

It’s Black, It’s White
Just because it’s monochrome doesn’t mean it needs to be plain. If I’m keeping things black and white there’s got to be a pattern or two involved. Continue reading “It’s Black, It’s White”
It’s All White
After my last all black ensemble today let’s give a little shout out to it’s opposite, white. White gets a hard time for being far less flattering than it’s darker counterpart and that old rule – it shouldn’t be worn after Labour Day, what even is Labour Day anyway.

Like A Shot of Pure Gold
My holiday is over and the sparkly toe nails are gone; I did love that glitter though and it seemed the perfect remedy to post holiday blues. Remind me not to go away so early next year, the Instagram holiday spam is killing me now.
Raspberry Ripple
What do these nails bring to mind? For me it’s ice cream with raspberry sauce. There’s something about the rippled design and mix of the white into pink and that conjures the image of a 99 from the ice cream van. Are 99’s even called that anymore? I imagine they’re about £2 now. I came across this nail effect on one of those little … Continue reading Raspberry Ripple
The Simple Spot
You know when you decide to go out dancing till 3am the night before a wedding, no? Just me? Queen Bey absolutely slayed Hampden park on Thursday so I couldn’t just go home after, could I.

White Lines
As much as I like this simple geometric design, I can’t help but feel they are just too plain. Two coats of lilac and then I added the white lines. I used my dotting tool rather than a brush as I find this works better for straight lines. I had planned to add a little stud but couldn’t work out where it would fit. I … Continue reading White Lines
Eurotrash Nails
Last week I asked for some holiday nail inspiration. A few of you came back voting for glitter, though when I floated this idea with some of my friends one described them as Eurotrash. Not really the look I was going for, fingers crossed they’re a bit classier than that. I’ll admit these were a bit of a nightmare, glitter always gets everywhere and is … Continue reading Eurotrash Nails
Electric Avenue
Last night I popped along to the the West End’s Botanic gardens for a little preview of The Electric Gardens, thank you for the invite Roz. The gardens are beautiful all year round whether they be dusted with snow, like today, or bathed in sunshine. They play a central part in the West End Festival each summer. The Electric Gardens are a move to extend … Continue reading Electric Avenue
Whiter Shade of Pale
When the sun comes out the white comes out. Don’t you just love how fresh and bright a whole white outfit is. I was in two minds as to whether this was appropriate for work but then I thought I’d wear the exact outfit in black without a second thought so what’s wrong with white. Coming from Scotland I’m naturally pretty pale so I slathered … Continue reading Whiter Shade of Pale
