Pure Pumped For Pastels...

Hello!
The flowers will be blooming soon back in sunny Scotland, which also means spring trends are nearly upon us. Pastels of course are always a winner and are back in the running this year for Spring trends 14'. Everyone should know by now what a massive fan I am of pastel shades. So I am particularly happy. Missguided.co.uk have an ace selection this year so definitely take a look if you get a chance.

That Dress...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

New Year is approaching fast, and we're all trying to find that perfect New Year dress. Something seasonal, warm, comfortable, flattering, magical. We all have many different requirements for this one garment, so it is essential that we find the right one.  I usually go for something that is loose, warm and will stay in place all night . Lets be honest, most of us will probably not be looking our best when the bells strike twelve thanks too our old friend tequila. But digital photography is ever so popular these days and no one wants to start the new year finding a photo of themselves obliviously dancing with half their bum cheek on show. Here are a few of my favourites I've found so far .

Tartan- River island
Velvet- Boohoo.com

All of these dresses would look good with or without tights, it just depends on what you're comfortable in. 

Which one is your favourite ?

Sunday Best.

Me again. 
Here I am once again on a Saturday night sprawled on my bed, eating and watching Harry Potter. Ahh to be a nineteen eh. I thought I'd do a wee preview of my outfit for work tomorrow. Since I can't function in the morning I always try and sort out my clothes the night before. My brain thanks me for this at 6:45am. Since its pure baltic  outside, I refuse to wear anything that doesn't cover my shoulders. For work a denim shirt is good as you don't get too hot and bothered and its just comfy. I bought these jazzy deep green velvet leggings from Missguided.co.uk. Velvet is everywhere right now so go and get some velvet action before the new year. My wee leopard print dockers are my fave at the moment. They're from Asos along with the watch and cuff.

Smock up

HIYAA

I am really loving smock dresses at the moment. They are such a lovely flattering shape no matter what size you are. They're great for the winter as you can layer them up with a woolly jumper or a wee cardi. I saw this one on Pinterest and ended up getting it for a steal on the Asos 20% off weekend. Since I'm going somewhere warm soon it will be perfect for then. I'll wear it with tights in the colder months. As for that hat, you can make up your own mind...

Recent Purchase.

The weekend is finally upon us,  and since I finished at 3 today There was still some light to catch a few wee snaps of my most recent purchases.
This black maxi dress is a life saver if you're in a rush and just want to be comfy. It's from Monki.com and just reminds me of walking around in a blanket, perfect for work and casual days. Pair with a bold necklace and a wooly jumper.
 I managed to pick up this daisy chain in forever 21 for a VERY reasonable price, it's perfect for brightening up some of the plainer things in the wardrobe.

Finally this cute wee hair bow also from Forever 21. I've been trying to find a clip on bow for ages which is small enough to fit on my head. This one is nice and dainty and adds a wee zing to any bun or pony.

Scottish Beaches & Weekend madness

Good day!

I've had a jam packed weekend with trips to Glasgow, espresso tasting and chilly walks on the beach. 
On Friday Me and Case went out to North Berwick to sample some coffee from Steampunk which is an independent roastery and coffee shop located in North Berwick. We were so Buzzin after, we had to have a wee run on the beach.


We also got a chance to take a few shots of my OOTD with a scenic background to jazz up the shots.

I also went to see my favourite band Frightened Rabbit at the O2 academy in Glasgow last night which was amazing. I was planning on doing a separate blog post on the gig. However my camera was confiscated at the door as I must of looked like such a professional. Need to work on that journalists pass! This is all I got.

Amys five essentials


I am such a lounger and love to be comfy wherever I can. So although my five essentials look simple you honestly can't go wrong with this comfy collection .

1. 'The oversized t-shirt' At work , at home, There is nowhere you can't wear this baggy beauty . I tend to wear it with leggings in the summer and skinnys in the winter. 

2. Everyone needs those one pair of jeans that no matter how many slices of chocolate cake, you just slip them on and feel like a size 0. My favies are the 'Joni super high waisted' from Topshop , simply because the material is so stretchy and cosy.

3. My vans are the shoes I look to when my feet seem like they can't take anymore of life. Nike lo blazers are also a personal favourite. Especially when I have to be on my feet all day at work , these shoes honestly are the best. They go with anything and add a couple of centimetres to your height. Quality.

4. I chuck on my chain with anything and everything in my wardrobe and seem to never get bored of it. So good at adding a bit of bling to any outfit. 

5. Finally the handbag which stores items that could cope with any situation. From plasters to purses you might not know whats hiding in the depths of the dark abyss, you know deep in your heart that it will come in handy one day.

Tartan Walkies.

Hellooo!
It seems like it's been raining forever , but when I looked out  of  the window this morning I finally saw some sunshine creeping through and decided to take my wee dog on a walk. Tartan is a top trend this A/W and I managed to grab a bargain with this lightweight tartan jumper from Primark for 12.99. Wear your tartan with a chunky gold necklace and it really brightens it up. Pair it with something simple and the tartan will become the focus of the outfit. I'm so lucky to live in a city with so much green space. All the photos are taken at Arthurs seat in Edinburgh.

OOTD. 10/09/13

Ello!
I had a day off from work today so didn't get out of bed until 12. After watching the exhilarating 'bargain hunt' decided to finally leave my room and walk my dog which was equally exciting. It was a shame cause the day seemed so short and the light started to fade but I just managed to catch it and took some photos of my outfit today for everyone to see. Quality.
