TREND ALERT: Flatforms...

Me again

It's been a while! I am now in New Zealand carrying on my travels. As I was on my 14 hour flight to my destination I thought I would pick up a wee magazine and try and immerse myself back into the fashion world, and that I did. Flatforms are going to be massive this summer and I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair. As a bonus They're especially great for adding that extra couple of centimetres to your height. They come in all different shapes and sizes although metallic are looking to be increasingly popular.

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.

Outfit Inspo. 24/10/13

Sawubona!

I was a wee bit bored this evening and decided to occupy myself by doing a quick inspo. post . By the time I get home from work these days all the light has gone, but I hope to do some more photography posts this weekend ! 




This denim dress is a staple in my wardrobe and is good in hot and cold weather  .Wear it casual or glammed up with some jewels and wedged boots. The oversized coat is very popular this season and I managed to grab a bargain in h&m with this beige one last Autumn. The black boots jazz it up and of course the tartan scarf brings more vibrance and colour to the outfit.

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.

A hint of Ox-blood.

Bonsoir.
I cannot get enough of boots this winter! There's just so many choices. Ox blood and deep reds are also really popular and add a really nice touch too any black and white outfits.

Outfit Inspo.


Hey guyz
I've been meaning to do an inspo post for ages.
Since the temperature seems to have dropped to -100 degrees here in Edinburgh it's time to wrap up and layer up. I would most likely throw a pair of thick tights into the mix with this combo but lets face it , tights aren't pretty. I've chosen to accessorise less as the pattern on the dress is so bold against the block colours on the jumper and coat. Layering a smock dress up with a woolly jumper and over sized coat is one of my favourite look this A/W. 
Try it you'll love it.

OOTD 18/09/13

I had a late start at work today so thought I would actually make an effort before everything got covered in smoothie. I just bought this Pinafore from Forever 21 which is great. It didn't break the bank and you can wear it over and over again and make it look different every time. There's so many variations of pinafore's out there right now whether it's a patterned or a plain.

Wear your Pinafore with a basic tee in the daytime or a detailed crop top in the evening, tights, an over sized bag and some chunky boots.

Winter Boots.

The time has sadly come to be searching for ye olde winter boot again. it may seem a bit pessimistic looking for winter boots in September, however it's an investment and since there's snow due in October I'm not taking any risks. 

The chelsea boot remains the winning shoe regarding comfort and durability however if you want to jazz things up cut out boots are extremely popular at the moment and come in all shapes and sizes. Wear your statement boots with a pair of fluffy socks, skinny jeans, retro sweat and an oversized woolen coat.

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.

Salut! 
I am such a sucker for impulse buying and recently on these rainy summer days. I find myself browsing endlessly through sites like Pinterest just loving everything I see. So to try and tame the temptation of internet shopping I decided to make a monthly wish list which will hopefully keep my spending down and my wardrobe neat!
Plain high waisted shorts are so good cause they just go with everything, they're there just as a wee staple piece. A nice kimono is a must have this summer especially in Scotland to hide you from the cool breeze. Beanie hats have been so popular recently and are great if you want to make something look more casual.I have been looking for a nice pair of boots for ages and these look perfect , Some Sunglasses to pretend it's sunny then a few other bits and bobs.

SHOEEZIEESS


Hiya.
I feel like shoes have been neglected a wee bit in my posts so i've made a collection of my current top 5 pairs of shoes. yas. I avoid heels at all costs I can JUST manage a heeled boot or a platform but from there as I found out last Saturday night, I end up flat on my face. But there is plenty of options for those stiletto amateurs and anyway the person with the flats is always the last one dancin'.
