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.

Hiyaaa

I had a lovely day off from work today and finally got a chance to catch up on Paris Fashion week. which looked amazing. I managed to squeeze a few shots of my outfit for the day . We had such a good Scottish summer, which seemed to last ages. However I think it may have just lost the battle with the winter chill as today was absolutely freezing. So I had my wee hat on, and huddled in a nice warm cafe with some good coffee and a good book all day.

A/W essentials 2013.

Hello!

A few of my Autumn/Winter essentials for the chilly months ahead. Of course I cant pick one, however I have just purchased the woolen coat on the top left and it is honestly the comfiest and warmest jacket I have ever owned. 

Present Predicaments.

Hello Sunday!

There has been a lot of birthdays recently and it got me thinking how difficult it is to actually buy a nice, meaningful personalised gift for someone these days. So after word of mouth and doing a little digging myself I managed to find some really unique birthday ideas.  

                                                                        

Choose which lid you would like

Choose the colour

Choose a message for the bottom

personalise your gift wrap box

Nails Inc is the first Idea , on there website you are now able to design your own nail polish for you or a friend which is great as you can tailor make it to your friends taste. at quite a hefty price tag of £20 it is on the pricey side however nails inc is good quality polish, and is worth it.

Pride and Prejudice postcards 

Jane Eyre Pocket Mirror 

Lord of the rings necklace

The second idea I heard about from some friends, and is for all the book lovers out there literaryemporium.co.uk lets you see merchandise reflected from some of your favourite books. The most famous quotes are already there but if you would like a special quote I'm sure there would be no problem.

Property of 'Blurb'

The last idea is a sight called blurb.co.uk where you can create your own book or photo book. This would be a really great present as you can make it so personal. There is also a lot of different ideas you can do with the books. For example if someone you know has been travelling , gather all there photos up and put something together,  an instagram photo book is also very popular. At the end of the day it's what you think they would like best.

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.

Red Tartan Pinafore-Asos

Pop Boutique Pinafore Dress- Asos

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.
