There's no excuses...

...for my absence, apart from the fact that I  have joined the gym, so have literally lived there all this week. I think I'm nearly settled in my new Edinburgh flat. The house share isn't perfect, but what is?

I'm getting the hang of my new job, I have already traveled down south to visit stores and their visual merchandising. I have finished one cool project and in the process of organising another one - which is creating a display for a display case in a shopping centre.  This is something I have really enjoyed doing, and still enjoying, hope I get the next one. I put it into action in October and will definitely take a pic of my handy work. So will pop in in post somewhere!

Not really got that much of a social life atm, (not that I had one back at home!) but I managed to see the end of the Fringe Festival. Which was fun. I would deffo recommend it to anyone that was thinking  about going next year. (Maybe see you there?) This was the first time I had been to a comedy show. I've always been worried I wouldn't get the jokes. There were only like two that I didn't get. Ha.

I've eaten out at this amazing place... 56 North


Yes. It was as good as it looks: mushroom, pepper, mozzarella and pesto burger. NOM. I absolutely love how the fries came!

Jumper: Urban Outfiters (not that much of a jumper really, as its not thick or warm, but looks great thrown over anything!)
Dress: White Chocoolate from Asos
Boots: Schuh
Necklace: Zara
Choker: Topshop

My first week in the flat, me and the boyf did quiet a few walks, getting to know Edinburgh etc. There are so many beautiful buildings - and this is from a girl that never thought she'd say that. Ha. There's also lots of hills and stairs! 




My jumper obsession: Zara (of course its Zara, you can just tell right?!) 
Skirt: River Island from Asos
Coat: Topshop (old) 


Pink is everywhere... I like it... so pink made it into my wardrobe. I do want a pink coat, I've seen so many that I can't afford, and a really nice one in Topshop that I can afford. But I'm just thinking it is not going to be practical in rainy Scotland! I bet it would get grubby quickly. Eugh - when did I start to care about practicality. It would look so pretty in my wardrobe tho. My hair has also gone back to being pink, well 'candy floss' so not as bright as it was before. I did try to take a 'selfie' but i suck at them. (Jumper is from Primark, bought 2 sizes too big so that it was wearable!) 

Some random shots:

My Schuhbie night out outfit, originally I wanted this jumpsuit in black but they didn't have my size, so my friend talked me into buying the orange! and I loved it! 
Jumpsuit: Topshop
Heels: Schuh
Choker: Topshop
Black Slip Dress: Topshop
Black Heels: Topshop

Tartan and cut out hype.
Skirt: Zara
Shoes: New look


Attempting a changing room selfie. I totally regret not buying this detailed Topshop jumper. I may have to return for it.

I'm so glad I bought this beauty before I left Derby, well in fact its from a vintage shop called COW in Nottingham. When I'm back home I will deffo be taking a trip to check out what other goodies they have. 

I can't believe how quick time is going.
