Hello New Life...

It’s been 14 days, not too bad, I’ve been worse before. However, the last time I was absent, I said I’m going to blog more and this still hasn’t happened. I’m sorry. Once I am settled in my new life, this should start to happen.

This post is being written from the bonnie land of Scotland, in my unglamorous hotel room. My evenings have been taken up by hunting for a flat/ house share in Edinburgh. Scary Shit. I know.

The weekend was kinda fun tho, I visited a couple of places and spent the weekend up and down Princes Street. Learning where all the vital shops, such as; Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Zara and H&M are. I found them all, and unfortunately spent money I don’t have in them all. Typical. No new shoes in a while tho.

I can’t wait to have another ‘recky’ and find some boutique and vintage shops. Also, I hear Glasgow is good for shopping too. Going to have to wait until all my new grown up house/ flat bills are paid until I can visit the streets of Glasgow. I will deffo write a post about any cool shops I find. (and probably the buys too!)

So I haven’t really got any pictures yet, as unfortunately my hotel isn’t in Edinburgh, and when I was there at the weekend, I was dashing about and getting my bearings. I did manage this shot, in-between the rain showers and when the sun decided to shine.


As I am in a hotel, I cannot cook, so I have eaten on my own in restaurants, yes you read correctly! Lol. And the way things are going, I’ll have piled on a few pounds by the time I finally move in to a place, so once I’m settled I need a total detox. The odd night I have done a meal deal, but obv not photo worthy!


 Never leave the house, in Scotland, without a rain coat …

 I’ve had my eye on these leather jogging pants, and on Sunday, whilst killing time between flat/ house viewings I decided to purchase them. What a great decision. (Ignore the hotel room!)

Yay for the midi...

I love midi dresses and skirts, I'm quite short so they are better for me than a maxi dress/ skirt. I love throwing on a midi and a baggy t-shirt or shirt, as it is comfortable and stylish. The majority of my midi dresses are quite figure hugging, which at the minute, is my worse nightmare!

So this sale steal from Topshop is my new fav dress, as it isn't tight fitting, it is comfortable and doesn't need much styling to look good, today I forgot to put a necklace on whilst rushing around before work (no excuse I know, one should never forget a necklace!) but I got away with it. I love the finish at the bottom, with the length being longer at the back...

I got my white Zara bag for my birthday in March, and have only really started using it, I was too scared to get it mucky! It is a perfect way to tap into the 'white' s/s13 trend, I would love to dress head to toe in white, or have white trousers but for me, they it is just not practical, (boring I know) I can't trust myself not to spill something on them! Haha. Infact, talking about white, I purchased some gorgeous white shorts ages ago, and have still yet to wear them. That must go on to my to do list.

The varsity jacket was a brilliant find, when doing the food shop in Asda, I always check George, just in case, and this time I was extremely glad I did. I bought it quite a while ago now, but it literally goes with everything, and is a good way of updating older clothes.

Mac is one of my fav makeup brands, and this particular lipstick is my fail safe, I got it when I had grey hair, I think it would suit any hair colour to be honest, and is a perfect 'in the day' lipstick colour, not too dark and not too bright.

Denim shirt (around waist): Topshop
Varsity Jacket: G21 range at George @ Asda

Flatform Hightops: Schuh
