Haul 5- Bits 'n' Bobs

7 DAYS UNTIL BLOG RELAUNCH!!

THIS AUTUMN SUN ISN'T GOING TO LAST FOREVER

Heya, sorry its been a while! Just thought i'd have a bit of a lazy week with blogging to be honest. So how are you all? I'm not too bad, i've started to go walking 3 times a week now. I really want to do some exercise and get my fitness up so i thought for me walking would be a great way to start then i can build up to doing more. I go with my younger cousin around the cycling path, down to the bottom of the village and back up again. I'm also hoping this means i can use some of that time in the morning to work a bit more on my blog.

Oh and i have a question for you all, would you like me to start editing my photos more? To try and make them a bit more professional or do you feel they are fine the way the are?

OUTFIT DETAILS

I have been waiting for ageees for this kimono to arrive, ive been so excited! I really love kimonos but they are so expensive! So when Persunmall kindly gifted me it, i was over the moon! And it really is reasonably priced so i would check it out quickly! The quality of it is fantastc as well and i really love the "over-sized" feel to it. I wanted the colours of my outfit to match the kimono so i went with my casual green skinny jeans and a white top with red on it to match. I wore these jeffrey campbells just to keep up with the current trend of tartan, as well as them being a gorgeous red colour. I went with a darker red lipstick today as both Chris and i felt the darker tone really suited the reds i was wearing. Oh and the scruffy hair? I just though it looked perfectly "chic messy", it was the right kind of messy but still kind of cool enough to leave the house with...

MY MUM TOLD ME GUNS "N" ROSES WERE GOOD FOR ME

Hiya guys! Im really trying to get back into the swing of things and post more regularly. I have a lot of backdated outfit posts to show you, as well as photography, trips away and vlogs! So i think plan of action is when i have photographed an outfit i am going to post one i have already got sitting there. So there is going to be a mix of current outfits and summery ones. In all honesty, i just need to get up early and get to work. If i really put my mind to it i could have all the work done in 3 days. BUT seen as it is the weekend i am just going to continue blogging normally if i decide to post anything. Im not saying i only blog mon-fri but if i have a lot of blog related work (no my blog isn't my job but anything to do with it i just like to call it work) to do id rather start it on a Monday. What can i say? I have weird OCD tendencies.

(No i do not have OCD and i am sorry if i offended anyone with the remark saying i have "weird OCD tendencies" i DO NOT find anything mental health related weird or something to be made a joke about).

Today, Chris and i got up fairly late (as we always do) and decided to go to the cinema and for something to eat as a late lunch. Of course we went to one of our favourite restaurants Amaretto. I had my favourite because i hadn't had in such a long time. Which was of course bruschetta milano and sea-bass with chorizo & mediterranean vegetables. We went and seen the film Elysium, i had my eye on it since i first saw it advertised.

OUTFIT DETAILS

I do not really know/remember how i got this outfit together. It was pretty much "quick get out the door" type of outfit. I've been wearing these jeans alot recently just because jeans are quick and an easy to throw on and you can still look ok (even if you know your being a scruff for the day). Again, the t-shirt i just threw on and the heels matched the top slightly because they both have yellow and a greyish black on them. Plus, heels always add a "dressed up" feel to an outfit. Even if, as i said before, you know you are being a scruff for the day. The bag, i personally thought would match because of the yellow in the top but it was more beige than yellow. But oh well, i rolled with it anyway. The coat, OMG this coat, i am totally in love with this jacket at the moment. I threw it on because of the androgynous over-sized feel to it and the fact it was green. I thought i needed to add the hat because my hair was a bit scruffy and it added an edge to the outfit, off-duty model look or whatever.

OMG LOVE

Hi guys, sorry ive been so MIA. My head has been up my arse to be honest and i've been too lazy too blog or do anything. But today i have decided i need to get myself sorted as i have a backload of posts and videos to show you! I did have a haul video for you guys but as i was editing, i realised it hadnt copied all of the video onto my laptop. I then spent about 2 hours trying to sort it out and my memory card fucked up, so i decided to leave it to another day. So i think i will attempt to get it up tonight so i can start working on my Edinburgh post & video for you guys :). I have a really busy next few days as im away this weekend with all my dads side on holiday. I havent even packed. So i need to try and get up earlyish so i can get a few posts up before i go and can pack. I really dont want to be rushing packing as i will just stress myself out and not be happy when i arrive.

I am going to try and attempt at getting at least 2 or 3 outfit posts while im there, but will have to see. For starters, i dont have my photographer with me. So i am taking a light tripod, that is if i can work Chris' remote if not i just need to really hope i can train one of my family members in using an Nikon SLR camera, which could be very interesting. I am excited about going, its the first holiday ive ever had with my younger brother. I went shopping the other day to pick up few bits, i then came home and realised i had left the bag somewhere... I was so annoyed! Id spent about £15 on beauty bits and didnt want to have to spend that again as it would have then been £30 spent. I re-tracked my steps to Primark and popped back in today and someone had handed the bag in! I was super happy!

OUTFIT DETAILS

Today, i just threw my outfit together. I chose the top first and i didnt really know where i was going with it, but i knew i was considering a skirt and a grungy styled look. I decided to add the checked shirt as its a classic 90s grunge staple plus i had chosen to wear this skirt, so i wanted to add some colour somewhere. The reason i chose this skirt and not the i originally wore in Paris (I did post the outfit but i didnt wear the same skirt with the outfit that i had done in Paris) is because i hadn't worn it yet. I added these shoes because i wanted to wear some heels and they matched the black & white colouring of the skirt and its the same reason for the socks, they matched the top.

OLD ANNIVERSARY PHOTOS

When it was mine and Chris anniversary for being together for a year, we went off to Stirling. We stayed for a night and had a lovely meal. I didnt get any full outfit shots but we got some at the meal and I totally forgot to post them and re-found them when i was going through my SLR the other day. So here they now are, not much but im posting and you all know im still alive! We look miserable (we were very happy in reality lol) but im posting it anyway because it makes a nice little post.

Lamb Steak

(i love meat especially lamb its the best!)

(didnt enjoy the veg too crunchy for me!)

TASTE MY OXBLOOD LIPS

Hey everyone, im so so so sorry ive just disappeared off the face of the earth! First of all, Happy Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you all had a fantastic time in the holiday season! Ive not really got any excuses except i think i had gotten myself into a bit of a rut. We had unfortunately turned night into day so by the time we were getting up it was like 8 at night and dark and i wasnt going anywhere. Home and bed just seem to be the only places i were going too and the only suitable clothes for that were Pjs, and scruffy clothing if i was to step out at 2 in the morning for a macdonalds. I think my mood had and is maybe still a little bit low and down. Chris has said aswell that im not myself i just seem to be like a blank canvas, no expression, no fun. I do however think is related to it being the holiday period and subconsciously thinking about my mum. I really do miss her and when its the holiday times and birthdays i must be thinking more about her than id like to admit or even realise. So right now plan of action is to sort life out and try and be a bit more up and about!

So this outfit just sort of naturally came together. The sad thing is, ive had this skirt for three years and not worn it once untill this outfit! I got it when i went to New york. I totally love that tartan is in atm as a Scott it makes me quite proud that a national thing is in. I think whats awesome about this skirt aswell is that its not any normal tartan colour. Its ORANGE. I do really love the skirt and ive just been waiting for AGESSS for the right moment! I do quite love this outfit as i think its quite chic and casual at the same time without trying to hard! It has just the right amount of effort in it :)

Im really going to try more now in my photos to "model" a bit more. Because for me i enjoy a blog more if the photography is good and if the blogger is posing and trying. So im really happy with how these photos turned out as they are different from my usual "stand there and smile" photos. Anyway hope you enjoyed reading what i had to say and like my outfit and photos!
