BE FUN AND PLAYFUL

Hiya :) I've not done much today, went out for lunch as per usual but apart from that nothing! I need to give my bum a kick again, try and get into a routine. What i need to do is get back into my list making again. If i write a list of things i want to do in a day, i find it easier to get things done. Its because i can actually visually see what i need to do, then i can tick it off. Its like a reward system, it really does make me feel happy every time i tick something off. Is it that sad? I don't really think so, humans love the feeling of achievement. No matter how big, small or "weird" it is, you feel great if you have completed something. I really am trying to get more of a routine into my life, its something i feel i need. Baby steps are ok for now, because eventually they will turn into big steps and i will be able to achieve what i want for myself. So i'm trying not to get too hung up about it all.

Jumper- New Look
Dress- New Look
Wedged High-Tops- Topshop
Bag- Market Abroad
Tights- New Look
Lipstick- Chanel in Legende

OUTFIT DETAILS
So i picked my dress first and i thought id do one of those looks when your throw something over it. I really like those types of outfits, it means 
1) You get more skirts
2) You get more wear/outfits out of your dresses.
I thought the colour and style went quite well with the dress, so i thought i would go for a pastelish look. The wedges were picked because i didn't really want a high heel look, i wanted a casual comfort type of outfit. Also, i seemed to be heading in the floral direction as well. I love the colour of this bag, the blue matched my trainers and i think it really added something to the outfit. I don't know how, i just feel as if it did. Plus the reason i called this post "be fun and playful" is because i was a little playful with some of my poses and i felt really cool in this outfit. I felt playful and like i was going to school for some reason. It must be the beanie hat & wedged trainers...

I DONT NEED NO ATTITUDE

Hey guys, sorry i didnt post yesterday, i did have plans too but unfortunately had a little accident! As i mentioned the other day, we were popping to the vets to get our bunnies nails clipped. When travelling we keep them separated because we havent been able to mix them yet. So one of them is in a proper pet carrier and the other is in a make shift cardboard one. Tommy on the way there peed, so when we got into the vet room i opened up the box so i could lift him and give him a cuddle. It wasn't until i put him back down and felt wet that id realised the fur on his paws had soaked his pee all up! I looked down and there was two big yellowish wet stains on my pale pink dress. Gutted. I was annoyed a little as i really wanted to post yesterday, especially that outfit. I wasnt annoyed at Tommy, how can i be annoyed at his cute little face? I was just annoyed because its my luck! lol! 

So today was the usual routine, lunch with Chris grandparents. We do this because it means we get to see them frequently and it gives them a day out and some company. So today we went to Table Table, which is a Brewsters Fayre. Its cheap and cheerful, great food thats going to fill you up, but fantastically priced! I had breaded camembert to start with and a mixed grill. It tasted awesome!

OUTFIT DETAILS
I dont know how i came up with this outfit. I was rushing to get out the door and felt like a jean day. There was another outfit id planned to wear last night but theres something im wanting to complete the outfit before i show it to you guys. I guess i was going for a sort of grunge look with the checked shirt and it matched my green t-shirt. I also wanted to be a bit different with the "Mum jeans" so i added some heels. I dont think many people style their mum jeans with heels, ive seen one person do it and i think its really cool. What are your thoughts on styling Mom jeans? Im really loving my beanie hat at the moment, i love how laid back it can automatically make an outfit feel. What do you think?

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.

PLEASE TAKE ME AWAY ON YOUR HARLEY DAVIDSON...

Hiya everyone, sorry ive been "mia" missing in action. How are you all doing? Have you been struck down with the return of the bad weather like we have in Scotland? We were getting such nice weather then all of a sudden the cloudy skies and spitting returned. Last weekend i went down to my dads as my little brother was visting because of fathers day. The plan originally was to turn up and surprise him this weekend, but it turned out that Thomas was visiting last weekend instead. We had a good time together, if you seen my instagram the weather was amazing! I even got a little sunburnt while we were at the park playing cricket. My brother isnt normal he has some amount of energy! Even when its boiling hot and hes too tired to run, he keeps running! I really wish i had his energy and enthusiasm for sport.

These photos were taken a few weeks ago at my villages' annual fete & parade Lillias Day. It was created for someone who used to live here, quite some time ago, but to be honest i cant even remember why it was even created and why we celebrate it for her. It used to be really good and busy, but i feel these days people really arent interested in these sorts of things. Especially taken part in your community. Chris and i found my two cousins to watch the parade with as Amy lives here aswell and Lisa has two children, who love these things. Then we just hung about with my younger cousin and her boyfriend for a wee while. Unfortunately, all that day the rain was on and off so we came home and watched a movie. The sun actually decided to pay us a visit once everything had finished and been cleared away.





Im pretty sure originally that day i had something else planned to wear, but since it was raining a little i had put something on a bit more warm and covered. I literally threw this together as i seen the top next to my bed and i hadnt worn my Dr martens in a while. I did want something a bit cool/rock looking to wear but i wanted to be comfy also as i knew id be walking about. I really love how this outfit turned out and even though ive now blogged it, i would like to wear again. Soon. I added some pink lipstick to add a pop of colour and since im always wearing red!
