A DAY FOR LOVE (VALENTINES DAY)

Hiya guys! Oh. My. God. I know, i'm back! Where have i been i hear you all ask? Welllll to be perfectly honest i'm not really going to get too in depth about explaining my "internet-disappearance act" (unless you guys stalk me on Twitter & Instagram then you will have known i was alive), all you guys really need to know is; Yes i took a break and now IM BACK! And i really do promise that i am back for good :) (well, for now anyway...Just Kidding! Im back for GOOD!) I want to get straight back into blogging as much as possible again, i've really missed it! My little blog has really become such a huge part of my life now, i feel almost lost if i don't do anything with it... 

So i would have preferred to have been able to do my 20th birthday post before this one as i really like to do things in order, or it freaks me out. I know i'm weird but i've come to terms with that. BUT i have been having some issues with my SD card that i don't think would have be sorted for today and i was pretty set on doing a post today. So i thought, oh well just get on with it and do my other one for now. As i might not even be able to sort the problems myself and will have to go into a shop, so it could take days or weeks. I don't know! So i wasn't prepared to wait that long to get back on track. I've come to terms that the post may be waaay into the future :P

So i hope you are entertained & kept happy with this post for now!

So Chris very kindly treated me this Valentines! Normally, we do go halfs on things like this, but he wanted to be a proper gentleman this year! What a lucky girl i am :D He took me to the hotel at which we had our meeting with our wedding caterer! So it was kind of extra special because of this, i will always know remember that i've had a wedding meeting & a valentines there. Its one of the most beautiful hotels i have ever had the pleasure to stay out! It was one of the Dakota Hotels, we actually went to the one in Glasgow (click here for the actual Glasgow site) but to be honest its not right in Glasgow i would say its on the other side of Glasgow compared to where we are (which is 15 mins away). I can still NOT get over the meal! Seriously one of the most amazing beautiful meals i have ever eaten! If you look at my instagram photos above you will see or just search for "addictionstoshoppingvalentines" on instagram. We also went to the cinema (cant remember what we seen) and the next day we went to frankie & bennys for breakfast. 

Look how big that pillow is! :O We didn't sleep with it though.

For some reason i look a little ginger here?

Cute little cookies in a little jar! Soo awesome :D (with a bite out of it...LOL)

OUTFIT 1 DETAILS- DURING THE DAY

So i wanted something pretty casual for the day and because i was still obsessed with that brownish handbag, i thought i would go for a more neutral/burgundy kind of look. I really loved the outcome of the outfit it was still pretty & girly as well as being a little dark & grungy. I obviously had my Dr.Martens & my awesome unif leather jacket to help me feel not so girly! Which is obviously the COMPLETE OPPOSITE to my evening attire :P But what can i say? I always throw something in to be dark!

OUTFIT 2 DETAILS- Evening Wear

So i have this thing, where if i'm getting clothes/fashion kind of stuff as presents i always wear it that day/evening or for the event. Now as it wasn't really a birthday/christmas type of event i knew what i was getting (so did Chris he asked for a new keyboard & mouse for his gaming PC) as i'd asked specifically for these items which were the top & trousers. So i had planned in advance i wanted to do a kind of pink extravaganza with my items :P The top is a very light pale pink and because the pills on it are blue & pink i thought im just gonna have to do it! Although, rather than wearing my pink baroque heels i switched them for the navy blue ones to go with the top and for a bit of contrast. As everything was pretty much pink...

OLD GIFTS CAN BE RENEWED

Hiya everyone, how are you all doing today? I'm a little bit annoyed with myself today. For a few days there, i was doing really well with getting up early and trying to do something important with my time. Theres things i want to re-arrange or tidy around the flat, but by the time i'm getting up there really is no point on starting. It doesn't help that light bulbs keep going out because by late evening its pitch black, so its too dark to try and tidy everything. I really need to try and remember to get some new light bulbs this weekend. I'm also wanting another lamp for our bedroom, we had to move the smaller one form the living room into the bedroom. So i eventually want to move that light back to where it originally was.  In our bedroom the big lights' bulb also broke, as well as something happening to the lamp in there... 

I have alot of posts and videos i need to organise so i can finally upload everything online. So i think wether or not i like it, i am going to have to get up quite early one day and just get everything ready to go for my blog and youtube. The problem is, i lack in motivation so much! I struggle to organise myself sometimes. So tomorrow is a new day, i will start with the early mornings again and try to get all my backdated stuff up online. So as usual on a wednesday we went out with Chris' grandparents and we went to Frankie and Bennys at Xscape, braehead for lunch. By the way, they have changed their specials menu so i would go check it out if you get the chance!

Cilli bbq chicken wings to start with and philly chicken wrap with a jacket potato for my main! (trying to make healthier choices with my meals!)

OUTFIT DETAILS
So todays outfit is very green. I can't help it, i love the colour! The post title is linked to this dress, i got it for my 15th birthday and its my first "branded/designer" dress and i have always been in love with it! I still am, even though its old and tatty. Plus i have way nicer dresses than this one now... But it will always hold a special place in my heart. I actually wore this the other day, but we ran out of daylight to photograph, as its getting very dark early in Scotland now. I have added a few more bits and bobs to what i originally wore the other day, but i had a bit more time to think about it today. So i thought the hat and coat would add a very nice touch with their style, as well as the coat matching the colours in my dress. The scarf was added because its now freezing here! I also wanted to wear some heels with this dress so naturally my green boots were selected.
