NOVEMBER RAIN

Hey guys, how are you all this chilly november day? We have definitely hit winter now in Scotland, i know i've said that a few times but it really has arrived now, in the last two weeks or so the temperature has just dropped. I was able to go out without a coat but that is noway an option now! Which is very ironic since today i have gone out without one :P... My excuse is i'm not really venturing outside only to get outfit photos, so i wasn't fussed about finding a suitable jacket that would keep me warm and stylish ;) The title of my post today is very fitting, it is of course the first day of November! Which marks 25 days to go until i leave my teenage years behind and become a twenty year old, a proper adult now. Plus there has been some rain today so i thought this title of a Guns 'n' Roses song would be perfect, oh and i am a Guns 'n' Roses fan so its totally acceptable.

Today i haven't really done much, except have racing thoughts about how many things i need to sort out in my life. Im so un-organised, well that and i'm very forgetful. I do think i've made more of an effort to try and organise things more and get blog things sorted out as well. I spent about 6 hours the other day getting a post together and i still haven't finished! I have about 4 photos to edit and a video then im ready to post. A wise man (my soon to be father in law) says to me

"Organisation is the key to a happy life"

and i have to say i think i really do agree! Even if your life is "Organised chaos" its still organised! ;)

I was luckly taken out to dinner by Chris parents (Chris was there also :P) to the new place thats just opened up in Linwood. Its called The Linwood farm, unfortunately i can't find a website for the place but it really is amazing! The menu that they have is huge! The portion sizes and prices really do not match up, you get so much food for your money. I would have to say it's one of the cheapest places around to eat, so if you get a new place opening up around you with the word "farm" in it, just go check it out. I would put some insta-photos in to show you how amazing the portions are but for some reason i can't download them... boo :(

OUTFIT DETAILS

So this gorgeous multi-coloured dress/kimono/cardigan arrived from Choies yesterday and i wanted to get it on as soon as possible! I already knew that when i seen it how versatile it was going to be. So im looking forward to see what kind of outfits i can imagine up with it. I love that i can do more than one thing with it. Today i decided to go for the kimono/cardigan look with it. So i threw on this old wool dress as i felt the green matched and the blue kind of toned down the crazy colours. I also thought that adding the waitcoat and floppy hat added a nice bohemian vibe, which is what i was looking for.

I WOULD RATHER GROW UP WITH HIPPIES THAN MOBILE PHONES

Hiya everyone! How are you all doing? Its been a really lovely sunny day again, here in Scotland! It was a bit greyish for 2 days but the temperature was still high! Im just glad that we are getting a 2nd chance with the sun this summer, as last year it was quite bleak and depressing. I personally think just with the sun being out your spirits are lifted and you feel happier. Not only that, there are activities you can do that money isn't needed for. Like going for walks, to the beach (if you are near one) and bike rides like we did last Saturday, i do have photos for you aswell as an outfit post from then. But i just havent got round to editing the photography and choosing my outfit photos. Aswell as the photos form Silloth. I do promise that i am going to try and get some of the photography from Silloth edited tonight and i will schedule them to post automatically tomorrow.

Today as usual on Wednesday, we went out for lunch with Chris' grandparents. We went to Xscape as theres loads of food places there. We went into Frankie & Bennys, i am very sorry but i forgot to take my phone out with me so i dont even have any insta-pics of the food for your mouth to water at! Although i will try my hardest at describing them cleverly for you, so your mind can do all the work! Thus creating your mouth to water ;) Well here goes!

(Imagine a sexy french accent describing it to you, not my awkward english- slightly scottish twang voice)

To start with, one had 5 (no not 4) very large meaty chicken wings. Covered in Louisiana hot sauce, which made your taste buds come alive and dance.Then one had Sister Rosarias Lamb Shank for main. Oh yes, not just ANY lamb shank, this one was Sister Rosarias Lamb Shank. As a side there was generous portion of thick creamy mashed potato, that just melts in your mouth. Oh and dont forgot the most famous addition to this meal, the mint gravy. With added Rosemary.

Is it working? Is your mouth watering? Please let me know below ;) I tried my hardest!

Now onto todays outfit. As i seen it was nice weather i wanted to wear something light and cooling. I remembered i had this dress and because it was quite baggy i thought i would try and take some inspiration from Sara from Waiste. GO CHECK HER BLOG! She has quite a bohemian hippy vibe to her style and i just adore it! Although it may not be something she may wear id still say i took inspiration from her especially adding something over the top of the dress. She has an amazing collection of cardis & kimonos, i dont so i thought this shirt would give it the effect i was looking for! Aswell the hippy bag and i was ready to go! So Sara, if you see this i hope you like it! <3

Oh and by the way, sorry for the photo heavy post!
