BAD ASS WINNIE THE POOH & FRIENDS

Hiya guys! How are you all today? I'm feeling good, i'm really happy with some of the small changes i've made in my life recently. They aren't significantly huge life changing decisions or "New Years Resolutions" just some minor things that i wanted/thought i needed to change. I am slowly but surely keeping up with them all daily, but you have to start somewhere right? I have to say i have felt a little different already, i don't think i'm as lethargic as i was before the christmas period. Sometimes you just get yourself into a bad routine and its really hard to shake it off! But this time as i said, it seems to be working! I don't know whats different this time, i think its to do with my mindset. I was so determined to just get on with and stop bitching. So a kick up the arse can always help ;)

Today we went for lunch with Chris' mum to the trusty ol'Linwood Farmhouse, its freaking amazing! I love the place, its just really good pub grub! The menu is huge as well, so i don't think you would struggle with trying to find something to eat. Not to mention the prices, which is good for skint folks like us ;) I had the same for lunch that i always go for in there... I really can't help it! I'm a creature of habit, what can i say or do?

OUTFIT DETAILS

As i was just pondering about the flat today and going out for lunch, i wanted something casual and pretty comfy but with a chic twist! I thought i should wear this skirt as i hadn't in a while and you guys seemed to love it! So i thought i would try and see what else i could do with it, i thought doing a plaid/grunge vibe with it would look pretty cool. So i love this top as i was a HUGE winnie the pooh fan when i was younger and it matched the red in the tartan top, i originally was going to put on my tartan litas. But Chris and i both agreed that these croc red kitten heels went much better and gave it the chic twist i was looking for! I could of just added my trusty docs or creepers but i like to mix things up a bit... Mixing contrasting styles. Chris actually said this one of my "tame outfits" :P I knew already i was going to use this bad as its amazing! I'm so in love with it and it really helped give the elegant feel i was looking to add. I styled gold jewellery with this outfit because of the gold on my bag.

So what do you think? Did i manage the plaid/grunge/chic look?

DRESS ME IN RED & TARTAN

Hey everyone, so this outfit is from last night when we went out. We decided to go the cinema after dinner as well, so by the time we got in it was already 12ish. I tried to get my post up but by the time we were actually getting into bed i just didn't have time to finish off everything i needed too. It takes me about half hour putting in the clothing links for my blog, chictopia and lookbook. As well as posting updates on my facebook page and twitter to let everyone know i've updated. So i decided to just get the main bulk sorted. Which is, choosing my photos, resizing photos, making a collage for my lookbook and getting some of the writing for the post done (yes, even though i am writing in past tense, i wrote this last night because i knew i would be posting today!).

So we went to Amarettos (which i already mentioned at some point yesterday) and we were both really looking forward to it as we hadn't been in a while. Im really annoyed because i forgot to take an insta-pic of my starter, too busy talking (which is not a bad thing, we have a rule that mobile phones are not allowed at the table especially when we are out. Only to quickly photography the meals). So i shall have to try and word it excellently, oh and don't forget to add that ~~french~~ i mean italian accent ;)

For a starter, i had rich and creamy goats cheese covered in dark, golden crunchy breadcrumbs, expertly fried. With a tomato and an added dribble of sweet chilli sauce. As well as a fancy salad drizzled in a balsamic vinegar.

And here is my main, Fettuccini Pescatore. Which is tiger prawns & clam meat with a pesto white wine sauce.

OUTFIT DETAILS
I wanted to wear something smart and casual as i was going out for a meal but we were "maybe" going to go to the cinema. We did end up going and we seen White House Down. I picked the shirt first as i wanted to be warm, as its getting quite chilly in Scotland now. Then i picked this skirt because i haven't worn it in a while and it is one of my favourites to just thrown on, it goes with quite alot. Not bad for £8 a few years ago! You can probably guess why i picked the jacket and the boots. They matched the pattern and colour of my shirt. I love this jacket, its bright fucking red. Again, these boots are some of my favourites! I couldn't just got for a plain pair of red Jeffrey Campbells, then i would have the same as everyone else ;)

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE COUNTRY PATHS

Heya everyone :) What have you been up today? When we got up we went and done our weekly food shop. We were going to go for another bike ride but the weather is/was extremely hot today! Also im not 100% as i missed 2 injections the day before yesterday. Oops! So my heart was feeling a bit sore... bad isnt it? So instead of wasting the day we decided to stuff ourselves silly ;) We went to our usual favourite spot, Amarettos'. Honestly, if you are ever in or near Glasgow make a trip to Bridge of Weir! Its one of the best restaurants ever. The lunch time menu wasnt on as me missed it by few minutes or so. There was, however a specials menu on and we've never seen it on before so it was a bit of a surprise. Chris (fiance) ordered from the specials for a bit of change but i stuck to the main menu.

Chris had meatballs in napoli sauce with garlic bread to start with, then had a sausage, mozzarella and caramelised red onions in a napoli sauce calzone. I had potato & leek soup to start with then had breaded chicken with mozzarella & ham covered in a napoli sauce.

Todays outfit was pretty much thrown together as i was in a rush to get out the door, i was pretty hungry and so was Chris. I dont think ive ever worn this dress so i threw it on and because of its light material. Waay to hot for me! I put on my red snake skin heels as i thought they were a nice touch, plus i wanted to wear heels, but i had to be careful what to put on. I have a sore from another pair of heels on my ankle at the moment. I have very sensitive feet due to my diabetes so i need to be very careful what i wear. The white bag, obviously matches the white in my dress and i didnt have to struggle to get it out of the mountain of bags in my wardrobe. To be honest thats why i go through stages of just over wearing certain bags, i cant be bothered to have a fight every time i want to change my bag. The hat i thought would add a nice lady-like touch aswell as helping with keeping me cool!
