THE COLD WINTER AIR

Hiya how are you all today? This is my first official outfit post of 2014! I know i have posted some outfits, but they were from last year, so they don't really count! So i have a bit of a cold at the moment so right now im just running a nice warm bath to relax in! I was planning on getting my birthday haul filmed as well as the first half of my christmas haul filmed, but im sniffling every 2 minutes and it really isn't great to listen too! As well as my man voice and the coughing... So as i said im having my bath and relaxing instead! Its ok though as it gives me time to work on my last holiday post as well as the video that will be uploaded a day later.

So today was a pretty relaxed day, we met Chris' mum for some lunch then popped up to Glasgow. As we needed to pick up Chris' new pairs of glasses. Which reminds me, i really need to get my eyes tested! I haven't had them checked in sooo long, which is quite bad. Especially with being diabetic i'm meant to keep on top of those things. But i just forget sometimes what im meant to be sorting out and doing. Hence why im trying so hard to learn to organise myself, as this year really is a huge year for planning and organising... MY WEDDING! But i guess all that stuff sorts itself out with time and age.

OUTFIT DETAILS

I wanted to have loads of warm layers on today, i originally even had a cardigan on with this. The air up here now has a very cold nip to it and the fact i have a sniffly nose i just wanted to be snuggled up and warm! But as i do get hot too easily i thought i better take off my cardigan... So i started with the dress and as i put on my grey tights i decided a thick brown jumper to layer with would go perfectly. Then i could through on my brown ankle boots, as well as my huge oversized vintage green jacket. I wanted the flat boots on as we would be walking in Glasgow and i didn't think i could really be bothered with heels. Again i was just keeping it casual with the bag, i wasn't carrying much! I really love this necklace, i feel like im wearing armour. You should totally check out Persunmalls jewellery as they have some AMAZING pieces on there but the prices are so low!

DAISES, FLOWERS & DUNGAREES

Heya everyone, i am so sorry that ive been so bad at blogging recently. I was doing so good as well, i had gotten myself into a little routine. Oh well it starts again today! I've even got a haul video done today, but i'm posting it tomorrow on my YouTube as i'm not going to have time. I need to get this post up and also post on my Chictopia & Lookbook which takes me 2 hours in total! I'm also off out to the cinema tonight. I have no idea what we are seeing though, as Chris has chosen and isn't telling me as a surprise. ;) We normally have a take away if we go to the cinema, its just a bit of a tradition. Its also because we like to go to quite late showings so we'll normally grab one afterwards. But we're having one before tonight as im starving!

We went out today with Chris mum for lunch, as we pick her up for work and then go for a catch up. I had toasted BLT (without the t) with coleslaw and ready salted crisps. But i only managed a measly half of a sandwich as its that time of the month (you understand ladies) and i had a bit of a sore/sickly tummy so i had to donate it to Chris instead (which, lets be honest, he was obviously happy with that. What man/boy doesn't eat like a horse and eat pretty much everything). I've also had some fantastic changes with my blog, i'm now working with companies which is an achievement i think, its nice to get some recognition for your blog/style. As well as having a company i wanted to work with and that is Choies as i really love the brand and how amazing their items are! Im also working with Persunmall which i think is a fairly new brand, but they honestly have some amazing pieces! Go check them out! Oh and Romwomen which is fantastically priced and has some awesome wardrobe staples.

OUTFIT DETAILS

So today i knew i wanted to wear my kimono, i'm very obsessed with it at the moment. I thought i would throw on my dungarees (with a red top underneath) on as i haven't really worn them. Also because i wanted to show that you can still get away with wearing them in a/w, by obviously layering up. I haven't personally seen anyone with a short pair on since we've entered winter so i thought id try and be a little different! You know me, dosen't matter what it is but i try and do it with a twist! I used the tasselled bag because i though it went well with the kimono and the hippy type feel i had already seemed to be going for. I put on my tartan litas to match with the red i was wearing and to obviously keep up to date with the tartan theme thats everywhere!

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...

ANOTHER DAY BEEN & GONE

Hiya everyone! Good news, we had the sun pay us a visit today! Well, this afternoon really. As you all know by now, its a wednesday, so we went out for lunch with Chris' grandparents and went to Harvesters in Xscape. Before i went out, i went to visit a family friend as there has been seen some devastating news so i wanted to show my support. It was a pretty normal wednesday to be honest. I really havent been up too much as the weathers been crap and i've been skint, except rushing to my old college to get council tax redemption forms sorted out. We have been up at least 6 or 7 times to try and get our old lecturers to sign them. Nearly each time they were ether out for lunch or out for the rest of the afternoon. Or they just weren't there at all! So we eventually decided to leave the forms with them to fill out, but when we got them back they hadn't even filled them out properly! They forgot to sign it, which is pretty much the most important part of the form as at the office they cant even stamp it officially without the heads signature. Aswell as getting Chris' course wrong.

So todays outfit is a very summery one! Im really loving this vest top i was gifted by Persunmall, i dont really own alot of tops just t-shirts, so this is a really great addition to my wardrobe. I really love the unique style of the back aswell, i think its quite different. I thought the top would go quite well with these shorts because of the colour then i realised they were flowery too so if anything they matched even more than i planned! As it was a little nippy this morning i added my kimono as it had matching colours and flowery patterns. I wanted to wear these shoes as they are kitten heels and i personally thought they added a bit of elegance to the outfit. I used a brown handbag and sunglasses because i thought they would match my top and outfit more than black.
